Study Notes
Matter and its Properties
- Matter is anything that has mass and volume and inertia.
- Pure Substances consist of only one type of particle (atom or molecule). These can be elements or compounds.
- Elements contain only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- Compounds are single types of molecules formed from different types of atoms.
- Mixtures are impure substances where two or more compounds are not chemically bonded together.
- Homogeneous Mixtures have evenly distributed particles, making the different particle types indistinguishable.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures have unevenly distributed particles, the different components can be observed.
Physical Properties
- Qualitative physical properties can be observed and described but not measured:
- Color
- State (solid, liquid, gas)
- Texture
- Lustre (shininess)
- Optical clarity (transparency)
- Malleability (ability to be hammered into sheets)
- Ductility (ability to be drawn into wires)
- Quantitative physical properties can be measured:
- Boiling point
- Melting point
- Height/length/width
- Viscosity (thickness, high viscosity = thicker like honey)
- Solubility (ability to dissolve, usually in water)
- Hardness (resistance to scratching)
- Conductivity (ability to conduct heat or electricity)
- Density (mass/volume, usually g/cm³)
Phase Changes
- Phase changes involve transitions between states of matter:
- Sublimation: solid to gas
- Deposition: gas to solid
- Evaporation: liquid to gas
- Condensation: gas to liquid
- Melting: solid to liquid
- Freezing: liquid to solid
Calculations
- Density (D) = Mass (M) / Volume (V)
- Mass (M) = Density (D) * Volume (V)
- Volume (V) = Mass (M) / Density (D)
- Units matter! (e.g., g/cm³, g, cm³)
Chemical Properties
- Chemical properties describe a substances ability to react with other substances to form new substances.
- Examples include:
- Reactivity with oxygen (oxidation)
- Reactivity with acids/bases (acidity/basicity)
- Combustibility
- Stability
- Toxicity
- Flammability
- Radioactivity
Changes in Matter
- Physical change: A change in appearance/state that doesn't form new substances. Usually reversible.
- Chemical change: A change that forms one or more new substances. Usually not reversible.
Evidence of Chemical Change
- Color change
- Formation of a new solid (precipitate)
- Production of a gas (bubbling, odor change)
- Production of a new odor
- Absorption or release of heat/light (energy change)
- Difficulty reversing the change
Types of Chemical Reactions
-
Synthesis: Two or more substances combine to form a more complex substance (A + B → AB).
-
Decomposition: A complex substance breaks down into simpler substances (AB → A + B).
-
Single Displacement: One element replaces another element in a compound (AC + B → BC + A).
-
Double Displacement: Two elements in different compounds switch places (AC + BD → AD + BC)
-
Combustion: A substance reacts with oxygen, frequently producing energy, CO2, and Water (CH₄ + 2O₂ → CO₂ + 2H₂O). (Complete vs Incomplete) (Multiple examples provided)
-
Neutralization: An acid and base react to form a salt and water, often resulting in a pH closer to neutral (HA + BOH → AB + HOH). (Multiple examples provided)
