Study Notes
Phase Changes
- Matter changes phase when heated or cooled, but the temperature remains constant during the phase change.
- The temperature at which a substance changes phase is a critical property for identification and purity determination.
- The melting point is used to assess the purity of substances.
Chemical Symbols
- Elements are represented by symbols.
- Symbols are derived from the Latin name of the element and typically consist of one or two letters.
- Lead, for example, is represented by the symbol Pb (derived from the Latin word "plumbum").
The Periodic Table
- The periodic table organizes elements based on their atomic number.
- Metals are located on the left side of the periodic table, while non-metals are positioned on the right.
- The border between metals and non-metals is occupied by semi-metals (metalloids).
Types of Matter
- Matter is classified into two primary categories: pure substances and mixtures.
- Pure substances encompass elements and compounds.
- Mixtures consist of two or more pure substances.
Types of Mixtures
- Homogeneous mixtures, also known as solutions, have a uniform composition throughout.
- Heterogeneous mixtures, which include suspensions and mechanical mixtures, exhibit non-uniform composition.
Separation Techniques
- Different techniques are used to separate mixtures based on their properties.
- Suspensions tend to separate naturally unless an emulsifier is present, as seen in the separation of oil and water.
- Distillation is a technique utilized to separate solutions based on the disparity in boiling points of the components.
Summary Diagram of Matter
- Matter can be categorized into:
- Pure Substance
- Element
- Compound
- Mixture
- Homogeneous Mixture
- Heterogeneous Mixture
- Pure Substance
Visual Representation
- Elements and compounds have distinct molecular arrangements, reflecting their composition and mixture types.
What is Matter?
- Matter is defined as anything that possesses mass and volume.
- All objects, except for energy, are considered matter.
Matter is Conserved
- The Law of Conservation of Matter states that matter cannot be created or destroyed during a chemical reaction.
- In chemical reactions, atoms rearrange, but the total mass of the reactants and products remains constant.
Illustration
- In chemical changes, mass is conserved. No matter the scale of the reaction, mass is neither gained nor lost.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in three common states:
- Solid: particles are rigidly arranged in a regular pattern, vibrating in place.
- Liquid: particles are free to move around, but not beyond each other.
- Gas: particles can move freely in any direction.
- All matter can transition between these states by adding or removing energy.
- Plasma, a fourth state of matter, is a highly ionized gas composed of charged particles.
Phase Changes
- Matter can transition between the four common phases by adding or removing energy, a process called phase change.
- Each phase change is uniquely named, depending on whether energy is added or removed.
