GUIDE COMPREHENSIVE
QUESTIONS ANSWERS VERIFIED A+
◉ The five major branches of chemistry.
Answer: Organic chemistry
Inorganic chemistry
Analytical chemistry
Physical chemistry
Biochemistry
◉ Classifications of matter.
Answer: pure substance, mixture, homogeneous mixture, heterogeneous
mixture, element, compound
◉ Law of constant composition (for compounds).
Answer: A compound will always consist of two or more pure
substances
◉ The difference between a physical and chemical property.
Answer: Physical Property: measured without changing the substance
Chemical Property: how substance react or change to form different
substances
, ◉ The difference between a physical and chemical change.
Answer: Physical Change: substance changes physical appearance
without altering its identity
Chemical Change: substance transforms into a chemically different
substance
◉ The six types of phase changes.
Answer: freezing, melting, vaporization, condensation, sublimation,
vapor deposition
◉ The difference between intensive and extensive properties.
Answer: Intensive Properties: independent of the amount of the
substance that is present (density, boiling point, color)
Extensive Properties: depend upon the amount of substance present
(mass, volume, energy)
◉ The 5 fundamental SI units of measurement.
Answer: kg, m, s, K, mol
◉ How to convert between Kelvin and Centigrade temperatures; marker
temperatures on both scales in reference to water.
Answer: Celcius: water freezes at 0 degrees and boils at 100 degrees
K= C + 273.15
◉ Volume.
