Study Notes
Mass
- Defined as the amount of matter contained within an object.
- Measured in grams (g) and kilograms (kg).
- Measured using a balance.
Volume
- Refers to the amount of space an object occupies.
- Measured in cubic centimeters (cm³) and milliliters (mL).
- Instruments include a ruler and a graduated cylinder.
Density
- Represents the amount of mass per unit volume, specifically mass in grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
- Calculated using the formula: Density (D) = Mass (m) / Volume (v).
- Units for density are grams per cubic centimeter (g/cm³).
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Physical changes do not create new substances (e.g., ice melting, dry ice sublimating) while chemical changes result in new substances (e.g., burning paper, rusting iron).
- Both types of changes alter the materials involved.
Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition and properties throughout (e.g., water, blood).
- Heterogeneous mixtures have distinctly different components (e.g., earth and water mixed, oil and water).
Substances
- Defined as pure chemicals and can be classified into two types: elements and compounds.
- Elements consist of only one type of atom, while compounds are made of bonded atoms from different elements.
Phase Changes
- Classified as physical changes because they do not alter the chemical identity of the substance involved.
Matter
- Divided into two main categories: elements and compounds.
- Considered matter only if it possesses both mass and volume.
Floating and Density
- Objects float on water if their density is less than that of water; density determines buoyancy.
Measurement Tools
- Mass measured with a triple beam balance.
- Volume measured using tools like rulers and graduated cylinders.
