1B
List three physical properties of water? |
Answers may vary. Examples:
density = 1g/ml liquid at room temperature freezes at 0 degrees celsius boils at 100 degrees celsius |
|
|
1B
What is the difference between a heterogenous mixture and a homogenous mixture? Give examples. |
Heterogenous mixtures are not distributed evenly. Colloids are examples-mayonaise, raw milk
Suspensions are example- muddy water Homogenous mixtures are evenly distributed: Example-tea |
|
|
1B
What is the difference between a colloid and suspension? |
Colloids contain particles small enough to remian suspended in solution. Suspensions contain particles large enough that they settle out of solution.
|
|
|
1B
What is happening when a substance dissolves? |
The substance separates into particles in the solution so small they cannot be seen.
|
|
|
1B
What is the difference between an atom and an element? |
An atom is the smallest particle of an element. A molecule is the smallest particle of a compound and contains two or more elements.
|
|
|
1B
What is a pure substance? |
Each element and compound is considered a pure substance because each has a difinite and uniform composition and has distinct properties.
|
|
|
1B
What is a solution? |
All solutions are homogenous mixtures.
|
|
|
1B
What is the difference between a solute and a solvent? |
A solute is the substance being dissolved. A solvent is the substance dissolving.
|
|
|
1B
What do chemical symbols and chemical formulas represent? |
Each element is assigned their own chemical symbol. A chemical formula indicates the number and type of each element found in a compound.
|
|
|
1B
What is the purpose of a subscript in a chemical formula? |
The subscript represents the number of that type of atom present in the compound.
|
|
|
1B
What does a coefficient represent? |
The coefficient, the large number in front of a chemical formula, represents the number of molecules or moles of that compound. Ex: 3 CO2 represents 3 molecules or moles of carbon dioxide
|
|
|
1B
What do chemical equations represent? |
Chemical equations summarize the details of a particular chemical reaction.
|
|
|
1B
How do you determine the reactants and products in a chemical reaction? |
The reactants are the substances you start with in a chemical reaction. The products are the end result of the reaction.
|
|
|
1B
What are diatomic molecules. List them. |
Diatomic molecules are substances that exist as two bonded atoms. These are H2,O2,N2,F2,Cl2,Br2,I2
|
|
|
1B
Describe and ionic compound and give three examples. |
An ionic compound is composed of positive and negative ions or metals and nonmetals such as NaCl, table salt.
|
|
|
1B
What is the difference between a cation and an anion? |
Cations are composed of positively charged ions, ions that have given up electrons, while anions are composed of negatively charged ions, ions that have borrowed extra electrons.
|
|
|
1B
What is a precipitate? |
An insoluble substance that forms during a chemical reaction.
|
|
|
1B
What is the difference between a ionic compound and a molecular compound? |
An ionic compound is composed of cations and anions. In a molecular compound the atoms share electrons.
