Define physical change and list several common physical changes. Define chemical change and list several indications that a chemical change has taken place. Apply the law of conservation of mass to chemical reactions. OBJECTIVES
3
Physical change Chemical change Law of conservation of mass VOCABULARY
4
A substance often undergoes changes that result in a dramatically different appearance but leave the substance unchanged. EXAMPLE: Crumpling aluminum foil PHYSICAL CHANGES are changes that alter a substance without changing its composition. EXAMPLES: Cutting a sheet of paper Breaking a crystal Include verbs: bend, grind, crumple, spit, & crush PHYSICAL CHANGES
5
The state of matter depends on the temperature and pressure of the surroundings As temperature and pressure change, most substances undergo a change from one state (or phase) to another EXAMPLE: Water 0°C solid state AKA ice Above 0°C melts and becomes liquid water 100°C water begins to boil as liquid water turns to steam PHYSICAL CHANGES
6
Terms that indicate phase change: Boil Freeze Condense Vaporize Melt The temperature and pressure at which a substance undergoes a phase change are important physical properties Melting point Boiling point PHYSICAL CHANGES
7
Chemical properties relate to the ability of a substance to combine with or change into one or more substances A process that involves one or more substances changing into new substances is called a CHEMICAL CHANGE AKA as a CHEMICAL REACTION The new substances formed in the reaction have different compositions and different properties from the substances present before the reaction. CHEMICAL CHANGE
8
EXAMPLE: Grapes Wine Iron Rust Terms that indicate a chemical reaction: Explode, rust, oxidize, corrode, tarnish, ferment, burn, or rot CHEMICAL CHANGE
9
Formation of a gas or solid Color changes Energy change Change in smell or production of odor Evidence of a Chemical Reaction
10
In the 18 th century, scientist began to use quantitative tools to monitor chemical changes The analytical balance Capable of measuring very small changes in mass By carefully measuring mass before and after many chemical reactions, it was observed that, although chemical changes occurred, the total mass involved in the reaction remained constant. Conservation of Mass
11
The constancy of mass in chemical reactions was observed so often that scientist assumed the phenomenon must be true for all reactions. LAW OF CONSERVATION OF MASS States that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction – it is converved Mass reactants = Mass products Conservation of Mass
12
Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) First to use analytical balance Studied the thermal decomposition of mercury(II) oxide, known as calx of mercury Mercury(II) oxide is a powdery red solid When it is heated, the red solid reacts to form the silvery liquid mercury and colorless oxygen gas The color change and production of gas are indicators of a chemical reaction. Conservation of Mass
13
Fundamental concept of chemistry When the reaction is performed in a closed container, the oxygen gas cannot escape and the mass before and after the reaction can be measured The masses will be the same. Conservation of Mass
14
In an experiment, 10.00 g of red mercury(II) oxide powder is placed in an open flask and heated until it is converted to liquid mercury and oxygen gas. The liquid mercury has a mass of 9.26 g. What is the mass of oxygen formed in the reaction? EXAMPLE: Law of Conservation of Mass
