Chemistry The study of Chemical & Physical Properties and Changes of Matter Is not just blowing stuff up!
2
Chemistry What is Chemistry? What is Matter?
The study of the properties of matter and how matter changes What is Matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space All stuff around you is matter All “Stuff” is made up of substances or mixtures
3
Substances v. Mixture Substance – A single kind of matter that is pure, has a specific makeup or composition no matter where it came from. Demo: Discuss Water, Salt & Sugar
4
Substances v. Mixture Substances consists of
Atoms/ Molecules / Compounds that are the same throughout.
5
Substance + Substance = Mixture
Substances v. Mixture Mixture Made of two or more substances – (elements, compounds or both) that are together in the same place, but NOT chemically combined. Cl- Element Substance Na+ Element Substance H2O Compound Substance Substance + Substance = Mixture
6
Filter: Pure Substance Leftover
Substances v. Mixture If it’s a mixture, you can separate it. (i.e. filtering/distilling) Drain Fill Filter: Pure Substance Leftover Mixture Pure Substance Demo: filter anything
7
Filter: Pure Substance Leftover
Substances v. Mixture If its a Substance, you cannot separate it. You cannot filter water from its self and come out with something different. Drain Fill Filter: Pure Substance Leftover Mixture Pure Substance Demo: filter water
8
Mixture = Substance + Substance
Substances v. Mixture In other words: Elements and compounds are pure substances, a mixture is not, but rather a mixture of two different compounds/ elements. Mixture = Substance + Substance
9
Problem! How can you identify a specific substance?
10
We use Properties to identify them!
Solution!!! We use Properties to identify them! I know, I know… what are properties?
11
Properties of Matter Properties are the “identifying characteristics” of substances. All substances have their own properties unlike any other substance. You can Identify all substances if you know enough of the properties
12
Properties of Matter There are two properties of Matter: Physical
Chemical
13
Two Types of Properties
Physical: Describes the physical characteristics / attributes of the substance. Qualitative: what the substance looks like, feels like, tastes like, smells like, sounds like. Quantitative: numerical properties such as phase at certain temperatures, density, melting/freezing point, etc. Chemical: How a substance reacts with other substances.
14
Going Further Sometimes it’s a bit difficult to determine the substance simply because they look too much alike. What can you do? Another way we can tell them apart is by how they react with other substances.
15
Chemical Properties Recap
How a substance reacts with other substances. + = Fizzing
16
Clarification Chemical properties is really determined by how a substance reacts or does not react to other substances (to make a new substance). Examples of some Chemical Properties: i.e. iron will react with oxygen to produce rust. i.e. Silver reacts with sulfur to form tarnish i.e. Gold does NOT react with oxygen or sulfur i.e. Baking Soda is NOT flammable (does not react to oxygen)
17
Chemical & Physical Change
Properties help us to identify substances – but when we actually DO / TRY something, and it actually changes as a result – we say it under-went a chemical or physical change. It all depends on whether or not the substance changed into something new or not.
18
Definitions Physical Change: Indicators of a Physical Change:
Any time you alter the substance, but it’s still the same substance. Indicators of a Physical Change: Phase change Mixing (Not reacting) Change in shape or size Expected Change of Color Any kind of change that does not change what it is Demo: Melting Ice, squishing clay, breaking glass, dissolving sugar, bending wire, crushing a can, getting paper wet, melting wire, mixing kool-aid, evaporating water.
19
Definitions Chemical Change: Indicators of a Chemical Change:
Any time you react the substance with another substance – and it changes into another substance. Indicators of a Chemical Change: Fire Change of Energy: i.e. Heat, Light & Sound Bubbling - production of gas Unexpected Change of Color Precipitate (getting a solid from mixing two liquids) Demo: Fire, cooking an egg, whoosh bottle, burning steel wool, electrolysis, litmus paper, rust, tarnished candle sticks,
20
Physical Chemical Properties Change
Describes the physical characteristics of the substance. Hardness, texture, phase, etc. Metallic Luster, Dull, Solid, fibrous, malleable Describes how the substance reacts with other substances. Iron + Oxygen Rust Silver + Sulfur Tarnish Gold + Oxygen No change Paper + Oxygen (fire) Ash A physical alteration of the substance but still the same substance. Indicators: Phase change Mixture (Dissolve) Shape / Size change Expected Color Change Two substances interact to form another substance. Fire Light, Sound, Heat Producing a gas (Fizz/Bubble) Unexpected color change Precipitate Properties Change
21
Substance + Substance New Substance + New Substance
Chemical Change Substance + Substance New Substance + New Substance
22
Chemical Changes Examples of Chemical Change Electrolysis
(Breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen) Reaction Indicators: Bubbles form H2 Reacts with Oxygen Demo: Chemical Electrolysis
23
Chemical Changes Examples of Chemical Change Oxidation:
(Rusting of Iron from the Oxygen in the air) Reaction Indicators: Change of Color Demo: Chemical Rusting Steel Wool Burning Mg
24
Chemical Changes Examples of Chemical Change Tarnishing:
Silver mixing with sulfur in the air producing a dark coating. Reaction Indicators: Change of Color Demo: Chemical Candlestick
25
Chemical Changes Precipitation Indication
Mixing two liquids and getting a solid out of it. Indication Color Change
26
Physical Change Indicators Chemical Change Indicators
The substance has not changed into something new The physical appearance may have changed, but the substance is still the same. There is no energy conversion – only heat or electricity has gone through it, but not converted into another form of energy. The substance has reacted with another substance. The substance has changed into another substance. Energy has been converted from one form into another. i.e. chemical heat & light
