What is a Chemical?

Is all matter the same?

2

Chemists classify matter as either a substance or a mixture of substances.

A substance is a form of matter that has definite composition and distinct properties.

Substances can be either elements or compounds.

Substances differ from one another in composition and may be identified by appearance, smell, taste, and other properties.

Substances are matter that cannot be separated into simpler substances by simple means and are considered to be pure. They can be elements or compounds.

Atoms of an element

Molecules of a compound

How do you Identify Matter?

Given two substances

List the similarities and differences between them

How would you determine whether they are matter or not?

How would you determine their identity?

8

There are two general types of properties of matter:

1) Quantitative properties are measured and expressed with a number. (boiling point, density, viscosity)

2) Qualitative properties do not require measurement and are usually based on observation. (color, feel, state of matter)

Classification of Matter

10

All substances can, in principle, exist as a solid, liquid or gas.

Solids and liquids are referred to collectively as the condensed phases.

The three states of matter can be interconverted without changing the chemical composition of the substance.

Density of Liquids

Density =

In a jar, put corn syrup, isopropyl alcohol, and cooking oil.

Does the order of addition matter?

Which substance has the least density?

Physical Properties of Liquid

Viscosity

The resistance of a liquid to flow.

The thicker a liquid is the greater its viscosity, the more viscous it is. The substance will not flow easily

Surface Tension

The forces holding surface molecules together.

Capillary Action results from surface tension

Vapor Pressure

The pressure exerted by the evaporated liquid in a closed container

Physical Properties of Solids

Tensile or Ductile Strength

Can the substance be pulled or flattened without breaking?

Is the substance malleable

Metallic Luster

Shape

Many crystals come in very unique shapes due to the bonding that occurs within the substance.

An extensive property of a material depends upon how much matter is being considered.

An intensive property of a material does not depend upon how much matter is being considered.

  • length
  • volume
  • density

Separation of Matter

17

A mixture can be separated by physical means into pure components without changing the identities of the components.

The Properties of Matter

18

Chromatography

    • Separation by solubility, mass or bonding properties
    • Separation of inks

Distillation

    • Separation by the physical properties of melting point or boiling point
    • Purifying water

Examples of physical processes

Mixtures are separated , but the identities of the �matter does not change

Filtering

    • Separation by the physical property of solubility. One substance is soluble the other is not.
    • Coffee filters
    • Tea bags

The Properties of Matter

19

A physical property is one that can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance.

  • Examples: color, melting point, boiling point

A physical change is one in which the state of matter changes, but the identity of the matter does not change.

  • Examples: changes of state (melting, freezing, condensation)

A physical change does not alter the composition or identity of a substance.

A chemical change alters the composition or identity of the substance(s) involved.

ice melting

sugar dissolving

in water

hydrogen burns in air to form water

Types of Changes

21 of 25

Changes of State

Vaporization, Condensation or Boiling point – the temperature at which the liquid vaporizes

Fusion, Melting or Freezing point – the temperature at which the solid melts or the liquid freezes.

21

Increasing Temperature

solid

liquid

gas

plasma

Sublimation

Deposition - the substance does not melt or boil but changes directly from the solid into a gas or gas to solid

22 of 25

Chemical Changes

22

Compounds will form in chemical reactions when the resulting substance or product is more stable or has lower energy than the reactants..

Chemical changes can often be recognized when a substance changes appearance, state of matter or there is a loss or gain of heat.

Reactants Products

H2 + O2 → H2O Cu + Br2 CuBr

C6H12O6 + O2 CO2 + H2O

The Properties of Matter

23

A chemical property is one a substance exhibits as it interacts with another substance.

  • Examples: flammability, corrosiveness

A chemical change is one that results in a change of composition; the original substances no longer exist.

  • Examples: digestion, combustion, oxidation
