    Study Notes

    Lab Equipment Identification

    • Container with a wide bottom and a narrow neck is a flask, used for mixing liquids by swirling.
    • A flat, woven mesh that supports laboratory equipment and distributes heat from a Bunsen burner is called a wire gauze.
    • A long, thin piece of glass for mixing or stirring substances in containers is a stirring rod.
    • A pair of tools used to grind or crush substances is referred to as a mortar and pestle.
    • A device used to measure mass featuring three beams with sliding weights is a triple beam balance.

    Definition and Importance of Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the study of matter and its interactions, focusing on substances' properties and behaviors.
    • Understanding chemistry is crucial as it helps in various scientific fields and everyday life situations.

    Matter and Its States

    • Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • States of matter include solid, liquid, gas, and plasma (the fourth state).

    Characteristics of Matter States

    Solid

    • Particles are tightly packed.
    • Possesses a definite shape and volume.

    Liquid

    • Particles are further apart than in solids, allowing flow.
    • Has an indefinite shape but a definite volume.

    Gas

    • Particles are very far apart with high energy.
    • Lacks a fixed shape and volume.

    Plasma

    • Plasma is a highly ionized gas characterized by free-moving ions and electrons.

    Classification of Matter

    • Matter can be classified into pure substances and mixtures.

    Pure Substance

    • Has a definite formula or symbol (e.g., water - H2O).
    • Composed of a single type of atom or molecule.

    Mixture

    • Contains two or more substances, lacking a fixed chemical formula.
    Types of Mixtures
    • Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform appearance (e.g., saltwater).
    • Heterogeneous mixtures consist of visibly different substances (e.g., salad).
