Study Guide for Test March 31st

                                            Chapter 2 Test Study Guide
Properties of Matter

To study for this test please use your notes on the Properties of Matter and Exothermic/Endothermic Reactions vs. Changes.  Also use labs on Physical Properties, Chemical Properties, Chemical Changes, Endothermic and Exothermic reactions.  Also study Density notes and assignments.

Vocabulary to Know:

Energy   Matter    Properties of Matter     Physical Properties
Chemical Properties    Compound    Mixture      Physical Change        Chemical Change     
Law Of Conservation of Matter        Thermal Energy
Temperature       Endothermic Reaction      Exothermic Reaction
Indicators of a Chemical Change         Precipitate
Density     Mass     Volume

Concepts to Know:

1.    Everything is either energy or matter.
2.    Properties of matter are characteristics of a substance that help to identify that substance.  Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed and measured without breaking bonds or changing the substance chemically.  
Examples:  Color, shape, density, boiling point
Chemical properties can only be observed when a substance is changed chemically.
Examples: Reactivity with other chemicals, flammability
3.    Density is a physical property of matter.  Density is calculated by measuring
 the mass of an object and it’s volume and dividing mass by volume.  Density is the amount of mass in a given volume  Density = mass ÷ volume.  Denser objects have more atoms or molecules in the same amount of volume as a less dense object.  Water has a density of 1.0 g/ml or g/cm3.  Objects that are more dense than water sink.  Objects that are less dense than water float.
4.    Volume is the amount of space something takes up.  To calculate volume of a “regular” solid you multiply length x width x height.  To calculate the volume of an irregular solid you use the water displacement method. 
5.    Compound – Two or more DIFFERENT types of atoms chemically bonded.  Examples: H2O, CO2, C6H12O11
6.    A mixture is two or more things combined together that have not been chemically bonded.
7.    A physical change is a change in a substance that does not alter a substance chemically.  It’s still the same substance.
8.    A chemical change is a change where bonds are broken and new substances are formed.  Example: Burning wood, reacting Sulfuric Acid and Sugar.
9.    Law of Conservation of Matter says that whatever matter goes into a chemical reaction has to come out.
10.                  Thermal Energy is the measure of the amount of movement of molecules in a substance.  The more movement, the more thermal energy, the higher the temperature.  Temperature is a measure of the thermal energy of an object.  We measure thermal energy (temperature) with a thermometer.
11.                  Know the indicators of a chemical change and that a precipitate is a solid formed from a chemical reaction between two or more substances.
12.                  1ml = 1cm3


Waves

1.    Know that waves transfer energy and not matter. 
2.    Know the two main wave shapes are transverse and longitudinal and that these shapes are formed by the direction of the energy.
3.    Mechanical waves like sound and water need a medium to travel through.
4.    Electromagnetic waves like light and radiation do not need a medium.
