25
How do fluid make it easier to use materials in fluids can hold other materials? Give an example
Fluids spead and flow. Mixing other substances with fluids enables you to move those materials more easily
26
What is a process for safely getting rid of broken glass?
1. Notify your teacher 2. Use a broom to sweep up the broken glass 3. Despose in an appropriate container, not an open garbage can 4. Vacuum if available
27
What protective measures MUST you take when working around an open flame?
1. Keep flammable substances away 2. Tie up long hair; roll up sleeves 3. Do NOT leave a flame unattended
28
How do you safely "smell" an unknown substance?
1. Do NOT sniff into the container 2. "Wave" directly above the container toward your nose 3. Take short inhalations
29
Define unsaturated solution
More solute can be dissolved
30
What are the factors that affect solubility?
1. The Solute 2. The Solvent 3. The Temperature
31
What are the factors that influence the rate of dissolving?
1. Temperature 2. The Size of Pieces 3. Stirring
32
What are the four rules of the Particle Model of Matter?
1. All matter is made up of tiny particles 2. The tiny particles are always moving and vibrating 3. The particles in matter may be attracted to eachther to bonded together 4. The particles have spaces between them
33
How does the particle model of matter explain mixing substances?
1. The particles in different substances are all different sizes 2. When two substances are mixed together, the smaller particles fill spaces between the larger particles 3. When one substance dissolves in another, the particels of the solute are attracted to the particles of the solvent
34
Why are environmentalists concerned about thermal pollution?
1. Some organisms can live in a warmer environment | 2. Warmer water cannot absorb as much oxygen as cooler water. Therfore, there is less oxygen for aquatic organisms
35
Define Density
The mass per unit of volume
36
Define Buoyancy
Tendency of an object to float when placed in a fluid
37
Define Compressibility
Extent to which a substance can be squeezed
38
Define Hydraulics
Using liquids under pressure to move loads
39
Define Pneumatics
Using gases under pressure to move loads
40
Define Solubility
The ability to dissolve
41
Define Valve
A device that controls the flow of fluids
42
Define Viscosity
Liquid's internal friction or resistance that keeps it from flowing
43
Define Pressure
Measure of the amount of force applied per unit of area
44
Define Surfactant
Particle that attaches itself to dirt and oil particles, separating it from fabric or other materials
45
Define Phosphates
Chemicals that were once added to detergents
46
Define R.O.P.O.S
A Canadian designed bathyscaphe
47
Define Pump
Device that moves fluids through or into something
48
Define Ballast tanks
Containers between the inner and outer hulls of a ship or submarine
49
Define The Bends
A type of decompression sickness
50
Define Bathyscaphe
Underwater ship built to go into especially deep waters where the pressure is to great for humans to dive
51
Define Submarine
A device that works by pumping water into or out of ballast tanks to rise or lower it's overall density
52
Define S.C.U.B.A
A device that enables people to dive deep below the surface of oceans and lakes
53
Define Diaphragm Pump
A device that works by using a piston to draw a fluid into a cylinder and then forcing it out
54
Define Hyperbaric Chamber
A device for divers who have "the bends". It increases the pressure surrounding the diver's body
55
Define Archimedes Screw
A device that transports fluid from one place to another using a blade wrapped around a cylinder
56
Explain the relationship between Viscosity and Temperature
The lower the temperature, the greater the viscosity
57
Explain the relationship between Density and Temperature
The higher the temperature, the lower the density
58
Explain the relationship between Density and Concentration
The higher the concentration, the greater the density
59
Explain the relationship between Density and Buoyancy
The lower the density, the less buoyancy
60
Explain the relationship between Compressibility and whether a fluid is a gas or a liquid
Gases have more compressibility than liquids
61
Explain the relationship between pressure and water depth
Pressure increases with water depth
62
The units for density are ______ and ________
g/ml | Kg/L
63
The formula for calculating density is ________
Density equals mass divided by volume
64
Calculate the density of a substance that has a mass of 6.34g and a volume of 0.6ml
10.57g --------- ML
65
How does the particle model of matter explain how density changes with temperature?
The particle model of matter states that particles ina subatnce move more quickly when energy id added. As a solid changes to a liquid, the particles move faster and faster. The same is true for whan a liquid changes to a gas. As the particles become more and more active, the spacesbetween them increase. Thid causes the volume to increase and the density decreases. When a liquid changes to a solid, the distances between particles decreases and the density then decreases
66
What is the Plimsoll line on a ship?
A line that shows how heavily a ship can be safely loaded in different water conditions
67
When would you have neutral buoyancy?
When the force of gravity acting on an object equals the buoyant force of the fluid
68
Why are gases more compressable than liquids?
There are more spaces between particles of gas compared to liquids
69
What is incompressability?
Not being able to be easily compressed
70
What is the formula for calculating pressure?
Pressure equals Force(N) divided by area (M squared)
71
Name a mechanical device that uses hydraulics
Jackhammer/Barbershop chair
72
Calculate the pressure created if there is a force of 500N on a 2m squared piston
P=250pa
73
What is Pascal's Law?
An enclosed liquid transmits pressure equally in all directions
74
Name a mechanical device that uses pneumatics
Tire pump/Air compressor
75
How do detergents clean fabric?
Most detergents use surfactants. Surfactants are particles that attach themselves to dirt and oil particles, separating them from the fabric and not letting them reattach
76
Define Hazard Symbols
Warning symbols on hazardous materials; made up of a safety warning enclosed ina yellow triangle, orange diamond, or red octagon
77
Define Solution
Homogeneous mixture; a mixture of two or more pure substances that look like one substance
78
Define Mechanical mixture
Heterogeneous Mixture; a mixture in which all substances are easy to see
79
Define Chromatography
A way of determining if a substance id a solution or a pure substance
80
What is the Particle Model of Matter?
A model that explains the behaviour of solids, liquids, and gases. It states that all matter is made up of tiny, moving particles that attract each other and have spaces between them
81
What are the properties of fluids?
1. Viscosity 2. Density 3. Buoyancy 4. Compressibility
