terms list
pure substance
matter composed of only one kind of atom or molecule
mixture
a collection of two or more pure substances physically mixed together
alloy
a solid mixture
homogeneous mixture
a mixture containing substances that are uniformly distributed
solution
a homogeneous mixture that consists of substances mixed on the scale of individual particles
heterogeneous mixture
a mixture containing substances that are not evenly distributed
phase
any part of a system that has uniform composition and properties
element
the simplest pure substance from which complex materials are made; cannot be seperated into simpler substances by physical or chemical means; each are individual
atomic number
identifies the element; the number of atoms in the element
hydrogen
the most common element; makes of 90% of the elements
carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen
the 4 elements that make up living things
diatomic gas
nitrogen
allotropes
different molecular forms of an element in the same physical state
compound
a pure substance composed of two or more different elements
filter, evaporator, decant, centrifuge, chromatography, and distillation
the physical means of seperating mixtures
liquid
on the top when seperated
solid
on the bottom when seperated
distillation
seperating substances that have different boiling points
density
a ratio of an obeject's mass to its volume
D=m/v
equation for finding the density of an object
length

K = C + 273
formula for converting degrees Celsius to Kelvins
0 K
absolute zero on the Kelvins scale; can't get any colder/lower
derived unit
a combination of base units
liter
base unit for volume in the metric system
cc
cubic centimeter; equals a milliliter
Kelvins
temperature scale used in experiments; an SI unit
base unit
a single base unit
converting 50 kilograms into grams
50kg x 1000 g / 1 kg = 50,000 g
converting 55 kilometers per hour into meters per second (1km = 1000m)
55km / 1hr x 1000 m / 1km x 1hr / 60 min x 1 min / 60 s = 15 m / 1s
crystallization
seperates substances by formation of solid, pure particles from a solution
chromatography
seperates substances based on their movement through a special paper; mainly seperating dyes (seperating black ink into all the different colors that make it)
filtration
seperates solids from liquids by using a porous barrier (seperating coffee grounds and water)
aspirin, sodium chloride, and ice
examples of compounds
oxygen, nickel, francium, and silicon
examples of elements
neon
Ne
calcium
Ca
iron
Fe
titanium
Ti
fluorine
F
"pure"
a relative term
homogeneous, heterogeneous, and phase
the 3 types of mixtures
pure gold
24 karat gold
pure water
clear, oderless, produces hyrdrogen gas bubbles
100 C
boiling point of water
0 C
freezing point of water
In a mixture:
the properties vary because the substances in it vary; it can't be represented by a chemical formula
In a pure substance:
there are specific physical and chemical properties; examples are carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and copper
In a homogeneous mixture:
all regions are identical in their composition and properties; examples are gasoline, syrup, and salt-water
In a solution:
examples are gasoline, tea, and salt-water; relates to homogeneous mixtures
In a heterogeneous mixture:
some regions have different properties from other regions; they can take many forms; examples are oil-and-vinegar salad dressing, a plasic bottle, and crunchy peanut butter
true
mixtures contain more than one phase
true
no element has the same amount of atoms
true
if an element consists of molecules, those molecules contain just one type of atom
true
elements may be made of single atoms or molecules
glass
melted sand
Si and O2
make up most of the earth's crust
SiO2
sand
Na + Cl > NaCl
a pure substance
109
number of elements
oxygen allotropes
O2 (diatomic oxygen gas); O3 (ozone); O (oxygen)
carbon allotropes
graphite and diamond
differences between compounds and mixtures
1. Mixtures are never made of only a single compound 2. Properties of a mixture reflect the properties of the substances it contains; properties of a compound often bear no resemblence to the properties of the elements that compose it 3. Compounds have a definite composition by mass of their combining elements
nitrogen, hydrogen, and chlorine
elements that exist as molecules
extensive
a property of density
decant
method of pouring the liquid away from the solid (seperating sand and water)
centrifuge
tool that seperates matter of different densities ( seperating the solid and liquid parts of blood)
V = m/d
way of finding the volume of a substance when the mass and density are known
ionic compound
a compound made of at least two different elements taht are chemically joined
evaporate
method of evaporating the liquid part of a substance and leaving the solid part behind (evaporating water from salt)
magnetism
method of seperating magnetic components of a mixture from nonmagnetic components (seperating iron and steel)
SI
"Systeme Internationale"
seven
number of base units
