chemistry concerns with |
matters properties, composition, and behavior |
|
matter is |
anything that has mass and occupies space |
|
mass is the amount |
of matter contained in a thing |
|
usually the mass of common things is measured in |
grams or kilograms |
|
define properties |
qualities of a thing, especially those qualities common to a group of things |
|
extensive properties |
qualities that are or depends on the amount o the material example) mass, volume, electrical resistance of a copper wire (depends on diameter and length) flexibility of a metal sheet (depends on its thickness) |
|
intensive properties |
qualities that do not depends on the amount of the material example) melting point, density, temperature, concentration, tension |
|
golds melting point and density are two intensive properties |
that can be used to identify samples |
|
properties depends on |
material |
|
physical properties |
describe physical changes, which are changes of state or form |
|
physical changes also describe |
physical characteristics of a material |
|
chemical properties desbribe |
chemical changes chemical changes are those in which a new substance or species |
|
chemical properties also describe the tendency |
of a chemical to react |
|
chemical properties describe |
the relationships or interactions between different forms of matter |
|
chemical properties include |
chemical's stability, its reactivity with other chemicals, its toxicity, and its flammability |
|
physical properties also describe the |
relationships or interactions between matter and energy |
|
physical changes involve |
the rearrangement of a material's own particles |
|
chemical changes involve the |
reorganization of two or more substances' atoms in relation to each other |
|
physical properties depend solely |
on the relationship between the materials owm particles |
|
chemical properties depend |
on the difference between the atom's current relationship and other atoms new relationships with different atoms |
|
kinetic energy |
any form of energy that cannot be stored |
|
the particles of matter posses a type of kinetic energy called |
mechanical energy due to their continuous movement |
|
independent atoms have three types of mechanical energy/motion: |
translational (movement from place to place) rational (movement about an axis) vibrational (a repetitive back and forth motion) |
|
thermal energy |
total mechanical energy of an objects or a materials particles - also a extensive property |
|
temperature |
average mechanical energy of a particle that compose a material - intensive property |
|
increase in materials temperature indicates |
average speed of the particles has increased |
|
heat |
energy transferred from one body to another because of a difference in temperature |
|
catch 22 |
thermometer cannot measure the temperature without altering it |
|
operational definition |
consists of observable characteristics that help us classify things as belonging or not belonging to the defined group |
|
conceptual definitions |
explain what operational definitions describe |
|
kinetic molecular theory exaplins |
what happens to matter when the kinetic energy of particles changes |
|
kinetic molecular theory key points |
- all matter made up of tiny particles - there is empty space between particles - particles are always moving. their freedom to move depends on whether they are in a solid, liquid, or gas - the particles move because of energy. the amount of energy particles have determine how fast the particles move and how much or far they move |
|
solid conceptual definiton |
- each particle bounces around pushing the ones surrounding it outward - the particles have not spread far enough apart for any particle to fit in the gap between the particles surrounding it so the structure remains intact |
|
liquid conceptual definition |
the particles are travelling faster and striking each other harder as a result they have spread apart to an extent where they can slip by one another |
|
gas conceptual definition |
the particles have been struck with enough force to escape their attractions to other particles in the liquid they are now either too far apart of moving too fast for their attractions to affect their movement |
|
phase change |
freezing: liquid to solid melting: solid to liquid evaporation (vaporization): liquid to gas condensation: gas to liquid sublimation: solid to gas deposition: gas to solid |
|
particles can mean |
atoms, molecules, or ions |
|
melting point |
temperature of its solid as it changes to a liquid |
|
melting point depends on |
- strength of the attractive forces (bond strength) - mass/symmetry of particles |
|
vapour |
gas formed by substance that boils above room temperature is called vapour |
|
boiling |
vigorous bubbling that occurs within the body of a liquid as it vaporizes internally |
|
bubble |
is a quantity of gas or vapour surrounded by liquid |
|
one definition of boiling point is |
the temperature at which the substances vapour pressure (the pressure inside that bubble) equals the surrounding air pressure |
|
another definition of boiling point is |
substancese highest possible temperature in the liquid state at any given atmospheric pressure |
|
what are the properties relevant to boiling |
boiling point, vapour pressure, volatility |
|
volatile substances are |
substances that readily evaporate or evaporate at high rates - high vapour pressure and low boiling points |
|
heat of gusion |
amount of heat required to melt a specified amount of substance at its melting point |
|
potential energy |
stored energy |
|
heat of fusion measured in |
joules per gram |
|
heat of vaporization |
amount of heat required to evaporate a specified amount of a substance at its boiling point |
|
as the s olid melts slowly in its own liquid |
the temperature of the liquid does not rise because any added kinetic energy is absorbed by the solid and converted into potential energy through melting |
|
height = thickness |
= mass/l*w*density |
|
reactivity |
refers to whether a substance reacts to its reaction rate |
|
reactivity depends on |
- path from reactants to products, particularly which reactant bonds require breaking - depend on properties such as reactant concentration - whether or not a reaction will occur depends on the beginning and end states |
|
heat of formation |
heat released when a substance is formed from its elements - measured in joules per gram |
|
heat of combustion |
- heat released when a specified amount of a substance undergoes complete combustion with oxygen - measured in joules or kilojoules pere gram |
