-formation of a product that has a different color than the reactants
-formation of different oder
-evolution or absorption of heat
During a physical change what remains the same

false
Compared to liquids gases have a low expandability
false
What is air mainly composed of
nitrogen
Carbon dioxide is
-denser than air
-a source of carbon for living things
-contributes to the green house effect
Oxygen is
-denser than air
-important for some energy producing reactions including combustion
Carbon dioxide was generated from the decomposition of potassium cholride
false
Oxygen was generated from the decomposition of carbonic acid
false
Low viscosity
gases have a low resistance to flow and therefore flow more easily than liquids
Low density
the density of a gas is relatively low compared to the density of liquids and solids
High compressibility
gases can be compressed significantly with a decrease in volume
High expandability
raising the temperature of a gas at a constant pressure will cause the volume of the gas to increase (expand); lowering the temperature will cause the volume to decrease (contract)
When carbon dioxide gas is "poured" onto a candle flame what happens
the flame should be extinguished
When a glowing stick in immersed in oxygen what happens
the stick should burst into flames
Hot gases produce in the combustion tube rise the tube because they are less dense than the colder gases in the surrounding air
true
Some fire extinguishers work by producing a smothering "blanket" of a dense gas. Which gas would you predict to be the one used
carbon dioxide
Electrolytes are compounds that conduct an electrical current in what
an aqueous solution
Cations
positively charged ions
Non-electrolytes
substances that dissolve in water but whose solutions do not conduct electrical currents
Strong electrolytes
good conductors of electricity because they are completely dissociated into ions
Weak electrolytes
are only partially dissociated into ions and as a result are poor conductors of electrical currents
Strong electrolytes include
sodium chloride (NaCl)
hydrochloric acid (HCl)
sodium hydroxide (NaOH)
potassium hydroxide (KOH)
potassium chloride (KCL)
sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
Weak electrolytes include
acetic acid (CH3COOH)
carbonic acid (H2CO3)
and ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH)
Non-electrolytes include
sugar
ethyl alcohol (C3H5OH)
acetone
acetaldehyde
Using the conductivity apparatus the light bulb glowed brightly when testing a strong electrolyte
true
The amount of voltage observed with an electrolyte is
proportional to the amount of dissolved ion
A KOH solution exhibiting 250mV has a lower concentration than a KOH solution exhibiting 98 mV
true
What are you doing when you are making coffee in a coffeepot

Extraction
a method for removing one or more substances from a sample or mixture
Recrystallization
a method which chemists uses to purify solid that is much more soluble in hot solvent than in cold

true
The two filtering steps removed both insoluble and soluble impurities
