Study Notes
States of Matter
- Gaseous state: no definite shape or volume.
- Liquid state: definite volume but no definite shape.
- Solid state: both definite volume and shape.
- Matter: anything that possesses mass and volume.
Changes in Matter
- Physical changes: alterations that do not affect the chemical composition.
- Examples: boiling water, ironing a shirt, evaporating alcohol.
- Sugar dissolving in coffee is a physical change.
- Chemical changes: transformations that result in new chemical substances.
- Examples: cooking an egg, burning gasoline, fermentation of fruit juice.
- Metal rusting is a chemical change.
Properties of Substances
- Chemical properties: characteristics that involve chemical reactions.
- Gold is considered nonreactive (inert).
- A chemical change can result in substances with different properties.
- Physical properties: characteristics identifiable without changing the substance.
- Water’s boiling point (100°C) is a physical property.
Classifications of Matter
- Pure substances: materials with uniform composition, such as elements and compounds.
- Elements: pure substances that cannot be broken down; examples include aluminum and oxygen.
- Compounds: substances formed from chemical combinations of elements; examples include water (H2O) and ammonia (NH3).
- Mixtures: combinations of two or more substances that maintain their individual properties; can be homogeneous (uniform composition) or heterogeneous (distinct components).
Processes and Characteristics
- Filtration: method for separating solids from liquids.
- Distillation: process typically involving the conversion of a liquid to gas and back, used to separate components based on differences in boiling points.
- Molecules in different states of water:
- Solid: molecules close and rigid.
- Liquid: molecules close yet mobile.
- Gas: molecules far apart and move freely.
True/False Statements
- An element can consist only of single atoms: False (can form diatomic molecules).
- A solid substance is matter: False (solid substances are indeed matter).
- Juice freezing is a physical change: True.
- Boiling water involves a chemical change: False (it’s a physical change).
Additional Notes
- Compounds have a constant composition, while mixtures can vary.
- Homogeneous mixtures are also known as solutions.
- Only burning a substance constitutes a chemical change, while melting or boiling involves physical changes.
