Introduction to Chemistry
Chemistry is the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. A substance is a form of matter that has a definite composition and distinct properties. liquid nitrogen gold ingots silicon crystals

Types of Changes A physical change does not alter the composition or identity of a substance. ice melting sugar dissolving in water A chemical change alters the composition or identity of the substance(s) involved. hydrogen burns in air to form water INSPIRING CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE MINDS
18
The Properties of Chemical Substance
Physical properties are those that can be observed without changing the identity of the substance. examples : color, density,mass, boiling point Chemical properties are properties that describe how a substance changes into a completely different substance. examples : flammability and corrosion/oxidation resistance .
19
Extensive and Intensive Properties
An extensive property of a material depends upon how much matter is being considered. mass length volume An intensive property of a material does not depend upon how much matter is being considered. density temperature color

Matter - anything that occupies space and has mass
mass – measure of the quantity of matter SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg) 1 kg = 1000 g = 1 x 103 g weight – force that gravity exerts on an object weight = c x mass on earth, c = 1.0 on moon, c ~ 0.1 A 1 kg bar will weigh 1 kg on earth 0.1 kg on moon

Volume – SI derived unit for volume is cubic meter (m3)
Measurement in Chemistry Volume – SI derived unit for volume is cubic meter (m3) 1 cm3 = (1 x 10-2 m)3 = 1 x 10-6 m3 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3 1 dm3 = (1 x 10-1 m)3 = 1 x 10-3 m3 1 mL = 1 cm3

Gold is a precious metal that is chemically unreactive.
Measurement in Chemistry Gold is a precious metal that is chemically unreactive. It is used mainly in jewelery, dentistry, and electronic devices. A piece of gold ingot with a mass of 301 g has a volume of 15.6 cm3. Calculate the density of gold.
29
Measurement in Chemistry
Solution We are given the mass and volume and asked to calculate the density. Therefore, from Equation (1.1), we write
30
Measurement in Chemistry
The density of mercury, the only metal that is a liquid at room temperature, is 13.6 g/mL. Calculate the mass of 5.50 mL of the liquid.
31
We rearrange Equation (1.1) to give

Dimensional Analysis Method of Solving Problems
Measurement in Chemistry Dimensional Analysis Method of Solving Problems Determine which unit conversion factor(s) are needed Carry units through calculation If all units cancel except for the desired unit(s), then the problem was solved correctly. given quantity x conversion factor = desired quantity given unit x = desired unit desired unit given unit
34
Measurement in Chemistry
A person’s average daily intake of glucose (a form of sugar) is pound (lb). What is this mass in milligrams (mg)? (1 lb = g.)
35
Measurement in Chemistry
Strategy The problem can be stated as ? mg = lb The relationship between pounds and grams is given in the problem. This relationship will enable conversion from pounds to grams. A metric conversion is then needed to convert grams to milligrams (1 mg = 1 × 10−3 g). Arrange the appropriate conversion factors so that pounds and grams cancel and the unit milligrams is obtained in your answer.
36
Measurement in Chemistry
The sequence of conversions is Using the following conversion factors we obtain the answer in one step:
37
Measurement in Chemistry
An average adult has 5.2 L of blood. What is the volume of blood in m3?
38
Measurement in Chemistry
Strategy The problem can be stated as ? m3 = 5.2 L How many conversion factors are needed for this problem? Recall that 1 L = 1000 cm3 and 1 cm = 1 × 10−2 m.
39
Measurement in Chemistry
Solution We need two conversion factors here: one to convert liters to cm3 and one to convert centimeters to meters: Because the second conversion factor deals with length (cm and m) and we want volume here, it must therefore be cubed to give This means that 1 cm3 = 1 × 10−6 m3.
40
Measurement in Chemistry
Now we can write Check From the preceding conversion factors you can show that 1 L = 1 × 10−3 m3. Therefore, 5 L of blood would be equal to 5 × 10−3 m3, which is close to the answer.
41
Measurement in Chemistry
Liquid nitrogen is obtained from liquefied air and is used to prepare frozen goods and in low-temperature research. The density of the liquid at its boiling point (−196°C or 77 K) is g/cm3. Convert the density to units of kg/m3. liquid nitrogen
42
Measurement in Chemistry
Strategy The problem can be stated as ? kg/m3 = g/cm3 Two separate conversions are required for this problem: Recall that 1 kg = 1000 g and 1 cm = 1 × 10−2 m.
43
Solution we saw that 1 cm3 = 1 ×10−6 m3. The conversion factors are
Finally Check Because 1 m3 = 1 × 106 cm3, we would expect much more mass in 1 m3 than in 1 cm3. Therefore, the answer is reasonable.
