Question
Answer
Definition of physical change   altars a substance but does not change it into another substance. ex: paper when you tear it  
🗑
Definition of chemical change   it is changed into another substance with different properties. ex: burning wood  
🗑
Definition of thermal energy   The total energy of a substances particles due to their movement or vibration  
🗑
Definition of chemical energy   The energy stored within chemical bonds within matter  
🗑
Whats true about changes in matter?   Matter changes whenever energy is added or taken away  
🗑
What is the principle that says in every physical or chemical change the total amount of energy stays the same?   Law of Conservation of Energy  
🗑
The change in state from solid to a liquid is called   melting  
🗑
in most pure substances, melting occurs at a temperaturethat is specific to the substance, called the   melting point  
🗑
the change in state from a liquid to a solid is called   freezing  
🗑
T or F? When the temperature of water drops to 0 degrees C, its molecules form regular patterns, which are crystals   True  
🗑
the change in state from the liquid to the gas state of matter is called   Vaporization  
🗑
Vaporization includes...   evaporation whic occurs on the surface of the liquid; and boiling which occurs throughout the liquid  
🗑
each liquid boils only at a certain temperature, which is called   boiling point  
🗑
Why is the boiling point of water lower in the mountains than it is at sea level?   In the mountains, air pressure is lower, and so is the boiling point  
🗑
The change in state from a gas to a liquid is called   condensation  
🗑
T or F? Condensation is the opposite of vaporization.   True  
🗑
When condensation occurs, does gas lose or gain thermal energy?   loses thermal energy  
🗑
Example of vaporization   liquid water changes into vapor  
🗑
Example of evaporation   a puddle dries up after a rain shower  
🗑
Example of boiling   a pot of water on a stove reaches its boiling point  
🗑
Example of condensation   clouds form from water vapor in the sky  
🗑
The change in state from a solid directly to a gas without passing through the liquid state is called   sublimation  
🗑
T or F? Changes in state are example of chemical changes.   False; physical  
🗑
Whats true about chemical reactions?   -all chemical reactions either absorb or release energy -in some chemical reactions, two or more substances combine, forming one or more new substances -all chemical reactions form new substances  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
