    Study Notes

    Introduction to Chemistry

    • Chemistry is the study of matter and its changes.
    • Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
    • A substance is a form of matter with a definite composition and distinct properties.
    • Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances, where the substances retain their identities.
    • Homogeneous mixtures have the same composition throughout (e.g., soft drinks, milk, solder).
    • Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition (e.g., cement, iron filings in sand).
    • Physical means can separate mixtures into pure components. (e.g., distillation, magnetism)
    • An element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means.
    • 114 elements have been identified; 82 occur naturally (e.g., gold, aluminum, oxygen, carbon, sulfur).
    • 32 elements have been created by scientists (e.g., technetium, americium, seaborgium).
    • A compound is a substance composed of atoms of two or more elements chemically joined in fixed proportions.
    • Compounds can only be separated into their pure components (elements) by chemical means.
    • Classification of matter: Matter → Mixtures (homogeneous, heterogeneous) → Pure Substances (Compounds, Elements).
    • Matter exists in three states: solid, liquid, and gas.

    Properties of Matter

    • Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter (e.g., mass, length, volume).
    • Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of matter (e.g., density, temperature, color).
    • Mass is the measure of the quantity of matter. SI unit is the kilogram (kg).
    • Weight is the force that gravity exerts on an object.
    • Density = mass/volume. SI unit is kg/m³.

    Measurement and Units

    • SI units are used in scientific measurements.
    • Prefixes are used to indicate multiples or fractions of base units (e.g., kilo-, centi-, milli-).
    • Volume is a derived unit, cubic meter (m³).
    • 1 Liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm³).
    • 1 cm³ = 1 mL.
    • Temperature scales: Kelvin, Celsius, Fahrenheit.

    Scientific Method

    • The scientific method is a systematic approach to research.
    • Observation → Representation → Interpretation
    • A hypothesis is a tentative explanation for a set of observations.
    • Hypotheses can be tested and modified.
    • A law is a concise statement of a relationship between phenomena that is always the same under the same conditions.
    • A theory is a unifying principle that explains a body of facts and/or those laws based on them.

    Changes in Matter

    • Physical changes do not alter the composition or identity of a substance (e.g., ice melting, sugar dissolving).
    • Chemical changes alter the composition or identity of the substance(s) involved (e.g., hydrogen burning, chemical reactions).

    Other Concepts

    • Solubility is the process by which a solute dissolves in a solvent.
    • Solution examples include: liquid nitrogen, sugar in water, Potassium chloride.
    • This is a fundamental concept of chemical interactions.
