Term
what do you use to measure mass?
what do you use to measure volume?
what do you use to measure density?
Definition
grams (g)
milliliters (mL) or cubic centimeters (cm3)
grams per cubic centimeter or milliliter (g/cm3 or g/mL)
Term
During a phase change, what happens to the molecules in a substance?
Definition
During a phase change the molecules either slow down from gas to liquid to solid or speed up from solid to liquid to gas.
Term
If three objects and three liquids are layered in a cylinder, how will they stack?
Definition
They will stack greater density on the bottom to smaller density on the top.
Term
How could you find the mass of water?
Definition
You measure the graduated cylinder then you measure the graduated cylinder with water inside it then you subtract the measurements.
Term
Why might the mass of water in an open container change over the course of a week?
Definition
Because when water is heated it evaporates and turns into gas.
Term
What is weight?
Definition
Weight is the measure of the force of gravity.
Term
What is made of matter?
Definition
Everything except energy.
Term
What will increasing the temperature do to a substance's volume? What is this called?
Definition
The volume will increase and this called thermal expansion.
Term
What will decreasing the temperature do to a substance's volume? What is this called?
Definition
the volume will decrease and this is called contraction.
Term
What will decreasing the volume do to a substance's density?
Definition
the density will increase.
Term
What will increasing the volume do to a substance's density
Definition
The density will decrease.
Term
What is a characteristic property?
Definition
It is a trait that identifies a substance and is not effected by the size or amount of object.
Term
What is a solid?
Definition
A solid is any object with definet volume and definet shape.
Term
How does a solid's molecules behave?
Definition
They are close together and vibrate.
Term
What is a liquid?
Definition
A liquid has no definet shape but has a definet volume
Term
How does a liquid's molecules behave?
Definition
The molecules move moderately and medium spacing
Term
What is a gas?
Definition
A gas has no definet volume or shape.
Term
How does a gas' molecules behave?
Definition
They move very quickly and are more spaced out.
Term
what is matter?
Definition
anything that has mass and volume.
Term
what is volume?
Definition
How much space an object takes up.
Term
what is temperature?
Definition
How much heat something has.
Term
what is boiling?
Definition
When water is heated and turned into a gas at the boiling point. (vaporization)
Term
what is evaporation?
Definition
When a liquid changes into a gas ONLY AT THE SURFACE.
Term
What is freezing?
Definition
The change in a state from liquid to solid.
Term
what is melting?
Definition
the change in state from solid to liquid.
Term
What is Latent Heat of Fusion?
Definition
The amount of heat a object takes from a solid to a liquid.
Term
What is Boyle's Law?
Definition
When the pressure of a gas increases, the volume of gas decreases. When the pressure is decreased, the volume increases.
Term
What is Charles' Law?
Definition
When the temperature of a gas increases, its volume increases. When the temperature decreases, its volume decreases.
Term
Characteristic properties stay the same for all materials (regardless of how much you have of the material). What are some characteristic properties of water?
Definition
The density of water is 1.00g/mL. It has a boiling point of 100 degrees celsius and a melting point of 0 degrees celsius. When it is heating it plateaus at 0 degrees celsius and 100 degrees celsius.
