Study Notes
Matter and Its Properties
- Matter is composed of tiny particles (atoms) with spaces in between, as described by the Kinetic Particle Theory.
- States of matter include solids (ordered particles, strong attraction), liquids (loosely packed, less attraction, flows), gases (high kinetic energy, weak attraction), and plasma (ionized gas, electrons stripped off).
- Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is a state of matter at temperatures near absolute zero where particles behave as a single quantum state.
Properties of Matter
- Physical properties can be observed without changing the substance's composition (e.g., boiling point, density).
- Chemical properties relate to a substance's ability to undergo changes in composition (e.g., combustion of coal).
- Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of substance (e.g., density), while extensive properties do (e.g., mass, volume).
Changes in Matter
- Physical changes do not alter substance composition (e.g., melting, boiling), whereas chemical changes do (e.g., decomposition, rusting).
Classification of Matter
- Mixtures consist of two or more substances that can be separated by physical methods.
- Homogeneous mixtures have uniform composition (solutions), while heterogeneous mixtures do not (e.g., suspensions, colloids).
Methods for Separating Mixtures
- Techniques for separating heterogeneous mixtures include decantation, filtration, flotation, and centrifugation.
- Distillation separates homogeneous mixtures based on boiling points; fractional distillation is for components with close boiling points.
- Crystallization involves forming solid crystals from a solution, and chromatography separates substances based on their movement through a medium.
Elements and Compounds
- Elements are substances that cannot be broken down further and can exist naturally or artificially (118 known elements).
- Compounds form when elements chemically combine and can be broken down into simpler substances only through chemical changes.
Scientific Measurements
- The International System of Units (SI) standardizes measurements globally, with the kilogram as the standard mass unit.
- Weight is defined as the gravitational force on an object and varies with location, while temperature is measured in degrees Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.
- Significant figures indicate the precision of measurements, governed by rules about digits and zeros.
Conversion Formulas
- Conversion formulas help switch between temperature scales:
- Celsius to Kelvin (K = C + 273)
- Fahrenheit to Celsius (C = (F - 32)/1.80)
- Kelvin to Celsius (C = K - 273)
Precision, Accuracy, and Measurements
- Precision indicates the closeness of repeated measurements, while accuracy reflects how close a measurement is to the true value.
- Significant figures are crucial for expressing accuracy and precision in measurements.
- Essential rules determine which digits are significant, impacting how scientific data is recorded and interpreted.
