Nissing Chem Ch1
Chemistry Ch1: Chemistry and Measurement
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chemistry is defined as the science of... | The composition, structure, and changes undergone by materials |
| Any kind of matter, whether a solid, liquid, gas, mixture, pure substance, etc, is referred to as... | material |
| The observation of natural phenomena must be controlled so that these two things are possible... | 1) results can be duplicated 2) rational conclusions can be made |
| This explanation of a regularity in nature is tentative | Hypothesis |
| This explanation of a regularity in nature is concise and mathematical | Law |
| This explanation of a regularity in nature has been tested | theory |
| Is the scientific method a general process or a specific program? | General process |
| This value refers to the quantity of matter in a material | mass |
| all materials are made up of this. | Matter |
| Lavoisier's law of conservation of mass states that during a chemical change... | the total mass remains constant. ie, mass cannot be created or destroyed. |
| What is the difference between mass and weight? | Weight includes the force of gravity and therefore changes based on the amount of gravity applied. Mass is the same wherever the object is measured. |
| What are the two different principal ways to classify matter? | By physical state (solid/liquid/gas) or by chemical constitution (element/compound/mixture) |
| Rigidity is the main identifying characteristic of what phase(s) of matter? | Solids |
| Which phas(es) of matter can be described as fluid? | Liquids and gasses |
| Compressibility and expansibility are the main identifying characteristics of what phase(s) of matter? | Liquids |
| Phase(s) of matter that is relatively incompressible with fixed shape and volume | Solid |
| Phase(s) of matter that is relatively incompressible with fixed volume but no fixed shape | Liquid |
| Phase(s) of matter that is relatively compressible without fixed size or shape | Gas |
| matter that normally exists as a liquid or a solid but is in gaseous state is often called... | vapor |
| What are the three common states of matter? | Solid, Liquid, Gas |
| When a material changes form but not chemical identity, this is what kind of change? | Physical change |
| When a material has a transformation from one kind of matter into one or more new kinds of matter, this change is a... | Chemical change |
| Chemical or Physical change: Dissolving salt into water | Physical change |
| Chemical or Physical change: Iron rusting | Chemical change |
| Chemical or Physical change: Burning toast | Chemical change |
| Chemical or Physical change: melting ice | Physical change |

| A characteristic that can be observed without changing the material's chemical identity is what kind of property? | Physical property |
| A characteristic that can only be observed by chemically changing a material is what kind of property? | Chemical property |
| Chemical or Physical property: ability to react with oxygen | Chemical property |
| Chemical or Physical property: melting point | Physical property |
| Chemical or Physical property: density | Physical property |
| Chemical or Physical property: color | Physical property |
| Matter that cannot be separated by physical processes | substance |
| Matter that can be separated by physical processes | mixture |
| Pure substances that can't be decomposed by any chemical reaction into simpler substances | element |
| Substances composed of two or more chemically combined elements | Compound |
| This law states that a pure compound (like pure water) always contains definite, or constant, proportions of the elements by mass (one gram of water will always have .889g O and .112g H) | Law of definite proportions |
| You can separate a mixture by what processes | physical, such as distillation |
| a type of mixture that is uniform throughout a given sample, like sugar water | homogenous or solution |
| a type of mixture that consists of physically distinct parts with different properties, like sugar and salt | heterogenous |
| What type of mixture is air, homogenous or heterogenous | homogenous. Although any two samples of air may have different proportions, among one given sample it will be uniform |
| This term can refer to the different compounds in a heterogenous mixture, or to the same compounds in different states like ice in water. | phase |
| What are the two types of substances? | elements and compounds |
| What are the two types of mixtures? | Homogenous and Heterogenous |
| What are the two types of material? | substances and mixtures |
| Still confused on the terminology? Click on the target below for a visual that may help. Right-click it and choose "open in new tab" so you don't lose your place in the cards. | Seriously. Check out the target. Click "start test" on the left side of the screen if you think you got this. |
| A fixed standard accompanies any measurement. What is this fixed standard called. | unit |
| The closeness of a set of values you get from measuring the same thing is called... | precision |
| The closeness of a single measurement to its true value is called... | accuracy |
| If you measure a table 5 times and get the lengths 1.4m, 1.42m, 1.4m, 1.38m, 1.39m, but the table is actually 1.25m, then are your measurements precise or accurate? | They are precise because they are all similar to eachother |
| A shooter has his weapon zeroed but a loose shot groop. Will his shots be accurate or precise? | They should be accurate, because they're generally close to the right spot. They won't be precise, because they're not close to eachother. |
| An expert shooter fires 9 rounds with a weapon that hasn't been zeroed. Will his target show accuracy or precision? | They're precise because they're close to eachother. They're not accurate because they're not near the target. |
| This type of number gives digits in a measured number that include certain digits, plus one digit with some uncertainty | Significant Figures |
| This type of number gives a value as the product of a number between 1 and 10, and ten to some exponential value | Scientific Notation |
| This type of number arises when you count items or define a unit. | Exact number |
| This type of number is considered to have infinite significant numbers as "0" to the right of the terminal integer value | Exact number. ie, 12 eggs = 12.0 or 12.000 eggs, and shouldn't limit digits in calculations |
| This type of number is an expression of a value that contains only the significant digits in a calculation, with the last digit adjusted. | Rounded |
| If the right-most digit to be eliminated is between 0 and 4, how do you round? | down |
| If the right-most digit to be eliminated is between 5 and 9, how do you round? | up |
| At what point in a multi-step calculation should you round? | The very end |
| How many significan figures: 0.00682 | 3. Leading zeros are not significant |
| How many significan figures: 1.072 | 4. embedded zeros are not significant |
| How many significan figures: 300 | 1. Trailing zeros are not significant UNLESS there is a decimal point OR they are exact |
| How many significan figures: 420. | 3. Trailing zeros are significant when there is a decimal point |
| How many significan figures: 420.0 | 4. Trailing zeros are significant when there is a decimal point. This means 420 is certain, the final 0 is the digit with some uncertainty |
| 15.26 + 2.389 = 17.629 Give this answer rounded to the correct significant figure | 17.63 Adding and subtracting rule: round to the least number of decimal places. 15.26 had 2 decimal places, so the answer should be rounded to 2 decimal places. |
| 152.040 - 20.179 = 131.861 Give this answer rounded to the correct significant figure | 131.86 The least number of decimal places is 2, because the terminal zero in 152.040 is not significant. |
| 2700 x 1.3 = 3510 Give this answer rounded to the correct significant figure | 3500 Multiplying and dividing rule: round to the least number of significant figures. Both products in this question only had 2 significant figures. |
| 2 / 9 = 0.22222222.... Give this answer rounded to the correct significant figure | 0.2 Both products in the question had only one significant figure. In this answer, only the 2 is a significant figure. |
| 0.4 * 2.4 = 0.96 Give this answer rounded to the correct significant figure | 1 the first product (0.4) has only one significant figure. |

| What kind of reasoning uses general ideas to create a specific statement? | Deductive |
| If I fish in a lake and pull out only trout, I might therefore believe there is only trout in the lake. What kind of reasoning? | Inductive. Based on what I see, I think EVERYTHING is that way. |
| I know there is only trout in a lake. Therefore, if I catch fish from the lake, I can be sure it's trout. What kind of reasoning? | Deductive. Based on a broad/general statement, a specific conclusion is met. |
