Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solids have closely packed particles held by strong attractive forces, allowing only vibrational movement.
- Liquids consist of loosely packed particles with weaker attractive forces than solids, allowing for more movement.
- Gases contain particles that are not fixed in position due to high kinetic energy, moving randomly in all directions.
- Plasma is an ionized gaseous state, where atoms lose electrons, forming positive ions and negative electrons; examples include ionized neon gas in signs and natural phenomena like auroras.
Gas vs. Vapor
- Gas refers to substances in a gaseous state at room temperature, such as helium, carbon dioxide, air, and ozone.
- Vapor is the gaseous form of substances that are typically solid or liquid at room temperature, encompassing substances like fog, gasoline fumes, and perfume chemicals.
Factors Influencing State Changes
- Matter changes states due to the addition or removal of energy.
- Temperature and pressure can cause phase transitions, like boiling water.
Properties of Matter
- Physical Properties: Observable characteristics not altering the substance's composition, including length, mass, density, and color.
- Chemical Properties: Characteristics displayed when a substance changes composition, such as flammability, acidity, and reactivity.
Intensive vs. Extensive Properties
- Intensive Properties: Do not depend on the sample amount, e.g., boiling point and color.
- Extensive Properties: Depend on the sample amount, e.g., volume and mass.
Changes in Matter
- Physical Change: Alters properties without changing the substance's identity; can be reversible or irreversible.
- Chemical Change: Transforms materials into new substances with different properties.
Classifications of Matter
- Mixtures: Physical combinations of two or more substances without chemical bonding.
- Homogeneous Mixtures: Uniform composition, indistinguishable components, e.g., solutions.
- Heterogeneous Mixtures: Non-uniform composition, distinguishable components, e.g., suspensions and colloids.
Solutions and Components
- Solute: The substance that is being dissolved.
- Solvent: The liquid that dissolves the solute.
Types of Mixtures
- Suspensions: Heterogeneous mixtures with large visible particles that settle over time, e.g., muddy water.
- Colloids: Heterogeneous mixtures with small, suspended particles that do not settle, e.g., milk.
- Coarse Mixtures: Heterogeneous mixtures with easily separable particles, e.g., salads.
Simple Separation Techniques
- Magnetic Separation: Uses a magnet to separate magnetic from non-magnetic substances.
- Filtration: Separates liquids from solids, with solids remaining on the filter and liquids passing through.
- Decantation: Separates immiscible liquids or solids from liquids in suspensions.
- Evaporation: Uses boiling to vaporize the solvent, leaving behind the solute.
- Distillation: Involves boiling a mixture to create vapor, which is then condensed back into liquid, yielding distillates and residues.
- Chromatography: Separates components in a liquid mixture through differential movement.
