Study Notes

Properties of Matter

Gold, silver, and aluminum are not attracted to each other due to similar densities.
Water's density remains unchanged unless another substance is added.
Size differences in mixtures facilitate manual separation (e.g., sifting flour).

Types of Atoms and Chemical Symbols

Over 100 types of atoms exist, each with unique properties.
Chemical symbols consist of one or two letters; the first letter is capitalized.
Symbols may derive from English or other languages (e.g., K for potassium from "kalium").

Formulas of Chemical Substances

Empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of atoms.
Molecular formula indicates the number and type of atoms present.
Condensed formula specifies the order of functional groups, while structural formulas show graphic representation.

Separation Techniques

Filtration: Separates insoluble solids from liquids using filter paper; residue and filtrate are produced.
Decantation: Solid particles settle, and the liquid (decantate) is poured off, leaving the residue.
Centrifugation: Spinning a mixture to use centrifugal force for separating components.
Sublimation: A solid transforms into gas, depositing onto a cooler surface; example includes iodine and sand.

Advanced Separation Methods

Chromatography: Separates substances in a solution based on their movement through stationary and mobile phases.
Distillation: Involves heating liquid to gas and condensing it back into liquid to separate mixtures.
Magnetic Separation: Uses magnets to extract metallic components from mixtures.

Chemical Reactions and Stoichiometry

Chemical equations must be balanced using coefficients without altering subscripts.
Mole ratio from balanced equations aids in calculating reactants and products' quantities.
Copper dissolves in nitric acid following a specific reaction, demonstrating stoichiometric principles.

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures

The total pressure in a gas mixture equals the sum of individual gas pressures, calculated based on mole fractions.
Ideal gas law helps relate partial pressures to mole fractions when temperature and volume remain constant.

Graham’s Law of Effusion

Diffusion is the scattering of gas particles throughout the container, exemplified by a spritz of perfume.
Effusion occurs when gas escapes through a tiny opening, demonstrating gas behavior under specific conditions.
