Words to Study for Chem. Test• Solution• Solubility• Suspensions• Colloids• Pure Substance• Element• Compound• Mixture• Homogeneous Mixture• Heterogeneous Mixture
• Chemical Formulas• Chemical Equations• Reactants• Products• Subscripts• Coefficients• Law of Conservation of Mass• Decomposition Reaction• Replacement Reaction• Synthesis Reaction
Chemical Formulas• A combination of chemical symbols and
numbers to represent a substance• Examples– H20: Water
– CO2: Carbon Dioxide– NaCl: Salt– C6H1206: Sugar
Chemical Equations• A representation of a chemical reaction that
uses symbols to show the relationship between the reactants and the products
• ExamplesC + O2 CO2
2H2 + O2 2H2O
Reactants• A substance or molecule that participates in a
chemical reaction• Examples
C + O2 CO2
Reactants
2H2 + O2 2H2O
Reactants
Products• A substance that forms in a chemical reaction
• ExamplesC + O2 CO2
Product
Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Product
Subscripts• A number written below and to the right of a
chemical symbol in a formula• Tells how many atoms of that element are
present• Examples– CO2
– H20
– C6H12O6
Coefficients• A number that is placed in front of a chemical
symbol or formula• Tells how many molecules of that substance
are present• Keeps reaction balanced• Example 2H2 + O2 2H2O
Law of Conservation of Mass• Mass is neither created nor destroyed in
ordinary chemical and physical changes• Must start and end with the same amount• Example
Log + Fire Ashes + Smoke 30 kg 1 kg 28 kg 3 kg
Decomposition Reaction• A reaction in which a single compound
breaks down to form two or more simpler substances
• Example H2CO3 H2O + CO2
Replacement Reaction• A reaction in which one element takes the
place of another element in a compound• Example Zn + 2HCl ZnCl2 + H2
Synthesis Reaction• A reaction in which two or more substances
combine to form a new compound• Example 2Na + Cl2 2NaCl
Solution• A homogeneous mixture of 2 or more
substances evenly dispersed throughout a single phase
• Looks like one thing• Usually when 1 substance is dissolved in
another, but not always– Examples: Lemonade, Air, Bronze, Gatorade
Solubility• Ability of 1 substance to dissolve in another• To dissolve more quickly: Crush it, Stir it,
Heat it• Solute – the substance that is dissolved• Solvent – what substance is being dissolved
in– Example: Sugar dissolves in water
Suspensions• A mixture in which particles of a material are
more or less evenly dispersed throughout a liquid or gas
• When you shake it, it looks like one thing, but if you leave it setting, particles will settle to bottom– Example: Snow Globe
Colloids• Mixture consisting of tiny particles that are
intermediate in size between those in solutions and those in suspensions
• Particles aren’t so small that they completely dissolve like solutions, but aren’t so big they settle– These particles can scatter light– Example: Milk, Mayo, Deodorant
Homogeneous Mixture• Looks like or appears to be only 1 substance• Example– Gatorade– Lemonade
Heterogeneous Mixture• Looks like or appears to be more than 1
substance
Pure Substance• Sample of matter, either a single element or
a single compound, that has a definite chemical & physical properties
• Made of only 1 type of particle– Elements or Compounds
• Elements – made of atoms• Compounds – made of molecules
Element• A substance that can’t be separated or
broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
• Pure substance• Can’t be broken down at all• Made of one type of atom• Found listed on Periodic Table
Compound• Substance made up of atoms of 2 or more different
elements chemically combined with specific mass ratio
• Can only be separated by chemical changes• Made only of molecules– H20: Water– NaCl: Salt– C6H12O6: Sugar
– Fe2O3: Rust
• Properties of compound are completely different from the properties of elements that formed it
Mixture• Combination of 2 or more substances that are
not chemically combined• 2 or more things physically in the same place– Examples: Salad, Cereal, Pizza, Omelette
Change of State• Change of a substance from one physical
form to another• Requires adding or removing energy so that
particles can speed up or slow down
Endothermic• Energy is absorbed by a substance or
substances
Exothermic• Energy is released from a substance or
substances
Melting• Change of state when a solid becomes a
liquid• Particles must speed up• Add energy/heat• Endothermic
Melting Point• Temperature at which a substance melts• Water: 32°F or 0°C
Freezing• Change of state from a liquid to a solid• Particles must slow down• Remove energy/heat• Exothermic
Freezing Point• Temperature at which a substance freezes• Water: 32°F or 0°C
Evaporation• Change of a substance from a liquid to a gas
(only on surface)• Particles (on surface) must speed up• Add energy/heat• Endothermic
Boiling• Change of a liquid to a gas (throughout an
entire liquid)• Particles (on bottom of liquid) must speed up• Add energy/heat• Endothermic**Won’t happen unless air pressure equals
pressure in bubbles
Boiling Point• Temperature at which a substance boils• Water: 212°F or 100°C• At Sea Level: boiling depends on air pressure
Condensation• Change of state from a gas to a liquid• Particles must slow down• Remove energy/heat• Exothermic
Sublimation• Change of state from a solid to a gas– Example: Dry Ice
Signs of a Chemical Change• Change in color• Change in temperature• Fizzing/Foaming• Sound or light being given off• New smell• New taste• Precipitate – when two liquids are mixed together
and form a solid
Mass• A measure of the amount of matter in an object• Mass of an object is the same no matter where it
is located• Only way to change is to add or take away matter• Unit/Tool:– Grams (g)– Balance
Weight• A measure of the gravitational force exerted on
an object• Changes when the force of gravity changes– Differs on Earth & Mars
• Unit/Tool:– Newtons (N)– Spring Scale
Matter• Anything that has mass and takes up space• Made up of tiny particles called atoms– Atoms: smallest particle of matter
Physical Properties• Can be observed or measured without changing
the matter’s identity• Adjective – descriptive word• Examples– Color– Smell– Size/Shape– Texture/Taste– Temperature– Density– State (Solid, Liquid, Gas)
Chemical Properties• Substance ability to participate in chemical
reactions• Hard to observe• In order to see these you must change the
substance into a new substance• Examples– Flammability– Reactivity
Characteristic Properties• Chemical or physical property that is always the
same no matter what size the sample is• Can be physical or chemical• Most useful type of property• Examples– Density– Flammability– Reactivity– Boiling Point, Melting Point, Freezing Point– Color– Smell
