Define Chemistry:
Define Matter:
answer
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes.
Matter is the "stuff" of which the universe is composed; it as mass and it occupies space.
question
Distinguish physical from chemical properties; physical and chemical changes.
answer
Physical Properties: substance shows by itself, without interacting with another substance.
Chemical Properties: Properties a substance shows on interaction with other substances.
Physical Change: Change that only affects physical properties. Leads to a different form of the same substance.
Chemical Change: Substance (s) are changed into NEW substances.

question
Difference between heat and temperature?
answer
Temperature is a measure of the kinetic energy of the particles (the faster they are going, the hotter they are).
Temperature does not depend on the mass of the substance (just how many particles there are).
The amount of heat energy that a substance has depends on its mass.
If you double the mass, you must double the heat energy to heat it to the same temperature.
The amount of heat energy that a substance has also depends on its specific heat capacity.

Thermodynamics: is the brach of physics that deals with the relationship between heat and other forms of energy.
Specific Heat: among of heat per/unit mass required to raise a temperature by 1°C.
