    Study Notes

    Physical Means of Separation

    • Physical means can be used to separate a mixture into its pure components
    • Examples of physical means include distillation and magnets

    Elements

    • An element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means
    • 114 elements have been identified, with 82 occurring naturally on Earth and 32 created by scientists
    • Examples of elements include gold, aluminum, lead, oxygen, and carbon

    Compounds

    • A compound is a substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions
    • Compounds can only be separated into their pure components (elements) by chemical means
    • Examples of compounds include water (H2O), glucose (C6H12O6), and ammonia (NH3)

    The Three States of Matter

    • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas
    • Physical state properties of the three states of matter:
      • Solid: fixed volume and shape, particles are closely packed and have low kinetic energy
      • Liquid: fixed volume, takes shape of container, particles are close together and have moderate kinetic energy
      • Gas: variable volume, takes volume of container, particles are far apart and have high kinetic energy

    Physical and Chemical Changes

    • A physical change does not alter the composition or identity of a substance
    • A chemical change alters the composition or identity of the substance(s) involved

    Extensive and Intensive Properties

    • An extensive property of a material depends on how much matter is being considered
    • Examples of extensive properties include mass, length, and volume
    • An intensive property of a material does not depend on how much matter is being considered
    • Examples of intensive properties include density, temperature, and color

    Matter

    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass
    • The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg)
    • Weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object

    International System of Units (SI)

    • The SI derived unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3)
    • 1 cm3 = (1 x 10-2 m)3 = 1 x 10-6 m3
    • 1 dm3 = (1 x 10-1 m)3 = 1 x 10-3 m3
    • 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3

    Density

    • The SI derived unit for density is kg/m3
    • Density formula: mass density = volume (m d= V)
    • Example problem: A piece of platinum metal with a density of 21.5 g/cm3 has a volume of 4.49 cm3. What is its mass?

    Chemistry: A Science for the 21st Century

    • Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes
    • Chemistry is important in various fields, including health and medicine, materials and technology, food and agriculture, and energy and the environment
