Study Notes
Definition of Matter
- Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass.
- Mass measures the amount of matter contained within an object.
- Volume indicates the amount of space taken up by an object.
States of Matter
- Matter exists in various states, mainly solid, liquid, and gas.
- Solid water (ice) can change to liquid water when heated, demonstrating a physical change.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Can be observed without altering the substance's composition (e.g., shape, texture, density).
- Chemical Properties: Describe how a substance reacts to form new substances (e.g., flammability).
- Intensive Properties: Independent of the amount of substance (e.g., boiling point, density).
- Extensive Properties: Dependent on the amount of substance present (e.g., mass, volume).
Changes in Matter
- Physical Change: Alters physical appearance without changing composition (e.g., melting or freezing).
- Chemical Change: Involves a chemical reaction resulting in new substances (e.g., combustion).
Classifications of Matter
-
Pure Substances: Same properties and composition throughout (can be elements or compounds).
- Element: The simplest form of matter, not reducible (e.g., Na, Fe).
- Compound: Consists of two or more different elements chemically bonded (e.g., H2O, NaCl).
-
Mixtures: Combinations of pure substances with varying compositions.
- Homogeneous Mixture: Uniform composition, components not distinguishable (e.g., solutions like air, seawater).
- Heterogeneous Mixture: Distinct components visible, non-uniform composition (e.g., sand and water).
Separation Techniques
- Sieving: Separates mixtures based on particle size.
- Magnetic Attraction: Uses magnets to separate magnetic materials from non-magnetic materials.
- Evaporation: Liquid transforms to gas, leaving solids behind.
- Sublimation: Solid turns directly into gas upon heating.
-
Sedimentation & Decantation:
- Sedimentation allows particles to settle at the bottom of a liquid.
- Decantation involves pouring off liquid carefully to leave sediments behind.
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids using a porous barrier.
- Distillation: Separates components based on different boiling points through vaporization and condensation.
- Centrifugation: Uses centripetal force to separate substances by density.
- Chromatography: Separates components based on differing solubilities and affinities for stationary and mobile phases.
Practice Exercises
- Identification of Properties: Understanding various properties as physical or chemical, and intensive or extensive.
- Classify Matter: Distinguish between pure substances, elements, compounds, homogeneous mixtures, and heterogeneous mixtures.
