1
The Properties of Matter Lessons 1-3
2
Question… What do we have in common with a toaster, bowl of hot soup and a glowing neon sign?
3
Matter Anything that has mass and takes up space
4
Volume The amount of space taken up or occupied by an object
5
Measuring Liquid Volume Graduated cylinder mL Meniscus: curve at a liquid’s surface to measure volume
6
Meniscus
7
Volume of Solid Volume = length x width x height
8
Volume of Irregular Solid How much does the object displace?
10
Mass vs. Weight Measure of the amount of matter in an object Used with a balance Expressed in Grams (g), kilograms (kg) Measure of the gravitational force of an object, value can change depending on the location of the universe Used with a spring scale Measured in Newtons (N)
11
Physical Properties property of a substance that can be observed without changing the identity of a substance, no chemical change
12
Examples of Physical Properties Color, Shape, Odor, Texture, Hardness, Elasticity, Malleability, Solubility, Tensile Strength, Brittleness, Density, Thermal Conductivity, State of Matter, Mass, Weight, Volume, Cohesion, Adhesion, Surface Tension, Magnetism
13
Solubility The ability of a substance to dissolve in another substance Example: Flavored drink mix
14
Malleability The ability of a substance to be rolled or pounded into thin sheets Example: aluminum foil
15
Cohesion Attraction between particles of the same substance Examples: 1.Water droplets on desk 2.Water drops on a penny
16
Adhesion Attraction between particles of different substances Examples: 1.Pour water out of beaker 2.Petri sticks to window 3.String and water
17
Surface Tension Tendency of a liquid to form a skin at the surface (caused by cohesion) Example: 1.Steel paper clip on water
18
Density The ratio of mass of a substance to the volume of the substance Density = mass/volume D = m/V
20
Magic Triangle
21
Sample Problem What is the density of an object whose mass is 25 g and whose volume is 10 cm 3 ?
22
Sample Problem 2 A block of pine wood has a mass of 120 g and a volume of 300cm 3. What is the density of the wood? Will this block of wood float in a pool of water? Why or why not?
23
Physical Change Change of matter from one form to another without a change in chemical properties Examples: ice cube to water, melted butter
24
Questions to Ask Yourself Is it still __________? Does it have the same properties? Can it be easily reversed?
25
Chemical Properties Property of matter that describes a substances ability to participate in chemical reactions Example: Wood burned creates smoke and ashes
26
Chemical Properties Flammability: ability of a substance to burn Reactivity: ability of two or more substances to combine to form one or more new substances
27
Physical vs. Chemical State: Rubbing Alcohol is a clear liquid at room temperature Flammability: Rubbing alcohol burns easily
28
Physical vs. Chemical Shape: bending an iron nail Reactivity with Oxygen: iron oxide or rust forms
29
Chemical Change Change that occurs when one or more substances change into entirely new substances with different properties
30
Signs of Chemical Change Change in color or odor Production of heat Fizzing, foaming, bubbling (Effervescent) Sound or light given off
31
Reversal of Changes Physical: many are easily reversed (melting ice cube) Chemical: not easily reversed (fireworks exploding)
32
Law of Conservation of Mass Matter is not created or destroyed but is transformed into other substances
