matter note cards

Matter: anything that has mass and volume; everything around us

Solid: phase of matter that has definite volume and definite shape; molecules are packed very
close together. They have little room for movement.

Liquid: phase of matter that has a definite volume but not a definite shape; molecules are
packed close together but have room to move.

Gas: phase of matter that does not have a definite volume or shape; molecules are packed very
far apart. They have a lot of room to move


Boyle’s Law: shows the relationship between the volume and the pressure of a contained gas.
States that the volume of a fixed amount of gas varies inversely with the
pressure of the gas.

Charles’s Law: shows the relationship between the temperature and the volume of a
contained gas. States that the volume of a fixed amount of gas varies
directly with the temperature of the gas.

Properties: qualities or characteristics

Physical Properties: characteristics that describe a substance without changing it into
something new or different. Ex. mass, shape, color, density,
texture, size……

Chemical Properties: characteristics that describe how a substance changes into something
new and different. Ex. flammability, rusting/tarnishing, fizzing,
combustability……

Physical Changes: result in a change to a substances physical appearance and not its
chemical composition. Ex. boil, melt, freeze, evaporate, rip/tear,
dissolve ……..

Chemical Changes: result in a change to a substances chemical makeup. New and different
substances are formed. Ex. burn, rust, bleach, explode, rot/corrode …

Pressure: a force pushing on a surface – created from molecules colliding
with each other and the surfaces they are in contact with.

Fluid: a substance whose shape can easily change – liquid or gas

Formula for pressure: P = force/area

Pascal’s Principle: a force is applied to an enclosed fluid, the increase in
pressure is transmitted equally to all parts.

Hydraulic System: multiplies force. When a force is applied to a small area
( piston), the pressure w/in the the enclosed fluid increases and pushes
on a larger area (piston) creating a greater force.

Buoyancy (or Buoyant Force): the force that acts in an upward direction
(against gravity) on anything submerged in a fluid.

Archimedes’s Principle: states that the buoyant force on an object is equal
to the weight of the fluid displaced by the object.

Volume: amount of space an object takes up
Liters: basic unit of measure for liquid volume
Cubic centimeters ( cm3 ) : basic unit of measure for gases and solids.
V = L x W x H : formula to find the volume of regular shaped object
Meniscus: the dip liquid has in a graduated cylinder
Graduated Cylinder: tool to measure liquid volume
Displacement Jar: tool to measure the volume of irregular objects



Density: the amount of mass in a given volume
Grams per Cubic Centimeter ( g / cm3 ) : basic unit of measure for density
D = m / v : formula to find density
Water: characteristic density of 1.0 g/ml
Floats: density of object less than the density of the liquid
Sinks: density of object greater than the density of the liquid
Middle: density of the object is equal to the density of the liquid

Dear Mrs. Dzubak Letter
Directions: Write a letter to me explaining how to use a triple beam balance to measure the mass of different types of substances. You must give detailed information on measuring the mass using the three different procedures we learned about. Be sure to include any important reminders we talked about as well in regard to taking care of and treating the balance properly.
