Q & A
What is the main difference between pure substances and impure substances?
-Pure substances consist of a single type of particle with identical properties, such as an iron sheet or sodium chloride. Impure substances, on the other hand, contain different types of particles with different properties, like a salt solution or a salad.
Why are elements and compounds considered pure substances?
-Elements and compounds are considered pure substances because they are composed of the same type of particles. For example, iron, gold, and sodium chloride are all made up of one type of particle, which gives them uniform properties throughout.
What are some examples of mixtures that are considered impure substances?
-Examples of mixtures that are impure substances include air, seawater, salt solutions, suspensions, colloids, and alloys like steel. These mixtures contain different types of particles with varying properties.
How can you remember the physical properties of metals using a mnemonic?
-A mnemonic for remembering the physical properties of metals is 'moving vent should come late', where 'm' stands for mass, 'v' for volume, 's' for shape, 'c' for color, 'l' for length, and 'e' for other physical changes like melting point and boiling point.
What are base physical quantities and which seven quantities are considered as such?
-Base physical quantities are the fundamental quantities from which other physical quantities are derived. The seven base physical quantities are length, mass, time, temperature, amount of substance, light intensity, and electric current.
What is the International System of Units (SI) and how can you remember the seven base units?
-The International System of Units (SI) is a globally recognized system of measurement established in 1960 for seven base physical quantities. To remember the base units, you can use the mnemonic 'lisa, mem turns to a left age' where 'l' stands for length (meter), 'm' for mass (kilogram), 't' for time (second), 'a' for temperature (kelvin), 's' for amount of substance (mole), 'l' for light intensity (candela), and 'e' for electric current (ampere).
What is the difference between mass and weight?
-Mass is the amount of matter present in an object and remains constant regardless of location, while weight is the force exerted on an object by gravity. The SI unit for mass is the kilogram (kg), and for weight, it is the newton (N).
How can you remember the prefixes used to indicate multiples or fractions in units?
-To remember the prefixes, you can use the mnemonic 'dead has keeped my great trach' for the positive prefixes where 'deca' (da) is 10^1, 'hecto' (h) is 10^2, 'kilo' (k) is 10^3, 'mega' (m) is 10^6, and 'tera' (t) is 10^12. For the negative prefixes, use 'the trach that can make me nice person' where 'desi' (d) is 10^-1, 'centi' (c) is 10^-2, 'milli' (m) is 10^-3, 'micro' (ΞΌ) is 10^-6, 'nano' (n) is 10^-9, and 'pico' (p) is 10^-12.
What is scientific notation and why is it used?
-Scientific notation is a way of writing very large or very small numbers by expressing them as a product of a number between 1 and 10 and a power of 10. It is used to save space and time when writing numbers that have many digits, making them more manageable and easier to read.
How can you determine significant figures in a number?
-To determine significant figures, start with the first non-zero digit from the left and count all subsequent digits, including zeros if they are between non-zero digits or to the right of a decimal point in the case of decimal numbers. All these digits are considered significant.
What is the difference between accuracy and precision in measurements?
-Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the actual value, while precision indicates how close multiple measurements are to each other. A measurement can be precise but not accurate if the measurements are consistently wrong but close to each other. Conversely, a measurement can be accurate but not precise if it is correct but varies significantly between multiple measurements.
What are the five laws of chemical combination and what do they describe?
-The five laws of chemical combination describe the basic rules of how atoms and molecules combine. They include the Law of Conservation of Mass (mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction), the Law of Definite Proportion (chemical substances have elements in a fixed mass ratio), the Law of Multiple Proportion (the ratio of masses in different compounds can be expressed as whole numbers), Gay-Lussac's Law (pressure is directly proportional to temperature), and Avogadro's Law (volume is directly proportional to the number of moles or mass of a gas at constant temperature and pressure).
What is the concept of mole and Avogadro's number in chemistry?
-A mole is a unit that represents the molar mass of an atom, molecule, or formula unit, which contains Avogadro's number of particles, approximately 6.023 x 10^23. Avogadro's number is the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12, and it is used to relate the amount of substance to its mass and volume in chemistry.
How are molarity and molality different from each other?
-Molarity is the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution and does not consider the solvent's volume. Molality, on the other hand, is the number of moles of solute dissolved in 1 kg of solvent and takes into account the mass of the solvent.
