Physical Properties Flashcards
Physical Properties can be changed without:
Changing its identity
Physical properties can be:
Quantitive or Qualitative
Nine examples include:
Color, Shape, Odor, mass, volume, magnetism, conducting electricity, strength, flexibility
Qualitative properties can be described using:
Words (exp. color, odor, texture, state)
Quantitive properties can be described using:
Numerical value (exp. boiling point, melting, boiling point, mass, volume, density)
Definition of mass:
Quantity of matter in an object or sample (units; kilograms, gram, milligram)
Definition of volume:
Amount of space that a material takes up (units; (solid) cubic meters, (gas and liquid) liters, milliliters)
Definition of density:
Quantity of mass in a certain volume of material (units (solid) grams per cubic centimeter (liquid and gas) grams per milliliter)
Deference between mass and volume:
Mass and volume depends how much of a object you have, the density does not care about the quality or amount of that material
What’s the formula for density?
mass
Density = ———
Volume
What happens when two liquids of different density’s mix?
The more dense one sinks
