Each substance has a set of properties that are characteristic and give it a unique identity. Properties are classified as either physical or chemical. Physical properties are inherent characteristics that can be determined without altering the composition. Examples include: color taste odor state of matter density melting point boiling point Properties of Substances © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Chemical properties describe the ability of a substance to either undergo a reaction with another substance or to decompose. Consider chlorine (Cl 2 ). Physical Properties: 4 times heavier than air, a gas at room temperature, greenish-yellow in color, bad odor. Chemical Change: 2 Na (s) + Cl 2 (g) 2 NaCl (s) Properties of Substances © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

No two substances have identical physical and chemical properties! Properties of Substances © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Physical changes are changes in physical properties (such as size and density) or changes in states of matter without a change in composition. No new substances are formed during a physical change! Sawing wood is a physical change – the wood changes shape, but the resulting pieces are still wood! Physical and Chemical Changes © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

In a chemical change, new substances are formed that have different properties and composition from the original material. When copper metal (Cu) is heated in air, the shiny metal turns black as copper(II) oxide is formed on the surface. 2 Cu (s) + O 2 (g) 2 CuO (s)   represents heat Physical and Chemical Changes © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

A chemical equation is used to represent chemical change. For example, water decomposes into its elements when electrolyzed. 2 H 2 O (l) 2 H 2 (g) + O 2 (g) means “produces”; points towards products the starting substances (in this case 2 H 2 O)reactants the substances formed (in this case 2 H 2 + O 2 )products A physical change usually accompanies a chemical change.

To succeed in chemistry, you must learn to solve complicated problems. Read the problem carefully and determine what is known and desired. Use units! READ Determine the unit relationships needed to solve the problem. Set up the problem so that the units cancel correctly. PLAN Do the math. Make sure the answer contains the proper units and significant figures. CALCULATE Check the answer — is it reasonable?CHECK Learning to Solve Problems © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Energy is the capacity of matter to do work. There are many types of energy including mechanical, chemical, electrical and nuclear energy. Potential energy (PE) is stored energy, the energy an object possesses due to its position. A ball located 20 feet above the ground has more PE than when it is located 10 feet above the ground. A diver poised on a diving board has a large amount of PE. When the diver leaves the board, the energy is converted. Energy © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Kinetic energy (KE) is energy that matter possesses due to its motion. When water held by a dam is released, its PE converts to KE which can be used to produce electricity. Energy can be converted from one form to another. In chemistry, energy is most frequently released as heat. Energy © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

The SI unit for energy is the joule (J). The energy required to change the temperature of 1 g of water by 1 °C is J J = 1 calorie Nutritional calories are actually kilocalories (kcal) and are represented with a capital C. Heat and temperature are different concepts. Imagine two beakers containing water. In each, the temperature is raised by 30 °C. The beaker containing twice the water requires twice the heat to reach the same temperature. Heat: Quantitative Measurement © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Methane (CH 4 ) is the major compound in natural gas. Using the reaction below, determine the amount of energy produced during combustion (in calories). CH 4 (g) + 2 O 2 (g) CO 2 (g) + 2 H 2 O (g) kJ J = 1 cal 1000 J = 1 kJ Knowns Solving for calories Calculate = x 10 5 cal 1000 J 1 kJ kJ x 1 cal J x Let’s Practice! © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

Every substance has a characteristic heat capacity. The specific heat of a substance is the amount of heat (gained or lost) required to change the temperature of 1 g of the material by 1 °C. The specific heat of water is much higher than most substances. Heat: Quantitative Measurement © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

When an object is heated or cooled, the amount of energy transferred depends on three things: 1.The amount of material 2.The magnitude of the temperature change 3.The identity of the material gaining or losing energy The following equation can be used to calculate heat: q is heat m is mass C is specific heat capacity  T is change in temperature q = mC  T Specific Heat Capacity © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

How much heat is needed to raise the temperature of 200. g of water by 10.0 °C? m = 200. g C = J/g°C  T = 10.0 °C Knowns Solving For q Calculate q = (200. g)(4.184 J/g°C)(10.0 °C) q = mC  T = 8.37 x 10 3 J Specific Heat Capacity © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Calculate the specific heat (J/g°C) of an unknown if 1638 J raises the temperature of 125 g from 25.0 °C to 52.6 °C. q = 1638 J m = 125 g  T = 52.6 °C – 25.0 °C = 27.6 °C Knowns Solving For C Calculate C = q = mC  T = J/g°C C = mTmT q 1638 J (125 g)(27.6 °C) Specific Heat Capacity © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

All chemical reactions either absorb or release energy. Chemical changes can produce different kinds of energy, like electrical energy in a lead storage battery or heat and light when fuel undergoes combustion. Chemical changes can also use energy, such as the electricity used to decompose water or the solar energy used by plants during photosynthesis.

Energy can be changed from one form to another or from one substance to another. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can be neither created nor destroyed. When water decomposes, energy is absorbed by the system so H 2 and O 2 have higher potential energy. When hydrogen (H 2 ) is used as a fuel, energy is released and water (the product) has lower potential energy. Conservation of Energy © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Energy comes from many sources, including petroleum, coal and woody plants, all derived from the sun. We use petroleum deposits in the forms of gasoline and natural gas. Petroleum is composed of hydrocarbons, compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen in differing ratios. Energy in the Real World © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

Natural gas consists mainly of methane (CH 4 ) with small amounts of ethane, propane and butane mixed in. Coal is formed from plant remains stored under high pressure for many years. The higher the carbon content, the more energy available in the coal. Energy in the Real World © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.

To keep up with increasing energy demands, new renewable energy sources are necessary. Potential resources include solar, nuclear, biomass, wind and synthetic fuels. solar wind biomass The Energy Crisis © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. All rights reserved.
