Burris Honors Science Chapter 4 Review

QuestionAnswer
What is a physical combination of 2 or more substances or elements? Mixture
What physical means of separation involves boiling and then condensing? Distillation
What is the physical separation of colors called that we used to separate the black ink in a marker? Chromatography
What physical means of separation did we use to separate the iron from the sulfur in the lab? Magnetism
Name 4 ways of physically separating a mixture? Filtration, magnetism, by hand (size, density, chromatography, distillation, etc
What word describes a mixture that looks the same throughout? Homogeneous
What word describes a mixture that does not look the same throughout? Heterogeneous
Is granite homogeneous or heterogeneous? Heterogeneous
Would sugar water be homogeneous or heterogeneous? Homogeneous
What are the 2 parts to a solution? Solute and solvent
When making Kool-Aid, what is the solvent? Water
When making chocolate milk, what is the solute? Chocolate
What is the universal solvent? Water
In seltzer water, what is the solute? solvent? Solute are carbon dioxide molecules and the solvent is water.
Colloids scatter light. This is known as the _____ effect. Tyndall
What type of a mixture has the smallest solute particles? Solution
What type of mixture has the largest solute particles? Suspension
What type of mixture has intermediate size solute particles? Colloid
If two substances will dissolve in each other, we say they are _________. Soluble
If two substances will not dissolve in each other, we say they are ____. Insoluble
Two insoluble substances may be temporarily combined using a(n) ______. Emulsifier or emulsifying agent
Solutions consisting of metals are called _________. Alloys
Name 3 alloys Brass, gold jewelry, stainless steel, sterling silver, bronze, pewter, etc.
Name 3 factors which affect solubility. Temperature, stirring (agitation), solute size, pressure, etc.
What is the general rule of thumb concerning temperature and solubility? What is the exception? Generally, the higher the temperature, the faster the rate of solubility. The exception is for a gaseous solute. The higher the temperature, the less the solubility. Ex--trout are in cold streams because there is more oxygen there.
When particles are all alike in a substance, the substance is said to be ___________. Pure
What are the simplest pure substances? Elements
What is the building block of matter? Atom
What is the smallest unit of an element with properties of that element? Atom
What is the shorthand way of writing an element? Symbol
Odd symbols often come from what language? Latin
What is the symbol for silver Ag
What is the symbol for tungsten? W
What is the element with the symbol Tl? Thallium
What is the element with the symbol Zr? Zirconium
What is a shorthand way of writing a compound? Chemical formula
What is formed from two or more elements chemically combined? Compound
What is the simplest unit of a compound with properties of the compound? Molecule
What are the numbers in a chemical formula written to the lower right of the symbols? Subscript
How is the arrow in a chemical equation read? Yields
What are the substances written to the right of the arrow in a chemical equation? Products
What is the symbol for radon? Rn
What is the symbol for rubidium? Rb
What is the element name for Mn? Manganese
A chemical equation can be balanced by placing the appropriate number in front of a chemical formula. This is called a(n) ___. Coefficient
How many atoms of hydrogen are present in 8 molecules of water? 16
How many atoms of oxygen are present in 10 molecules of water? 10
What metric prefix means 1000? kilo-
What piece of lab equipment measures mass? Triple beam balance or balance
What two elements make up table salt? Sodium and chlorine
What element has the symbol Hg? Mercury
What are building blocks of matter called? Atoms
What is makes up the solution called antifreeze? Why is it used? Alcohol (or ethylene glycol) dissolved in water. The added alcohol makes the mixture have a freezing point well below that of plain water.
Of the three types of mixtures (solutions, suspensions, and colloids), which one(s) will settle out? Only a suspension will settle out or separate
Give three examples of a colloid. Milk, whipped cream, toothpaste, fog, suntan lotion, smoke, paint, butter, etc.
What term referrs to a solution that can not hold any more solute? Saturated
How can a saturated solution be made super saturated? Increase the temperature so it can hold even more solute.
What two things does a chemical formula tell about the compound? The elements present and the number of atoms of each element present
How could you separate sugar water? Through filter paper or let the water evaporate leaving behind the salt
True or false. A compound can not be pure. False. For example, water is a compound. If only water is present, then it is said to be pure.
What is the symbol for potassium? K
What four elements make up 90% of the human body? C, H, N, and O
What word meant "to group" in Section 4.1? Classify
