        Help!  

Question
Answer
The study of matter and how it is affected by energy   Chemistry  
🗑
The study of energy and how it effects matter   Physics  
🗑
Anything that has mass and takes up space   Matter  
🗑
Into what 2 main categories can matter be classified?   Pure Substances and Mixtures  
🗑
A substance made up of only one type of atom   Element  
🗑
A substance made up of two or more elements; cannot be easily separated   Compound  
🗑
A substance made up of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means   Mixture  
🗑
The prefix hetero means _______   different  
🗑
The prefix homo means ______   the same  
🗑
What type of mixture contains substances that are unequally dispersed throughout?   heterogeneous  
🗑
What type of mixture is made up of substances equally dispersed throughout?   homogeneous  
🗑
Separation of a solid dissolved in a liquid by weight as it moves up something   Chromatography (Inks separated on paper)  
🗑
Separation of liquids by pouring off the “lighter” one   Decanting (oil and water)  
🗑
Separation of liquids with different boiling points by boiling one and condensing is in another vessel   Distillation (alcohol and water)  
🗑
Separation of a solid from a liquid   Evaporation or Boiling  
🗑
Separation of an undissolved solid and a liquid   Filtering  
🗑
Separation of a magnetic solid from other materials   Magnetism  
🗑
Separation of solids of different sizes   Sieving or Screening  
🗑
A heterogeneous mixture with larger particles that never settle   Colloid  
🗑
What keeps the large particles in colloids from settling?   The constant random motion (Brownian motion) of smaller particles within the colloid keeps them suspended.  
🗑
What occurs within colloids because of the larger particles?   The Tyndall Effect; a scattering of light as it passes through a colloid and strikes the larger particles  
🗑
A heterogeneous mixture containing a liquid from which visible particles settle out   suspension (Italian dressing, muddy water)  
🗑
A homogenous mixture is also called this   A solution  
🗑
A solution contains two parts: _______ & _______   The solute and the solvent  
🗑
This is the solid that dissolves to create a solution   The solute  
🗑
This is the liquid into which the solid dissolves   The solvent  
🗑
Characteristic of a substance which can be observed without changing its identity.   Physical Property  
🗑
What are some physical properties?   Color shape, size, texture, luster, state of matter, magnetism, ductility viscosity, heat conduction, electrical conduction, freezing or boiling points  
🗑
Into what two categories do physical properties fall?   Appearance and Behavior  
🗑
A change in a substance’s size, shape, or state of matter without changing its identity   Physical change.  
🗑
A change of a substance into one or more other substances   Chemical change  
🗑
List some signs of a chemical change   heat or cold, light produced, electricity released, gas made, precipitate formed, definite color change, new substance(s) formed  
🗑
Characteristics of a substance indicating that it can change chemically (to a different substance)   Chemical properties  
🗑
When a substance undergoes a chemical change, we say it has ________   reacted (undergone a chemical reaction)  
🗑
What are some chemical properties?   Flammability, Combustibility, Corrosive  
🗑
State the Law of Conservation of Matter   In a closed system, the mass of all substances present before a chemical change equals the mass of all substances after the change.  
🗑
Physical and chemical changes to the Earth’s surface over a long period of time   Weathering  
🗑
What causes weathering?   Earthquakes, runoff, acid rain, among many other things  
🗑
What is the reaction of oxygen in a flame test?   A glowing split relights  
🗑
What is the reaction of hydrogen in a flame test?   A lit splint “barks” explosively  
🗑
What is the reaction of Carbon dioxide (CO2) in a flame test?   A lit splint goes out.  
🗑


   

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.
