What is the universe composed of
|
Matter
|
|
Describe 3 properties of matter
|
1) Has mass 2) Occupies Space 3) Has Intertia
|
|
List the three states of matter
|
Solid, Liquid, Gas
|
|
Describe the properties of a liquid
|
Particles are mobile, but relatively close. Shape is like container. Definite volume. Flows. High or Low density. Not compressible. Expands slightly on heating.
|
|
Describe the properties of a solid
|
Close, tightly packed particles. Definite shape and volume. Does not flow. High or low density. Not compressible. Expands slightly on heating.
|
|
Describe the properties of a gas
|
Particles are independent, far apart. Shape and volume are like container. Flows. Low density. Compressible. Expands greatly on heating.
|
|
What is the transition from solid to liquid called? Give an example.
|
melting/fusion. Ex. melting of snow/ice
|
|
What is the transition of a solid to a gas called? Give an example
|
sublimation. Ex. sublimation of dry ice
|
|
What is the transition of a liquid to a solid called? Give an example.
|
freezing. Ex. Freezing of water (or a liquid metal)
|
|
What is the transition of a liquid to a gas called? Give an example
|
Vaporization. Ex. evaporation of water.
|
|
What is the transition of a gas to a liquid called? Give an example.
|
Condensation, Liquefaction. Ex. Formation of dew, liquefaction of carbon dioxide
|
|
What is the transition of a gas to a solid called? Give an example.
|
Condensation, deposition. Ex. Formation of frost and snow.
|
|
Can all substances change state by changing temperature
|
No. Some substances (like wood) undergo chemical rxns first.
|
|
Give 4 examples of physical changes
|
1) change of state 2) movement 3) breaking 4) dissolving - the molecules remain the same.
|
|
Describe a chemical change
|
New molecules produced.
|
|
Give examples of physical properties
|
color, taste, odor, solubility, luster, melting point, crystal structure, boiling point, hardness, elasticity, malleability, ductility, tensile strength, refractivity, coductivity, specific heat, density
|
|
What is the formula for density
|
D=Mass/Volume
|
|
How is the specific gravity calculated for liquids?
|
SG=Density of substance/Density of Water (Density of water = 1.00 at 3.98 C)
|
|
How is specific gravity calculated for gases?
|
SG=Density of substance/Density of air
|
|
Describe the difference between Mass and Weight
|
Mass is the amount of matter. Weight is the force pulling an object down d/t gravity. W=GH.
|
|
How can chemical properties be observed?
|
Chemical properties are observed when a substance undergoes a change in composition
|
|
Give examples of chemical properties
|
1) reactivity w/ another substance (air, acid, etc). 2) Flamibility
|
