Basic Concepts in Chemistry Physical Properties
2
Physical Properties A characteristic of a substance that you can observe and measure without changing the identity of the substance.
3
Number vs. Quantity Quantity - number + unit UNITS MATTER!! Courtesy Christy Johannesson www.nisd.net/communicationsarts/pages/chem
4
Types of measurement Quantitative- can be measured and assigned a particular value. use numbers to describe - melting point - viscosity is a measure of how easily a fluid flows. - 4 meters, - 100 0 C Qualitative- can be observed and described without detailed measurements. - the colour of aluminum is grey. -Hydrogen sulfide has a characteristic odour of rotten eggs. -Greenish-yellow gas could be a warning that chlorine gas is present. - extra large - hot
5
Scientists prefer Quantitative Quantitative - easy to check Easy to agree upon, no personal bias The measuring instrument limits how good the measurement is.

Examples of Qualitative Physical Properties PropertyExamples ColourColourless, red, black OdourSweet, pungent, mouldy StateSolid, liquid, or gas TextureRough, smooth, bumpy LustreShiny, dull malleabilitySoft, pliable, hard

11
To evaporate, molecules must have sufficient energy to break Intermolecular (IM) forces. Change of state from a liquid to a gas. Molecules at the surface break away and become gas. Only those with enough Kinetic energy (KE) escape. endothermicBreaking IM forces requires energy. The process of evaporation is endothermic. Evaporation is a cooling process. It requires heat. Evaporation
12
Change from gas to liquid Achieves a dynamic equilibrium with vaporization in a closed system. What is a closed system? A closed system means matter can’t go in or out. (put a cork in it) Condensation

Energy Changes Accompanying Phase Changes Solid Liquid Gas Melting Freezing Deposition CondensationVaporization Sublimation Energy of system Brown, LeMay, Bursten, Chemistry 2000, page 405
14
Melting / Boiling Point Boiling point of water Freezing point of water Absolute zero Celsius 100 Celsius degrees 100 o C 0oC0oC -273 o C Melting Point - change of state from solid to liquid Melting point: the temperature at which a solid turns into a liquid. Boiling point: the temperature at which a liquid turns into a gas. Boiling point of water is 100 0 C.

Chemical Stewardship Solutions
16
Definitions Solution -Solution - homogeneous mixture Solvent Solvent - present in greater amount Solute Solute - substance being dissolved
17
Definitions Solution -Solution - homogeneous mixture Solvent Solvent - present in greater amount Solute Solute - substance being dissolved
18
Solutions What the solute and the solvent are determines –whether a substance will dissolve. –how much will dissolve. A substance dissolves faster if it is stirred or –The particles are made smaller. shaken. –The temperature is increased. Why?
19
Solution = Solute + Solvent Solute - gets dissolved Solvent- does the dissolving –A–Aqueous (water) –T–Tincture (alcohol) –A–Amalgam (mercury) –O–Organic Polar Non-polar Dental filling Nightmare on White Street Chem Matters, December 1996

Solution Definitions solution: alloy: solvent: the substance that dissolves the solute watersalt a homogeneous mixture -- evenly mixed at the particle level -- e.g., salt water a solid solution of metals -- e.g., bronze = Cu + Sn; brass = Cu + Zn “will dissolve in” refers to two gases or two liquids that form a solution; more specific than “soluble” -- e.g., food coloring and water miscible: soluble:

Types of Solutions SoluteSolventSolution Gaseous Solutions gas liquid gas air (nitrogen, oxygen, argon gases) humid air (water vapor in air) Liquid Solutions gas liquid solid liquid carbonated drinks (CO 2 in water) vinegar (CH 3 COOH in water) salt water (NaCl in water) Solid Solutions liquid solid dental amalgam (Hg in Ag) sterling silver (Cu in Ag) Charles H.Corwin, Introductory Chemistry 2005, page 369
22
As size, rate As T o, rate 3. mixing Factors Affecting the Rate of Dissolution 1. temperature 2. particle size 4. nature of solvent or solute More mixing, rate
23
Classes of Solutions aqueous solution: water = “the universal solvent” solvent = water amalgam:solvent = Hg e.g., dental amalgam tincture:solvent = alcohol e.g., tincture of iodine (for cuts) organic solution:solvent contains carbon e.g., gasoline, benzene, toluene, hexane
24
Non-Solution Definitions insoluble:“will NOT dissolve in” e.g., sand and water immiscible:refers to two gases or two liquids that will NOT form a solution e.g., water and oil suspension:appears uniform while being stirred, but settles over time
25
Solubility Water HOT A B AFTER Before Water COLD Water HOT Add 1 drop of red food coloring Miscible – “mixable” two gases or two liquids that mix evenly Experiment 1: Water COLD A B
26
Solubility Water Oil T 30 sec AFTER Before Add oil to water and shake Immiscible – “does not mix” two liquids or two gases that DO NOT MIX Experiment 2: T 0 sec

Solubility and the Environment Chemical Stewardship Be responsible in how you dispose of and use chemicals. Chemical pollution can travel far – and harm organisms. Frog with three legs – it has mutated from chemical exposure.
33
Early Warning Signs… = Contamination of water where frog lives causes mutations. Canary dies in the mine from bad air (cyanide). This is clue for miners to leave the mine…alive.

Density Density is an INTENSIVE INTENSIVE property of matter. - does NOT depend on quantity of matter. - color, melting point, boiling point, odor, density Contrast with EXTENSIVE - depends on quantity of matter. - mass, volume, heat content (calories) Styrofoam Brick
