Quiz 2 Flashcards
Chemistry
Study of matter, it’s composition, structure, and properties
Matter
anything that has mass and occupies space
mass
defines the quantity of matter in an object
what are the two types of matter?
pure substance, mixture
What are the two types of pure substances?
compound, element
what are the two types of mixtures?
homogenous, heterogenous
If matter can be seperated by physical processes, what is it?
mixture
if matter can not be separated by physical processes, what is it?
pure substance
what pure substance can be seperated by chemical processes
compound
what pure substance can not be seperated by chemical processes
element
pure substance definition
same physical and cheical properties all the way through. Can not be seperated by physical processes into simpler subtances
Can a pure substance be seperated by physical processes?
no
definition of mixture
composed of two or more substances. Can be broken down by physical processes
Law of Constant Composition
every sample of a compound contains the same amount (proportion) and same elements. Ex: H20, always twice as much O and H
atoms
smallest part of an element that retains the chemical properties of that element
molecule
collection of atoms, chemically bonded together and having constant proportion
chemical formula
uses symbols to show elements in a compound, and numerical subscripts to indicate the number of atoms present.
chemical reactions
show the transformation of one or more substances into other substances
chemical equations
uses chemical formulas to represent the substances involved
diatomic atoms
always shown in pairs (example: H and O)
examples of physical ways to separate parts of a mixture
filtration, distillation
filtration
separate a solid from a liquid by passing through a filter
distillation
separate a solid from a liquid by evaporation and condensation (make sea water into regular water)
intensive property and 4 examples
independent on the amount of stuff present. (color, hardness, concentration, density)
extensive property and 3 examples
Dependent on the amount of matter present. (mass, volume, amount of energy)
physical property and 8 examples
property of a substance that you can see without changing it chemically. (luster, hardness, color, odor, FP, MP, BP, density)
chemical property and 3 examples
must perform a chemical reaction (when one thing reacts with another). (heat of combustion, pH, reactivity with water)
3 physical properties of water
normally freezes at 0.0C, can be used to put out fires, cork floats/copper sinks (cork and copper’s density)
chemical property of water
during digestion, starch reacts with water to create sugar.
three things about a solid
definite shape and volume
well organized
not compressable
two things about a liquid
definite volume/indefinite shape
less organized
