Answer 15

• pure substance
• cannot be broken down into simpler parts by chemical or physical methods
• eg. helium(He), oxygen(O),hydrogen (H)

Question 16

Compound

Answer 16

• pure substances
• made of two or more different elements that are chemically combined

Question 17

Mixture

Answer 17

• matter that contains **more than one **kind of particle
• eg. salt water=water particles (H2O) + salt ( NaCI) particles
• eg. air+oxygen(02)+ nitrogen(N₂) + carbon dioxide(CO₂) + other gases
• e.g. vinegar = acetic acid (CH3COOH(aq)) +
  water particles (H2O)

Question 18

info about mixtures

Answer 18

mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
* A** homogeneous mixture** is one where the
components that make up the mixture are
uniformly distributed throughout the mixture.
* The mixture looks the same throughout.
* Examples: air, blood, saturated sugar water

Question 19

info about mixtures part 2

Answer 19

• A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture where the
  components of the mixture are not uniform or
  have localized regions with different properties.
• The mixture does not look the same throughout.
• Examples: sand, oil and water, granola, pizza
• The components of a mixture are physically
  combined. As a result, a mixture can be separated
  by physical methods.

Question 20

Filtration

Answer 20

In filtration solid
substances are
separated from liquids
and solutions.
eg. a filter separating coffee grounds from the brewed coffee that passes through

Question 21

Distillation

Answer 21

Distillation uses
differences in the
boiling points of
substances to
separate a
homogeneous
mixture into its
components.
eg. an apparatus shows how a liquid with a lower boiling point than other components in a mixture it is vaporized ,condensed and collected in a beaker

Question 22

What are the advantages elements and compounds have on our society

Answer 22

making our lives healthier and safer and enabling us to accomplish
things that were once unimaginable.

Question 23

What are the disadvantages elements and compounds have on our society

Answer 23

negative consequences, such as the
release of pollutants into the environment.
In many cases, humans need to
determine whether the advantages
outweigh the disadvantages.

Question 24

physical property

Answer 24

is a characteristic of a substance that can be
observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance.
The physical properties of
materials play a significant role
in determining practical uses for
these substances.

Question 25

Qualitative physical properties

Answer 25

can be observed and described
without detailed measurement.

Question 26

Qualitative properties are:

Answer 26

colour, odour,state,texture, lustre and malleability

Question 27

Quantitative physical properties

Answer 27

are properties that can be measured
and assigned a particular value

Question 28

Quanititative physical properties are:

Answer 28

viscosity, melting point,boiling point, solubility, hardness, conductivity and density

Question 29

What are the 2 types of properties

Answer 29

Intensive and Extensive Properties

Question 30

Intensive properties

Answer 30

Are independent of the amount of the substance that is present.
eg.Density, boiling point, color, etc.

Question 31

Extensive properties

Answer 31

Depend upon the amount of the substance present.
eg. mass, volume, energy,ect.

Question 32

states of matter

Answer 32

The specific temperature at which an element or compound changes
state is a characteristic physical property illustrated by the diagram
below.

Question 33

What are the changes of state

Answer 33

melting,solidification,evaporation,condensation,sublimation and deposition

Question 34

melting

Answer 34

changing from a solid to a liquid (ice turning to water)

Question 35

solidification

Answer 35

changing from a liquid to a solid (water freezing)

Question 36

evaporation

Answer 36

changing from a liquid to a gas (a puddle disappears on
a hot day)

Question 37

condensation

Answer 37

changing from a gas to a liquid (drops of water
forming on a cold glass in the summer)

Question 38

sublimation

Answer 38

changing from a solid to a gas (dry ice disappearing)

Question 39

deposition

Answer 39

changing from a gas to a solid (the formation of frost)

Question 40

solubility

Answer 40

is the maximum quantity of a substance (solute) that can
dissolve in a given amount of solvent at a particular temperature and
pressure. Solubility is measured in units of mass of solute per mass of
solvent or mass of solute per volume of solvent.

Solutions with water as the solvent are called aqueous solutions.

Question 41

solubility and the environment

Answer 41

*Solubility in fat is an especially important property for some
chemicals. For this reason, toxic substances such as DDT can build up
in the fat of animals. This bioaccumulation leads to the
biomagnification of the toxin at higher levels of the food chain.

Question 42

Hardness

Answer 42

The hardness of a substance refers to its ability to be scratched.
Hardness is measured using Moh’s scale (a scale from 1 to 10, with 10
being hardest). Harder substances will scratch softer materials that are
lower on the scale. At 10 on Moh’s scale, diamond is the hardest
natural material on Earth. Drill bits use diamonds to cut through other
slightly less hard substances.

Question 43

Density

Answer 43

is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume it
occupies. The density of a substance can be calculated by using the
following formula: D= m / v

Question 44

Density of a material

Answer 44

The density of a material determines if it
will float on top of another substance.
Less dense substances, such as the
bunker oil shown in the picture on the
left, float on the more dense salt water.
An understanding of the densities of
substances can be used when attempting
to separate them.

Question 45

water’s unique physical properties

Answer 45

• is called the “universal
  solvent”
• is more dense as a liquid
  than as a solid (ice floats on
  water)
• is the only natural substance
  that exists as a solid, liquid,
  and gas on Earth
• can absorb a lot of heat
  before it gets hot. It has a high
  specific heat capacity.
