Properties of matter and changes of matter Matter: anything that has mass and takes up space
Any substance that has a definite composition ◦ Always made of the same stuff in exactly the same proportions Examples: H 2 O, NaCl, C 12 H 22 O 11 All around us
Changes in chemicals ◦ Ex: things growing, food cooking, taking a photo (film) We use reactions to produce chemicals ◦ Ex: plastics, acids
Solid, Liquid, Gas ◦ What is the difference between ice, water, steam? Solid ◦ Definite shape, definite volume Liquid ◦ No definite shape, definite volume Gas ◦ No definite shape, no definite volume
Properties that can be measured or observed without changing it’s identity ◦ Length, mass, color, odor, density, boiling point, melting point
Matter can change ◦ Ice melts, water fogs a mirror, bike spokes rust, red clothes fade, milk sours 2 types of changes
A change in which the identity of a substance does not change ◦ Change physical properties Melting, freezing, dissolving, crushing, boiling
Also called a chemical reaction Things turn into something new 2 parts of a chemical reaction ◦ Reactants – things that react ◦ Products – things that are produced
Reactant + Reactant Product + Product Propane + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water
1 of 4 things must happen 1. A gas is produced 2. Formation of a precipitate 3. Release of heat and light 4. Color change
