WHMIS stands for...
Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System
Describe the difference between Solute, Solvent and Solution.
Solution: Dissolving one substance into another
Solute:Substance that gets dissolved
Solvent: Substance that does the dissolving.
The unit for density of a solid is...
g/cm3
Describe the purpose of a valve.
Device to control or regulate the amount of flow.
Anything that has no fixed shape and can flow.
Fluid
The shape/color of a hazard symbol tells you...
How Dangerous something is
describe the difference between Homogenous and Heterogenous.
Homogeneous: Looks as if it is all ONE substance
Heterogenous: Can see all the different substances that make it up
Explain the relationship between Viscosity and Temperature.
Increasing Temperature = Decreasing Viscosity.
Decreasing Temperature = Increasing Viscosity.
How does "the bends" occur in a diver?
What is the role of the surfactant in laundry detergent?
particles that attach themselves to dirt and oil particles, separating them from the fabric they were on.
Describe one way fluids are useful.
Transport, Process and Different materials.
What are the two factors that affect solubility?
1. A given amount of Solvent
2. A given temperature
Explain the relationship between Density and Temperature.
Lower Temperature = More Dense
Why are Surfactants important in laundry detergent?
particles that attach themselves to dirt and oil particles, separating them from the fabric they were on.
What is an aqueous solution?
A solution is aqueous if it contains water.
What is a pipeline pig?
A device sent through the inside of a pipeline to clean without stopping the flow of the fluid.
What are the four key points of the particle model of matter?
Why are gases more compressible than liquids?
Particles of gases are further apart than the particles of liquids.
How does a submarine submerge and then ascend into the water?
1. Floating on Surface: Ballast tanks are full of air, density is less than water.
2. Diving: Ballast tanks release the compressed air, and fill with water. Making submarine more dense than the water.
3. Re-surfacing: Ballast tanks release water, intake air into tank and become less dense than the water, allowing it to resurface.
Cannot be separated into different substances.
