Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- Matter can be categorized into mixtures and pure substances.
- Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (non-uniform composition).
- Examples of homogeneous mixtures include solutions such as NaCl in water, brass, and air.
- Heterogeneous mixtures are exemplified by smog, blood, and salad.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Observable without changing the substance's composition, including
- Density
- Thermal conductivity
- Solubility
- Magnetic properties
- Chemical Properties: Observable only when the substance changes, such as flammability and reactivity.
Solubility
- Defined as the measure of how much of a substance dissolves in a given liquid volume.
- Example: Sugar dissolves in water differently than sand does, highlighting variable solubilities.
Magnetic Properties
- Ferromagnetic substances (e.g., Fe, Co, Ni) are attracted to magnets.
- Nonferromagnetic substances (e.g., Cu, Al) are not attracted to magnets.
Classification of Properties
- Intensive Properties: Independent of the amount of matter, crucial for identifying materials.
- Extensive Properties: Dependent on the amount of matter present, important for practical applications.
Laboratory Equipment
- Test Tube Rack: Holds multiple test tubes concurrently.
- Test Tube Brush: Cleans test tubes effectively.
- Stirring Rod: Mixes solutions manually; used for various laboratory techniques.
- Magnetic Stirrer: Automates stirring using a magnetic field.
- Spatula: Transfers or applies powders and pastes.
- Mortar and Pestle: Crushes and grinds substances into fine powder.
- Condenser: Channels liquids into narrow openings for accurate transfers.
- Hotplate: Provides controlled, flameless heating for various laboratory applications.
Measurement Instruments
- Thermometer: Accurately measures temperature for experimental monitoring.
- Triple Beam Balance: Measures masses with an accuracy of 0.05 grams, range from 1g to 610g.
- Digital Balance: Offers precise mass measurements in a range of 0.5g to 600g.
Separation Techniques
- Centrifuge: Separates components based on density; commonly used in biological applications.
- Evaporating Dish: Heats liquids to evaporate solvents, leaving solids behind.
- Filtration: Uses filter paper and a funnel to separate solids from liquids.
- Evaporation: Removes soluble solids from liquids, e.g., salt from water.
- Distillation: Separates miscible liquids based on boiling point differences.
- Solvent Separation: Employs a separatory funnel for immiscible liquids like oil and water.
- Decantation: Separates solid residues from liquid in suspensions, e.g., water mixed with mud.
- Centrifugation: Uses rapid spinning to separate particles by size and density.
- Magnetism: Distinguishes magnetic materials from nonmagnetic, e.g., iron fillings from sand.
- Chromatography: Separates components of mixtures, commonly used for inks to separate colors.
