Ch. 2 and 3 Measurement Law of conservation of mass SI units density
Chemical Symbols • When writing the chemical symbol for an element, the first letter is always capitalized, and the second letter (if there is one) is always lower case.
Chemical Equations • Reactants Products • Reactants are what goes into the reaction • means yields or produces • Products are what result from a chemical reaction
Law of Conservation of Mass • Mass of reactants equals the mass of the products, because mass cannot be created or destroyed by chemical reactions (only nuclear reactions) • Ex. If 25 grams of aluminum react with 5 grams of oxygen, how many grams of aluminum oxide are produced?

Density The ratio between the object’s mass and its volume.
Density • Density = • Density is a characteristic (physical) property that depends only on the composition of a substance, not on the size of the sample. • The composition of a mixture can vary therefore the density can vary. Mass Volume M V D =
Density Mass (g) Volume (cm3)
A copper penny has a mass of 3.1g and a volume of 0.35 cm3. What is the density of copper? Density = mass volume Density = 3.1g 0.35 cm3 Density practice problem = 8.8571 g/cm3 = 8.9 g/cm3
