2.1- Classifying Matter Matter- anything that has mass and volume Two main types of matter Pure Substances Mixtures
7
Pure Substance Matter that always has exactly the same composition is classified as a pure substance Every sample of a given substance has the same properties because a substance has a fixed, uniform composition
8
Pure Substance Element: a substance that cannot be broken down into simpler substances All elements can be found on the periodic table An element has a fixed composition because it contains only one type of atom Element: Symbols-first letter capitalized, if there is a second letter, it is lowercase Developed so scientists around the world can communicate and share results Symbols come from latin or greek names for the elements
9
Pure Substance Compounds: A substance that is made from two or more simpler substances and can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means Properties of a compound are different than the properties of the substances that make it up Compounds: A compound always contains two or more elements joined in a fixed proportion
10
Examples Elements: Carbon-C Oxygen-O Copper-Cu Compounds: CO-Carbon Monoxide NaCl-table salt- sodium chloride H 2 O-Water- dihydrogen oxide
11
Mixtures The properties of a mixture can vary because the composition of a mixture is not fixed Mixtures tend to retain some of the properties of their individual substances
12
Mixture Heterogeneous: Word parts: hetero- means different genus- means kind The parts of a heterogeneous mixture are noticeably different from one another Non-uniform composition If you took two different samples of this type of mixture they would not have the same composition Heterogeneous: Suspension: A heterogeneous mixture that separates into layers over time You could use a filter to separate the substances When light shines through a suspension, it is scattered (translucent or opaque )
13
Mixture Heterogeneous : Examples : Sand Granite Italian dressing Oil and water
14
Mixture Homogeneous: The substances are so evenly distributed that it is difficult to distinguish one substance from another Appears to contain only one substance Homogeneous: Solution: when substances dissolve and form a mixture Two parts in a homogeneous mixture Solvent-what does the dissolving Solute-what gets dissolved Do not separate into layers, cannot be filtered, light passes through a liquid solution without being scattered Particles in a sol’n are too small to settle, be trapped, or scatter light
15
Mixtures Colloids Contains some particles that are intermediate in size between the small particles in a sol’n and the larger particles in a suspension Do not separate into layers Cannot use a filter to separate the parts When light passes through a colloid it is scattered Mixtures can be categorized as a sol’n, colloid, or suspension by the size of their largest particles
16
2.2-Physical Properties Physical Property- any characteristic of a material that can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the substances in the material Examples: Viscosity Conductivity Malleablility Hardness Melting point Boiling point density
17
Descriptions of Physical Properties Viscosity The resistance of a liquid to flow The tendency of a liquid to keep from flowing The higher the viscosity of a liquid, the slower it will flow Does temperature affect viscosity? weblogs.baltimoresun.com/ features/green/2009/06 www.bp.com/genericarticle.do?categoryId=4705&contentId=7049801 greentopher.blogspot.com/ 2008/01/honey.html YES!
18
Descriptions of Physical Properties Conductivity A material’s ability to allow heat to flow Materials with a high conductivity are called conductors ex: metals Materials with a low conductivity are called insulators ex: wood
19
Descriptions of Physical Properties Malleability The ability of a solid to be hammered without shattering Most metals are malleable Brittle Solids that shatter when hit Glass, ice
20
Descriptions of Physical Properties Hardness Mohs Scale Remember??? 1-10, 1 being the softest (talc) and 10 being the hardest (diamonds) One way to compare the hardness of two materials is to see which of the materials can scratch the other Melting and Boiling Points Melting point-the temperature at which a substance changes from solid to liquid Boiling point-the temperature at which a substance boils
21
Descriptions of Physical Properties Density Can be used to test the purity of a substance Ratio of the mass of a substance to the volume of a substance D = M/V
22
Using Physical Properties Physical Properties are used to identify a material, to choose a material for a specific purpose, or to separate the substances in a mixture
23
Using Physical Properties… …to identify materials 1st: decide what properties to test 2nd: test a sample of the unknown 3rd: compare results with known data …to choose materials ex: you wouldn’t want to use a stick of wax to stir your spaghetti sauce Why?
24
Using Physical Properties to Separate Mixtures Filtration A process that separates materials based on the size of their particles Distillation This process is often used if filtration cannot be used A process that separates the substances in a solution based on their boiling points Filtration and Distillation are two common methods
25
Physical Changes Physical Change- occurs when some of the properties of a material change, but the substances in the material remain the same Some physical changes can be reversed, some cannot
26
2.3 Chemical Properties Chemical Property- any ability to produce a change in the composition of matter Observing Chemical Properties Chemical Properties can be observed only when the substances in a sample of matter are changing into different substances
27
Chemical Properties Flammability A material’s ability to burn in the presence of oxygen www.stovesonline.co.uk/how-to-burn-wood.html home-and-garden.webshots.com/photo/1058779016034709219JxVHds www.flickr.com/photos/37388341@N00/2892896284/
28
Chemical Properties Reactivity The tendency of a substance to to combine chemically with other substances www.scienceclarified.com/Qu-Ro/Reaction-Chemical.html nuclearnrg-psa.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
29
Recognizing Chemical Changes Chemical Change- occurs when a substance reacts and forms one or more new substances (the original substance is no longer present) When a chemical change takes place new substance(s) are formed and there is evidence that a change occurred
30
Recognizing Chemical Changes Common types of evidence for a chemical change follow: Change in color Production of a gas Formation of a precipitate Energy (heat/light) given off Energy used (it will get very cold) Odor given off
31
Recognizing Chemical Changes Change in Color Copper turns greenish Match head turns black/gray
32
Recognizing Chemical Changes Production of a Gas Vinegar and baking soda (CO 2 given off) Electrolysis of water H 2 and O 2 gas given off Bread rising due to the formation of CO 2 when yeast causes fermentation to take place Formation of a Precipitate Precipitate- any solid that forms and separates from a liquid mixture genchem.chem.wisc.edu/sstutorial/Text8/Tx82/tx82.html
33
Chemical or Physical Change? When matter undergoes a chemical change, the composition of the matter changes. When matter undergoes a physical change, the composition of the matter remains the same. Before you decide whether or not a chemical change has taken place ask yourself: Are different substances present after the change takes place?
