Matter and Measuring
Matter can be found in what 3 forms?
solid, liquid, gas
A measure of the pull of gravity on an object
Weight
A physical combination of two or more substances
Mixture
A special type of mixture which looks and behaves like a single substance
Solution
Anything that takes up space
Matter
A single kind of matter that is pure and has a specific set of properties
Substance
A mixture in which substances are evenly mixed/distributed throughout the mixture.
Homogenous Mixture
A substance that can be dissolve in a solvent
Soluble
A measure of how much matter is in an object
Mass
A characteristic of matter that can be observed or measured without changing the type of matter.
Physical Property
A mixture in which substances are not evenly mixed/distributed
Heterogenous Mixture
A substance that cannot be dissolved in a solvent.
Insoluble
The amount of space an object takes up
Volume
A characteristic that describes a substance's ability to undergo a chemical change or reaction to form new substances.
Chemical Property
The substance that dissolves
Solvent
Increasing the temperature of a solution does what?
Increases the kinetic energy of the solvent molecules, causing the solute to dissolve more quickly
The measure of how compact matter is or how much mass is contained in a certain volume of space
Density
The formula for calculating Volume
length x width x height
The substance that is dissolved
Solute
Decreasing the temperature of a solution does what?
Slows down dissolving because molecules move more slowly
