CHEM CH 2 Intro
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| temperature where all molecules stop moving [coldest temp. possible] | absolute zero |
| SOM with definite shape & definite volume | solid |
| SOM with definite volume but indefinite shape | liquid |
| SOM with indefinite volume & indefinite shape | gas |
| gaseous state of anything that is normally a solid or liquid at room temperature | vapor |
| most common SOM in the universe | plasma |
| chemical blend of 2 or more different elements in a fixed ratio | compound |
| physical blend of 2 or more things in a varying ratio | mixture |
| aka homogeneous mixture | solution |
| part of solution that is mixed in [lesser amount] | solute |
| part of solution that that does the mixing [higher amount] | solvent |
| mixture that looks the same throughout | homogeneous mixture |
| mixture that looks different | heterogeneous mixture |
| separation by different boiling points | distillation |
| separation by different sizes | filtration |
| going from solid to gas | sublimation |
| going from liquid to solid | freezing |
| going from solid to liquid | melting |
| going from liquid to gas | boiling (evaporation) |
| going from gas to liquid | condensation |
| starting material in a chemical equation | reactants |
| speeds up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy | catalyst |
| gets made in a chemical reaction | products |
| means "yields" ; shows the direction of a chemical reaction | arrow(s) |
| means the reaction is reversible ; products and reactants form at the same rate | equillibrium |
| states that mass is not created or destroyed in physical change or chemical reaction | law of conservation of mass |
| gas is formed, precipitate is formed, color change, temperature change, odor change | clues of a chemical change |
