characteristic of a material that you can observe without changing the substance characteristic of a substance that indicates whether it can undergo a certain chemical change a change in a size, shape or state of matter, substance DOES NOT change identity when it undergoes physical change a change in one substance to another substance The mass of _______ substances present before a chemical change equals mass of ______ substances after the change anything that has mass and takes up space explains how particles in matter behave all matter is composed of particles particles are in constant, random motion particles collide with each other and walls of their container The state of a sample of matter depends on _________________. related to the average kinetic energy of an objects atoms or molecules increase in the size of substance when the temperature increases and contracts with cooled. __________________________________________________________ change from a solid to a liquid state temperature at which a solid melts change from a liquid state to a solid state temperature at which a liquid freezes change from a liquid state to a gaseous state temperature at which a liquid begins to vaporize can occur at surface of liquid without heating liquid (i.e. eventually a cup of water will evaporate if left unattended) change from a gaseous state to a liquid state temperature at which a gas condenses anything that flows – gas or liquid the ability of a fluid (liquid or gas) to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it – this is called the buoyant force on an object in a fluid is equal to the weight of fluid it displaced by the object The boat displaces enough water to equal weight of boat, therefore it floats. pressure applied to a fluid is transmitted unchanged throughout the fluid Example: Squeezing the end of a tube of toothpaste as the velocity of a fluid , the pressure exerted by the fluid Example: the design of an airplane wing as the volume of gas , the pressure of a gas provided the temperature does not change Example: weather balloon , as temperature , the volume, provided pressure exerted by the fluid Example: hot air balloon as temperature increases, the pressure increases, provided the volume does not change Example: popping popcorn Principle/Laws Explanation The pressure put on fluid stays the same through-out the fluid. When the volume of air in syringe decreased, more pressure was exerted on marshmallow. Since pressure stayed the same the gas expanded out of the can as temperature increased. Drawing the ability of a fluid (liquid or gas) to exert an upward force on an object immersed in it – this is called homogeneous mixture of particles so small that they cannot even be seen with a microscope and will never settle to the bottom of their container Examples: vinegar, soda (unopened), and Hydrogen peroxide type of mixture with particles that are larger than those in solution but still too light to settle out Examples: Milk (water & fat), Fog (water & air), cool whip **Detecting colloids is sometimes difficult so shinning a beam of light at colloid will make the light scatter – this scattering light by colloid is called the Tyndall Effect heterogeneous mixture containing in which visible particles settle Examples: Italian dressing, muddy pond water, chocolate milk **Hint: If it needs shaking to mix, then it’s a suspension fixed composition materials are mixed unevenly varied composition materials are mixed evenly has mass and takes up space substance made up of atoms with same identity Examples: gold, helium, aluminum atoms of two or more elements combined Examples: water (H2O), carbon dioxide (CO2) type of matter with a fixed composition that cannot be separated by physical means mixture in which different materials can be easily distinguished Examples: Pizza, Fruit salad, granite material made up of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means mixture in which two or more substances are uniformly spread out Examples: vinegar, salt water
