Study Notes
Classification of Matter
- Matter is classified into substances (elements and compounds) and mixtures.
Substance
- A substance is defined as either an element (uniform atoms) or a compound (two or more elements in a fixed ratio).
Mixture
- Mixtures consist of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means.
Types of Mixtures
- Heterogeneous mixtures contain distinguishable materials.
- Homogeneous mixtures, also known as solutions, have components that are evenly blended.
Properties of Mixtures
- Colloids have larger particles that do not settle, demonstrating the Tyndall effect by scattering light.
- Suspensions contain visible particles that settle out over time.
Physical Properties
- Characteristics observable without altering the substance, including color, shape, size, melting point, and boiling point.
Changes in Matter
- Physical changes alter size, shape, or state but do not change the identity of the substance.
- Examples of physical changes include freezing or distillation.
Chemical Properties
- Indicate a substance's potential for chemical change, such as flammability or reactivity to light.
Chemical Changes
- Occur when substances transform into different substances, often evidenced by changes in temperature, smell, or bubbling.
Weathering
- The weathering process of Earth's surface involves both physical changes (like rock fragmentation) and chemical changes (like acid rain reactions).
Conservation of Mass
- According to the law of conservation of mass, total mass remains constant before and after a chemical change.
Particles of Matter
- All substances are composed of atoms, the fundamental building blocks.
Solutions
- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures where the particles are too small to be seen and do not settle.
Behavior of Light in Mixtures
- A beam of light is visible in a colloid but not in a solution.
Characteristics of Mixtures
- Colloids and suspensions both scatter light.
- Smoke exemplifies a heterogeneous mixture that is also classified as a colloid.
Mass and Changes
- Mass is conserved during physical and chemical changes, meaning it is not lost, as evidenced in events like an exploding firecracker.
