D. Salad Dressing

Definition
C. Clean air
Term
State
Definition
solid, liquid, gas
Term
solid
Definition

fixed volume and fixed shape

molecules organized, rigid, close together

Term
liquid
Definition

fixed folume, no fixed shape

particles close together but disorganized

Term
gasses
Definition

neither fixed volume nor fixed shape

particles far apart, moving around, fill container

Term
properties
Definition
attributes, characteristics
Term
physical properties
Definition

shown by matter its self, w/o changing internally or reacting with something else

intensive or extensive

ex: hydrogen is lighter than air and clear

Term
chemical properties
Definition

related to changes in composition, shown as matter changes into/reacts with another substance

ex: hydrogen is flamable

Term

ConcepTest: what is a chemical property of iron?

A. solid at 300k

C. iron conducts heat

D. denisty of 7.86 g/cm3

D. rusts

E. melts

Definition
D. rusts
Term
Intensive
Definition
independent of the amount of substance
Term
Extensive
Definition
dependent on the amount of substance
Term

Definition
red-blue-yellow
Term
physical change
Definition
change in form or state
Term
chemical change
Definition
change in composition
Term

ConcepTest: which is a physical change?

A. silver tarnishing

B. dry ice sublimating

C. food digesting

D. making water from hydrogen and oxygen

E. splitting salt into sodium and chlorine

Definition
B. dry ice sublimating
Term
Energy
Definition
the ability to do work
Term
kinetic energy
Definition
energy due to motion
Term
equation for kinetic energy
Definition
1/2mv2
Term
potential energy
Definition
energy due to position
Term
four types of potential energy
Definition

gravitational

mechanical (spring)

electrostatic (charge)

chemical (combustion)

Term

ConcepTest: which of the following is incorrect?

Higher PE --> Lower PE

A. Raised weight to lowered weight

B. Stretched spring to relaxed spring

C. +/- together to +/- separated

D. gasoline to products of gas combustion

Definition
C. +/- together to +/- separated because charges together are more neutral and more stable --> less energy
Term
two general rules for energy
Definition

1. lower energy states are favored

2. energy is conserved

PE can be converted to KE but the sum of PE+KE is constant
