Study Notes

Jello and Its Properties

Jello is classified as a mixture due to its physical composition, using ingredients that do not chemically combine.
The primary components of jello are boiled water and gelatin mix, requiring only these two ingredients for preparation.
Freezing jello is possible, but the process is time-consuming.

Mixing and Solubility

Adding excessive water to the gelatin mix can prevent complete dissolution of the mixture.
Alternative liquids, such as milk, can be used instead of water to create jello.

States of Matter

Solids have tightly packed atoms that do not allow movement, making them rigid and unyielding.
Liquids take the shape of their container with atoms that are close but not rigidly compact.
Gases consist of atoms that are spaced far apart, allowing them to move rapidly in all directions.

Definitions Relevant to Matter

Matter is defined as any physical substance with mass that occupies space.
A chemical reaction involves two different substances combining to form a new substance.
A physical change is a process used to separate different components within mixtures.

Key Properties of Matter

Density refers to the compactness of a substance, measured as mass per unit volume.
Flammability describes a substance's capability to ignite or burn.
Malleability is the ability of a material to be shaped without breaking.
Solubility pertains to the property of a substance to dissolve in a solvent.
Viscosity indicates the thickness and stickiness of a fluid, affecting its flow.
A colloid is a mixture with microscopic particles evenly dispersed, creating a uniform appearance.

Other Concepts

Rust forms on metals like iron due to oxidation in the presence of moisture, highlighting a chemical change.
Odor refers to a distinctive smell that can be characteristic of certain substances.
The principle of conservation of matter asserts that mass remains constant in a closed system without external forces.
Function refers to the inherent activity or purpose designed for an object or substance.
Properties of matter encompass various characteristics, including mass and volume measurement.
