Study Notes

What is Chemistry?

  • Chemistry is the study of the composition, properties, and reactions of matter
  • It involves understanding what matter is, how it behaves, and how it changes

What is Matter?

  • Matter refers to all substances and materials that make up the physical universe
  • It has three fundamental properties: mass, occupying space, and inertia

Properties of Matter

  • Mass: the amount of matter in an object, which determines its weight
    • Example: a larger brick weighs more than a smaller brick because it contains more matter
  • Occupies Space: matter takes up space and cannot be occupied by other matter simultaneously
    • Example: two stools cannot occupy the same corner of a room, and two trucks cannot pass each other in a narrow lane
  • Inertia: matter resists changes in its motion or position unless acted upon by an external force
    • Example: a football will remain stationary until pushed, and will continue moving until stopped by an external force

Gravity and Matter

  • Gravity is the force of attraction exerted by the Earth on objects, causing them to fall towards the ground.
  • The force of gravity affects everything with mass, including objects thrown upwards, which will eventually come back down to the ground.
  • Gravity is responsible for fruits falling from trees and objects having weight.

Conservation of Mass

  • Matter cannot be destroyed or created, only transformed from one form to another.
  • The total mass of matter remains the same before and after physical and chemical changes.
  • This is demonstrated by Lavoisier's experiment, where tin metal was heated and converted into tin oxide, with the total weight remaining unchanged.

Characteristics of Matter

  • Matter is defined as anything that has mass and occupies space.
  • Things that don't have mass or occupy space, such as heat, light, sound, electricity, and shadows, are not considered matter.
  • To determine if something is matter, check if it has weight; if it doesn't, it's not matter.

Particles of Matter

  • All substances, including solids, liquids, and gases, are made up of constantly moving molecules, atoms, or ions.
  • The kinetic energy of these particles determines their physical behavior.
  • Evidence for particle movement includes the zig-zag motion of pollen grains in water.

  • Evidence for particle movement includes the zig-zag motion of pollen grains in water.

Brownian Motion

  • The zig-zag movement of small particles suspended in a liquid or gas due to constant collisions with fast-moving particles is called Brownian motion.
  • Brownian motion increases with temperature due to increased kinetic energy of particles of matter.

States of Matter

  • Solids change into liquids and liquids into gases when particles gain more kinetic energy, allowing them to move apart from one another.
  • When molecules vibrate more quickly upon heating, some of them escape from the matter.

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter

  • This theory states that any substance, whether solid, liquid, or gas, is made up of atoms, molecules, or ions that are in constant motion.
  • The main postulates of the kinetic theory of matter are:
    • Matter consists of molecules that are capable of free existence and retain all the chemical properties of the parent substance.
    • Molecules are always in a state of random continuous motion.
    • Molecules exert forces on one another, depending on intermolecular distances.
    • All collisions between particles of matter are perfectly elastic.
  • In solids, molecules vibrate about their average position.
  • In liquids, particles have enough free space to move about, but they still attract each other.
  • In gases, particles move about randomly, possessing kinetic energy.

Particle Movement

  • Particles, especially in the gaseous or liquid state, move in a random (Helter-Skelter) direction.
  • Particles collide with one another elastically, with the total energy of the colliding particles remaining the same.
  • The movement is caused by the force of attraction between molecules, known as intermolecular force.

  • The diffusion of iodine particles demonstrates that particles are mobile and can move and spread in a confined space.
  • The kinetic molecular theory of matter explains that particles have kinetic energy, which enables them to move and mix with other particles.
  • When salt and water come into contact, their molecules mix and spread due to their kinetic energy, resulting in a uniform salty taste throughout the container.

  • The three states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases) differ in their particle packing, energy, and intermolecular forces.

Characteristics of Solids

  • Particles are closely packed and have fixed positions.
  • Particles can only vibrate to and fro about their mean position, resulting in small energy due to motion.
  • Strong intermolecular forces hold particles together, giving solids a definite shape and volume.
  • Solids are:
    • Incompressible and highly rigid
    • Have high density
    • Do not flow (non-fluid)

Surface Tension

  • Surface tension is a property of liquids due to intermolecular forces between liquid particles.
  • Liquid surface feels stretched due to surface tension.
  • Molecules in the bulk of the liquid are attracted equally on all sides, while surface molecules are subjected only to downward attractive forces.
  • This creates an imbalance of forces at the surface, resulting in surface tension.
  • Surface tension decreases with a rise in temperature.
  • The decrease in surface tension is due to increased kinetic energy of molecules, leading to decreased intermolecular forces.

Surface Tension and Nature of Liquid

  • If intermolecular forces are large, viscosity will be high.
  • For example, honey is more viscous than water because of stronger intermolecular forces.

Effect of Temperature on Viscosity

  • Viscosity of a liquid decreases with a rise in temperature.
  • As temperature increases, average kinetic energy increases, and intermolecular forces can be easily overcome.
  • Therefore, the liquid starts moving faster with increased temperature.

