Define matter:
Anything that occupies space and has mass.
When matter changes from a solid directly into a gas:
Sublimation
When matter changes from a gas directly into a solid:
Deposition
Draw out the classifications of matter:
What are the two main classifications of matter:
Pure substances and Mixtures
Define a pure substance:
Substance made of only one kind of element or compound.
Define a mixture:
a substance made up of different kinds of atoms/molecules; variable composition.
What is the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures?
homogeneous mixtures have the same composition throughout.
Define an Element:
A substance made up of only one kind of atom. Cannot be separated by chemical means.
Define a Compound:
Two or more elements always found in the same proportions; can be separated by chemical means but not physical means.
1 cal = __J
1 cal = 4.184J
Define a calorie:
The amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of 1g of H₂O by 1˚C.
What are the three types of energy:
Potential
Kinetic
& chemical
Define Heat:
the exchange of thermal energy.
Define Heat Capacity:
the heat required to change something by 1˚C
Define Specific Heat:
The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1g of a substance by 1˚C
What is the formula for Specific Heat:
q=msΔT
Define the Law of Conservation of Mass:
Matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Define the Law of Conservation of Energy:
Energy is neither created or destroyed, only converted between forms.
Define Physical change:
When matter takes on a different form w/ out changing its composition.
Define Chemical change:
When matter changes and forms new substances.
Define a physical property:
Those properties that can be observed without changing the material's chemical identity.
Define a chemical property:
involves a chemical change.
What are some physical properties?
mass, volume, density, melting point, taste, odor, color, shape, etc.
What are some chemical properties?
Acidity, Alkalinity, Causticity, Corrosiveness, Inertness, Explosiveness, etc.
Describe the two ways solid matter arrange themselves:
in cyrstalline or amorphous structures
Describe crystalline structure:
atoms or molecules are arranged in geometric patterns with long-range order.
Describe amorphous structure:
atoms or molecules do not have a long-range order.
Define "properties" (of a substance).
The characteristics we use to distinguish one substance from another.
Define physical properties:
Those characteristics that a substance displays without changing its composition. ie.. the odor of gasoline.
Define chemical properties:
Those characteristics that a substance displays only through changing its composition.
Physical properties include:
odor, taste, color, appearance, melting and B.P., and density.
Chemical properties include:
flammability and other chemical activities.
Define energy:
the capacity to do work
Define the Law of conservation of mass and the Law of conservation of energy:
Law of conservation of mass:Matter can neither be created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
Law of conservation of energy: Energy can neither be created nor destroyed.
1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) =
3.60 X 10⁶ J
