Term
Chemistry
Definition
The organized investigation of the changes in and the properties of matter.
Term
Give the following information for the measurement quantities studied in this section: quantity, base unit, symbol or abbreviation, instrument or equipment.
Definition
Mass: gram, g, balance.
Volume: liter, L, graduated cylinder.
Length: meter, m, metric ruler.
Time: second, s, watch or clock.
Term
State the correct method for reading a graduated cylinder. State the unit of measure and the equipment used to measure volume.
Definition
The reading should be taken at the bottom of the meniscus when it is at eye level. The unit of measurement is a liter and the equipment used is a graduated cylinder.
Term
State the rules for using the balance. Include the process for zeroing the balance. State the unit of measure and the quantity measured.
Definition
Always use the same balance throughout an experiment. Record the balance number in your data table. Zero the balance. Never mass a chemical directly on the balance pan. When leaving, put the center rider on 100 and the others on zero.
Zeroing the Scale- Dust the balance pan. Make sure all riders are on zero. Allow pointer at the end of the balance to come to a rest point, which should be the center of the scale. If this point is not in the center, adjust the balance by using the zeroing knob near the balance pan. If the pointer is below center, turn the knob counter-clockwise, if it is above center, turn the knob clockwise.
Term
Temperature
Definition
The measure of the average molecular motion of a substance.
Term
Endothermic
Definition
Absorbed energy
Term
Exothermic
Definition
Released engergy
Term
Specific Heat Capacity
Definition
The amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance 1 degree Celcius.
Term
Sublimation
Definition
The point at which a solid becomes a gas without passing through the liquid state.
Term
Deposition
Definition
The point at which a gas becomes a solid without passing through the liquid state.
Term
Kinetic Theory
Definition
states that all matter is made up of tiny particles called atoms. The atoms are in constant motion and when the atoms collide, the collisions are perfectly elastic.
Term
What determines the phase of a substance?
Definition
The way atoms are packed and their speed of motion.
Term
List the physical states of matter giving the characteristic properties of each.
Definition
Solid- tightly packed, very little particle movement, definate shape, definate volume.
Liquid- moderate packing, moderate movement, indefinate shape, definate volume.
Gas- loosely packed molecules, free and random movement, indefinate shape, indefinate volume.
Term
Equal masses of two substances absorb the same amount of heat. The temperature of substance A increases twice as much as the temperature of substance B. Which substance has the higher specific heat?
Definition
Substance B has a higher specific heat because it took more energy to raise its temperature.
Term
Absolute Zero
Definition
The point at which all molecular motion would cease.
Term
STP
Definition
Standard Temperature and Pressure
Term
Standard Temperature
Definition
Zero degrees celcius
Term
What causes pressure?
Definition
The force of collision and the number of collisions with the walls of the container and with the molecules themselves that cause gas pressure.
Term
What are the equvalents of standard pressure?
Definition
1 atm, 760 mm Hg, 760 torr, and 101.325 kPa
Term
What is the relationship for temperature and kinetic energy for gasses?
Definition
As temperature rises, the movement of the perticles rises, increasing the amount of Kinetic Energy.
Term
What is the relationship for volume and pressure for gasses?
Definition
When the volume of a container decreases, the molecules have less room to move around. The number of molecular collisions with each other and the walls of the container increases, resulting in an increase of pressure.
Term
What is the relationship between pressure and temperature for gasses?
Definition
If the energy on the system is increased, the speed of the molecule (temperature) increases, resulting in an increase of collisions between the molecules and with the walls of the container (pressure).
Term
What is the relationship between volume and temperature for gasses?
Definition
A decreas in energy on a container will cause a decrese in the the speed of the molecules (temperature). To sustain the original number of collisions (pressure remaining constant) the molecueles must be given less room to move around. Therefore, if there is to be a decrease in temperature, the volume must decrease if the pressure is to remain constant.
Term
Avagadro's Law
Definition
equal volumes of gas at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of particles.
Term
What is Avagadro's Number?
Definition
6.02 x 10^23 particles = 1 mole
Term
What is used to represent an element?
Definition
Symbols
Term
List the classes of elements.
Definition
Metals, Nonmetals, Metaloids
Term
List the prop.erties and location for metals
Definition
They are shiny, have luster, reflect heat and light, conduct electricity and heat, they are ductile and malleable, and are located on the left of the imaginary stairstep line on the periodic table.
Term
List the properties and location of the metalloids.
Definition
They are located on the stairstep and have some properties of both metals and nonmetals.
Term
Diatomic Elements
Definition
Elements which contain two atoms per molecule
Term
List the diatomic elements
Definition
Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, Flourine, Clorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine
Term
Atomic Number
Definition
The number of protons in an atom
Term
Atomic Mass
Definition
The average mass of the masses of the isotopes of an atom.
Term
Isotope
Definition
Different attoms which have the same number of protons, but different numbers of nuetrons.
Term
Ion
Definition
An atom or group of atoms which possess an overall electrical charge formed by gaining or losing electrons.
Term

Definition
John Dalton
Term
List the parts of the atom and tell which particles are located in each.
Definition
Electron- electron cloud
Proton- nucleus
