Chemistry Test

Matter and Energy

QuestionAnswer
chemistry the study of the composition , structure, properties, and changes matter undergoes, as well as, the energy changes accompanying these changes
matter anything that has mass and occupies volume, homogeneous and heterogeneous
homogeneous matter the properties and composition of the matter are uniform throughout the sample (exist as one phase)
heterogeneous matter the properties vary throughout the sample (has more than one phase)
composition what a substance is made up of
properties a set of unique characteristics of a substance, physical and chemical
physical properties a set of descriptive characteristics (can be observed without making a new substance )
chemical properties a set of behavioral characteristics (must produce a new substance by a chemical reaction)
pure substances any variety of matter for which all samples have identical properties, composition, and structure (made up of one type of atom or molecule) *each substance has their own set of properties*
element, pure substance cannot be decomposed by ordinary chemical change, atoms are the fundamental units of elements , each element has its own type of atom with the same atomic number, are the building blocks of a compound, must be homogeneous
compound, pure substance two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio by atoms, molecules are the fundamental units of these (atoms bond together to have as one unit)
compound, pure substance when elements form these they lose their individual properties and take on the new properties of the these, must be homogeneous
mixture consists of two or more substances physically combined, each substance retains its own properties, can be physically separated (requires little or no energy)
mixture can be either heterogeneous or homogeneous, have no set ratio of composition, homogeneous are called solutions, water based solution are called aqueous solution
energy the ability to do work
kinetic energy energy of motion (heat, light, sound, electricity)
potential energy stored energy due to position or structure
Law of Conversation of Energy energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it is just changed from one form to another
activation energy all reactions require this, energy required to start a reaction and have a net energy change, endothermic and exothermic reactions
endothermic reactions absorb energy (products have more potential energy than the reactants)
exothermic reactions release energy (products have less potential energy than the reactants)
calorimetry a measure of heat flow between bodies of different temperatures
heat a form of energy measured in joules or calories ( the amount of energy required to change 1 gram of water 1 degree celsius)
temperature a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance (not a form of energy)
thermometer measures temperature in degrees, fixed points on a thermometer are the freezing and boiling points of water (Celsius: 0 ad 100 degrees, Kelvin 273K and 373K)
absolute zero all motion stops at 0 Kelvin
solids (s) have a definite shape and volume, particles are close together in fixed position (a regular geometric pattern), have an ordered structure, attractive forms are stronger than motion
liquids (l) have a definite volume, but take the shape of container, particles have translational motion, particles slightly farther apart than solids, no ordered structure
gases (g) have no definite shape and volume, expand to fill container, have little or no attractive forces, particles very far apart
supercooled liquid look solid but have no ordered structure, glass is an example
heating and cooling curves show the changes between the phases of matter for a substance as temperature changes
phase changes, heating and cooling curves no temperature changes occur (only changes in potential energy), melting and freezing, boiling and condensation, sublimation and deposition
melting and freezing, heating and cooling curves changes between solid and liquid, occur at the same temperature, require the heat of fusion
boiling and condensation, heating and cooling curves changes between liquid and gas, occur at the same temperature, require the heat of vaporization
sublimation and deposition change from solid to gas skipping liquid phases
endothermic, heating and cooling curves changes going up the curve (melting and boiling)
exothermic, heating and cooling curves changes going down the curve (freezing and condensation)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
