a chemistry student is studying the formation of quartz crystals. she is studying _______________ chemistry

inorganic

what happens to the energy in a substance when it changes state

it changes form, but is neither destroyed nor increased

explain why it is incorrect to assume that all chemicals are potentially dangerous or hazardous. give two examples of chemicals that are necessary for human life.

it is incorrect to assume to assume that all chemicals are dangerous because they can help better our life. oxygen, water, and sugar are necessary for human life.

a sample of matter can be poured from container to container. It takes the shape of its container but only takes up a certain volume. Based on this information, the sample is in the ____________________ state.

liquid

a state of matter in which a material has no definite shape but has a definite volume is the ____ state.

liquid

technological development often occurs

long after the basis research is complete

a measure of the quantity of matter is

mass

distinguish between mass and weight

mass is a measure of the amount of matter while weight is as the force of gravity increases , the object's mass increases.

a true statement about mass is that

mass is determined by comparing the mass of an object with a set of standard masses that are part of a balance

in one experiment, magnesium metal is melted. in a second experiment, magnesium metal is burned. classify the change in each experiment as chemical or physical. explain your reasoning.

melted is physical because the properties were not changed and the second is a chemical change because it produces a new substance.

which of the following is not a chemical change

melting

inorganic chemistry is the study of

non-carbon related compounds

product

nitrogen monoxide and oxygen, both colorless gases, form a red-brown gas when mixed. nitrogen monoxide and oxygen are called the

reactants

the oxygen in air causes iron to rust. iron and oxygen are ___________ in this process and rust is the product.

reactants
