Unit A: Mix and Flow of Matter Vocab
Cards in this deck (30)
- 1WHMISWorkplace Hazardous Materials Information System
- 2FluidAnything without a fixed shape that can flow
- 3SlurryA mixture of liquids and solids (ex. mud)
- 4HydrometerDevice used to measure the density of a liquid
- 5Pneumatic SystemSystem that uses gas under pressure to move loads. Works according to Pascal's Law
- 6Hydraulic SystemSystem that uses liquid under pressure to move. Works according to Pascals's law
- 7SoluteSubstances that dissolve into a solution
- 8SolcentSubstance that dissolves solutes
- 9ConcentrationThe amount of solute dissolved in a certain amount of solvent
- 10Unsaturated SolutionA solution the more solute can be dissolved into a the current temperature
- 11Saturated SolutionSolution that no more solute can be dissolved into at the current temperature
- 12SolubilityThe ability to dissolve. How much solute can dissolve into a specific amount of solvent
- 13Saturation pointThe point where no more solute can be dissolved into the solvent at the given temperature
- 14Aqueous SolutionSolution where water is the solvent
- 15Thermal pollutionWhen people take cool water out of a lake or pond and put back in warm water
- 16ViscosityThe amount of resistance a fluid has to flow
- 17DensityMeasures the mass per volume. How much matter is in a given volume.
- 18BouyancyTendency of an object to float when placed in a fluid
- 19Neutral buoyancyNeither sinks nor floats
- 20Plimsoll linePainted on the side of a ship to show how heavy a load can be placed in it in different water conditions
- 21CompressibilityWhen a force pushes an object
- 22IncompressibleThe inability to compress a substance
- 23MatterAnything that has mass and takes up space
- 24Pure substancesSubstances that are made up of only one type of matter. They can't be separated into different substances
- 25MixturesMade up of different substances. Can be separated into different substances
- 26Mechanical (heterogeneous) mixturesMixtures where the individual substances can be see
- 27SuspensionsMixtures in which droplets of one substance are held in another substance. Undisturbed, it's parts will usually separate
- 28ColloidsMixtures in which droplets of one substance are held in another substance except the drops are so small the mixture will not usually separate easily. It looks like one substance to the naked eye.
- 29Solutions (homogeneous mixture)Mixtures of two or more substances in which the individual substances can't be seen. Solutions look like pure substances even under a microscope.
- 30PressureThe measure of the amount of force applied to a certain area
