Study Notes
Mass, Volume, and Density
-
Mass: The quantity of matter in an object, typically measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
-
Instrument for Mass Measurement: Balance is used to accurately determine mass.
-
Volume: The space that an object occupies, measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) and milliliters (mL).
-
Instruments for Volume Measurement: Volume can be measured using a ruler for regular shapes and a graduated cylinder for liquids.
-
Density: Defined as the mass per unit volume, indicating how much mass is contained in a specific volume (g/cm³).
-
Density Calculation: Density is calculated using the formula: mass divided by volume (density = mass/volume).
-
Units for Density: Commonly expressed in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Properties and Changes
- Physical Change: A process where the substance alters in shape, color, or amount without changing its identity.
- Chemical Change: Involves a transformation resulting in one or more new substances with distinct properties.
Observations
- Qualitative Observation: Descriptive observations based on physical attributes like shape, color, and appearance.
- Quantitative Observation: Observations that quantify data using numbers, providing measurable information.
- Inference: A logical conclusion derived from observations, providing explanations for phenomena.
Characteristic Properties
- Characteristic Property: A specific trait that can be utilized to identify and classify a substance distinctly.
