Quiz 2 and 3 Math/chem review Flashcards
Accuracy is:
The agreement between experimental data and the “true” value
Precision is:
The agreement between replicate measurements.
T/F: One can be precise without being accurate.
True
Density = _____/______
mass/volume
Specific Gravity=
ratio between an object’s density and the density of water.
A value >1 is more dense than water, value <1 is less dense than water.
Chemistry is defined as
the study of matter and it’s changes
Matter is
anything that has mass and occupies space
What is considered the building blocks of matter?
Atoms
Name the 3 parts of an atom
Protons, neutrons and electrons
Do Protons have a + or - charge?
Protons mass =?
Positive + charge
Mass = 1 atomic mass unit (amu)=1.66 x 10 to the -27
The atomic number (Z) identifies the atom by the number of what?
Protons
What is the charge of a Neutron?
Neutral, no charge.
Electrons have what charge? and have a mass of?
Negative
negligible amount of mass.
Cations= + or -
+ charged ions
Anions = + or -
- charged ions
compounds contain
more than one kind of atom in a fixed ration by mass.
ex. CO2 or NaCl
Molecules are:
groups of atoms chemically bonded together into a discrete unit by covalent bonds. The have a neutral charge.
Ionic compounds:
Contain both + and - charged ions with no identifiable units. Attracted by charge and are NOT molecules.
