Study Notes

What is Matter?

Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass.
Examples include: phone, laptop, water, air.

Panch Tatva (Five Elements)

Ancient Indian philosophers identified five fundamental elements:
- Air
- Earth
- Fire
- Sky
- Water

Properties of Matter

Matter is made of particles with space between them.
These particles are constantly in motion.
Particles of matter attract each other.

States of Matter

The state of matter depends on particle spacing, kinetic energy, and force of attraction.
Solid: Low space, low kinetic energy, high force of attraction
Liquid: Medium space, medium kinetic energy, medium force of attraction
Gas: High space, high kinetic energy, low force of attraction

Solid

Has a definite shape and distinct boundaries.
Negligible compressibility.

Effect of Temperature Change on Solids

Increasing temperature reduces force of attraction, increases particle movement, and expands space.
Solid to Liquid (Melting): Heat added, particles move more freely.
Liquid to Gas (Evaporation): Continued heating, particles break free from liquid and become gas.

Effect of Pressure Change

Solid CO2 (Dry Ice) to Gas (Sublimation): Increases in pressure can transform a solid directly into a gas.
Gas to Solid (Deposition): Decreases in pressure can transform a gas directly into a solid.

Liquification of Gas

Decreasing temperature and increasing pressure can liquify a gas.

Change in Matter

Gas to Plasma (Ionization): Increasing temperature ionizes gas molecules, creating plasma.
Plasma is a 4th state of matter.
The 5th state of matter is Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC).
Occurs at extremely low temperatures (near absolute zero).
Predicted by S.N Bose and Albert Einstein.
First observed in 1995 by Eric Cornell using Rubidium 87 atoms.

Favourable Conditions for Evaporation

Factors that increase the rate of evaporation:
- Increased temperature.
- Increased surface area.
- Increased wind speed.
Factors that decrease the rate of evaporation:
- Increased humidity.

Classification of Matter

Pure Substance: Composed of only one type of particle, uniform composition and properties.
- Examples: sugar crystal, iron piece, salt, distilled water.
Impure Substance (Mixture): Composed of two or more different types of particles, non-uniform composition.
- Example: lemonade
Element: Basic form of matter, cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- Example: Iron rod, Hydrogen (H2).
Compound: Made up of two or more elements chemically bonded together, can be broken down into simpler substances.
- Example: Water (H2O)
Mixture: Two or more substances physically combined, not chemically bonded, have no fixed composition.
- Examples: sand and water, salt and pepper.

Types of Mixtures

Homogeneous Mixture (Solution): Uniform composition throughout, small particle size (A nm diameter).
- Examples: sugar in water, salt in water, alloys.
Heterogeneous Mixture (Suspension): Non-uniform composition, larger particle size (>10 nm diameter).
- Examples: sand in water, milk.

Tyndall Effect

The scattering of light by particles in a mixture.
Homogeneous mixtures: Do not scatter light.
Heterogeneous mixtures: Scatter light.

Concentration of Solution

Solute: Substance dissolved in a solution.
Solvent: Substance that dissolves the solute.
Saturated Solution: Maximum amount of solute dissolved in the solvent.
Concentrated Solution: More solute than solvent.
Dilute Solution: More solvent than solute.

Concentration Calculation (Mass by Percent)

Mass by % = (Mass of Solute/Mass of Solution) x 100

Colloidal Solution

Mixture with particle size between 1 nm and 10 nm.
Appear homogeneous but are actually heterogeneous.
Examples: milk, starch solution.
Exhibit the Tyndall Effect.

Separation of Components of a Mixture

Evaporation: Separating a solid from a liquid by heating the liquid.
Chromatography: Separating components based on differences in their affinity for a stationary phase.
- Example: separating dyes from ink, isolating drugs from blood.
Centrifugation: Separating components based on their density.
- Example: separating cream from milk.
Sublimation: Separating a solid from a mixture by heating it directly into a gas.
- Example: separating ammonium chloride from salt.
Separating Funnel: Separating two immiscible liquids.
- Example: separating oil from water.
Distillation: Separating two miscible liquids with significantly different boiling points.
- Example: separating acetone from water.
Fractional Distillation: Separating two miscible liquids with boiling points less than 25K apart.
- Example: separating components of air.

Physical Changes

Changes in form, but not in chemical identity.
Reversible.
Examples: melting, shredding, boiling, chopping.

Chemical Changes

Changes in chemical identity, forming new products.
Usually irreversible (cannot be undone easily).
Examples: combustion, rotting, rusting, digestion.

Burning of a Candle

Involves both physical changes (melting of wax) and chemical changes (wax reacting with oxygen to produce CO2 and H2O).

Behaviour Uniformity of Gases

10% glucose solution: 10g of glucose is dissolved in 100g of solution.
- This means 10g of glucose is dissolved in 90g of water.

Water

Water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen through chemical methods.

Brass

A homogeneous mixture (alloy) of molten copper in solid zinc.

Sugar Solution

Solute: Sugar.
Solvent: Water.

Blood and Seawater

Heterogeneous mixtures.

Cooking and Digestion

Both are chemical changes.

Thread

Made through a chemical change.
Wax: A physical change.
