Chapter 3 Study Guide


Chapter 3 Study Guide
Chemistry – Properties of Matter
Solids, Liquids, and Gases

Study all Labs, Homework Sheets, Handouts, Graphic Organizers, and Notes.  You may also refer to Chapter 3 in your book.

Know definitions for the following terms:

Supercooled water       Amorphous solid      Crystalline Solid    Solid
Fluid                            Gas                            Liquid                   Surface Tension        Temperature               Thermal Energy        Viscosity                Evaporation
Vaporization                Boiling


Know the definitions, molecular movement, and processes involved for each of the following:  (Example:  Melting – Solid to Liquid – Increase in Molecular Motion)

Melting                 Evaporation         Sublimation            Freezing
Condensation       Resublimation

Know that TEMPERATURE and PRESSURE are two factors that can affect the phase of matter.

Be able to explain the Gas Laws and give examples of each (Charles’s Law, Boyle’s Law, and Temperature/Pressure)
Know the effects of changing temperature, pressure, and volume of a gas.

Know that water freezes at 0 degrees C and boils at 100 degrees C.

Know your labs – why we did the labs and what they showed. Labs to know:  Freezing point lab, Marshmallow Madness Lab, Endothermic and Exothermic Lab, and all gas demos.

FROM CHAPTER 2 KNOW THE FOLLOWING:

Be able to define, describe, and identify chemical changes, physical changes, endothermic reactions and changes, and exothermic reactions and changes.
Know that electricity can be used to break molecules apart.  This is called electrolysis.  We used electrolysis to break bonds in water.  We saw gas bubbles produced and acids and bases produced.  That was the evidence that new substances had been formed – a chemical change.
