How do properties, such as Density, help us to classify and identify matter?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kumpel [21]3 years ago
4 0

Density can be defined in terms of the mass of a substance present in a certain volume.

i.e. Density = Mass/ volume

It helps classify and identify matter due to the following reasons:

1) Density is an intensive property. For a given substance the density will remain the same irrespective of the amount in which it is present.

For example: The density of Aluminum (Al) = 2.7 g/cm3. This value is a constant at a certain temperature and pressure. Therefore, the density will remain the same for 1 kilogram or 1 mg of Al

2) Different elements/compounds have different values of densities which is characteristic of that substance

How might the molecules inside an ice pack be different from the liquid inside of an insulated cup?​
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

The molecules inside the ice pack are frozen therefore they are stuck in place. The molecules inside an insulated cup aren't frozen but still stuck inside of their container so that they can not fly out.

Mkey [24]

Answer:

A well tested explanation of a natural phenomenon

Explanation:

A scientific theory is an explanation of a natural phenomenon which has been drawn from a well tested observation.

Theories are products of repeated scientific experiments. When a hypothesis otherwise known as a "scientific guess" survives a lot of scrutiny, we can elevate it to the status of a theory. Most theories starts off from simple observations. These observations can further spark series of experiments in such a field and a scientific guess proposed. Further testing and experimenting would now lead to a theory.

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

Explanation:

Reacting bromide (Br₂) with sodium iodine (NaI) will produce sodium bromide (NaBr) and iodine (I₂).

To balance the equation the number of atoms of each element entering the  reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Br₂ (l) + 2 NaI (s) → 2 NaBr (s) + I₂ (s)

where:

l - liquid

s - solid

This is a single replacement reaction because an element in a compound is replaced by another element. Generally a single replacement reaction is represented as: A + BC → AC + B

How to do dots and cross diagrams
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

Draw circles to represent the electron shell of each atom overlapping the circles where the atoms are bonded. Add dots to represent the outer electrons of one type of atom (H). Add crosses to represent the outer electrons of the other type of atom (Cl). Make sure the electrons are always in pairs.
