Front

What is matter?

Back

Anything that occupies space and possesses mass.

Front

How do you find the volume of an irregularly shaped object using a graduated cylinder?

Back

By measuring the change in water level when the object is submerged.

Front

What is a chemical property?

Back

A characteristic of a substance that can only be observed during a chemical reaction, such as reactivity or flammability.

Front

What is density?

Back

Density is the mass of a substance divided by its volume (Density = Mass/Volume).

Front

How do you calculate the density of an object?

Back

Density = Mass / Volume.

Front

What is the formula for calculating volume using water displacement?

Back

Volume of object = Final volume - Initial volume.

Front

What are physical properties?

Back

Characteristics of a substance that can be observed without changing its chemical composition, such as color, size, and state.

Front

What is an example of a chemical property?

Back

Flammability, reactivity, and acidity.

Front

What happens to the water level in a graduated cylinder when an object is submerged?

Back

The water level rises by an amount equal to the volume of the object.

Front

What is the difference between a pure substance and a mixture?

Back

A pure substance has a uniform and definite composition, while a mixture contains two or more substances that retain their individual properties.
