Unit 6: Properties of MatterCh 17: Properties of Matter 17.1 Properties of Solids 17.2 Density of Fluids 17.3 Buoyancy of Fluids 17.4 Viscosity of Fluids Chapter 17 Learning Goals Learn the definitions of terms used to describe properties of matter. Learn how to calculate the density of solids. Learn how to find the density of liquids and use your understanding to make a density column. Use a density column to predict the density of a solid. Investigate how the shape of an object can determine whether it floats or sinks. Compare the weight of an object with the weight of the water it displaces. Learn why certain fluids are more viscous than others. Measure the viscosity of fluids using a viscometer. Compare the properties of viscosity and the density of fluids. Chapter 17 Vocabulary Terms brittleness buoyancy density elasticity hardness 17.1 Properties of Solids I. Chemical Properties A. The way a substance reacts with other substances to form new substances with different properties B. Reactivity 1. the ability of a substance to chemically combine with another substance 2. ie – iron reacts with oxygen to form rust II. Physical Property A. A characteristic of a substance that be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substance B. Many physical properties can be observed using your five senses C. Properties help us distinguish between different types of matter D. Properties of Solids 1. density 2. hardness 3. elasticity 4. brittleness 5. malleability 6. tensile strength 7. Ability to conduct electricity 8. Ability to conduct heat 17.1 Properties of Solids 2. Liquids tend to be less dense than when in their solid form 3. Water is an exception. a. Ice is less dense than liquid water, so ice floats b. Water molecules are more tightly packed when in liquid form 17.2 Density of Fluids III. Chemical Changes A. A change that occurs when a substance changes composition by forming one or more new substances B. Example 1. fruits and vegetables
