2
Features of all matter that can be observed and measured without changing the chemical composition of the substance State of matter Volume Mass Weight Density Many, many more Physical Properties
3
Physical properties that will change depending on the amount or size of a substance: Volume – the amount of space an object takes up Mass – the amount of matter an object has Weight – a measure of the force, or pull, on objects due to gravity On Earth, mass and weight are equal. However, on the moon mass and weight would be different because the Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s Size-dependent properties
4
1. Would your mass be different on the Moon? No. Mass is the amount of matter you have. That would not change. 2. Would your weight be different on the moon? Yes 3. Would you weigh more or less? You would weigh less because the Moon’s gravity is less than Earth’s gravity Assessment Time
5
Physical properties that stay the same no matter how much of a substance there is: Color, taste, odor State of matter (solid, liquid, gas) Malleability – can be hammered into thin sheets Brittleness – break if they are hammered Ductility – can be drawn into a wire without breaking Conductivity – heat and electricity move easily through them Size-independent properties
6
Take the copper wire out of the bag Observe it. Answer yes or no on your whiteboard for the following properties; 1. malleability: 2. brittleness: 3. conductivity: 4. ductility : Assessment Time
7
Magnetism – can be attracted by a magnet Melting point – solid turns to liquid or liquid turns to solid Boiling point – Liquid turns to gas or gas turns to liquid Density – The amount of mass per volume of an object (g/cm 3 ) More Size-independent properties
8
Use the magnet at your desk to test which of the items are magnetic Write the magnetic items on the dry erase board and hold them up when you are done Lead fishing weight Copper wire Aluminum can tab Steel Bolt Steel paper clip Steel is a ferrous metal (contains iron – Fe) Iron is magnetic! Assessment Time
9
Changes in the appearance of a substance, but NOT what it is made of, is a physical change Changes in size or shape Changes of state Ice melts to water Water boils to vapor It is still water Physical Changes
10
Condensation Gaseous H 2 O molecules cooling on a cold glass of ice water and forming water droplets on the outside Sublimation A gas going directly to a solid Sublimation of Dry Ice (Solid CO 2 ) Sublimation of Dry Ice (Solid CO 2 ) Another Sublimation video Another Sublimation video Cool sublimation trick Cool sublimation trick Deposition A solid turning directly into a gas More Physical Changes
11
Mixture – formed when 2 or more substances come together, but do NOT combine chemically to make a new substance Can be a combination of solids, liquids and gases Soil is a mixture of sand, clay, silt, decaying plant and animal matter, air and water. Salads are a mixture of vegetables, fruits, and dressing More Physical Changes
12
The mixture is the same throughout Salt and water mix together to make a saltwater The salt seems to disappear The salt and water molecules are spread evenly throughout Salt dissolves in the water making a solution The substance that dissolves is called a solute The substance in which the solute dissolves is the solvent Homogeneous Mixture
13
Write the words and answers on the white boards In a salt water solution, identify the; Solvent: Solute: Solvent: water Solute: salt Assessment Time
14
A measure of how much solute will dissolve in a certain amount of solvent at a certain temperature The amount of solute compared to the amount of solvent is called concentration A large amount of solute in a small amount of solvent would have a high concentration – unsaturated solution A small amount of solute in a large amount of solvent would have a low concentration – saturated solution Solubility
15
A mixture where the substances do not mix evenly Suspension – the particles of one substance are temporarily mixed in another substance Muddy water – the soil particles will eventually settle Oil and vinegar salad dressing Colloid – the particles are not dissolved, yet they do not settle out In between a solution and a suspension Milk Gelatin Mayonnaise Fog – tiny water droplets in air Heterogeneous Mixture
