Q

Heat energy

A

In order for a substance to change state ( from a solid to a liquid, or liquid to gas ) it needs heat energy

Q

Latent heat

A

As a substance changes state, it uses latent heat. There is no change to temperature, but the state of the material changes.

Q

Diffusion

A

Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. E.g. spray perfume in one corner of the room, and it spreads to the rest of the room

Q

Physical Change

A

No change in particles, just the particle arrangement and energy, easy to reverse e.g. mixing water and salt

16
Q

During a Chemical Reaction

A

During a chemical reaction the atoms rearrange to form a new substance. Might be seen by colour change, temperature change, light being emitted or bubbles

17
Q

Law of conservation of mass

A

Matter can be changed from one form to another. During physical and chemical changes, there is no overall change in mass

18
Q

Mixture

A

A mixture consists of two or more substances mingled together but not chemically combined e.g. sand and water

19
Q

There are four methods of separating mixtures

A

~ filtration
~ evaporation
~ distillation
~ chromatography

20
Q

Filtration

A

Used to separate small insoluble solids ( do not dissolve in a liquid ) from a liquid by using filter paper and a funnel to trap the solids. E.g. sand and water

21
Q

Evaporation

A

Used to separate soluble solids ( dissolve in liquids ) from a solution by evaporating off the liquid to leave the solids. E.g. salt and water

22
Q

Insoluble

A

Does not dissolve in liquid

23
Q

Soluble

A

Dissolves in a liquid

24
Q

Residue

A

The soil left in the paper after filtration

25
Q

Filtrate

A

The clean water that comes after filtration

26
Q

Evaporation

A

Used to separate soluble solid from a liquid e.g. salt and water

27
Q

Solvent

A

The liquid that a solid is dissolved into.

28
Q

Solute

A

The solid that is left behind after evaporation

29
Q

Distillation

A

method of separation used to separate a soluble solid and its solvent, or two miscible liquids with different boiling points

30
Q

Miscible

A

Liquids that mix together e.g. alcohol and
water

31
Q

Liebig condenser

A

piece of equipment used in distillation in which cool water flows to condense steam to water

32
Q

Distillate

A

clean water at the end of distillation

33
Q

Chromatography

A

used to separate mixtures of substances that are in a solution e.g. dyes in ink

34
Q

Chromatogramme

A

chromatography paper with separated ink

35
Q

Reactant

A

chemicals that react together in a chemical reaction

36
Q

Products

A

the substances formed after a chemical reaction
