    Study Notes

    Why Study Chemistry?

    • Chemistry examines matter, its properties, transformations, and the energy involved.
    • Key areas include understanding matter's composition, properties, energy types, classification, and separation techniques.
    • Identifies changes in matter and energy forms involved in these processes.

    Fundamental Definitions

    • Matter: Anything with mass and volume; encompasses everything from books to planets.
    • Composition: Types and amounts of simpler substances forming a sample of matter.
    • Properties: Unique characteristics that define each substance.

    Energy in Chemistry

    • Energy: The capacity to perform work; work equals force applied over a distance.
    • Potential Energy (PE): Energy based on an object's position; calculated as PE = mgh (mass x gravity x height).
    • Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy based on an object's motion; calculated as KE = 1/2 mv² (mass x velocity squared).

    Energy Changes

    • Lower energy states are more stable and preferred over higher states.
    • Energy is conserved and can be transformed between potential and kinetic forms.
    • Example: Lifting a weight (increasing potential energy) allows it to convert to kinetic energy as it falls.

    States of Matter

    • Primary states: Solid, Liquid, Gas.
    • Plasma: A state similar to gas but with electrically charged particles.
    • Matter transitions between states through endothermic and exothermic processes.

    Classification of Matter

    • Element: A pure substance with distinct physical and chemical properties, can’t be simplified further.
    • Molecule: Two or more chemically bonded atoms functioning as a unit.
    • Compound: Two or more elements combined chemically; separable only by chemical means.
    • Mixture: Two or more substances where each retains its properties.

    Types of Mixtures

    • Homogeneous Mixture (Solution): Uniform composition throughout; examples include coffee and vinegar.
    • Heterogeneous Mixture: Non-uniform composition; includes suspensions (e.g., muddy water) and colloids (e.g., milk).

    Basic Separation Techniques

    • Filtration: Separates based on particle size differences.
    • Crystallization: Based on differing solubility of mixture components.
    • Distillation: Exploits differences in volatility for separation.
    • Extraction: Utilizes solubility variations in different solvents.
    • Chromatography: Relies on solubility in a solvent versus a stationary phase.

    Properties of Matter

    • Physical Properties: Observable without interaction, including color, melting point, boiling point, density.
    • Chemical Properties: Observable only during interaction, such as flammability, corrosiveness, and reactivity.

    Detailed Physical Properties

    • Color: Absorption and reflection of light.
    • Texture: Visual and tactile quality of a substance.
    • Temperature: Average kinetic energy measure of particles.
    • Mass: Quantity of matter in an object, measured in grams or kilograms.
    • Volume: Space occupied by an object (mL, L, cm³).
    • Density: Mass-to-volume ratio, indicative of particle packing (Density = Mass/Volume).
    • Luster: Light reflection characteristic (e.g., metallic, dull).
    • Ductility: Capability of substance to stretch into wire.
    • Malleability: Ability to be flattened and retain shape.
