Write in scientific notation: 0.0086 8.6x10^-3
When writing sig figs when you multiply and divide, how many should your final answer have? same number of sig figs as the measurement with the fewest sig figs
5.00 cm x 3.408 cm/ 2.0 cm= ? 8.5 ( 2 sig figs)
When writing sig figs when you add and subtract, how many should your final answer have? same number of decimal places as the measurement with the fewest decimal places
(55.930-2.0045)+7.81= ? 61.74 (2 decimal places)
giga (G) has what value? 1,000,000,000 (10^9)
mega (M) has what value? 1,000,000 (10^6)

centi (c) has what value? 0.01 (10^-2)
milli (m) has what value? 0.001 (10^-3)
micro (u*) has what value? 0.000001 (10^-6)
nano (n) has what value? 0.000000001 (10^-9)
How many milliseconds in 1 second? 1s=10^3ms
How many nanometers in 1 millimeter? 1mm=10^6nm
yard to foot? 1yd=3ft
inches to centimeters? 1in=2.54cm
mile to feet? 1mi=5280ft
meters to centimeters? 1m=100cm
meter to millimeters? 1m=1000mm
liter to milliliter? 1L=1000mL
quart to milliliter? 1qt=946mL
gallon to quarts? 1gal=4qt
kilogram to gram? 1kg=1000g
gram to milligram? 1g=1000mg
pound to grams? 1lb=454g
centimeters to millimeters? 1cm=10mm
Convert 50L to nL
What is the density formula? density=mass/volume
Matter is.... makes up all things has mass and occupies space classified according to its composition
Element: composed of one type of atom
Compound: composed of two or more elements always combined in the same proportion
Pure substance: Example? contains only one type of material carbon, C oxygen, O2
Mixture: two or more substances that are physically mixed but not chemically combined two or more substances in different proportions substances that can be separated by physical methods
Homogeneous mixture (solution): uniform throughout composition the different parts of the mixture are not visible
Heterogeneous mixture: composition varies from one part of the mixture to another the different parts of the mixture are visible
Mixture or pure substance? Pasta and tomato sauce: Aluminum foil: Helium: Air we breathe: mixture pure substance pure substance mixture
Solids: definite shape definite volume particles are close together in a fixed arrangement particles move very slowly (slow vibrations in a fixed location)
Liquids: indefinite shape definite volume same shape as their container particles are close together but mobile particles move at moderate speed particles have attraction to each other
Gases: indefinite volume indefinite shape same shape and volume as their container particles are far apart particles move very fast no interactions between particles
Physical changes: no change in the identity and composition of the substance change in the state change in the physical shape
Chemical change: new composition new chemical properties new physical properties making something new
Three common temperature scales: Fahrenheit (F) Celsius (C) Kelvin (K)
Kelvin temp scale: units are kelvins no degree symbol in front of K no negative temps 1K=1C
Formula for converting C to F: Tf=1.8(Tc)+32
Formula for converting F to C: Tc=Tf-32/1.8
Formula for converting C to K: Tk=Tc+273.15
What is 37.2C on the Kelvin scale? Tk=37.2+273.15 =310.4K
Energy formula: Work= Force x Distance
Kinetic Energy: Examples? energy of motion working out car driving on a road water flowing over a dam
Potential Energy: Examples? based on the position of an object or by the chemical composition of a substance a compressed spring chemical bonds in gasoline, coal, or food water at the top of a dam
Energy as heat: energy associated with the movement of particles the faster the particles move, the greater the heat or thermal energy of the substance
Units of Energy: joule (J) kilojoules (kJ) calories (cal) kilocalories (kcal)
Kilojoules to joules? 1 kJ=1000 J
Kilocalories to calories? 1 kcal=1000 cal
What do scientists use to measure energy values of substances? calorimeter
What is specific heat? the amount of heat (q) that raised the temperature of exactly 1g of a substance by exactly 1C.
What is the heat formula? q=m x c x delta T
When does a substance evaporate? when liquid molecules on the surface gain sufficient energy to convert to a gas
When does a substance condenses? when gas molecules lose energy and form a liquid
When is a liquid boiling? all the liquid molecules acquire enough energy to form a gas (vaporize) bubbles of vapor appear throughou the liquid
Melting occurs when a substance changes from a solid to a liquid as its melting point (mp) temperature
Freezing occurs when a substance changes from a liquid to a solid at its freezing point (fp) temperature
Heat fusion for water is 80. cal/g
Boiling occurs when a substance changes from liquid to a gas at its boiling point (bp) temperature
Condensing occurs when a substance changes from a gas to a liquid at its condensation point (cp) temperature
Water has a freezing (melting) point at 0 C
Water has a boiling (condensation) point at 100 C
