CHEM120 Chamberlain Final Exam: The Ultimate Study
Guide with 100% Correct Answers to Pass on Your First
Try (2026/2027 Edition).
Chemistry - ANSWER-The study of the properties of matter and
how matter changes
Basic Unit in Chemistry - ANSWER-atom
Types of Chemistry - ANSWER-Green Chemistry
Sustainable Chemistry
green chemistry - ANSWER-uses materials and processes that
are intended to prevent or reduce pollution at its source
replacing rare hazardous with more abundant less hazardous
Example of green chemistry - ANSWER-replacement of
mercury fluorescent light bulbs with efficient mercury free light
bulbs
Green Chemistry Solar Fuels - ANSWER-sunlight is abundant
source of energy
plants store solar energy as chemical energy via photosynthesis
artificial photosynthesis - ANSWER-can be used to generate
hydrogen fuel
H fuel can then be reacted with O to produce heat and electricity
,2|Page
water---->hydrogen + oxygen
sustainable chemistry - ANSWER-designed to meet the needs of
the present generation without compromising the needs of future
generations
Matter - ANSWER-Anything that has mass and takes up space
mass - ANSWER-A measure of the amount of matter in an
object
weight - ANSWER-A measure of the gravitational force exerted
on the matter of an object.
Classes of Matter - ANSWER-Solids, Liquids, Gas
Solid - ANSWER-Definite shape and volume
vibration
ice, brick, wood,
liquid - ANSWER-A state of matter that has no definite shape
but has a definite volume.
move in irregular pattern
petrol, vinegar, paint, water
gas - ANSWER-A state of matter with no definite shape or
volume
freely move continuously- far apart
helium, oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen
,3|Page
melting point - ANSWER-The temperature at which a solid
becomes a liquid
Vaporation - ANSWER-Liquid to gas
boiling Point - ANSWER-temp at which liquid escapes and
becomes a gas
condensation - ANSWER-Gas to liquid
freezing - ANSWER-liquid to solid
occurs at freezing point/same as melting point
Sublimation - ANSWER-A change directly from the solid to the
gaseous state without becoming liquid
Ex: dry ice
2 categories of matter - ANSWER-substances and mixtures
Substance - ANSWER-A single kind of matter that is pure and
has a specific set of properties.
Substance contains - ANSWER-Elements and Compounds
Elements - ANSWER-A molecule composed of one kind of
atom; cannot be broken into simpler units by chemical reactions.
represented by chemical groups:
Cl, H, Mg
Compounds - ANSWER-2 or more elements chemically
combined
, 4|Page
many exist as groups of atoms bonded together as molecules
Atoms - ANSWER-Building blocks of matter
smallest particle in an element
Aristotle - ANSWER-A Greek Philosopher,
all matter is composed of 4 elements
all matter is continuous not atomistic
WEAF- water, earth, air, water
Atomos - ANSWER-Lecuippus/democritus
point at which matter can no longer be subdivided
Mixtures - ANSWER-A combination of two or more substances
that are not chemically combined
homogeneous mixture - ANSWER-a mixture that is uniform in
composition; components are evenly distributed and not easily
distinguished
Ex: sugar and water
heterogeneous mixture - ANSWER-A mixture that is not
uniform in composition; components are not evenly distributed
throughout the mixture
Ex: oil and water
Measurement of Matter - ANSWER-mass
Measurements of length - ANSWER-meters
1 m= 100 cm
1000 m=1 km
