Study Notes
Matter and Its Properties
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass, defined by volume and mass.
- Chemistry is defined as the study of matter and its changes.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in various states, including solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solid water (ice) melts into liquid water when heated, demonstrating states of matter transformation.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Can be observed without changing the substance's composition (e.g., shape, texture, mass, density).
- Chemical Properties: Observed when a substance undergoes a chemical change (e.g., flammability, reactivity).
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of substance (e.g., mass, volume).
- Intensive Properties: Independent of the substance amount (e.g., boiling point, density).
Physical and Chemical Change
- Physical Change: Does not alter the chemical composition of a substance (e.g., phase changes).
- Chemical Change: Involves a chemical reaction producing new substances (e.g., hydrogen burns to form water).
Classifications of Matter
- Matter is classified into Pure Substances and Mixtures.
-
Pure Substances: Homogeneous material with consistent properties throughout.
- Elements: Simplest forms of matter that cannot be broken down (e.g., Na, Fe).
- Compounds: Substances made from different elements chemically bonded (e.g., H2O, NaCl).
-
Mixtures: Combinations of different substances in varying proportions, classified as:
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition (e.g., air, seawater).
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Distinct components visible (e.g., sand and water, oil and water).
Separation Techniques
- Sieving: Separates mixtures based on particle size.
- Magnetic Attraction: Uses magnetism to separate materials.
- Evaporation: Converts liquid to gas, leaving solids behind.
- Sublimation: Solid directly transforms into gas (e.g., dry ice).
- Sedimentation and Decantation: Settling of insoluble impurities; decanting transfers clear liquid without disturbing sediment.
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids using a porous barrier.
- Distillation: Separates liquid mixtures through vaporization and condensation.
- Centrifugation: Uses density differences to separate components by spinning.
- Chromatography: Separates components based on solubility in a mobile and stationary medium.
Summary of Practices
- Classify properties as physical or chemical, and determine if they are intensive or extensive.
- Example properties include mass (extensive), acidity (intensive), color (intensive), density (intensive), and energy (extensive).
