Liquid
no definite shape but definite volume

\-not compressible

\-atoms packed together and at a an equal distance to each other as a solid, but have no fixed position due to having enough energy to slide over each other, as seen as in pouring a liquid.

types of composition
elements, compounds, mixtures
New cards
9
Elements
\-Cannot be broken down further

\-only __one__ kind of atom in substance

\-118 types, periodic table; some more present than others (74% H & 24% He in world; CHO = 90% of human)

\-some elements heavier than others due to amt. of protons or neutrons (or electrons)
New cards
10
compounds
\-can be broken down into elements

\-2 or more atoms bonded intramolecularly together

\-elements interact with other elements interact to form compounds

Joe Louis proust’s Law of constant composition: no matter how a compound is made, its composition would be the same.
New cards
11
molecule
group of atoms bonded together; can be either diatomic/triatomic/tetratomic atoms (2 or more of the same atoms bonded) or compounds (two or more different atoms bonded)
New cards
12
Pure substance
substance with only 1 type of molecule

\-either element or compound

\-no mixtures
New cards
13
mixtures
\-can be broken down into elements

\-2 or more different kinds of elements or compounds present together but not bonded to each other; each type of molecule retains its own identity.

\-can be bonded intermolecular, but not INTRAmolecularly

\-composition of mixture can vary

\-two types of mixtures
New cards
14
types of mixtures
heterogenous and homogenous
New cards
15
heterogenous mixtures
\-visually distinguishable components; you can easily see how different the components are

ex. ice and water; orange juice with pulp; gold ore; sand; salad; oil and water
New cards
16
homogenous mixtures
\-appear (But are not necessarily composed) uniformly throughout, meaning that the components in the mixture appear the same in the mixture; components are **not** visually distinguishable

ex. air; saltwater; paint; clay
New cards
17
properties of matter
how it reacts; what can be seen if/if not changed

\-physical properties and chemical properties
New cards
18
physical properties
\-traits observed without changing a substance’s composition

\-ex. melting point, as applying thermal energy in a substance will not cause the substance to alter its composition.
New cards
19
chemical properties
\-things observed in how a substance can potentially change in composition

\-ex. oxidation; how easily oxygen can alter a substance into something else
New cards
20
extensive and intensive properties of matter
chemical and physical properties can be extensive or intensive
New cards
21
intensive properties
when the chemical/physical property does not depend on the amt of sample

ex. color, density, melting point

melting point- if 1 in^2 of wax melts in 3 secs, and 4in^2 of wax melts in 12 secs; it is still melting at the same rate of 1in^2 every 3 secs
New cards
22
Extensive properties
\-physical/chemical property can only be seen/possible in a certain amount of substance

ex. weight; dimensions

dimensions- if 1kg of glass has an area of 1inch^2 and you’d want to see glass what is 5inch^2; you would only be able to do so with 5kg of glass; therefore the 5 inch^2 dimension in particular is an extensive property
New cards
23
changes of matter
physical and chemical changes
New cards
24
physical change
\-a change in the appearance of matter, but not its composition.

\-ex melting wax will cause wax to become runny, but wax would still be wax;

shredding paper will cause the paper to become smaller in size and separate it, but it will still be paper

\-all physical states are due to physical changes
New cards
25
chemical changes
\-when the composition is changed in matter

ex. dissolving salt in water: water causes the bonded Na+Cl- ions to separate into un-bonded Na+ and Cl- ions
\-when the composition is changed in matter

ex. dissolving salt in water: water causes the bonded Na+Cl- ions to separate into un-bonded Na+ and Cl- ions
New cards
26
separation of mixtures
\-mixtures are usually separated based on a differing property in the compositions within it.

ex. since the oil and water differ in boiling points; the Oil and water mixture can be separated through boiling the mixture until the water evaporated first and leaves just the oil behind
New cards
27
filtration
\-form of separating a mixture with components that are heterogenous or have diff physical states (liquid and solid)

\-the process of separating suspended solid matter from a liquid, by causing the liquid to pass through the pores of some substance, called a filter. the filter traps the solid and lets the liquid pass therefore separating them

\-mix is poured in funnel with filter paper; solid remains in the funnel as residue, liquid ends up in container and is known as the filtrate

28
distillation
\-form of separating homogenous mixtures with components having diff boiling points (at least 25C difference)

boiling a mixture of components with different boiling points until the component(s) with the lower boiling points evaporate first and therefore leave behind the component(s) with the higher boiling point;

\--

component that evaporates first when mixture in distilling flask is heated is then condensed into another container, in Erlenmeyer flask; known as distillate → component with higher boiling point remains in distilling flask.

