Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Properties classified as intensive (do not depend on amount) and extensive (depend on amount).
- All samples of a substance share the same intensive properties due to identical chemical composition.
States of Matter
- Three primary states of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.
Physical Changes
- Physical changes are categorized as reversible (undoable) or irreversible (not undoable).
Distinguishing Substances
- Sodium chloride can be distinguished from other solids by its white color.
Properties of Liquids and Gases
- Both liquids and gases possess an indefinite shape, while solids have a definite shape.
Physical Change of Mercury
- The freezing of mercury is a reversible change, as it can be melted back into liquid form.
Extensive vs. Intensive Properties
- Gold and copper can exhibit similar extensive properties (mass and volume) but differ in intensive properties due to distinct chemical compositions.
Mixture Classifications
- Mixtures can be heterogeneous (varied composition) or homogeneous (uniform composition).
Separation of Mixtures
- Physical properties differences can be used to separate mixtures.
Phases in Mixtures
- A "phase" refers to a uniform composition part; homogeneous mixtures have one phase, while heterogeneous mixtures have two or more.
Classification of Mixtures
- Food coloring is homogeneous; ice cubes in water, unpeeled mashed potatoes are heterogeneous; mouthwash is homogeneous.
Comparison of Substance and Solution
- Both are uniform in composition; a substance has a definite composition while a solution has a variable composition.
Separation Techniques
- Filtration is used to separate solids from liquids in heterogeneous mixtures; distillation separates liquids in a mixture.
Separation of Sand and Salt
- Mix sand with water to dissolve salt, filter the mixture to retain sand, then evaporate water from the salt solution to obtain solid salt.
Compounds vs. Elements
- Compounds can be broken into simpler substances chemically; elements cannot.
Distinguishing Between Substance and Mixture
- A substance has a fixed composition; mixtures have variable compositions.
Chemical Symbols and Formulas
- Chemical symbols represent elements; chemical formulas represent compounds.
Breaking Down Compounds
- Compounds can be decomposed into simpler substances by methods such as heating or using an electric current.
Classification of Matter Samples
- Table sugar is a compound, tap water and cough syrup are mixtures, nitrogen is an element.
Chemical Symbols
- Chemical symbols: lead (Pb), oxygen (O), silver (Ag), sodium (Na), hydrogen (H), aluminum (Al).
Elements in Acetaminophen
- Acetaminophen (C8H9O2N) consists of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen; hydrogen is the most abundant by number of particles.
