1. Two categories that are used to classify properties of matter are extensive and intensive.
2. All samples of a given substance have the same intensive properties because every sample has the same composition.
3. The three states of matter are solids, liquids, and gases.
4. Physical changes are grouped into two categories known as reversible and irreversible. Reversible changes are changes from one state to another. Irreversible changes are changes that cannot change from one state to
5. Color
6. Liquids and gases are similar because they both have an indefinite shape. Liquids and solids are different because liquids have an indefinite shape while solids have a definitive shape.
7. The freezing of mercury is a reversible

homogeneous mixture
B. heterogeneous mixture
C. homogeneous mixture
D. heterogeneous mixture
15. They are similar because they have a uniform composition throughout. They are different because a substance is a definite composition, while a mixture is made by combining two or more substances.
16. You would use filtration to separate a mixture when a mixture consists of a solid and a liquid. You would use distillation when you have two or more liquids with different boiling points.
17. To separate sand and table salt you add water. Table salt dissolves in water leaving salt water and sand. The sand then will go through the process of filtration leaving salt water and sand separated. Then allow the salt water to evaporate where the salt will not evaporate and allow the salt to be separated from the sand.

20. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances while elements cannot.
21. The composition of a substance is always fixed, but the composition of a mixture can vary.
22. Chemical symbols are used to represent elements and chemical formulas are used to represent compounds.

extensive property-dependent of sample size- mass intensive property- independent of sample size- color
37. Melting and boiling point.
41. Solid- has particles tightly packed together in orderly fashion
Liquid- in shape of whatever is holding them
Gases- particles are everywhere and far apart
44. Homogenous mixtures stay the same, while heterogeneous mixtures do not.
45. A solution has one phase because they are homogeneous mixtures that have uniform composition.
48. Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances while elements are the simplest form.
49.
a. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements that make the compound water.
b. Nitrogen and oxygen make up the mixture air
c. Sodium and chlorine make up the compound salt
d. The element carbon and the compound water result from heating up sugar.
52. It contains two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen.

    Rubber Duckie Experiment

    An experiment that can be done at home to show that masses are not additive would be to take different size rubber duckies, fill up the bathtub and put the duckies in the tub. A small rubber duckie is going to float just the same as a larger rubber duckie, because the densities of the ducks will be the same. An example of an experiment that would show that volumes are not additive would be making jello. When making jello you use water and the jello mix, they each have their own density and mass. When you combine the two their masses and densities are combined, changing the whole product.…

    “Classifying Chemical Reactions - Lab Report” I - Introduction - Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties and change of matter. In chemistry, chemical and physical changes are used to help scientists understand how different substances react given various circumstances. A chemical change is any change resulting in the formation of a new chemical substance(s). A physical property is any change that does not involve the chemical makeup of a substance at all. In total there are five (5) chemical reactions.…

    “The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter can be changed from one form into another, mixtures can be separated or made, and pure substances can be decomposed, but the total amount of mass remains constant.” (University Of Wisconsin) The data the was found from our lab shows that the data is not consistent to the Law of Conservation of Mass because our results showed an increase in mass. To start the lab, .7 grams of copper was measured out and at the end, the total amount of copper was .73 grams.…

    The solubility rules were used to determine which reactant was aqueous and which one was a solid. The solid is the precipitate formed in the reaction. The formation of the precipitate indicates that a chemical reaction occurred. If no precipitate formed the reaction would be labeled with DNR, which stands for does not react. The solubility rules states which elements are soluble or insoluble, including the exceptions for each rule.…

    Essay On Atomic Theory

    • 1710 Words
    • 7 Pages

    An atom is a basic unit of an element. For thousands of years, people have been questioning about these tiny particles and have came up with many theories based around it. Though many people believe atomic theories started with John Dalton around the late 1700s or early 1800s. This is not true as the atomic theories started sometime during 300 or 400 B.C. with the philosopher, Democritus, being one of the first to come up with a theory about atoms. Democritus’ theory gave the basics of an atom; but his theory was rejected by many during his time as fellow philosophers, Aristotle and Plato, rejected his theory ("The History of the Atom").…

    Molecular communication is a paradigm for Nanomachines to exchange information. Due to some of the biological properties, bacteria have been proposed as a carrier for molecular communication, such communication networks are known as bacterial Nanonetworks. The biological property of bacteria is ability to mobilize and carry the information encoded in deoxyribonucleic acid molecules. Bacteria have social characteristic, which provides bacteria to evolve in fluctuating environment using cooperative and non-cooperative behaviour. The reliability in communication can be achieved through optimizing the cooperative and non-cooperative behaviour of bacteria.…
