CHAPTER 2 MATTER AND CHANGE:
2.1 PROPERTIES OF MATTER
Describe matter by looking!
a. Extensive Properties – depends on the amount of matter in a sample examples- volume and mass
b. Intensive Properties – depends on the type of matter in a sample example – bowling ball
Identifying Substances:
Substance: matter that has a uniform and definite composition
Physical property: the quality of a sample that can be observed or measured without changing the substance’s composition.
Hardness Color Malleability Conductivity Ductile
STATES OF MATTER
Solid – definite shape definite volume – atoms vibrate in fixed position
Liquid – indefinite shape definite volume – atoms are in close contact but not rigid
Gas – takes shape and volume of container – atoms are active and far apart
As energy in the substance increases the atoms motion increases!
What is the difference between gas and vapor?
PHYSICAL CHANGES
Properties of a material change but the composition remains the same.
FreezeMeltCondenseBreakSplitGrindEvaporateSublimate
How can physical changes be reversible or irreversible?
2.2 MIXTURES
Mixture – a physical blend of two or more substances
Heterogeneous – uneven mixture composition Homogeneous – even mixture composition
What is a phase?
SEPERATING MIXTURES
Filtration
Distillation
Magnetism
2.3 ELEMENTS AND COMPOUNDS
Element – simplest form of matter and cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
Compound – a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion and it can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means
Chemical Change:
If a substance takes on new properties from the combination or separation of element in the substance
Heat is a good catalyst – what is a catalyst?
What might give you a clue a chemical change has occurred?
SYMBOLS AND FORMULAS
Symbols – one or two letters used to identify an element
Formulas – a shorthand way to identify a compound or molecule
CONSERVATION OF MASS
The mass of the product always equals the mass of the reactants so in any physical or chemical change mass is conserved.
Chemical Reactions:
Key Concepts1. What always happens during a chemical change?2. What are the four possible clues that a chemical change has taken
place?3. How are the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products of a
chemical reaction related?
Vocabulary:Chemical propertyChemical reactionReactantProductPrecipitateLaw of Conservation of Mass
Chemical Changes:
Chemical changes occur when the composition of matter changes.
Examples – Burn, Rust, Rot, Decompose, Ferment, Explode, Corrode, Odor
Chemical properties of matter allow how the matter will change. - these properties are tied to their position on the periodic table - some properties create change faster - properties exhibited during a reaction help identify matter - chemical properties do not remain the same after a chemical reaction. - not easily reversed
A Chemical Change = A Chemical Reaction
A chemical reaction contains two parts 1. The Reactant – the matter before the reaction 2. The Product – the matter transformed by the reaction - Looking at page 53 give me an example of reactant and product.
Recognizing Chemical Change
There are several guidelines to help you identify a chemical reaction.- Color change- Transfer of energy (cold or hot)- Production of gas- Formation of precipitate
-Using page 54 give me some examples of recognizable chemical changes . Can you think of any others that might occur in your daily life?
Conservation Of Mass
The Law of conservation of mass that in any physical or chemical change mass is conserved.
That means that matter can not be created or destroyed. The matter either retains its chemical properties or they the matter is arranged to exhibit new properties.
