Matter: Anything that has mass and takes up space.

4. Physical Properties: Chemical Properties:
Can be observed without changing a substance into another substance.
Color, Boiling point, density, mass, volume, etc.
Chemical Properties:
Can only be observed when a substance is changed into another substance.
Flammability, corrosiveness, reactivity with acid, etc.

5. Intensive Properties:
Independent of the amount of the substance that is present.

Extensive Properties:
Dependent upon the amount of the substance present.
Mass, volume, energy, etc.

6. Changes of Matter Physical Changes: Chemical Changes (Reactions):
Changes in matter that do not change the composition of a substance.
Changes of state, temperature, volume, etc.
Chemical Changes (Reactions):
Changes that result in new substances.
Combustion, oxidation, decomposition, etc.

7. 1-3 Classification of Matter
Atoms are the building blocks of matter.
Each element is made of the same kind of atom.
A compound is made of two or more different kinds of elements.
Molecules are the smallest units of compounds.

9. Mixture: Composition varies from sample to sample
Substance (pure): Composition and properties are uniform in every sample
elements and compounds
Mixture: Composition varies from sample to sample
Homogeneous Mixture: uniform composition
AKA solutions (air, salt water, gasoline)
Heterogeneous Mixture: components separate into regions
Italian dressing, sand and water

10. Separating Mixtures
Mixtures can be separated into components by physical means

11. Distillation:
Separates homogeneous mixture on the basis of differences in boiling point.

12. Chromatography:
Separates substances based on differing abilities of compounds to adhere to the surface of a solid

13. Filtration:
Separates solid substances from liquids and solutions.

19. 1-4 Measurement of Matter

20. SI Units
Système International d’Unités

21. Metric System
Prefixes convert the base units into units that are appropriate for the item being measured.

22. What is the name given to the unit that equals:
10–9 gram
10–6 second
10–3 meter

23. SI Unites Mass: quantity of matter in an object Time: seconds (s)
Grams (g)
Time: seconds (s)
Volume: liter (L) and the milliliter (mL)
1 mL = 1 cm3

24. The volume of the cube to the right is
10.0 cm L mL
10.0 cm kL
cm3
10.0 cm dL

25. The volume of the cube to the right is
10.0 cm L mL
10.0 cm kL

26. Temperature:
A measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample.
Celsius and Kelvin scales are most often used.
The Celsius scale is based on the properties of water.
0C is the freezing point of water.
100C is the boiling point of water.

27. Temperature The Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature.
It is based on the properties of gases.
There are no negative Kelvin temperatures.
K = C
F = 9/5(C) + 32
C = 5/9(F − 32)

30. 1-6 Uncertainties in Measurements
Systematic errors (built in errors)
Thermometer constantly 2°C too low.
Random errors
Limitation in reading a scale.
Precision
Reproducibility of a measurement.
Accuracy
How close to the real value.

32. 1-7 Significant Figures
The term significant figures refers to digits that were measured.
When rounding calculated numbers, we pay attention to significant figures so we do not overstate the accuracy of our answers.

33. Significant Figures All nonzero digits are significant.
Zeroes between two significant figures are themselves significant.
Zeroes at the beginning of a number are never significant.
Zeroes at the end of a number are significant if a decimal point is written in the number.
Pacific/Atlantic Trick

34. Significant Figures
When addition or subtraction is performed, answers are rounded to the least significant decimal place.
When multiplication or division is performed, answers are rounded to the number of digits that corresponds to the least number of significant figures in any of the numbers used in the calculation.
