What is Matter Matter is anything that takes up space (Volume) and has Mass Matter has Properties Hardness, color, texture, shape, melting or boiling points, Chemical activities (flammability or reacting with other chemicals More to follow on Properties
2
What is Matter made of? Elements Compounds Mixtures
3
What is Matter made of? Elements-Building blocks of nature. They cannot be broken down Elements are found on Periodic Table Atomic-most elements can exist as individual atoms(smallest particle of any element). Examples: Fe, Au, Ag, Al Molecular-some elements are Diatomic when found in molecular form in nature. H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2 Also Triatomic, Tetratomic, Octatomic
4
What is Matter made of? Compounds-Two or more elements chemically bonded together Smallest particle is a Molecule These can be broken down into smaller compounds or elemental parts Examples: H2O(water), Fe2O3(rust) 2 H2O(l) 2 H2(g) O2(g) 2 Fe2O3(s) 4 FeO(s) O2(g) 2 FeO(s) 2 Fe(s) O2(g) 2NaCl(s) 2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) CH4(g) O2(g) CO2(g) H2O(g)
5
What is Matter made of? Mixtures-These are made of two or more chemicals that are not chemically bonded together. Examples: Sand, Salt/Pepper, Milk, Blood, Muddy water Homogeneous – similar throughout(cola) Heterogeneous – differences occur (concrete) Mixtures can usually be separated easily by physical means such as filtration, distillation or chromatography
6
Filtration: Coffee filters Some water filters
Separates tiny solid substances that are only suspended in liquids and solutions. Not for dissolved chemicals Coffee filters Some water filters Pool filters – sand or Diatomaceous Earth Filtration:
7
Distillation: Separates Homogeneous mixtures using the differences in
boiling points. BPH20 = 100˚C BPNaCl = 808˚C Water vapor rises first and condenses in the tube.
8
Chromatography: Separates colored substances on the basis of differences in solubility in a solvent. Higher solubility travels farther.
9
Classification Flowchart
10
Physical Properties Volume, mass, size, color, shape, smell, hardness, density, texture, melting & boiling points, viscosity, temperature…
11
Physical Changes Change that alters appearance or form of material but does not change to different kind of material Changes of State are ALWAYS Physical Changes Examples: tearing paper, breaking pencil, crushing a rock, ice melting, gasoline vaporizing
12
Chemical Properties What are the chemical activities of the material
Does it react with Oxygen Does it react with Water Does it react with Chlorine Does it react with Fluorine Does it react with …
13
Chemical Changes A chemical reaction occurs that produce NEW substances Old chemicals bonds must be broken and new ones formed Example: burning fuel, digesting food, Photosynthesis, rusting iron, plant decay, baking bread
14
2 Kinds of Chemical Reactions
Exothermic Releases heat into surroundings Might feel warm or hot to the touch Reactants have higher energy in their bonds Examples: Mixing acid with bases Burning of a fuel Digestion
15
2 Kinds of Chemical Reactions
Endothermic Absorbs heat from the surroundings Could feel cool to the touch Products have more energy than reactants Examples: Cooking an egg Dissolving Baking Soda Photosynthesis Cooking coffee beans
16
Measuring Matter Volume -- How much space material takes up: V=LxWxH V=Pr2h V=4/3Pr3 Mass -- gram, Kilogram not affected by gravity Weight -- Pounds, Ounces The effect that gravity has on a mass Density = Mass/Volume
17
Density Mass/Volume Affects the buoyancy of material. Does it float?
Is NOT affected by size of sample Is affected by change in temperature
18
In scientific measurements, the Celsius and Kelvin scales are most often used.
The Celsius scale is based on the properties of water. 0C is the freezing point of water. 100C is the boiling point of water. Temperature
19
The Fahrenheit scale is not used in scientific measurements.
F = 9/5(C) + 32 C = 5/9(F − 32) Temperature The Kelvin is the SI unit of temperature. There are no negative Kelvin temperatures. K = C + 273
20
Accuracy versus Precision
Accuracy refers to the proximity of a measurement to the true value of a quantity. Precision refers to the proximity of several measurements to each other.
