Term
What is chemistry?
Definition
the study of
1) composition
2) structure
3) properties and
4) changes
of matter
Term
what is matter
Definition
that with finite shape and volume (ie, occupies space)
Term
What is Mass, what is Weight?
Definition
Mass: a quantity of matter
Weight: is dependent on the potential field
Term
Law of conservation of mass/ matter
Definition
"the total mass remains concstant during a chemical change/ reaction"
stated another way:
"Matter is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; it is just moved around"
Term
solid
Definition
rigid, incompressible (can't manipulate volume), fixed shape and volume
ex: ice
Term
liquid
Definition
relatively incompressible fluid (fluid: no fixed shape, flows), fixed volume, no fixed shape
ex: water
Term
gas
Definition
easily compressible (compressible: volume can be manipulated) fluid (fluid: no fixed shape, flows), sample will fit into container of any size or shape; no fixed volume or shape
ex: steam
Term
physical change/ change of state
Definition
change in the form of matter but not in the chemical identity
ex: change of state (melt ice, boil water)
dissolution (dissolving kool aid powder in water)
distillation (moon shine; boil mixture, it vaporizes, encounters a condensor, condenses back to liquid, is collected in a receiver)
Term
chemical change/reaction
Definition
change in which one or more kinds or matter are transformed into a new kind of matter or several new kinds of matter
ex: 2Na+ Cl --> 2NaCl
Term
test for chemical versus physical change
Definition
original components cannot be reclaimed by physical means (chemical reaction; ex: bake a cake, if you freeze it, it wont turn back into the chocolate, flour, ect. you put in)
original components can be reclaimed by physical means
(physical change; ex: had ice, melted it, can freeze it to restore it to original state)
