[DOST] CHEMISTRY

Cards (55)

  • chemistry: study of matter, its composition, properties, changes it undergoes, and the energy involved in those changes
  • accuracy: how closely are individual measurement agree with the correct, or "true" value
  • precision: measure how closely individual measurements agree with each other
  • HIGH PRECISION, LOW ACCURACY: A student conducted an experiment with 6 trials. The experimental values that were obtained were 2.59, 3.01, 3.05, 3.44, 2.67, and 3.12. If the theoretical value is 8.00, this describes the values accumulated by the student.
  • Kilo, Hecto, Deca, (UNIT), Deci, Centi, Milli
  • DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS: (starting amount x)(equal amount y/x) = converted
  • celsius to farenheit: F=(9/5)C + 32
  • farenheit to celsius: (5/9)(F-32)
  • celsius to kelvin: C + 237
  • kelvin to celsius: K-273
  • -40 degrees: The level that Fahrenheit and Celsius will give the same reading.
  • 0.1L : amount of liters in a 100cm^3 cylindrical shell
  • LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS
    • the total mass of the products of a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass of the reactants entering into the reaction
    • total mass of products = total mass of reactants
    • mass input = mass output
  • LAW OF CONSTANT COMPOSITION
    • all samples of a compound have the same composition or proportion
    • also known as Law of Definite Proportions
  • LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS
    • If two elements A and B combine to form more than once compound, the masses of B that can combine with the given mass of A are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
  • CO and CO2
    • When broken down, the respective masses of the elements stay in the same ratio.
    • The ratio of the masses is small whole numbers.
  • MATTER AND ITS PROPERTIES
    A) MATTER
    B) MIXTURE
    C) PURE SUBSTANCE
    D) HOMOGENOUS
    E) HETEROGENEOUS
    F) COLLOIDS
    G) SUSPENSIONS
    H) COMPOUND
    I) ELEMENT
  • PHYSICAL PROPERTIES: color, odor, hardness, density, boiling point, melting point
  • CHEMICAL PROPERTIES: the way a substance may change or react to form another substance
  • INTENSIVE: do not depend on the amount of sample being examined (ex. color, boiling point, pressure, molecular weight, and density)
  • EXTENSIVE: depend on the amount of sample (mass and volume)
  • PHASE CHANGES OF MATTER
    A) liquid
    B) solidification
    C) melting
    D) sublimation
    E) deposition
    F) vaporization
    G) condensation
  • condensation: kind of phase change occurs when a water vapor from plants turns into dew drop
  • PHYSICAL SEPARATION
    • filtration - uses membrane considering the particle size
    • distillation - employs the ability of substance to form gases
  • solution: uniform dispersion of substances
  • solute: dissolved in solvent
  • molarity: moles per liter of solution
    • M = moles solute/liters solution
  • molality: moles per kilogram of solvent
    • m = moles of solute/ kg solvent
  • normality: number of equivalent solute per solution
    • N = equivalents of solute/liters per solution
  • % by mass : mass of component of a solution per total of mass solution
    • %w/w: mass of component of a solution/total mass of solution
  • % by volume: volume of a component of a solution per total volume of solution
    • %v/v: volume of component of a solution/total volume of solution
  • FACTORS AFFECTING SOLUBILITY
    • pressure: solubility of gases
    • temperature: solubility increases as the temperature increases
