measure of the amount of matter in an object/sample

New cards
2

2 temperature scales used

Celsius and Kelvin scale

New cards
3

Celsius scale formula

C = (*F - 32*F) x 5*C/9*F

New cards
4

Kelvin scale formula

K = *C + 273

New cards
5

volume formula

V = m3 or V = m/d

New cards
6

density formula

d = m/V

New cards
7

physical property

can be observed and measured without changing the identity of a substance

New cards
8

physical change

state of matter changes by identity doesn’t

New cards
9

chemical property

must carry out a chemical change; original substance will no longer exist, identity changes

New cards
10

extensive property

depends on the amount of matter (x)

New cards
11

intensive property

independent of the amount of matter (in)

New cards
12

2 types of numbers

New cards
13

exact numbers

defined values

New cards
14

New cards
17

addition and subtraction rules

answer can’t have more digits to the right of the decimal point than the original number with the smallest amount

New cards
18

multiplying and dividing rules

number of sig figs is the original number with the smallest amount

New cards
19
