Chapter 1 Flashcards
Property
• Characteristic
• Identity type of matter
1. building blocks (composition)
2. arrangements (structure of atoms)
Macroscopic Realm
Visible
Microscopic Realm
Invisible
Properties of Gas
- Far apart
- Fast movement
- No fixed shape/volume
- Compressible
Properties of Liquid
- Closely packed
- No fixed shape
- Fixed volume
- Not very compressible
Properties of a Solid
- Rigid
- Tightly packed
- Shape/volume
- Incompressible
Element
- Cant breakdown
- Atoms/molecules
- ONE kind of atom
Compound
- 2+ different elements
- 2+ kinds of atoms
- E.g water (H2O)
Pure substance
- Uniform composition
* E.g oxygen,water,table sugar
Mixture
- 2+ substances
- Chemical identity individually kept
- Can be separated
Homogenous Mixture
- Uniform throughout (composition)
- 1 physical state
- E.g air,sugar,water,vinegar
- Also called solutions
Heterogeneous Mixture
- Components not uniform
- 2+ physical states
- E.g cereal in milk,wood and rocks
Dalton’s Law of constant composition or Definite Proportions
• Pure compound
- elemental composition same
- e.g water = 11% H, 89% O
• Different routes for preparation
- no composition/property change
• Varying purities
- different composition
Separation of Mixtures
- Filtration
- Crystallization
- Distillation
- Chromatography
- Centrifugation
- components of physical properties different
Filtration (heterogeneous)
Methods (how to read following bullets)
- physical property used
- procedure
- Solubility
- Pouring of solid and liquid mixture onto filter, solid trapped by filter, liquid passes through filter
Crystallization
Methods (how to read following bullets)
- physical property used
- procedure
- Solubility
- Slow crystallization of solid from solution
Distillation (homogeneous)
Methods (how to read following bullets)
- physical property used
- procedure
- Volatility
- Boil off volatile component of liquid mixture
Chromatography (homogeneous)
Methods (how to read following bullets)
- physical property used
- procedure
- Ability to absorb to surface
- Passing liquid/gaseous mixture over paper or through column coated/packed with absorbent
Centrifugation
Methods (how to read following bullets)
- physical property used
- procedure
- Density
- Liquid-solid mixture rotate at high speed; solid collects at bottom of sample tube
Matter
- Physical matter
- Mass
- Occupies space
GLC: Gas-Liquid Chromatography
• Greater affinity component has for liquid layer (stationary phase)
= slower it moves
• Gas (mobile phase)
= faster is moves
Physical properties of Matter
- Changes appearance, not composition
* E.g ice to water
Chemical properties of Matter
- Different substance formed
* E.g electrolysis of water
