Study Notes
The Particulate Nature of Matter
- Matter consists of tiny particles that are in constant motion.
- Three main ideas regarding particle interactions: attractive forces, kinetic activity, and arrangement of particles.
Properties of Matter
- General properties help to differentiate materials.
- Physical Properties: Characteristics measurable without changing composition, such as color, mass, and boiling point.
- Chemical Properties: Characteristics observed during chemical reactions, indicating reactivity and composition.
Examples of Properties of Matter
- Kerosene: Flammability
- Wood: Combustibility
- Fossil Fuel: Biodegradability
- Heating Pan: Conductivity (includes Radiation, Conduction, Convection)
- Rusted Nail: Reactivity
- Snowfall: Freezing Point
- Boiling Water: Boiling Point and Specific Gravity
Intensive and Extensive Properties
- Intensive Properties: Do not depend on the amount of matter, e.g., density, boiling point.
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of matter, e.g., mass, volume.
Pure Substances and Mixtures
- Pure Substances: Composed of only one type of atom or molecule.
- Mixtures: Composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition throughout (e.g., alcohol, gasoline).
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Distinct, separate components (e.g., soda with ice, chocolate chip cookies).
Methods of Separating Components of Mixtures
- Evaporation: Separating components by changing state.
- Recrystallization: Purifying substances by forming crystals.
- Distillation: Separating liquid mixtures based on boiling points.
- Filtration: Using a barrier to separate solids from liquids.
- Decantation: Carefully pouring off a liquid, leaving the solid behind.
- Centrifugation: Separating components based on density using rotational force.
- Sieving: Separating particles by size through a mesh.
- Manual Picking: Separating components by hand.
- Use of Magnet: Attracting magnetic materials away from non-magnetic ones.
Errors in Measurement and Significant Figures
- Types of Errors: Systematic, random, gross, instrumental, observational, and environmental.
- Understanding measurement precision is crucial for accurate results.
- Significant Figures Rules: Indicate precision in measurements and calculations.
Fundamental Laws of Chemistry
- Law of Conservation of Mass: In any chemical reaction, mass is conserved; matter cannot be created or destroyed (Lavoisier, 1783).
- Law of Constant Composition: A compound always contains the same proportion of elements by mass, regardless of source (Proust, 1794).
- Law of Definite Proportion: A specific compound will always have the same elemental ratio (Proust, 1799).
- Law of Multiple Proportions: Elements can combine in multiple ratios to form different compounds (Dalton's observations on gaseous mixtures).
