Year Nine Flashcards
What does it mean by ‘changing state’ ?
A changing of state is the process of turning from a solid, a liquid or a gas, into another one of those states.
What are the separation techniques for the different states of matter?
Liquid particles - distillation
Solid particles - filtration
Gas particles - crystallisation
What is an energy store?
An energy store is energy something can have.
What is an energy transfer?
An energy transfer is a way something can get out or give out energy.
What are the six different types of Energy Stores?
Chemical energy
Nuclear energy
Gravitational potential energy (GPE)
Elastic potential energy
Kinetic energy
Thermal energy
What are the five types of energy transfers?
Heating
Light
Sound
Electricity
Work done
What is the calculation for Gravitational Potential Energy?
GPE = mass (kg) x gravitational field strength (N/kg) x height (m)
𝑮𝑷𝑬 = 𝒎 × 𝒈 × 𝒉
What is the calculation for Kinetic energy?
KE = ½ x mass in KG x velocity2
What is the calculation for efficiency?
EFF = KE ÷ GPE
What is the magnification calculation?
Magnification = image size / actual size
What’s the definition of magnification?
The process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something.
What’s the definition of resolution?
The firm decision to do or not do something.
What are the four units of measurement?
Centimetre (CM)
Millimetre (MM)
Micrometer
Nanometre (NM)
What is a prokaryotic cell?
Prokaryotes are organisms whose cells lack a nucleus and other organelles.
What’s a eukaryotic cell?
Eukaryotes are organisms whose cells contain a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles
What’s a subcellular structure?
An organelle
What is an element?
An element is a substance made up of on,y one type of atom.
What is a compound?
A compound is a substance made up of two or more types of atoms chemically joined together.
What is a mixture?
A mixture if a substance made up of two or more types of atoms not chemically joined.
What is a pure substance?
A pure substance is made up of either only one element or only one compound.
How do Chemists find out if a substance is pure or not?
They use Melting points.
Through melting points, what will the substance show if it is a pure sample?
A pure substance will melt sharply at a specific (sharp) temperature.
Through melting points, how would you be able to tell if a substance was impure?
An impure sample will melt over a broader temperature range.
What can we separate mixtures based on?
- Melting or boiling points
- solubility
- particle size.
