Chemistry
Describing Matter Matter – anything
that has a mass and takes up space. Air, plastic, metal
wood, glass, paper, and water are all matter.
Most matter exists in three states!
Solids – have a definite shape and volume. The atoms of solids are in a fixed
position and are closely packed together.
Liquids Liquids have a definite
volume but no shape of its own.
The atoms are free to move, which allow liquids to flow from place to place.
Gases
Gases – have no definite shape or volume. The atoms of gases spread apart filling
all the space available.
Melting
The change from a solid to a liquid is called melting. As a substance is melting, the particles
of a solid are vibrating so fast that they break free from their fixed position.
Freezing The change of state
from a liquid to a solid is called freezing. At its freezing
temperature, the particles of a liquid are moving so slowly they begin to solidify.
Gasoline freezes at -184 C
Vaporization Vaporization – liquid to
a gas Two types of
vaporization Evaporation –
vaporization that takes place on the surface of a liquid.
Boiling – occurs when liquid changes to a gas below its surface as well as at the surface.
Condensation
Gas turns into a liquid. Condensation occurs when particles in a gas lose enough energy to form a liquid.
Chemistry Chemistry is the
study of matter and how it changes. Iron changes to rust
in the presence of water and oxygen.
A pure substance is a single kind of matter that is pure, meaning it always has a specific makeup-or composition. The two types of pure substances are: Elements Compound
Compounds Elements are the simplest
substances. They are composed of just
one pure substance. A compound is a pure substance
made of two or more elements chemically combined in a set ratio. (It can be represented by a chemical formula). CO2 is the chemical formula
for the compound carbon dioxide.
C12H22O11 is the chemical formula for the compound table sugar.
Mixtures A mixture is made of two or more substances –
elements, compounds, or both that are together in the same place but are not chemically combined.
Mixtures can be separated by magnetic attraction, filtration, and vaporization.
Types of Mixtures Homogenous Mixture
– the substances are so evenly mixed that you cant see the different parts.
Heterogeneous Mixture – you can see the different parts. Salads and soil is examples of heterogeneous mixtures.
Solution a mixture of two or more substances that is identical
throughout can be physically separated composed of solutes and solvents
the substance in the smallest amount and the one that dissolves in the solvent
the substance in the larger
amount that dissolves the solute
Iced Tea Mix(solute)
Water(solvent)
Iced Tea(solution)
Salt water is considered a
solution. How
can it be physically separated?
Solubility the amount of solute that dissolves in a
certain amount of a solvent at a given temperature and pressure to produce a saturated solution
influenced by:
Temperature Pressure
Solids increased temperature causes them to be more soluble and vice versa
Gases increased temperature causes them to be less soluble and vice versa
Ex. Iced Coffee
Solids increased pressure has no effect on solubility
Gases increased pressure causes them to be more soluble and vice versa
Ex. Soda, “The Bends”
What do we call things that are not soluble?
Physical Change or Chemical Change?
Physical Change occurs when a substance changes in shape, size or state of matter BUT it remains the same substance.
Ex:Tearing a piece of paper, melting ice, evaporating alcohol, crushing chalk.
Phase changes are always PHYSICAL! What are the 6 phase changes?
Comparing Physical and Chemical Changes
Chemical Changes
Occurs when One or more substances combine or decompose to form a NEW substance. Elements combine and recombine, breaking and/or forming new bonds.
Ex: burning wood, baking bread, rusting metals, fire works exploding
4 Evidences of Chemical Changes
1. Color change2. Gas is produced
- bubbles, odor, explosion3. Temperature change
-Exothermic- Gives off Heat-Endothermic- Absorbs heat
4. Precipitation: a solid is formed
