Study Notes
Matter and Properties
- Matter occupies space and has mass, with a definite composition consisting of one type of particle.
- Pure substances can be classified into elements and compounds based on atom types.
- Elements are the simplest form of matter, cannot be broken down by chemical means.
- Compounds are combinations of two or more elements and can be decomposed into their constituent elements chemically.
Classification of Matter
- Mixtures can be classified based on uniformity into homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures.
- Homogeneous mixtures have consistent composition throughout; an example is a solution.
- Heterogeneous mixtures exhibit non-uniform composition; examples include colloids and suspensions.
- Colloids scatter light and have intermediate particle sizes between 1 and 1000 nanometers.
- Suspensions contain larger particles that can settle out and typically do not scatter light.
Techniques for Separating Mixtures
- Magnetic separation utilizes magnets to extract metals from mixtures, e.g., iron filings and sulfur powder.
- Centrifugation separates materials based on density, with denser particles moving outward.
- Chromatography employs liquid solvents to segregate components within a mixture.
Scientific Notation
- Scientific notation conveys very large or small numbers using powers of ten.
- It consists of three main parts: coefficient (a number between 1 and 10), base (10), and exponent (indicates how many places the decimal moves).
- Converting standard form to scientific notation involves adjusting the decimal to create a valid coefficient.
- Large numbers yield positive exponents, while small numbers yield negative exponents.
Calculations in Scientific Notation
- In addition or subtraction, the final result should have the least number of decimal places among inputs.
- For multiplication or division, the number of significant figures in the final answer should match the input with the least significant figures.
- Percent accuracy is calculated using the percentage of a mean value against a standard value.
Precision and Error
- Precision indicates how closely observed values agree with one another.
- Percent error quantifies the difference between the standard and observed values based on their deviation.
