Question | Answer |
---|---|
What is the molelar mass of one molecule of MgS (Magnesium Sulfide)? | Molelar Mass: Mg- 24.305 S- 32.066 Molelar Mass= 56.4 |
What does viscosity mean? | The resistance of a liquid to flow (a liquids "thickness") |
What are the 3 ways to increase the rate of dissolving are a particular solute? | Three different ways to dissolve a solute quicker involves: 1. stirring 2. heating 3. increasing surface area of solute (breaking solute apart) |
Whats the difference between a homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture? | Homogeneous- uniform appearance, particles do not settle at bottom, usually transparent. Heterogeneous- material settles at bottom, non-uniform appearance. |
How many elements, in a proportion, makes a compound? | 2 or more elements. |
Why can the properties of a mixture vary? | The properties of a mixture can vary because the composition of a mixture is not fixed. |
What determines if a mixture is a solution, suspension, or a colloid? | Size of the mixture's largest particles. |
What are some examples of physical properties? | Viscosity, conductivity, malleability, hardness, melting point, boiling point, and density are examples of physical properties. |
What is the different between a melting and a boiling point? | Melting point- temperature at which a substance changes from a solid to a liquid. Boiling point- temperature at which a substance boils. |
If gold can be hammered into a different size and shape, then it is what? | Malleable. |
Why do we use physical properties? | Used to identify a material, to choose a material for a specific purpose, or to separate the substances in a mixture. |
What are two common separation methods? | 1. Filtration 2. Distillation |
Using a wire screen to locate small objects in buried sand would be what kind of separation method? | Filtration |
What exactly is a physical change? | Occurs when some of the properties of a material change, but the substances in the material stay the same |
What exactly is a chemical change? | Occurs when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances. |
What causes the formation of a precipitate? | When a solid separates from a liquid mixture, and forms a solid construct within mixture. |
How can you recognize chemical changes? | If the substance has a change in color, produces gas, forms a precipitate, or has a change in temperature. |
How can you recognize if a chemical, or physical, change has occurred? | When matter undergoes a chemical change, the composition off the matter changes. When matter undergoes a physical change, the composition of the matter remains the same. |
Why does an element have a fixed composition? | Because it contains only one type of atom. |
What is the definition of Solubility? | Solubility is the maximum solute that normally dissolves in a given amount of solvent of a certain temperature. |