    • Increasing temperature: solid to liquid to gas (e.g., ice to water to steam).
    • Decreasing temperature: gas to liquid to solid.
  • Changes in pressure:
    • Increasing pressure: gas to liquid to solid.
    • Decreasing pressure: solid to liquid to gas.

Important Points

  • Latent heat (hidden heat) is the energy required to change the state of a substance, which is absorbed without changing the temperature (e.g., heat required to melt ice).
  • Examples of changed states:
    • Ice to water to steam (heating).
    • Wax (solid) to wax (liquid) to wax vapor (heating).

  • Diffusion can be used to separate gases from a mixture, as lighter gases diffuse faster than heavier gases

Separation of Gases

  • Diffusion can be used to separate gases from a mixture by repeating the process of diffusion
  • This process takes advantage of the difference in rates of diffusion between lighter and heavier gases

States of Matter

  • The three states of matter are solid, liquid, and gas
  • These states are interconvertible, meaning they can be changed from one state to another and back again
  • Changes in temperature and pressure can cause these conversions

Changes of State

  • Changes in temperature and pressure can cause changes in state
  • Examples include:
    • Ice (solid) → water (liquid) by heating above 0°C
    • Water (liquid) → vapour (gas) by heating above 100°C
    • Wax (solid) → molten wax (liquid) by heating
    • Molten wax (liquid) → wax vapour (gas) by further heating
    • Gas → liquid → solid by cooling and increasing pressure

Latent Heat

  • Latent heat is the energy required to change the state of a substance (e.g., from solid to liquid)
  • During a change of state, the temperature of the system remains constant until all of the substance has changed state
  • The energy supplied during this process is used to break the intermolecular forces of attraction holding the substance in its original state
  • The term "latent" means "hidden" because the energy is not visible as a change in temperature

Latent Heat

  • There are two types of latent heat: latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization

Latent Heat of Fusion

  • Defined as the amount of heat energy required to change 1 kg of a solid into a liquid at atmospheric pressure without any change in temperature at its melting point
  • Latent heat of fusion of ice is 3.34 x 10^5 J/kg

Melting Process

  • When a solid is heated, molecules absorb heat energy, increasing kinetic energy and temperature
  • Further heat energy is used to break intermolecular forces of attraction, increasing intermolecular spaces, and changing the molecular arrangement from solid to liquid
  • The temperature at which a solid converts to a liquid state at atmospheric pressure is called the melting point of the solid

Factors Affecting Melting Point

  • Effect of pressure: depends on the nature of the solid
    • For solids that expand on melting, increased pressure increases the melting point (e.g., Paraffin wax, silver, gold, and copper)
    • For solids that contract on melting, increased pressure decreases the melting point (e.g., ice, cast iron, brass)

Effect of Impurities on Melting Point

  • Addition of impurities to a solid decreases its melting point, allowing it to melt at a lower temperature.
  • Example: Rose's metal alloy (tin, lead, and bismuth) has a melting point of 94.5°C, lower than the individual melting points of its components: Pb (327°C), Sn (231.9°C), and Bi (271°C).

Freezing

  • Freezing is the process of converting a liquid to a solid state, opposite to melting.
  • The temperature at which a liquid converts to a solid at atmospheric pressure is called the freezing point.

  • A mixture of 3 parts ice and 1 part common salt is called a freezing mixture, used to produce a lower temperature (e.g., -21°C).
  • Freezing mixtures are used for preserving food, especially perishables like fish, meats, and frozen foods.

Unique Properties of Ice

  • Ice is less dense as a solid than as a liquid, unlike most substances that become denser when frozen.
  • Water expands 7.7% in volume when it freezes, due to its molecules forming a latticework of hexagons with empty space.
  • Ice has a density of 0.917 g/cm³, while water has a maximum density of 1.00 g/cm³ at 3.98°C.
  • The expansion of ice is responsible for weathering of paved surfaces, and its unique properties allow it to float on water.

Survival of Aquatic Animals in Frozen Lakes

  • Pure water has a maximum density at 4°C and a minimum density at 0°C.
  • Ice at 0°C has a lower density than water, causing it to float.
  • Water expands instead of compressing between 0°C and 4°C, remaining in a liquid state.
  • Oxygen is trapped beneath the layer of ice, allowing fish and aquatic animals to survive in frozen lakes.

  • Boiling is the process by which a liquid changes into a gaseous state by absorbing heat energy.
  • Latent heat of vaporization is the quantity of heat in joules required to convert 1 kilogram of a liquid at its boiling point to vapor or gas, without any change in temperature.
  • The latent heat of vaporization of water is 22.5 x 10^5 joules per kilogram (or 225 x 10^5 J/kg).

Temperature Conversion

Celsius to Kelvin Scale

  • To convert temperature from Celsius to Kelvin, add 273 to the Celsius temperature.
  • Example: 0°C = 0 + 273 = 273 K, 100°C = 100 + 273 = 373 K.

