Unit 2 Flashcards
Humans an other living things are composed of
carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur
All matter can be broadly classified two ways
Puré substances and mixtures
Pure substances
A substance that has a fixed chemical composition throughout is called a pure substance
Can be elements or compounds
Ex. Water, oxygen gas, ammonia
Mixtures
composed of two or more pure substances that retain their own physical and chemical properties
Further classified as heterogenous or homogenous
Homogeneous mixture
Has a consistent composition where you are unable to distinguish the separate components from each other can be separated by physical means, i.e. filtration, distillation, evaporation, etc.
Heterogenous mixtures
Not a consistent composition and the components can be distinguished from each other
can be separated by physical means, i.e. filtration, distillation, evaporation, etc.
Colloids are
Homogenous mixtures
Suspensions are
Heterogeneous mixtures
Sublimation
Solid to gas
Deposition
Gas to solid
Particles of solids and liquids are held together by intermolecular forces. Gases have particles that have virtually no interactions with each other and completely fill the volume of a container that they are held in.
Physical properties
can be measured and observed without changing the identity of the substance.
Chemical properties
can only be observed when a chemical reaction occurs. Chemical properties describe the reactivity of a substance with other substances and its ability to change into a new substance. Chemical properties also describe a substance’s chemical composition (the type and number of atoms) and reactivity, or how it behaves when in the proximity of other substances.
Evidence that a chemical change has occurred
includes a change in color, the formation of bubbles, a solid precipitate forms, or heat is absorbed or released which can be measured by a change in temperature. Temperature changes can also accompany physical changes such as dissolution or phase changes.
All chemical changes are accompanied by a

energy
Ability to do work or supply heat.
Two major forms of energy are potential and kinetic energy. Potential energy is stored energy while kinetic energy is the energy of motion.
Light is a type of
electromagnetic radiation and makes up a very small portion of the electromagnetic scale.
Light also gives off heat, hence when you stand in the sunshine on a sunny day you can feel the heat from the sun; whereas standing in the shade, not in direct sunlight, is cooler.
Heat
the flow of kinetic energy from a warmer object to a cooler object.
Kinetic energy
Warmth is a measure of the amount of kinetic energy that a substance has.
The more kinetic energy, the more “heat” a substance has. Cooler objects have less kinetic energy than warmer ones.
Heat is transferred as warmer particles bump into cooler particles—as they touch, the kinetic energy of one particle is transferred to the next particle and so on.
temperature
Measure of the average kinetic energy that a substance has