\-water is pumped in and out of condenser to lower temp of evaporated component into liquid state to be collected in Erlenmeyer flask.

\-parts of distillation: Distilling flask; condenser; Erlenmeyer flask; distillate.

paper chromatography
\-separates homogeneous mixtures that differ in water or paper adherence

\-can also be used to identify unknown substances or solubility of substances.

\--

\-sample of mix is placed on chromatography paper/plate; a baseline (pencil mark) marks where the sample is in the beginning.

\-the chromatography paper (stationary phase) is then placed in a development chamber (beaker with lid) in a solvent; solvent climbs up to paper by capillary action mobile phase.

\-components in the sample mix will either dissolve or climb the paper in varying degrees depending on solubility or adherence of paper. Location where solvent is on chromatography paper/plate after a certain time determines solvent front.

\-higher up = more soluble and less adherent to paper as it easily follows the solvent’s flow

\-lower down = less soluble and more adherent to paper

\--

\-relationship of the distance moved by the component to distance moved by solvent → retention factor (Rf)

\-parts of chromatography: stationary phase, mobile phase, development chamber. baseline, solvent front; rf values.

types of numbers in scientific work
exact and inexact numbers
New cards
31
exact numbers
\-defined values

ex. 100g= 1 kg; 2.2 lbs = 1kg; counting objects; 3 feet = yard
New cards
32
inexact numbers
\-measuring → always inexact

can be due to human or equipment error every time (human setup or calibration will never be perfect/exact)

\-equipment error: equipment never show exact measurement as they display measurement to the nearest partial or full unit (nearest 1, 0.1, 0.00001 grams)

ex. machine that calculates to nearest 0.0001 grams, measurement is 2.6007, but it is not certain if real measurement was 2.60068, 2.60071, 2.600715686, etc.

\-human error: differences in how exactly humans measure every time

ex. human may have disposition ruler slightly to the left in measurement A and then slightly up in measurement B, or may have mis-calibrated or failed to calibrate machinery.
New cards
33
used to discuss uncertainness of measured values
precision and accuracy
New cards
34
precision:
\-how closely do a set of measurements of a certain item agree with each other

ex. measurements of 1 kg in a 1in. cube of ice,2kg in 2in. , and 5kg in 5in. of ice show that these measurements are precise, as the amount of mass changing to the size of the ice in each measurement agree with each other.

\--

precision DOES NOT mean accuracy; if precise but inaccurate then that could show equipment or human error in measuring

ex. measurements of 1 kg in a 1in. cube of ice,2kg in 2in. , and 5kg in 5in. of ice show that these measurements are precise, but true measurement of ice cubes should 0.5 kg in 1in, 1 kg in 2in, and 2.5 kg in 5in show that these measurements are inaccurate.

35
standard deviation
how much 1 certain measurement differs from average in set of measurements

\-small deviation = more precise and valid
how much 1 certain measurement differs from average in set of measurements

\-small deviation = more precise and valid
New cards
36
accuracy
how closely measurements agree with true measurement

ex. measurement is not accurate because you measure that 1in of ice is 1kg and the true given measurement is 0.5 kg in 1 inch.

\--

accuracy DOES NOT equal precision; can indicate human/equipment error in one or more of the measurements

\--

New cards
37
significant values
when measuring, all values are uncertain

ex. machine that calculates to nearest 0.0001 grams, measurement is 2.6007, but it is not certain if real measurement was 2.60068, 2.60071, 2.600715686, etc., and if the machine rounded the last digit up or down, so you would write it as 2.6007 +/- 0.0001

\-since it is agreed that all values are uncertain, measurements are usually reported without the +/- as it is assumed that it is uncertain.

\
\-any measured value with digits
New cards
38
how to determine significant values
\-any nonzero digit is significant (ex 1999 has 4 sig figs)

\-any zeros in between nonzero digits are significant (2008 has 4 sig figs)

\-any zeros that are before nonzero digits are NOT significant (0.08 has 1 sig fig)

\-any zeros after a decimal number are significant (900.0 has 4 sig figs)

\-any zeros after a non decimal number are NOT sig figs (900 has 1 sig fig)

\-any number known as being EXACT, such as counting the amt of something, will have INFINITE significant figures
New cards

mixtures can be distillates only if the boiling point differs by:
25 degrees C
