Study Notes
Sublimation and Deposition
- Sublimation refers to the process where a solid transitions directly into a gas without becoming a liquid, aided by energy addition.
- Frozen carbon dioxide (CO2) converts to gaseous CO2 at room temperature.
- Deposition involves gas molecules releasing energy, causing them to group together and form solids.
- Water vapor (H2O) can deposit into ice crystals, contributing to snowflake formation.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Property: Can be measured and perceived using the senses; examples include mass, color, and length.
- Chemical Property: Evaluates matter based on its chemical structure and reactions; includes flammability and toxicity.
- Extensive Property: Dependent on the amount of material; changes with physical property variations; examples are mass and volume.
- Intensive Property: Independent of the amount of substance; remains constant regardless of quantity; examples are density and temperature.
Consumer Products
- Food Additives: Enhance flavor, appearance, and preservation of food and beverages.
- Active Ingredients: Biologically active substances mainly used in pharmaceuticals and cleaning products.
- Cleaning Agents: Designed to remove dirt, stains, and odors while potentially killing harmful microorganisms.
- Cosmetics: Improve appearance and fragrance for consumers.
Classifications of Matter
- Mixture: Contains varying compositions; can be heterogeneous (components identifiable) or homogeneous (uniform composition).
- Heterogeneous Mixture: Individual components are distinguishable; examples include garden salad and trail mix.
- Colloid: Appears homogeneous but remains heterogeneous at times; examples include milk and styling gel.
- Homogeneous Mixture (Solution): Uniform composition throughout; examples include brine and orange juice.
- Pure Substance: Consistent composition; divided into elements (one type of atom, e.g., hydrogen) and compounds (combination of elements, e.g., water).
Phases of Matter
- Solid: Defined shape, minimal molecular movement, rigid structure; an example is diamond.
- Liquid: Molecular movement allowing it to take the shape of its container; an example is lemon juice.
- Gas: High molecular movement with no defined shape; an example is atmospheric air.
- Plasma: Extremely high molecular movement resulting from energy absorption; example includes neon lights.
Phase Transitions
- Melting: Heat transforms a solid into a liquid, such as iron bars melting into liquid iron.
- Evaporation: Heat causes liquid to convert into gas; saltwater can evaporate to yield salt.
- Ionization: Heating a gas to create ions; e.g., neon gas glowing due to ionization in a glass tube.
- Recombination (Deionization): Cooling plasma allows ions to return to gas state; neon plasma reverts to gas when cooled.
- Condensation: Energy transfer causes gas to form liquid; water vapor condenses to create clouds.
- Freezing: Heat removal from a liquid forms a solid; e.g., liquid mercury solidifies when cooled with liquid nitrogen.
