Chemistry

QuestionAnswer
The law of conservation of matter There is no detectable change in the total quantity of matter present when matter converts to one type to another (chemical change) or changes in solid, liquid, or gas state
Pure substance constant composition all specimens have exactly the same makeup and properties
Elements Pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical change.
Compounds Pure substances that are comprised of two or more elements
Mixture two or more types of matter
Heterogenous mixture Not uniform throughout. (Italian dressing: oil and vinegar. One drop may be mostly oil another mostly vinegar)
Homogenous mixture: Uniform throughout (same thing each drop)
Physical property characteristics of matter that can be observed without changing the chemical identity (Density, color, hardness, mass)
Physical change Any change which preserves the chemical identity of the substance (bend, freezing, separation, mixing)
Chemical property change from one type of matter to another. Only be observed through chemical reaction (flammability, toxicity, acidity)
Chemical change produces one or more types of matter that differ from the matter present before the change. Changes that alter the chemical identity of one or more substance (rust is a diff kind of matter, food being cooked, rotting, digestion)
2 properties of matter extensive property and intensive
Extensive property amount of matter present. Mass and volume of a substance. (gallon of milk has more mass than a cup of milk)
Intensive property- physical or chemical trait of matter that does not change based on the amount of substance present (temp, density, boiling or melting point)
Periodic table groups metals, non metals, metalloids
Metals conduct electricity and heat
Non-metal poor conductors
Metalloids share properties of both metals and non-metals
Common unit prefixes
Scientific notation: positive exponent larger numbers. Move decimal to left
Scientific notation: negative exponent smaller number. Move decimal to right
Converting temp Celcius of Kelvin C+273.2=K
Accuracy how close your measured value is to your true value
Precise how finally and instrument measures
Sig fig- Addition and Subtraction Least sig fig of the answer will be in the same position as the least sig fig of the least precise input
Sig fig- multiplication and division quantity of sig fig of the input with fewest sig fig digits
Velocity density/time
Dalton’s atomic theory all matter is made of tiny, indivisible, and indestructible particles called atoms
Law of Defiant Proportions Specific chemical compound always contains the exact same elements in the exact same proportions by mass, no matter where it comes from or how it is made (H2O is always roughly 11.2% hydrogen and 88.8% oxygen by mass)
Law of Multiple Proportions When two elements make diff compounds together, fixing the mass of element A means the varying masses of element B will relate to each other in simple whole-number ratios (like 1:1, 1:2, or 2:3)
J.J thompson- Catho ray Discovered the electron and its charge/mass ratio
Milikan oil drop Fundamental charge and mass of electron
Ernest Rutherford Gold foil Atomic nucleus
Isotopes same number of protons diff number of neutrons
Z atomic # = number of protons
A mass # = number of protons and neutrons
q Charge. protons- electrons
Electron charge -1.602 x 10^ -19
Electron mass (amu) 0.00055
Electron mass (g) 0.00091 x 10^10-24
Proton charge 1.602 x 10^-19
Proton mass (amu) 1.00727
Proton mass (g) 1.67262 x 10^-24
neutron mass (amu) 1.00866
neutron mass (g) 1.67493 x 10^-24
Atomic Mass M= ∑i massi x %abundancei/ 100%
1 quart 0.25 gallons
1 gallon 3.79 L
1 L 1000 ml
4 quarts 1 gallon
1 kg 2,2 lbs
1 mile 1.609 kilometers

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.
