Measuring Matter
This unit is used to measure mass in grams
What is g?
Objects with this characteristic will float in water.
What is less dense than water?
This state of matter is most easily compressed.
What is gas?
This theory explains how particles behave in different states of matter.
What is the Particle Theory of Matter?
The process of a liquid turning into a gas.
What is evaporation?
1000 milliliters equal this many liters.
What is 1 liter?
The formula for density is mass divided by this.
What is volume?
The ability of a substance to be squeezed into a smaller volume.
What is compressibility?
In this state, particles move freely and take the shape of their container.
What is a gas?
This change of state occurs when a gas turns into a liquid.
What is condensation?
This tool is used to measure the mass of solids and liquids.
What is a balance scale?
This state of matter usually has the lowest density.
What is gas?
This liquid is very difficult to compress.
What is water?
Particles in this state can slide past each other but stay close together.
What is a liquid?
The temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas.
What is the boiling point?
The abbreviation for the international system of units.
What is SI?
Two objects with the same volume but different masses will have this property different.
What is density?
Compressed gas is stored in these to maintain pressure.
What are strong containers?
A scientific model used to explain how matter behaves.
What is the Particle Theory of Matter?
This process occurs when a solid turns directly into a gas.
What is sublimation?
This many grams equal 1 kilogram.
What is 1000 grams?
A substance that is less dense than water will do this.
What is float?
When compressed gas is released, its particles do this.
What is expand?
In this state, particles vibrate in place.
What is a solid?
The amount of heat needed to change a substance from a liquid to a gas without changing its temperature.
What is heat of vaporization?
