Study Notes
States of Matter
- Solid has closely spaced atoms and retains a definite shape and volume.
- Gases lack both definite shape and volume, while liquids maintain a definite volume but have no fixed shape.
- Both solids and liquids are generally incompressible, contrasting with gases, which are compressible.
Solutions and Mixtures
- A solution is classified as a homogeneous mixture, meaning its composition is uniform throughout.
- Pure substances consist of only one type of atom or molecule, differing from mixtures which can contain varying compositions.
- Saltwater is classified as a homogeneous mixture, while raisin bran is a heterogeneous mixture.
Properties of Substances
- Physical properties are characteristics that can be observed without altering the substance's composition, like the odor of spearmint gum.
- Chemical properties, such as the tarnishing of a copper statue, involve changes in the substance's composition.
- Energy associated with motion is called kinetic energy, while energy linked to position is potential energy.
Energy Changes in Reactions
- An endothermic process absorbs heat energy, while its reverse process is exothermic, releasing heat energy.
Temperature Scales
- The conversion from Celsius to Kelvin can be achieved by adding 273 to the Celsius value; for example, -25°C equals 248 K.
- To convert Kelvin to Celsius, subtract 273 from the Kelvin value; thus, 335 K corresponds to 62°C.
