Study Notes
Introduction to Matter
- Matter defined as anything with mass and occupies space.
- Chemistry: study of substance identification, properties, interactions, and changes leading to new substances.
- Properties of matter include its composition and structure.
Properties of Matter
- Physical properties: observable without altering composition.
- Chemical properties: require composition change through chemical reactions.
- Extensive properties depend on the amount of matter (e.g., mass, volume).
- Intensive properties remain unchanged regardless of the amount (e.g., density, boiling point).
Changes in Matter
- Physical changes: alter state/appearance without changing composition, atoms/molecules retain identity.
- Chemical changes: composition is altered, causing atoms to rearrange into different substances.
Key Properties of Substances
- Malleability: ability of metals to be shaped or compressed without breaking.
- Ductility: capacity of a material to be stretched without fracturing.
- Conductor: allows electricity to flow; electrons/ions move easily.
- Insulator: prevents electrical current flow; examples include rubber and glass.
- Solubility: maximum amount of solute that dissolves in a solvent at a given temperature.
- Density: mass per unit volume of a substance, influenced by temperature and pressure.
- Boiling Point: temperature where liquid turns to vapor, occurs when vapor pressure equals atmospheric pressure.
- Melting Point: temperature where solid becomes liquid; solid and liquid phases coexist.
- Acidity: ability to turn blue litmus red; pH below 7 indicates acidic solutions.
- Polarity: separation of electric charge in molecules; affects chemical bonding.
- Flammability: ease of ignition and burning properties of a material.
- Elasticity: ability of a deformed material to return to its original shape.
- Reactivity: propensity of a substance to undergo chemical reactions.
- Corrosiveness: gradual destruction of materials through chemical reactions.
Common Chemical Substances
- Chemical formulas: often confusing for consumers; represent ingredients in products like food and medicine.
- Hand sanitizers:
- Alcohol-based: contain ethanol or isopropanol; require at least 60% alcohol for effectiveness against germs.
- Non-alcohol-based: often contain Benzalkonium Chloride, gentler for sensitive skin.
