Download Matter and Energy Notes

Chapter 3

Matter – anything that has mass and takes up space
 Everything around us
 Mass: measurement that reflects the amount of matter
(usually in grams)
 Volume: the amount of space something takes up

Chemistry – the study of matter and the changes it
undergoes

Solids
 particles vibrate but can’t move around
 fixed shape
 fixed volume
 incompressible

Liquids
 particles can move around but
are still close together
 variable shape
 fixed volume
 Virtually incompressible

Gases
 particles can separate and move




throughout container
variable shape
variable volume
Easily compressed
Vapor = gaseous state of a substance
that is a liquid or solid at room
temperature

Plasma
 atoms collide with enough energy to break into
charged particles (+/-)
 gas-like, variable
shape & volume
 stars, fluorescent
light bulbs, TV tubes
II. Properties & Changes in Matter (p.73-79)
Extensive vs. Intensive
Physical vs. Chemical

Physical Property
 can be observed & measured without changing
the identity of the substance

Physical properties can be described as one of
2 types:

Extensive Property
 depends on the amount of matter present
(example: length, mass, volume)

Intensive Property
 depends on the identity of substance, not the
amount (example: scent, density, melting point)
Derived units = Combination of
base units
 Volume (m3 or cm3 or mL)

 length  length  length
 Or measured using a graduated
cylinder
 Density (kg/m3 or g/cm3 or
g/mL)
mass per volume
1 cm3 = 1 mL
1 dm3 = 1 L
M
D=
V

Chemical Property
 describes the ability of a substance to be observed
reacting with or changing into another substance

Examples:
 melting point
physical
 flammable
chemical
 density

 magnetic

 tarnishes in air
chemical

Physical Change
 changes the form of a substance without
changing its identity
 properties remain the same

Examples: cutting a sheet of paper, breaking
a crystal, all phase changes
Evaporation =
Liquid -> Gas
Condensation =
Gas -> Liquid

Melting =
Solid -> Liquid
Freezing =

Temperature vs. Time
Q = mol x ΔHvapor

Q = mol x ΔHfusion
Solid & liquid
Solid only, Q = m ΔT Cpsolid

Liquid only
Q= m ΔT Cpliquid

Process that involves one or more substances
changing into a new substance
 Commonly referred to as a chemical reaction
 New substances have different compositions and
properties from original substances
 Reaction involves reactants reacting to
produce products

Signs of a Chemical Change
 change in color or odor
 formation of a gas (bubbles)
 formation of a precipitate (solid)
 change in light or heat

Examples:
 rusting iron
chemical
 dissolving in water
physical
 burning a log
chemical
 melting ice
physical
 grinding spices
physical
Exothermic- heat energy EXITS the system
 surroundings usually feel warmer
 1 g H2O (g)  1 g H2O (l) + 2260 J
 ex. Combustion, evaporation of water
Endothermic- heat energy ENTERS the system
- heat absorbed from surroundings
- surroundings usually feel cooler
- 1 g H2O (s) + 333 J  1 g H2O (l)
- 1 g H2O (l) + 2260 J  1 g H2O (g)
- ex. Cold packs, melting ice

Although chemical changes occur, mass is
neither created nor destroyed in a chemical
reaction
Mass of reactants equals mass of products
massreactants = massproducts


Element
 composed of one type of identical atoms
 EX: copper wire, aluminum foil

Compound
 composed of 2 or more elements in a
fixed ratio (bonded together)
 properties differ from those of
individual elements
 EX: table salt (NaCl)

Variable combination of 2 or more pure
substances, each retains its chemical identity &
properties.
Heterogeneous
Homogeneous

Homogeneous: are uniform throughout
 Solutions
 very small particles
 particles don’t settle
 EX: rubbing alcohol, gasoline, soda

Heterogeneous
 medium-sized to
large-sized particles
 particles may or may
not settle
 EX: milk, freshsqueezed
lemonade

1. Metals: usually solid, good conductors of
heat/electricity, malleable, and ductile

2. Nonmetals: solid, liquid or gas, brittle,
poor conductors

3. Metalloids: transition between metals and
nonmetals, semiconductors

Atom:
 Composed of protons, electrons, and neutrons
 Smallest particle of matter that can be identified
as one element

Molecules:
 A collection of atoms chemically bonded together
 May be element or compound

Electron:
 Negative charge
 Used in bonding (very mobile)

Proton:
 Positive charge
 Located in nucleus
 Determine identity of atom

Neutron
 Neutral (no charge)
 Helps determine mass of the atom
 Located in nucleus

Separation Methods
Ways to separate mixtures – Chapter 3: Matter
& Its Properties
+
Separating Mixtures

Substances in a mixture are physically combined, so
processes bases on differences in physical properties are
used to separate component

Numerous techniques have been developed to separate
mixtures to study components

Visually

Magnetism

Filtration

Distillation

Crystallization

Chromatography
+
Filtration

Used to separate heterogeneous mixtures
composed of solids and liquids

Uses a porous barrier to separate the solid
from the liquid

Liquid passes through leaving the solid in the
filter paper
+
Distillation

Used to separate
homogeneous mixtures

Based on differences in
boiling points of substances
involved
+
Crystallization

Separation technique that results in
the formation of pure solid
particles from a solution containing
the dissolved substance

As one substance evaporates, the
dissolved substance comes out of
solution and collects as crystals

Produces highly pure solids

Rocky candy is an example of this
+
Chromatography

Separates components of a mixture based
on ability of each component to be drawn
across the surface of another material

Mixture is usually liquid and is usually
drawn across chromatography paper

Separation occurs because various
components travel at different rates

Components with strongest attraction for
paper travel the slowest
