Q

Solutions

A

Are evenly mixed, and two samples from a solution will have the same amount of each substance
Example salt water
Also a solution is also called homogeneous mixture

17
Q

more info to know

A

Some physical properties, such as mass and volume, depend on the size or amount of matter.

18
Q

Mass:

A

is the amount of matter in an object

19
Q

info about mass

A

Mass is the amount of matter in something
But weight is the pull of gravity on the matter ( make sure you know the difference)
The larger dumbbells have greater mass than the smaller ones because they contain more matter

20
Q

Volume:

A

it is a physical property that depends on the size or the amount of a substance is volume. Also is the amount of space something takes up

21
Q

Size independent Properties:

A

Size independent properties are melting point, boiling point, density, electric conductivity, and solubility
When a solid changes to a liquid that is the melting point.
From a liquid to the gas that is the boiling point
Doesn’t matter how much water is in the container it matters how hot it is

22
Q

Density:

A

is the mass per unit volume of a substance. Also Melting point and boiling point, density is a size-independent property.

23
Q

Conductivity:

A

Another property that is independent
Electrical conductivity is the ability of matter to conduct, or carry along, an electric current

24
Q

Solubility:

A

is the ability of one substance to dissolve in another

25
Q

info about solubility

A

For example the powdered drink mix is soluble in water, but sand is not.
Conductivity and solubility can be used to identify objects and separate mixtures.

26
Q

Bonds:

A

A force between atoms or groups of atoms
