Study Notes

Symbols of Elements

Iron is represented by the symbol Fe.
Mercury corresponds to the symbol Hg.
Gold is denoted by the symbol Au.

States of Matter

Liquids do not have a fixed shape and take the shape of their container.
A solid retains its shape; the state represented in an unspecified image is a solid.

Volume Calculation

Volume of a box (4.0 cm x 8.5 cm x 2.0 cm) is 68 mL.
For a box measuring 2.5 cm x 3.0 cm x 4.0 cm, the volume is 30 mL (0.030 L).
Volume of a box measuring 3.5 cm x 4.0 cm x 8.0 cm is 112 mL (0.112 L).

Scientific Notation and Significant Figures

The number 625,000 in scientific notation is expressed as 6.25 × 10^5.
The product of ( (6.45 × 10^5) × (1.2 × 10^4) ) is 7.7 × 10^9.
The product of ( (8.2 × 10^{-3}) × (2.84 × 10^5) ) results in 2.3 × 10^3.
For ( (6.1 × 10^4) × (3312) ), the scientific notation is 2.0 × 10^8.

Measurement and Calculation

The subtraction ( 28.645 g – 22.105 g ) yields 6.540 g when considering significant figures.
The sum ( 56.234 g + 0.0021 g ) results in 56.236 g.
Adding ( 102.5 mL + 6.55 mL ) gives 109.0 mL.

Temperature Change

When the temperature of water decreases from 22°C to -25°C, the decrease is 47°C, which corresponds to 320 K.

Physical vs. Chemical Properties

Physical properties include boiling points and states at room temperature; examples include:
- Acetone boiling at 56°C.
- Helium being a gas at room temperature.
Chemical properties, such as the rusting of iron, illustrate chemical reactions, differing from changes like the dissolving of sugar which is physical.

Changes in Matter

Dissolving Kool-Aid in water shows a physical change.
Burning magnesium demonstrates a chemical change, while aluminum turning white indicates a surface reaction rather than a change in composition.

Forms of Energy

The text hints at various energy forms, with a query regarding one that is not recognized as energy, indicating a thematic exploration of energy types.
