Apologia Chemistry M6A: Changes in Matter and Chemical reactions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| chemical change | a change that affects the TYPE of molecules or atoms in a substance |
| physical change | a change in which the ATOMS or molecules in a substance stay the SAME |
| element | when ATOMS of the same type are collected |
| compounds | when MOLECULES of the same type are collected |
| example of a chemical change | burning a piece of paper |
| example of a physical change | ripping a sheet of paper in half |
| DISSOLVING an element or compound is an example of a PHYSICAL change because | it does not affect the TYPE of atoms or molecules. |
| A phase change is | when a substance CHANGES from one STATE to another; all that is required is energy. |
| The kinetic theory of matter states that | atoms or molecules that make up a substance are in constant motion; the higher their temperature, the greater their speed. |
| The main difference between phases of matter is | the volume they occupy. |
| Most substances take up the least amount of volume in their ______________ phase. | solid |
| Most substances take up the LARGEST amount of volume in their __________ phase. | gas |
| Motion requires | work. |
| Work requires | energy. |
| The HIGHER the temperature of the surroundings, | the FASTER the molecules move around. |
| melting point | temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid |
| boiling point | temperature at which a substance changes from liquid phase to gas phase |
| condensing | phase change from gas to liquid, requires that energy be removed |
| freezing | phase change from liquid to solid, requires that energy be removed |
| density | an object's mass divided by the volume that the object occupies |
| ________________ is a very important quantity in chemistry because it gives an idea of how TIGHTLY packed matter is in an object. | Density |
| To QUALITATIVELY determine something is | to OBSERVE it. |
| To QUANTITATIVELY determine something is | to MEASURE it. |
| Water is an exception to the phase change rule because solid water occupies ___________ volume than liquid water & it STAYS a liquid at room temperature. | MORE |
| All substances that are chemically similar to water | are GASES at room temperature. |
