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.
