Study Notes
Matter and Its States
- Matter is characterized by having both mass and volume.
- States of matter include:
- Solid: Strongest force of attraction. Examples: tables, chairs.
- Liquid: Takes shape of the container. Examples: water, oil.
- Gas: Weakest force of attraction. Examples: smoke, air.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Include density, melting point, boiling point, and freezing point.
- Chemical Properties: Include oxidation state, flammability, and corrosiveness.
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the amount of substance. Examples: weight, volume, length.
- Intensive Properties: Depend on the substance's nature. Examples: luster, color.
Physical Changes of States
- Sublimation: Transition from solid to gas (e.g., dry ice).
- Evaporation: Liquid to gas change.
- Condensation: Gas transforming into a liquid.
- Freezing: Liquid becoming a solid.
- Melting: Solid turning into a liquid.
- Deposition: Gas changing directly to a solid.
Boiling Point
- Boiling point of water: 100° C (212° F, 373.15 Kelvin).
- Boiling point is classified as a physical intensive property.
Separation of Mixtures
- Distillation: Separates liquids with different boiling points.
- Evaporation: Removes a solid from a liquid.
- Filtration: Separates larger particles from smaller ones.
- Paper Chromatography: Components of mixtures separate based on differing travel rates on paper.
- Centrifugation: Used for diagnosing blood and urine samples.
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Also known as solutions; have uniform composition. Examples: air, seawater, vinegar.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Not uniformly distributed. Examples: mixed nuts, salads.
Precision and Accuracy
- Precision: Consistency of repeated measurements.
- Accuracy: Closeness of a measured value to the true value.
- Positive Error: Measured values exceed expected values.
- Negative Error: Measured values fall below expected values.
- Percent Error: Indicates the accuracy of experimental values.
- Random Errors: Can be reduced by taking repeated measurements.
Significant Figures
- Non-zero digits are always significant.
- Zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
- Trailing zeros not following a decimal are not significant.
- Zeros to the right of a decimal point in numbers greater than one are significant.
- Significant figures in multiplication/division: result adheres to the measurement with the least significant figures.
Laws of Matter
- Law of Conservation of Mass: Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions; mass of reactants equals mass of products.
- The properties of an atom of one element differ from those of different elements.
Isotopes and Atomic Structure
- Isotopes: Same atomic number, different mass number.
- Atomic Number: The number of protons in an atom.
- Mass Number: Sum of protons and neutrons (mass number = protons + neutrons).
- Neutrons Calculation: Neutrons = mass number - protons.
Ions
- Cation: Positively charged ion.
- Anion: Negatively charged ion.
Chemical Formulas
- Molecular Formula: Indicates types and quantities of atoms in a molecule.
- Structural Formula: Represents atom arrangement through drawings.
- Empirical Formula: Shows the smallest whole number ratio of atoms present.
