Study Notes
Chemical Reactions
- Chemical reactions involve the transformation of one or more substances into new substances.
- Types of chemical reactions:
- Synthesis: two or more substances combine to form a new substance.
- Decomposition: a single substance breaks down into two or more substances.
- Replacement: one element replaces another in a compound.
- Combustion: a substance reacts with oxygen to produce heat and light.
- Chemical reactions are often represented by chemical equations, which show the reactants, products, and direction of the reaction.
Everyday Applications
- Matter is used in various everyday applications, including:
- Food and drink: cooking, digestion, and nutrition.
- Medicine: diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of diseases.
- Technology: construction of buildings, roads, and electronic devices.
- Energy: fossil fuels, nuclear power, and renewable energy sources.
States of Matter
- Matter can exist in four main states:
- Solid: particles are closely packed and have a fixed shape.
- Liquid: particles are close together but can move freely.
- Gas: particles are widely spaced and can move freely.
- Plasma: high-energy state where particles are ionized.
- Phase changes occur when matter changes from one state to another, such as melting (solid to liquid) or boiling (liquid to gas).
Mixture Separation
- Mixtures are composed of two or more substances that are not chemically combined.
- Methods for separating mixtures:
- Filtration: separating particles based on size.
- Sedimentation: separating particles based on density.
- Distillation: separating liquids based on boiling points.
- Chromatography: separating particles based on their interactions with a stationary phase.
Physical Properties
- Physical properties of matter include:
- Mass: a measure of the amount of matter in an object.
- Volume: a measure of the amount of space occupied by an object.
- Density: the ratio of mass to volume.
- Buoyancy: the ability of an object to float or sink in a fluid.
- Solubility: the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
- Viscosity: the resistance of a fluid to flow.
