Chapter 3: Matter—Properties

and Changes
Section 3.1 Properties of Matter
What is matter?
• Anything that has mass and takes
up space
• Mass is a measurement of the
amount of matter in an object. It is
different than weight which
measures the amount of matter
AND the gravitational pull on an
object.
Now that you’re an expert, which of the
following is matter?
Matter Not Matter
1. A book
2. A house
  3. A thought
              
4. Your brain
5. Light
6. Your cell phone
7. Radio waves
There is so many different kinds of
matter, that we need to organize it.
Substances have a uniform and unchanging
composition
examples: salt,

water,

sugar
Physical Properties of Matter
A characteristic that can be observed
or measured without changing the
composition of the sample
Properties such as density, color, odor,
taste, hardness, melting point, boiling
point
Physical Properties of Matter: Two Types

1. Extensive: dependent on the amount of


substance present
--length, volume
2. Intensive: independent of the amount of
substance present
--density, melting point, boiling point
--used to identify substances
Chemical Properties
Ability or inability of a substance to
combine with or change into one or
more other substances
Physical Chemical
Properties Properties
• Conducts electricity • Forms dark blue
• Malleable solution with
• Ductile ammonia
• Reddish brown • Forms green
• Shiny compound when
• Density = 8.92 g/cm3 exposed to air
• Melting pt = 1085C
• Boiling pt = 2570C
Classify each as a physical or
chemical property:
1. Iron and oxygen form rust.
2. Iron is more dense than aluminum
3. Magnesium burns brightly when ignited.
4. Oil and water do not mix.
5. Mercury melts at -39°C.
States of Matter
Classification based upon the following:
 Particle arrangement
 Energy of particles
 Distance between particles
State of matter is dependent on
temperature and pressure of the
surroundings
3 states of matter
States of Matter
1. Solid—has a definite shape and volume
exs: wood, desk, shoes, sugar
-particles are tightly packed,
incompressible
States of Matter
2. Liquids—have a constant volume,
-no definite shape
-takes the shape of its container
-particles are not held rigidly in place,
allows material to
flow
States of Matter
3. Gases—have no definite shape or
volume
-particles are very far apart
-particles are easily compressed
Section 3.2

Changes in Matter
Physical Change
• Changes in a substance’s appearance, not in
composition
Types of physical changes:
•Bend, grind, crumple
•Split, crush, twist
•Boil, freeze, melt, vaporize
(changes of state or phase)
Chemical Changes
• A change in the composition of a
substance
• Also called a chemical change or
chemical reaction
• Ex: rust, corrode, tarnish, rot,
burn, ferment, explode, oxidize

absorbed or released
3. Odor changes
or production

4. Gas production

5. Precipitate

Classify each as a physical or
chemical change:
1. A dead fish rotting
2. Dissolving salt in water
3. Boiling salt water until only salt remains
4. Melting steel
5. Bending steel
6. Cracking ice
Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass is neither created nor destroyed
during a chemical reaction—it is
conserved. (Antoine Lavoisier)

Mass of reactants = Mass of products


Antoine Lavoisier—a
French scientist
o 1743-1794
o Father of Modern
Chemistry
o One of the first to use
an analytical balance
When you burn a big pile of wood, why do
you only end up with a tiny pile of ashes?
In an experiment, 10.00 g of red mercury (II) oxide
powder is placed in an open flask and heated until it
is converted to liquid mercury and oxygen gas. The
liquid mercury has a mass of 9.26 g. What is the
mass of oxygen formed in the reaction?
Practice problems—pg. 65 #6, 7, 9
Section 3.3

Mixtures of Matter
Mixtures
• A combination of 2 or more pure substances
in which each pure substance retains its
individual chemical properties.
Types of Mixtures
1. Heterogeneous—individual substances
remain distinct
Types of Mixtures
2. Homogeneous—has a constant
composition throughout
-called a solution
Types of Solutions
• Gas-gas: air
• Gas-liquid: soft drinks
• Liquid-gas: moist air
• Liquid-liquid: vinegar
• Solid-liquid: Crystal Light
• Solid-solid: steel (called
“alloys”—mixture of metals
producing greater strength)
Separating Mixtures
1. Physical separation:
hand selection or
pouring through sieves
Separating Mixtures
2. Filtration—uses a
porous barrier to separate
a solid from a liquid
Separating Mixtures
3. Distillation—based on
differences in the
boiling points of the
substances involved
Separating Mixtures
4. Crystallization—results
in the formation of pure
solid particles of a
substance from a solution
containing the dissolved
substance
Separating Mixtures
5. Chromatography—
separating the
components of a mixture
based on the tendency of
each to travel across the
surface of another
material.
Section 3.4

Elements and compounds


Elements
• A pure substance that cannot be broken
down into simpler substances by physical or
chemical means
• 91 naturally occurring elements
• In mid 1800’s, no chart for organizing the
elements that were known at the time
Dmitri Mendeleev--1869

-Organized the known


elements into a table of
rows and columns based
on their similarities and
masses.
Periodic table
• Organized into horizontal rows called
periods and vertical columns called families
• Called “periodic” because properties of
elements repeat as you move from period to
period
• Mendeleev’s table left blank spaces for
elements yet to be discovered and predicted
their properties
Compounds
• A combination of 2 or more different
elements that are combined chemically
• Most of the matter in the universe are
compounds
• Ex: water, sugar, salt, aspirin

Chemical symbols
• Make it easy to write the formulas for chemical
compounds
• Ex: salt water
NaCl

H2O
Compounds
• Can be broken down into simpler
substances by chemical means
• Usually requires energy
Compounds
• Properties of a compound are different from
its component elements
• Ex: water—liquid at
room temp.
Hydrogen—a
colorless,
tasteless gas

Oxygen—a
colorless,
tasteless gas
Sodium chloride
• As a compound, it is a white, unreactive
solid that adds flavor to food
• Its component elements:
Chlorine—poisonous, pale,
green gas Sodium—a highly
reactive element
that fizzes in water
Law of Definite Proportions
• John Dalton
• A pure substance will always have the same
percent by weight
• Ex: water (H2O) = 11.2 % hydrogen
88.8% oxygen
To find percent by mass:
Percent by mass = mass of element x 100
mass of compound
Analysis of sugar:
20.0 g sugar 500.0 g sugar

Carbon 8.44 g 42.2% Carbon 211.0 g 42.2%

Hydrogen 1.30 g 6.5% Hydrogen 32.5 g 6.5%

Oxygen 10.26 g 51.30% Oxygen 256.5 g 51.30%


Therefore…
• Sugar always has the same proportions of
ingredients
• If a substance has different proportions, it is
a different substance
A 78.8 g sample of an unknown compound contains
12.4 g of hydrogen. What is the percent by mass of
hydrogen in the compound?
Percent by mass = mass of element x 100
mass of compound
Practice problems—pg. 76 #21-24
Law of Multiple Proportions
• When different compounds are formed
using the same elements, different masses
of one element combine with the same
relative mass of the other element in small,
whole number ratios.
