properties of matter test Flashcards
physical changes
does not change the substance when measured
ex: weight, color, odor, length, flexibility, conductivity
density formula
mass/volume
unit: g/mL or g/cm3
chemical changes
changes the substance into something new
ex: burning, cooking, rust, chemical, reactions to produce a new substance
evidence: new color, new odor, new gas produced, light produced, new solid formed from two liquids (precipitate), temperature change (exothermic/endothermic)
mixtures
two or more substances that are not bonded together chemically and can be separated by physical means
solutions
an evenly mixed mixture (the same throughout)
unsaturated
type of solution
when more solute can still be dissolved
saturated
type of solution
when the solution is so concentrated (strong) that no more solute can be dissolved, reached maximum amount
supersaturated
when more solute can be dissolved in solvent by changing temperature or pressure
parts of solution
solute & solvent
solute
what is being dissolved into the solvent
solvent
the solute is dissolved into this
ways to separate
- settling
- straining
- filtering
- distillation
settle
over time particles separate
strain
large particles cannot pass through strainer
filter
only dissolved particles in solution can pass through a filter
