What can be used to identify a substance or to predict how will behave?
Physical and chemical properties can be used to identify a substance or predict how it will behave.
What unit is used to identify concentration of a substance?
Molarity
How may the reaction with oxygen be used to distinguish a metal from a non metal?
When a metal reacts with oxygen, it forms a metal oxide which is basic in nature. This can be distinguished from a non-metal oxide, which is acidic in nature. This difference in the nature of oxides can be used to identify whether a substance is a metal or non-metal.
What is an attribute that can be used to help identify a substance?
Characteristic Property
What property is used to identify a pure substance?
melting point
How can knowing the physical properties of a substance be useful?
The physical properties of a pure substance can be used to identify it. A pure substance is an element or a compound, not a mixture.
What is meant by a characteristic property of a substance?
A characteristic property of a substance is a unique and specific attribute that is inherent to that substance and helps to identify and distinguish it from others. These properties remain constant regardless of the amount or form of the substance and can be used to determine its identity.
Is solubility is a characteristic property of matter it can be used to help identify a substance?
True
Which 4 specific properties cannot be used to identify a substance?
Color, odor, taste, and state of matter are not specific enough to uniquely identify a substance, as multiple substances may share these properties.
Why is it important thatwe control the density for any substance?
The density of any substance is constant, we don't control it. However, by finding the density of any substance, it can be used to help identify the substance.
How is conductivity used to identify a substance?
Conductivity is used to identify a substance by measuring how well it conducts electricity, which is influenced by the presence of ions in a solution. Different substances have distinct ion concentrations and types, resulting in unique conductivity values. By comparing the measured conductivity with known values for various substances, one can identify the unknown substance. Additionally, changes in conductivity can indicate reactions or interactions, further aiding in substance identification.
What Term is used to identify the presence of the amount of?
The term "quantity" is used to identify the amount of something. This term signifies the numerical value or measurement of a substance, quantity, or object.
