Mrs. Garth's Chemistry Chapter 2
Physical Properties
A characteristic of a pure substance that can be observed without changing it into another substance.
What must occur in a substance in order to determine a chemical property?
A chemical property can be determined only when a change in the substance occurs in the presence of another substance or when sufficient energy of some form is added to it.
Heterogeneous Mixtures
A mixture in which different materials can be distinguished easily
What is a physical change? Give three examples of physical changes.
A physical change results only in a rearrangement of the particles of matter, not in their composition. Examples include crushing, dissolving, hammering into a thin sheet, or changing state.
Differentiate between physical and chemical properties of matter. Give two examples of each property.
A physical property of matter can be determined or observed without altering the chemical composition of the matter. Examples include color, hardness, electrical conductivity and malleability. A chemical property can be determined only through a change to the material that permanently alters its composition. Examples include combustion in the presence of oxygen and decomposition in the presence of an electrical current.
Endothermic Reaction
A reaction that ABSORBS energy in the form of heat
Exothermic Reaction
A reaction that releases energy in the form of heat
Liquid
A state of matter that has no definite shape but has a definite volume., assumes shape of container, packed close together, difficult to compress
Gas
A state of matter with no definite shape or volume, restricted only by its container as far as shape and volume; particles are easy to compress
_____________cannot be reached at a given location because there cannot be a colder place where thermal energy can flow to in order to cool the location.
Absolute Zero
Where did Matter come from?
All matter was created during the events of Creation Week when it was spoken into existence by God.
Compare and contrast gases and plasma.
Both gases and plasmas consist of energetic particles that are so far apart that attractive forces between particles are inconsequential. They are both highly compressible, have no definite volume, and can diffuse to occupy a volume of space. In contrast, gases consist of intact atoms or molecules, while the particle in plasmas are mostly ions and free electrons. The temperature of plasmas are usually several orders of magnitude higher than that of gases.
A Kelvin degree is the same size unit as a _____________ degree
Celsius
Chemical Properties
Characteristic that cannot be observed without altering the substance
A ___________ property of a substance cannot be determined without causing a or attempting to cause a chemical change to occur in the substance.
Chemical
Name the change of state that are described by the following process: Water mist collects on the bathroom mirror after a shower.
Condensation
Explain the difference between heterogeneous and homogeneous mixtures.
Heterogeneous mixtures consist of two or more materials segregated into distinct pieces, regions, or phases (e.g. granite). A homogeneous mixture is a physical combination of two or more pure substances where the individual particles of the substances are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture (e.g. salt water).
Thermal energy always flows from a ______ temperature to a _________ one
Higher.........Lower
A solution, such as filtered air, is a _________ mixture.
Homogeneous

Sublimation
How do Pure Substances differ from mixtures?
The particles in pure substances consist of all one kind of atom (a single element) or those that make up only one compound. Pure substances differ from mixtures in that mixtures are combinations of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
Why are solids and liquids relatively incompressible?
The particles in solids and liquids are so close together that they cannot be squeezed any closer. The structure of atoms prevents two atoms from occupying the same space at the same time.
Joule
The scientific unit for energy and work
Why is Creation ex nihilo religious belief and not a scientific fact?
The special creation of the universe and everything in it was not and is not observable by humans, and is therefore outside the realm of observational science. To accept the declarations of Scripture must be done in faith, which is one of the foundations of Christianity.
Explain the difference between temperature and thermal energy.
The thermal energy contained in a system is the total kinetic energy of the particles in the system. Temperature is a property that is proportional to the average kinetic energy of the system's particles. Thermal energy is related to the quantity of matter present; temperature is not.
When you grasp a hot cup of cocoa with cold hands, which way does the heat transfer occur? Explain
The thermal energy flows from the hot cup into the cold hands until they are the same temperature. Heat transfers always occur from higher temperature to lower temperatures according to the second law of thermodynamics.
What are the two main classes of matter and what characteristics differentiate them?
The two main classes of matter are pure substances and mixtures. A pure substance consists of only one kid of matter that is chemically combined (an element or a compound). A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances.
Molecules consisting of __________ elements are the smallest identifiable particles of noncrystalline compounds
Two or more

A toaster converts ___________ energy to ____________ energy
Electromagnetic to Thermal
In order to be useful, _______ must often be converted from one form to another.
Energy
Is energy something a system does or something it has?
Energy is something a system has. The energy of a system consists of the motion of a system's particles as well as the motion of the system as a whole. If the system transfers its energy to something else, it does work.
Burning a candle is an _____________ reaction
Exothermic
Liquids flow only when a _________ acts on them.
Force
Name the change of state that are described by the following process: pond water solidifies on a cold winter day.
Freezing
Since heat transfers only take place between systems with different temperatures, explain why the third law of thermodynamics is support by our current understanding of matter.
In order to cool a point to absolute zero, the thermal energy in the particles at that point would have to flow to a colder spot, which is impossible, since there is no point colder than absolute zero by definition.
What does the first law of Thermodynamics imply for the origins of matter and energy?
It implies that, barring miracles, there must have been a beginning of creation to account for both the energy and matter in the universe.

Joule
Mechanical Energy can be divided into two different types of Energy.....
Kinetic and Potential
How is shot peening an example of using technology to exercise dominion and to love your neighbor as yourself?
Loss of life and expense as well as exploitation of the natural resource God has given us can all be avoided with a process like shot or laser peening.
What condition distinguishes plasmas from more "normal" states of matter?
Plasmas occur only at extremely high temperatures (defined by the energy of the individual particles).
Second law of thermodynamics.
Says that the entropy (disorder) of the universe is increasing. Every energy transfer or transformation increases the entropy of the universe.
One of the difficulties with the big bang origin of the universe is that many evidence predicted by the theory are not ________ in the universe today or are contradict by other evidence.
Seen
Conductivity
The ability of a material to transfer heat or electricity between its particles
Density
The amount of matter packed into a given volume. Mass / Volume
What invention spurred the development of thermodynamics?
The area developed as a result of the invention of the steam engine.
Compare the entropy of a firecracker before it is lighted to its entropy after it explodes. Explain the difference.
The firecracker's entropy after it has burst is greater than before it is lighted. The firecracker has less usable energy and its parts are more disorganized (less ordered) after it explodes.
Why is the joule the preferred unit of energy in scientific studies? What part of the definition of the calorie could make it more convenient for use in non-scientific studies?
The joule is the SI unit for any form of energy, which is derived from fundamental SI units. The joule is not restricted to a particular kind of energy. The calorie is defined as the heat transfer required to change the temperature of 1 g of water 1 ° C. These are easily measured units for many kinds of work.
Why do some chemical symbols for elements consist of two letters and other of only one?
There are more elements than letters of the alphabet, so some symbols must use two letters to prevent confusion between elements. Because some elements begin with the same letter, a second letter is added to discriminate between them.
When an object cools, it losses _________________energy
Thermal
What specifically does thermodynamics investigate?
Thermodynamics is the study of the movement and conversion of energy. (especially thermal energy)
