Physics Review
This system of measurement includes the gram, meter, and Celsius.
What is the Metric System?
It is made up of protons, neutrons, and electrons?
What is an atom?
It is the average kinetic energy of a substance.
What is temperature?
This type of chemical reaction sees two substances combine to make one product.
What is a synthesis reaction?
These three things are required to ignite and maintain a fire.
What are heat, oxygen gas, and a fuel source?
This physical property is the amount of matter something contains.
What is mass?
It is a horizontal row on the periodic table?
What is a group?
It is the process by which heat is transferred by the movement of a heated fluid.
What is convection?
This type of chemical reaction sees a single element, often a hydrocarbon, combine with oxygen gas to release energy.
What is combustion?
This fourth component completes the fire tetrahedron.
What is a chemical chain reaction?
This state of matter contains tightly packed particles that vibrate but do not move freely around.
What is a solid?
Sodium chloride, a metal bound to a non-metal, is an example of this type of compound.
What is an ionic compound?
It is a type of chemical reaction in which heat is taken in from the surroundings. Hint: The beaker or container will feel 'cold'.
What is an endothermic reaction?
These two compounds are produced during complete combustion.
What are carbon dioxide and water?
Fires involving this type of combustion typically have an orange flame and produce carbon monoxide and/or soot.
It is the measure of how much a given volume of matter decreases when placed under pressure.
What is compressibility?
In a mixture or solution, it is the term for the substance dissolved in the solvent.
What is the solute?
It is the SI unit for the measurement of temperature?
What is Kelvin?
This occurs when oil on a rag reaches its ignition temperature without an external source of energy (i.e. a spark or a pilot flame).
What is spontaneou combustion?
This is the initial stage of a fire where temperatures are low (less than 1000 oF); flames are small and not widespread.
What is the incipient stage?
This substance that is a mixture of two phases at room temperature, namely gaseous and liquid phase.
What is a vapor?
This substance has physical properties that include a high melting point, lustre, and a good conductor.
What is a metal?
It states that energy cannot be created or destroyed (it just changes form). Hint: It's a law.
What is the Law of Conservation of Energy?
This type of reaction takes on the form: AB + C --> BC + A.
What is a single displacment reaction?
This type of fire has all four parts of the tetrahedron, but they are imbalanced so no flame is produced.
What is smouldering?
