chemical change
|
a change that produces matter with a different composition than the original matter
|
|
chemical property
|
the ability of a substance to undergo a specific chemical change
|
|
chemical reaction
|
a change in which one or more reactants change into one or more products; characterized by the breaking of bonds in reactants and the formation of bonds in products
|
|
chemical symbol
|
a one- or two-letter representation of an element
|
|
compound
|
a substance that contains two or more chemicals combined in a fixed proportion
|
|
distillation
|
a process used to separate dissolved solids from a liquid, which is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed into a liquid
|
|
element
|
the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties; an element cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
|
|
extensive property
|
a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample
|
|
filtration
|
a process that separates a solid from the liquid in a heterogenous mixture
|
|
gas
|
a form of matter that takes the shape and volume of its container; a gas has no definite shape or volume
|
|
heterogeneous mixture
|
a mixture that is not uniform in its compostiion; components are not evenly distributed throughout the mixture
|
|
homogeneous mixture
|
a mixture that is uniform in composition; components are evenly distributed and not easily distinguished
|
|
law of conservation of mass
|
in any physical change or chemical reaction, mass is conserved; mass canbe neither created nor destroyed
|
|
liquid
|
a form of matter that flows, has a fixed volume and an indefinite shape
|
|
mass
|
a measure of the amount of matter that an object contains; the SI base unit of mass is the kilogram
|
|
mmixture
|
a physical blend of two or more substance that are not chemically combined
|
|
phase
|
any part of a smaple with uniform composition and properties
|
|
physical change
|
a change during which some properties of a material change, but the composition of the material does not change
|
|
physical property
|
a quality of condition of a substance that can be observed and measured without changing the substance's composition
|
|
precipitate
|
a solid that forms and settles out of a liquid mixture
|
|
product
|
a substance produced in a chemical reaction
|
|
reactant
|
a substance present at the start of a reaction
|
|
solid
|
a form of matter that has a definite shape and volume
|
|
solution
|
a homogeneous mixture; consists of solutes dissolved into a solvent
|
|
substance
|
matter that has a uniform and definite composition; either an element of a compund; also called a pure substance
|
|
vapor
|
describes the gaseous state of a substance that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature
|
|
volume
|
a measure of the space occupied by a sample of matter
