Topic 1.1: Introduction to the particulate nature of matter and chemical change Flashcards
Atomic Theory
All matter is composed of atoms
Law of conservation of mass
Atoms cannot be created or destroyed and are rearranged during chemical reactions.
Stoichiometry
Describes the relationship between the amounts of reactants and products during chemical reactions

Temperature and KE
As the temperature increases the average kinetic energy of the particles increases.
SI Temperature
Kelvin
Absolute zero
Temperature at which all movement of particles stops.
Kelvin - Celsius
K = C + 273.15
Endothermic
Energy must be transferred to matter from the surroundings.
Exothermic
Energy is transferred to the surroundings from the matter.
Solid - Liquid
a) Melting
b) Freezing
Liquid - Gas
a) Boiling
b) Condensation
Gas - Solid
a) Sublimation
b) Deposition
Pure substance
Matter that has a constant composition.
