What is the definition for matter? | Physical material of the universe, anything that has mass and occupies space. |
What is the definition for a property? | Any characteristic that allows us to recognize a particular type of matter and to distinguish it from other types. |
What is the definition for elements? | A substance that cannot be separated into a simpler substance by chemical means. |
What is the definition of a molecule? | Two or more atoms that are joined together in specific shapes. |
Define a pure substance: | Matter that has distinct properties and a composition that does not vary from sample to sample. |
Define the Law of Constant Composition and what is its other name? | Law of definite proportions, the elemental composition of a pure compound is always the same. |
What is another name for a homogeneous mixture and its definition? | Solution, a uniform mixture throughout. |
What are some physical properties of matter? | Observable without changing identity, color odor, density, melting point, boiling point, and hardness. |
What are some chemical properties of matter? | the way a substance may change or react to form other substances: flammability |
What are intensive properties? | Temp, melting point, density, they do not depend on the amount of the sample being examined. |
What are extensive properties? | depend on quantity, mass, volume. |
What meaning does the abbreviations M, k, c, m mue, n, p have? | M - Mega (10^6), k - Kilo (10^3), c - Centi (10^-2), m - Milli (10^-3), mue - Micro (10^-6), p - Pico (10^-6) |
What is the conversion for C to F degrees? | 9/5(C) + 32 |
What is the conversion for C to Kelvin? | C + 273.15 |
how do you find volume for a cube? | The length of the cube cubed |
What are common conversions for volume(L,mL)? | L=dm^3, mL=cm^3 |
What is the formula for density? | density = mass/volume (g/cm^3) |
Define precision: | A measure of how closely individual measurements agree with one another |
Define accuracy: | How closely individual measurements agree with the "true" value. |
The numbers 2.2g and 2.2405g have how many sig figs? | 2.2 - 2, 2.2405 -5. |
Regarding zeroes between nonzero digits are they significant? | Yes |
Regarding zeroes at the beginning of a number are they significant? e.g. 0.02, 0.0026 | No, 0.02 (1), 0.0026 (2) |
Regarding zeroes at the end of a number are they significant significant if they contain a decimal point? e.g. 0.0200, 3.0 | Yes, 0.0200 (3), 3.0 (2). |
Regarding zeroes at the end of a number are they significant if there is no decimal point? e.g. 10,300 | No 10,300 (3) |
Regarding significant figures what is the rule for addition and subtraction? e.g. 20.42 + 1.322 + 104.842 = | The result ends with the number that has the fewest decimal places. 104.842 = 104.8 |
Regarding significant figures what is the rule multiplication and division? e.g. 6.221 X 5.2 = | The result is rounded off to the fewest significant figures one of the terms has. 6.221 X 5.2 = 32.3492 = 32 |
