Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- Matter can be classified according to physical state and composition.
- Physical states include solid, liquid, and gas, influenced by kinetic energy which changes as temperature varies.
Kinetic Energy Fundamentals
- Kinetic energy (KE) is the energy possessed by moving objects.
- KE increases with an increase in speed and decreases with lower speed.
- Heating particles results in increased movement and KE, while cooling slows them down.
Observable Properties of States
Solid
- Has a fixed shape and volume; rigid structure.
- Particles are closely packed and vibrate around fixed positions.
- Little to no volume change under moderate pressure.
Liquid
- Shape is determined by the container; has a definite volume.
- Particles have some space between them and can move past one another.
- Can be compressed slightly by moderate pressure.
Gas
- Particles are widely spaced with significant free space.
- Occupies the entire volume of the container and can be compressed easily.
Phase Changes
- Melting (Fusion): Transition from solid to liquid when heat is applied.
- Freezing: Transition from liquid to solid when heat is released.
- Evaporation: Liquid becomes gas upon reaching boiling point due to heat absorption.
- Condensation: Gas turns into liquid when temperature decreases.
- Sublimation: Direct transition from solid to gas without becoming liquid.
- Deposition: Direct transition from gas to solid without becoming liquid.
Molecular Level of Water
- Water exists in three phases: solid (ice), liquid (water), and gas (vapor).
- Energy affects the arrangement and movement of molecules in different phases.
Atoms and Molecules
- Atoms are the smallest units of matter that maintain chemical properties.
- Molecules are formed when two or more atoms bond together.
Classifying Matter by Composition
- Pure Substances: Consist of only one type of matter with uniform composition (e.g., pure water, hydrogen gas).
-
Elements and Compounds:
- Elements: Basic forms of matter (e.g., sodium, chlorine).
- Compounds: Substances formed from two or more different elements (e.g., sodium chloride).
Mixtures
- Mixtures can be homogeneous (uniform composition, e.g., lemonade) or heterogeneous (not uniform, e.g., salad dressing).
- Always composed of two or more substances and can often be separated by physical means.
Separation Techniques
- Decantation: Separates liquid from solid by pouring off the liquid.
- Filtration: Uses filter paper to separate solids from liquids.
- Evaporation: Converts liquid to vapor leaving solids behind.
- Sifting/Sieving: Separates components based on size using a sieve.
- Using Magnets: Attracts magnetic materials from non-magnetic substances.
- Simple Distillation: Separates misible liquids based on boiling point differences.
- Fractional Distillation: Separates components of a mixture based on boiling points.
- Chromatography: Separates mixture colors by dissolving in a solvent.
Understanding these concepts offers a fundamental insight into the properties of matter and its transformations, essential for various scientific applications.
