Study Notes
Differences Between Mixtures and Pure Substances
- Mixtures lack a definite chemical composition and show varying properties, while pure substances have a fixed composition and consistent properties.
- Examples of mixtures include paint and concrete, contrasting with pure substances like pure metal and distilled water.
States of Matter
- Solids feature tightly held particles in a structured arrangement, providing definite shape and volume.
- Liquids consist of closely packed particles that can move, resulting in a definite volume but no fixed shape.
- Gases have particles dispersed widely, with increased freedom of movement compared to solids and liquids.
- Change in state (solid, liquid, gas) can occur through alterations in temperature and pressure.
Properties of Matter
- Physical properties are observable without altering the substance's identity, including color, odor, melting point, boiling point, and density.
- Chemical properties involve changes in the substance's composition, such as combustion reactions producing new substances.
Measurement of Matter Properties
- Measurement compares a property of matter against a stable, reproducible standard.
- Quantitative properties like mass, length, area, volume, and time can be measured using numbers and specific units.
- Example: A classroom's length may be noted as 10 m, indicating both quantity and unit measurement.
Definition of Units
- Units are standardized, universally accepted measures used to quantify properties of matter.
- Common examples of units include the meter (m) for length and kilogram (kg) for mass.
Systems for Expressing Units
- Units can be represented in various systems, such as:
- CGS (centimeter, gram, second)
- FPS (foot, pound, second)
- MKS (meter, kilogram, second)
SI Units and Fundamental Units
- The International System of Units (SI) was introduced in 1960 as a revised metric system.
- The seven fundamental SI units are:
- Length: Meter (m)
- Mass: Kilogram (kg)
- Time: Second (s)
- Temperature: Kelvin (K)
- Amount of substance: Mole (mol)
- Electric current: Ampere (A)
- Luminous intensity: Candela (cd)
- Derived units for other measurements (e.g., speed, volume, density) can be formulated from these fundamental SI units.
