Q

Rules for Sig Fig

A 
#1 All non-zero digits are significant
#2 Any zero that falls b/w two sig digs is also sig
#3 Zeros to the right of the decimal place and to the right of a significant dig are sig.
#4 Zeros to the left of the decimal place are not significant unless the decimal point is explicitly written.

Physical Change

A

involves a change in one or more physical properties, but no change in fundamental components that make up the substance. The most common physical changes are changes of state: solidliquidgas

Q 
Dalton's Atomic Theory
#1 Elements are made of tiny particles called atoms
#2 All atoms of an element identical 
#3 Atoms of different elements are not the same
A 
#4 Atoms of elements can combine w/ atoms of other elements to form compounds. A compound always has the same relative #'s and types of atoms.
#5 Atoms are indivisible in chemical processes, that is atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical reactions. Chemical reactions just change the way the atoms are grouped together.
20
Q

Law Conservation of Mass

A

that mass is neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions. In other words, the mass of any one element at the beginning of a reaction will equal the mass of that element at the end of the reaction.

21
Q

Law of Constant Composition

A

A given compound always contains the same proportions (by mass) of the elements

  • states of matter can be changed form one for to another
  • mixtures can be separated or made
  • pure substances can be decomposed
  • total amount of mass remains constant
