test on 10/01 Flashcards
Chemistry
The study of composition, structure and properties of matter, the changed matter undergoes and and the energy accompanying these changes
Matter
Anything that has mass and occupies space
Energy
The ability to do work
Physical Properties/changed
Characteristics of a substance that can be determined w/o changing the identity
Chemical Properties/changed
Characteristics that describe the manner to conditions in which substance changed to a new substance
Extensive Properties
Properties that depend on how much of a sample you have
ex. mass, volume, length, width, height
Intensive properties
properties that don’t depend on amount
ex. density
Pure substance
Any variety of matter in which all samples have identical properties
Elements
Pure substances that cannot be broken down (SMALLEST!)
Compounds
Two our more elements chemically combined, PROPORTIONS COUNT!!!!
Mixtures
Combinations of two or more pure substances that keep own properties, physically combines, no ratio, no bonds
Homogeneous mixtures
Has a uniform look, solution
ex. air, salt water
Heterogeneous mixtures
See differences in mixture
Filtration
Usually used to separate a solid and a liquid, uses a filter, based on particle size
Evaporation
Liquid > vapor, seperation of materials through ability to evaporate
Chromatography
Based on solubility of pigments in liquids, used with chromatography paper
Distillation
Separation based on differences in boiling point
Fractional distillation
Used to separate crude oil into its components
Solid (properties)
Has a definite shape, volume, little distance between particles, has a strong attraction and also is constantly vibrating
Liquid (properties)
Takes shape of container, has a definite volume, free to move, and has an intermediate distance between particles
gas (properties)
Takes shape of container, takes volume of container, particles free to move, has large distance between particles and a weak attraction
Density equation
m/v=d
Significant figures
1-9 all sig figs
Rules with numbers greater than one
with a decimal point: all numbers significant
without a decimal point, all terminal 0’s no significant
Rules with numbers less than one
You move right until you hit a number besides 0, that number and on is significant
Unlimited values
Unlimited 0 and defined quantities
Addition and subtraction of sig figs
Round answer to the least accurate measurement, and cut of the answer at common place holder
Multiplication and division of sig figs
Same amount of sig figs, must share!!
Scientific notation formula
A x 10^n
Addition and subtraction of sci notation
Make the exponents the same, add, and follow sig fig rules.
Multiplication of sci notation
Add exponents and multiply
Division of sci notation
Subtract exponents and divide
How to convert
multiply your number by a fraction
