Intensive properties
Properties that do not depend on the quantity of the sample.
Extensive properties
Properties that do depend on the quantity of the sample.
Density
The ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume. (D=M/V)
Units used to express density of a liquid?
grams per milliliter (g/mL)
Units used to express density of a solid?
grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³)
How do you find Volume if you have the Density & Mass?
Mass / Density = Volume (M/D=V)
How do you find the Mass if you have the Density and Volume?
Volume * Density = Mass (V*D=M)
What is used to measure mass?
Balance or Mass Scale
What is used to measure volume?
Water displacement
Physical Change
A reversible change in the physical state of a substance, but not in it\'s chemical composition (Freezing & Boiling Water)
Chemical Change
An irreversible change in the chemical composition of a substance
Examples of Physical Change
Melting sand into glass, Melting butter
Example of a Chemical Change
Making a Hard-boiled egg
Signs of a chemical change
1. Formation of a precipitate, 2. Color change, 3. Evolution of a gas, 4. Temperature change not caused by an external source
Hydrates
Solid ionic compounds containing weakly bound water molecules in their crystal structures.
Water(s) of hydration
the weakly bound water molecules found in the crystal structures of solid ionic compounds.
Dehydration
removing Water(s) of hydration from a hydrate
Anhydrous
the remaining form of a compound after complete dehydration of its water(s) of hydration.
Formula for calculating percent water in a hydrate sample
Percent Water % = Hydrate / (Hydrate + Anhydrous) convert decimal answer to percentage (move decimal space over 2 times right)
Combination Reactions
A+B > AB
Empirical formula
the simplest molar combining ratio of the elements in a compound.
Decomposition Reaction
AB > A + B
Single Displacement Reaction
A+BC > AC+B
Double Displacement Reaction
AB+CD > AD+CB
