Tags and Description

58 Terms

1

matter

anything that has mass and takes up space

New cards
2

volume

the amount of space that matter occupies

New cards
3

mass

measurement of how much matter it contains

New cards
4

density

the measurement of how much mass is contained in a given volume

New cards
5

inertia

the property of an object to remain at constant

New cards
6

vicosity

the resistance of a liquid to flow

New cards
7

weight

a measure of the force of gravity on an abject

New cards
8

pressure

a way to measure the amount of force being applied to a certain area: force/area=pressure

New cards
9

solution

the best mixed part of all possible mixtures

New cards
10

solute

smaller percentage of of the substance that is being dissolved by the solvent

New cards
11

solvent

the larger percent of the solution

New cards
12

solubility

how well a solute can dissolve in a solvent in a given time

New cards
13

compound

New cards
14

mixture

a substance made by mixing other substances together

New cards
15

precipitate

New cards
16

element

cannot be broken down into simpler substances and are primary constituents of matter

New cards
17

atom

the basic unit of a chemical element

New cards
18

suspension

a mixture in which particles are dispersed throughout the bulk of a fluid

New cards
19

dilute

having a relatively low concentration of solute

New cards
20

concentrated

present in a high proportion relative to other substances; having had water or other diluting agent removed or reduced.

New cards
21

saturated

containing the largest possible amount of a particular solute

New cards
22

unsaturated

having carbon–carbon double or triple bonds and therefore not containing the greatest possible number of hydrogen atoms for the number of carbons.

New cards
23

supersaturated

increase the concentration of (a solution) beyond saturation point

New cards
24

corrosive

the ability to corrode metal, stone, or other materials.

New cards
25

indicator

a compound that changes color at a specific pH value or in the presence of a particular substance, and can be used to monitor acidity, alkalinity, or the progress of a reaction

New cards
26

neutralization

make (an acidic or alkaline substance) chemically neutral.

New cards
27

crystal

make (an acidic or alkaline substance) chemically neutral.

New cards
28

amorphous solid

any noncrystalline solid in which the atoms and molecules are not organized in a definite lattice pattern

New cards
29

heat

the transfer of energy that results from the difference in temperature between a system and its surroundings

New cards
30

work

a change in volume against a pressure

New cards
31

temperature

degree of hotness or coldness measured by a thermometer with a numerical scale.

New cards
32

expansion

the spatial dilation of a material that occurs upon changes in its composition

New cards
33

contraction

the decrease in size (as of radii of atoms or ions or of atomic volumes) with increasing atomic number

New cards
34

conduction

the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules

New cards
35

convection

the process by which heat energy is transmitted through collisions between neighboring atoms or molecules

New cards
36

radiation

the spontaneous release of energy from an unstable atom to get to a more stable state

New cards
37

exothermic

Chemical reactions that release energy

New cards
38

endothermic

Chemical reactions that absorb energy

New cards
39

boiling point of water

the temperature at which its vapor pressure is equal to the pressure of the gas above it

New cards
40

freezing point of water

the temperature at which a liquid turns into a solid when cooled

New cards
41

thermodynamics

the study of the relations between heat, work, temperature, and energy

New cards
42

conservation of energy

energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another

New cards
43

heat capacity

the amount of heat required to change the temperature of a given amount of matter by 1°C

New cards
44

independent variable

a variable that stands alone and isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure

New cards
45

dependent variable

what you measure in the experiment and what is affected during the experiment

New cards
46

thermal equilibrium

temperatures balance out, heat stops flowing, then the system (or set of systems)

New cards
47

potential energy

the energy due to position, composition, or arrangement

New cards
48

kinetic energy

the measure of the work it does due to its motion

New cards
49

solving for density

  • d = M/V, where d is density, M is mass, and V is volume.

  • Density is commonly expressed in units of grams per cubic centimetre.

New cards
50

effects of solutes on boiling/freezing point

lowers the freezing point of the solvent, which is called freezing point depression, and raises the boiling point of the solvent

New cards
51

physical change

the appearance or form of the matter changes but the kind of matter in the substance does not

New cards
52

chemical change

a change of materials into another, new materials with different properties and one or more than one new substances are formed

New cards
53

phases in matter changes

when matter changes to from one state (solid, liquid, gas, plasma) to another

New cards
54

Boyle’s Gas Law

the volume of a given amount of gas held at constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure when the temperature and mass are constant.

New cards
55

Charles’ Gas Law

the volume occupied by a fixed amount of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, if the pressure remains constant

New cards
56

properties of solids, liquids,and gasses

Solids have a definite shape and volume. Liquids have a definite volume, but take the shape of the container. Gases have no definite shape or volume

New cards
57

determining the density of an object

the mass of an object divided by its volume

New cards
58

The Law of the Conservation of Matter

The same amount of matter exists before and after the change—none is created or destroyed