Kelvin to Celsius Scale

  • To convert temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273 from the Kelvin temperature.

Kelvin to Fahrenheit Scale

  • To convert temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, use the formula: (9/5)C + 32 = F.

Conversions

  • Example conversions:

    • 573 K = (573 - 273) = 300°C.
    • 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300 K.

Kelvin to Celsius Scale

  • To convert temperature from Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273 from the Kelvin temperature.
  • Example: 373 K = 373 - 273 = 100°C, 273 K = (273 - 273) = 0°C.

Kelvin to Fahrenheit Scale

  • To convert temperature from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, use the formula: (9/5)C + 32 = F.

Conversions

  • Example conversions:
    • 300 K = (300 - 273) = 27°C.
    • 573 K = (573 - 273) = 300°C.
    • 27°C = 27 + 273 = 300 K.
    • 378°C = 378 + 273 = 651 K.
    • 108°F = (108 - 32) × 5/9 = 42.2°C.

Factors Affecting Boiling Point

  • The boiling point of a liquid increases with an increase in external pressure.
  • At higher altitudes, water boils at a lower temperature than 100°C due to lower pressure.
  • In a pressure cooker, the steam generated in a fixed volume increases the pressure beyond normal atmospheric pressure, allowing food to cook faster.

Effect of Impurities

  • Adding impurities to a liquid raises its boiling point beyond the normal boiling point.
  • For example, when common salt is dissolved in water, the solution boils at a temperature greater than 100°C.

Cooking Time at Different Altitudes

  • The boiling point of a liquid depends on the pressure acting on it.
  • At sea level, water boils at 373 K, but at higher altitudes, it boils at a lower temperature due to lower pressure.
  • Food takes longer to cook at higher altitudes because water boils at a lower temperature, requiring more time to cook.

Condensation

  • Condensation occurs when a gas or vapour is cooled, causing the kinetic energy of its particles to decrease.
  • As the temperature is further lowered, the attractive forces pull the particles close together, and the gas or vapour condenses into a liquid.

Effects of Condensation on Climate

  • The formation of dew, fog, and clouds are examples of condensation.
  • The temperature at which the atmospheric air becomes saturated with water vapour is called the dew point.
  • When the temperature falls below the dew point, water vapour condenses, forming dew, fog, or clouds.

Nature of Liquid

  • Different liquids have different rates of evaporation, depending on their interparticle attractive forces.
  • Liquids with weaker interparticle attractive forces, such as acetone, evaporate faster than those with stronger forces, like water.

  • Water is not formed when hydrogen and oxygen are simply mixed, but rather when an electric spark is passed through the mixture.
  • The properties of water are different from those of its constituent elements, e.g., hydrogen is combustible, oxygen is a supporter of combustion, and water is neither combustible nor a supporter of combustion.
  • A compound cannot be separated into its constituents by simple physical means, but can be done by chemical means, such as electrolysis.

Characteristics of Compounds

  • A compound has a definite molecular formula and fixed melting point and boiling point.
  • Energy in the form of heat or light is usually evolved or absorbed when a compound is formed.
  • A compound is a homogeneous substance, meaning every part of it looks alike and has the same properties.

Criteria of Purity of Compounds

  • A solid compound is said to be pure if it has a sharp melting point, i.e., whole of the solid melts within a range of 0.5°C or 0.5 K.
  • A liquid compound is said to be pure if it has a fixed boiling point, i.e., whole of the liquid distills at a fixed temperature.
  • Impurities lower or depress the melting points of solid compounds, while impurities raise the boiling points of liquid compounds.

Types of Mixtures

  • Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout, and the components are not visible to the naked eye or under a microscope.
  • Examples of homogeneous mixtures include:
    • Solutions of sugar in water
    • Mixtures of two or more miscible liquids
    • Alloys (e.g., brass, steel)
  • Heterogeneous mixtures do not have a uniform composition throughout, and the components are either visible to the naked eye or under a microscope.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures have two or more distinct phases.

Types of Mixtures

  • A mixture of sugar and sand is a heterogeneous mixture because different parts of the mixture have different sugar-sand compositions.
  • Examples of heterogeneous mixtures include iodized salt, gun powder (sulphur + charcoal + KNO3), and suspensions of solids in liquids (e.g., chalk or sand particles in water).

Pure Substances

  • A container filled with a pure substance is a balloon filled with helium, which is an element.
  • Air, salt water, and chocolate milk are examples of mixtures or impure substances.

Homogeneity and Mixtures

  • Compounds are homogeneous, but mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.
  • Homogeneity alone cannot be used to decide between a mixture and a compound.
  • Homogeneous mixtures, such as solutions of common salt, sugar, copper sulphate, etc. in water, are still regarded as mixtures because:
    • They show the properties of their constituents.
    • The constituents can be separated by physical processes, such as distillation.
    • The composition of the mixture is variable, and different amounts of the substance can be dissolved in the same amount of water.
    • The mixture does not have a definite formula.
    • The mixture does not have a fixed boiling point.
