Q

what are the 3 states of matter

A

solid ,liquid and gas

21
Q

particle arrangement in a solid

A

the particles pack together as tightly as possible in a neat and ordered arrangement.The particles are held together too strongly to allow movement from place to place but the particles do vibrate about their position in the structure.

22
Q

particle arrangement in a liquid

A

in a random way, and are close together, touching many of their neighbours,cannot usually be compressed or squashed.

23
Q

particle arrangement in a gas

A

widely spaced and randomly arranged, meaning they can be easily compressed or squashed

24
Q

law of conservation of mass

A

no atoms are destroyed or created during a chemical reaction.

25
Q

relative atomic mass [Ar]

A

the average mass of an atom of an element

26
Q

relative formula mass[Mr]

A

sum of all the atomic masses of the atoms in a formula of a substance

27
Q

uncertainty

A

the interval within which the true value can be expected to lie

28
Q

concentration

A

a measure of the number of particles of a chemical in a volume,can be measured in g/dm3

29
Q

30
Q

decimeter cubed

A

dm3

31
Q

concentration

A

[g/dm3]

32
Q

concentration [g/dm3]

A

mass of solute(g) ÷ volume (dm3)

33
Q

centimeters cubed

A

cm3

34
Q

concentration (g/dm3)

A

mass of solute(g) x 1000 ÷ volume (cm3)

35
Q

when a metal forms a metal oxide , why does the mass increase

A

atoms form gaseous oxygen have been added

36
Q

when an acid reacts with a metal,why does the mass decrease
