Study Notes
Introduction
- Matter is anything with mass and occupies space.
- Studying matter's properties is crucial in various fields like chemistry, physics, and engineering.
- Matter exists in various states: solid, liquid, and gas (and less common states).
- Understanding matter helps manipulate and apply it practically.
Particulate Nature of Matter
- Matter is made of tiny particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).
- These particles are constantly in motion.
- The forces between particles vary in strength, affecting the state of matter.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three primary states:
- Solid: Particles are tightly packed, fixed shape and volume.
- Liquid: Particles are close together but can move, definite volume, no fixed shape.
- Gas: Particles are far apart and move rapidly, no fixed shape or volume, expand to fill container.
Physical Properties
- Characteristics observed without changing the substance's identity.
- Color: Copper sulfate is blue, iron is metallic gray.
- Density: Mass per unit volume, e.g., gold is denser than wood.
- Melting and Boiling Points: Temperatures at which a substance changes state.
- Solubility: How well a substance dissolves in a solvent (e.g., salt dissolves in water).
- State of Matter: Solid, liquid, gas.
- Texture: How something feels to the touch (e.g., smooth, rough).
- Refractive Index: How much light bends passing through a substance.
- Electrical Conductivity: How well a substance can conduct electricity.
- Other Examples: Ability to decompose, reactivity with water, toxicity, acidity/alkalinity (pH).
Chemical Properties
- Characteristics observed during a chemical reaction.
- Reactivity with acids: Zinc reacts with acid to produce hydrogen gas.
- Flammability: Gasoline burns in the presence of oxygen.
- Oxidation: Iron reacts with oxygen and water to form rust.
- Reactivity with water: Sodium reacts explosively with water.
- Toxicity: Mercury is toxic.
- Acidity or Alkalinity (pH): Vinegar is an acid, ammonia is a base.
Extensive and Intensive Properties
- Extensive properties: Depend on the amount of matter (e.g., mass, volume, energy).
- Intensive properties: Independent of the amount of matter (e.g., density, temperature, color).
Classification of Matter
- Pure substances: Composed of one type of particle (element or compound).
-
Mixtures: Composed of two or more substances not chemically bonded.
- Homogeneous mixtures: Uniform composition throughout (e.g., saltwater).
- Heterogeneous mixtures: Non-uniform composition (e.g., salad).
Separation of Mixtures
- Methods to separate mixtures based on different properties:
- Filtration: Separating solids from liquids based on particle size.
- Distillation: Separating liquids based on their boiling points.
- Evaporation: Separating a solid from a dissolved solid by evaporation of the liquid.
- Chromatography: Separating substances in complex mixtures.
- Magnetic Separation: Separating magnetic materials from non-magnetic ones.
- Centrifugation: Separating components by density using rapid spinning.
- Handpicking: Separating components based on easily visible differences (size, color, etc).
- Sieving: Separating mixtures based on particle size by using a sieve (screen or mesh).
- Decantation: Separating liquids or solids based on density differences through pouring.
