Study Notes
Classifications of Matter
- Mixtures have varying compositions; pure substances possess uniform compositions.
- Heterogeneous mixtures allow identification of components; examples include garden salad and trail mix.
- Colloids appear homogeneous but are heterogeneous under tests; examples include milk and styling gel.
- Homogeneous mixtures (solutions) have uniform composition, such as brine and orange juice drink.
- Elements consist of only one kind of atom; examples include Darmstadtium (Ds) and Hydrogen (H).
- Compounds are made of molecules that combine 2 or more elements; examples include Aqua Fortis (HNCO₃) and water (H₂O).
Phases of Matter
- Solid: Defined shape, minimal molecular movement; example: diamond.
- Liquid: Molecular movement allows it to take the shape of its container; example: lemon juice.
- Gas: High molecular movement, behaves similarly to liquids; example: air.
- Sublimation: Solid transitions directly to gas without becoming liquid; example: frozen CO₂.
- Deposition: Gas molecules lose energy and form solids; example: water vapor forming snowflakes.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Property: Quantifiable characteristics assessed through measurement or the five senses; examples include mass, color, and length.
- Chemical Property: Characteristics assessed based on chemical structure and processes; examples include flammability and toxicity.
- Extensive Property: Properties dependent on amount of material, such as mass and volume.
- Intensive Property: Properties independent of material amount, like color and density.
Consumer Products
- Food Additives: Enhance flavor, appearance, and preserve food quality.
- Active Ingredients: Biologically active substances in pharmaceuticals and cleaning products.
- Cleaning Agents: Remove dirt and odor and may kill microorganisms.
- Cosmetics: Enhance appearance and fragrance of users.
- Plasma: High-energy state of matter where gas glows; example: neon lights.
Phase Transitions
- Melting: Adding heat to solid transforms it into liquid; example: melting iron bars.
- Evaporation: Heating liquid breaks bonds, turning it into gas; example: evaporating saltwater.
- Ionization: Heat adds energy to gas, creating ions; example: glowing neon gas.
- Recombination: Removing heat from plasma leads to gaseous state; example: cooling neon plasma.
- Condensation: Gas molecules lose energy, forming bonds to become liquid; example: water vapor condensing into clouds.
- Freezing: Removal of heat in liquids reform them into solids; example: liquid mercury solidifying with liquid nitrogen.
