What state of matter has the least amount of energy?
solid

What is a chemical property?
If you have a fish tank that holds 50 liters of water, what term describes the space that the water occupies?

Iron rusts after being exposed to moisture. This is describing a....
Chemical Property
What is the change of state from gas to liquid called?
What is condensation?
Machine oil has a density of 0.9 g/mL. Ethyl alcohol has a density of 0.8 g/mL. If we mix these, which substance will float on top of the other one?
1) Machine oil has greater density (0.9 > 0.8) 2) Therefore, knowing that denser things SINK, the ethyl alcohol will FLOAT on top of the machine oil, because it's density is lower.
What are the 4 main points of the KMT? DOUBLE POINTS!
-everything is made of particles
-particles have space between them / exist in empty space
-the space between changes based on temperature/energy
-particles are always moving
What are the 3 ways to increase the rate of dissolving a solute in a solvent?
1) increase surface are of solute
2) agitate mixture
3) heat it up
What is the temperature at which a solid becomes a liquid?
What is the melting point?
What happens to the density of substance when it is heated up. Why does this happen?
When a substance is heated, its density decreases because the molecules gain energy, move faster, and spread further apart, causing the volume to increase while the mass remains the same.
Why does a metal lid become difficult to open after being in the freezer, but easier to open after running it under hot water?
KMT ; Thermal Expansion
What is the measure of the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance?
Temperature
