unit 1 Flashcards
four part definition of chemistry
study of matter, its structure/properties, its reaction with other matter, and the energy involved with those reaction
what is matter?
anything that mass and takes up space
what is mass?
the amount of matter
what is the law of conservation of matter?
matter cannot be created or destroyed; the total amount stays constant
what is the law of conservation of energy?
energy cannot b created or destroyed; the total amount remains constant
examples experiment of law of conservation of matter/energy
methane bubbles demo/ whoosh bottle
what is a chemical reaction/change?
a change when one or more substances are converted into different substances
what are 7 indicators of a chemical reaction?
rusting, combustion, fermentation, metabolism, color change, change is state, change in temp, production of light
what is a homogeneous mixture?
a mixture with the same proportion of components throughout (salt and water)
what is a heterogeneous mixture?
a mixture WITHOUT the same proportion of components without (water and sand)
what is a compound?
a substance that is made from atoms of two ormolu elements that are chemically bonded
element
a pure substance made of only one type of atom
what are four techniques for separating mixtures?
filtration, crystallization, chromatography, and distillation
what are physical properties?
a characteristic that can be observed
what are examples of a physical property?
density, boiling point, melting point, color, conductivity, hardness, odor, malleable, mass, length, volume, area
