  • What is chemistry?

    Chemistry is the study of the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter.

  • Define matter.

    Matter is all substances that make up our world, including solids, liquids, and gases.

  • What are chemicals?

    Chemicals are substances with the same composition and properties wherever found, often made by chemists and used daily.

  • What is the scientific method?

    A set of principles involving observation, hypothesis, experimentation, and conclusion to understand natural phenomena.

  • List the steps of the scientific method.

    1. Make observations
    2. Propose a hypothesis
    3. Perform experiments
    4. Make a conclusion
  • How is a hypothesis tested?

    By performing experiments to find relationships between the hypothesis and observations.

  • What is an observation in the scientific method?

    A fact or occurrence noticed during an experiment or in nature.

  • What is a conclusion in the scientific method?

    A judgment about the hypothesis based on experimental results.

  • Effective study strategies for chemistry include?

    • Connecting new info to prior knowledge
    • Self-testing
    • Studying regularly
    • Mixing topics
  • What is place value in numbers?

    The value of a digit depending on its position in a number (e.g., tens, ones, tenths).

  • How to identify place value for digit 5 in 15.24 g?

    Digit 5 is in the ones place.

  • Rules for multiplying positive and negative numbers?

    • Positive × Positive = Positive
    • Negative × Negative = Positive
    • Positive × Negative = Negative
  • How to calculate percentage of a component in a mixture?

    Divide the mass of the component by total mass, then multiply by 100%.

  • Example: Calculate percentage of lead in bullet with 13.9 g lead, total 15.1 g.

    (13.9 g / 15.1 g) × 100% = 92% lead.

  • How to solve for \(V_2\) in \(P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\)?

    Divide both sides by \(P_2\): \(V_2 = \frac{P_1V_1}{P_2}\)

  • What does a graph with volume vs. temperature show?

    It shows the relationship between gas volume and temperature, often a direct relationship.

  • How to write 3500 in scientific notation?

    Move decimal 3 places left: 3.5 × 10\(^3\)

  • How to write 0.000016 in scientific notation?

    Move decimal 5 places right: 1.6 × 10\(^{-5}\)

  • What is the coefficient in scientific notation?

    The number between 1 and 10 multiplied by a power of 10.
