scientific method observation > question > hypothesis > experiment
solids occupy constant space, volume, and shape independent of container, rigid, close together
liquids occupy constant space, definite volume, independent shape: shape of container
gases diffuse, no fixed volume or shape, conforms to shape of container, compressible, constantly moving
kilo- (k) 1 x 10^3
deci- (d) 1 x 10^-1
centi- (c) 1 x10^-2
milli- (m) 1 x10^-3
micro- (upside down h) 1 x10^-6
nano- (n) 1 x10^-9
angstrom (A w/ halo) 1 x10^-10
Kelvin (K) equals C + 273.15
Fahrenheit equals (9/5)C + 32
Celsius equals 5/9 (F- 32)
density equals mass/volume
volume equals mass/ density
mass equals density(volume)
multiply and divide (w/ sig figs) report to the least number of sig figs
add and subtract (w/ sig figs) report to the least number of decimal placements
zeros between nonzero numbers (captive) significant
zeros following a decimal point (trailing) significant
zeros before the first nonzero digit (placeholders) not significant
sig figs of 7.350 four
sig figs of 7350 three
sig figs of 7350. four
sig figs of 0.015 two
(1815 - 1805)(9.11 x 7.92) w/ sig figs (9)(72.1512) = 649.3608 = 600
20.4g - 1.322g (w/ sig figs) 19.1g
2.00 in^3 >> ? cm^3 1 in = 2.54 cm 2.00 in^3 (2.54 cm/ 1.00 in)^3 = 32.8 cm^3
121 nm >> ? mm 121 nm (1 x 10^-9/ 1nm)(1mm/ 1 x10^-3) = 121 x 10^-6 = 1.21 x 10^-4 mm
law of constant (definite) proportions pure compound has the same composition and properties regardless of its source
physical properties measured w/o changing the substance ex: color, density, odor, melting point
chemical properties describe how substances react or change to form different substances ex: flamability
intensive properties properties that do not depend on the amount of substance present ex: temperature, density, melting point
extensive properties properties dependent on the quantity of substance present ex: mass, volume
physical changes substance changes physical appearance w/o altering its identity (phase change)
chemical changes substance transforms into something that is chemically different (rearrangement of bonds, new materials are formed)
