Study Notes

Matter and Energy

  • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space
  • Energy is the capacity to do work
  • Matter exists in three fundamental states: solid, liquid, and gas
  • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter
  • Elements are substances composed of only one type of atom

Dalton's Atomic Theory

  • Matter is composed of exceedingly small particles called atoms.
  • An element consists of only one type of atom, with a characteristic mass.
  • All atoms of a given element have identical chemical properties.

Classification of Matter

  • Pure Substances: Consist of only one type of atom or molecule.

    • Elements: Composed of atoms of the same type (e.g., gold, oxygen).
    • Compounds: Composed of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio (e.g., water, carbon dioxide).
  • Mixtures: Two or more pure substances physically combined.

    • Homogeneous Mixtures: Components are uniformly distributed (e.g., saltwater solution).
    • Heterogeneous Mixtures: Components are not uniformly distributed (e.g., sand and water).

States of Matter

  • Solids: Definite shape and volume, particles are tightly packed.
  • Liquids: Indefinite shape, definite volume, particles are close together but can move.
  • Gases: Indefinite shape and volume, particles are far apart and move freely.

Energy

  • Kinetic Energy (KE): Energy of motion.
  • Potential Energy (PE): Stored energy due to position or composition.
  • Exothermic Reactions: Release energy to the surroundings.
  • Endothermic Reactions: Absorb energy from the surroundings.

Temperature and Heat

  • Temperature measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.
  • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy due to a temperature difference.
  • Temperature scales include Celsius, Fahrenheit, and Kelvin.

Specific Heat Capacity

  • Specific heat capacity is the amount of energy needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of substance by 1 °C.
  • Different substances have different specific heat capacities.
  • Heat = Mass × Specific Heat Capacity × Temperature Change
