Study Notes
Properties of Matter
- Matter is characterized by observable properties such as mass, volume, and density.
- Properties help in identifying and separating substances.
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties are traits observable when matter reacts with another substance.
- Examples include flammability and oxidation.
Chemical Formula
- A chemical formula indicates the types and number of atoms in a substance.
- Example: CO2 (1 Carbon atom, 2 Oxygen atoms = Carbon Dioxide).
Physical Properties
- Physical properties can be observed without changing the chemical composition.
- Intensive Properties: Do not depend on the amount of substance (e.g., ductility, malleability, diffusion).
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount (e.g., size).
Common Substances
- Sodium Chloride (NaCl): 1 Sodium atom, 1 Chlorine atom.
- Ammonia (NH3): 1 Nitrogen atom, 3 Hydrogen atoms.
- Sucrose (C12H22O11): 12 Carbon, 22 Hydrogen, 11 Oxygen atoms.
- Methane (CH4): 1 Carbon, 4 Hydrogen atoms.
- Acetone (C3H6O): 3 Carbon, 6 Hydrogen, 1 Oxygen atom.
Consumer Products
- Defined as final goods purchased by individuals or households for personal use.
- Production involves the interplay of science, technology, and societal needs.
Separation Techniques
- Various methods are used to separate components of mixtures:
- Distillation: Evaporation and condensation process based on boiling points.
- Filtration: Separates insoluble solids from liquids through porous material.
- Decantation: Involves pouring off liquid from settled solid.
- Centrifugation: Uses centrifugal force to accelerate the settling of components.
- Chromatography: Separates substances based on their affinities for a stationary phase.
- Electrolysis: Chemical breakdown resulting from electric current through a liquid solution.
Key Concepts
- Method: Refers to procedures or techniques used in separation.
- Separate: Process of moving or segregating substances to isolate components.
- Mixture: Combination of two or more pure substances without a chemical union.
