Cards

Term

 

 

Energy

Definition

 

The ability to do work

Term

 

 

Potential Energy

Definition

 

Stored Energy

 

Molecules or objects that are not moving have potential energy

Term

 

 

Kinetic Energy

Definition

 

 

Energy of moving molecules or objects

Term


 

Temperature

Definition

 

 

Average Kinetic Energy

Cold = Low energy

Hot = High energy

Term

 

 

Types of Energy

Definition

 

 

Thermal, Chemical, Light, Nuclear,

Electrical and Mechanical

Term

 

 

3 Laws of Conservation

Definition

 

MASS, CHARGE & ENERGY

must be conserved.

None can be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another.

Term

 

 

Exothermic

Definition

 

 

Energy given off

 

 Negative -- Δ H

Bonds Formed

Term

 

 

Endothermic

Definition

 

 

Energy absorbed

 

Positive + ΔH

Bonds Broken

Term

 

 

Temperature

Definition

 

 

Average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.

 

Hot= High KE  Cold = Low KE

Term

 

 

Units of Energy

Definition

 

Calorie, Joule, Kilojoule

 

Cal, J, KJ

Term

 

 

Specific Heat

Definition

 

the amounf of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree celsius.

Term

 

 

Pure Substances

Definition

 

Two things are considered pure substances

 

Elements: cannot be broken down

Compounds: can only be broken down using a chemical reaction, not a physical change.

Term

 

 

2 Types of Mixtures

Definition

 Homogeneous: a uniform mixture (salt water), Solutions are water clear Homogeneous mixtures. Use (aq)- aqueous, to show if it is dissovled in water

Heterogeneous: having different parts that can still be seen (salad dressing)

 

Term

 

 

KMT

 

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

Definition

 

Gas particles move constantly in straight lines, when they hit things, they lose no energy, and the particles are not attracted to each other (no intermolecular forces).

Term

 

 

Properties of the 3 Phases of Matter

Definition

 

Solid- def vol. + shape, little movement of particles, only vibration.

 Liquid- Def. volume, NO def shape. Particles spaced enough so they may slide past one another.

 Gas - No def vol. or shape. Exert pressure on surroundings or container.  

 

Term

 

Mixtures are NOT pure substances, but can be made up of them. Mixtures can be DECOMPOSED by physical means.

Definition

Methods of Separation:

 

distillation    for liquids with different boiling points

evaporation  a liquid and dissolved solid

filtration        a undissolved soild and liquid

chromotography  a complex mixture

 

Term
