Study Notes
Matter and Mixtures
- Matter has mass and occupies space (volume).
- Matter can be categorized as either a pure substance or a mixture.
- Pure substances are further classified into elements and compounds.
- Mixtures are combinations of two or more pure substances not chemically bonded.
Mixture Separation Methods
- Filtration: Separates mixtures based on particle size differences.
- Distillation: Separates mixtures based on differences in boiling points.
- Centrifuging: Separates mixtures based on differing densities.
- Magnetism: Separates magnetic materials (iron, cobalt, nickel).
- Chromatography: Separates mixtures based on differences in polarity.
Properties of Matter
-
Physical Properties: Characteristics that describe a substance without changing its identity.
- Examples: taste, smell, molar mass, density, melting point, boiling point, freezing point.
-
Chemical Properties: Describe a substance's reactivity with other substances.
- Examples: reactivity with oxygen, acids, bases; ability to burn.
Density
- Density is calculated as mass divided by volume (D = m/v).
Compounds
- A compound is formed when two or more different elements chemically bond together.
- The Law of Constant Composition states that a specific compound always contains the same elements in a fixed ratio.
Diatomic Elements
- Seven elements exist as diatomic molecules: bromine (Br₂), iodine (I₂), nitrogen (N₂), chlorine (Cl₂), hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), and fluorine (F₂).
Mixtures
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Composition is not uniform throughout.
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Composition is uniform throughout.
Prefixes
- Kilo (k): 103
- Centi (c): 10-2
- Milli (m): 10-3
Significant Figures (Sig Figs)
- Addition/Subtraction: The result can't have more decimal places than the measurement with the fewest decimal places.
- Multiplication/Division: The result can't have more significant figures than the measurement with the fewest significant figures.
