1 CHAPTER 1 Matter & Measurement General, Organic, & Biological Chemistry Janice Gorzynski Smith CHAPTER 1: Matter & Measurement Learning Objectives:! Definition of matter! Solids, liquids, and gases! Physical vs chemical properties and changes! Pure substances: Elements & Compounds! Mixtures: Heterogeneous vs Homogeneous! Units of the metric system & common prefixes! Measured vs exact numbers! Significant figures: identify & use in calculations! Scientific Notation! Conversion factors for calculations to cancel units! The three temperature scales! Density and Specific Gravity 2

2 Matter Definition Matter is anything that has mass and takes up volume. Naturally occurring: cotton sand digoxin, a cardiac drug Synthetic (human-made): nylon Styrofoam ibuprofen 3 Matter Solids, Liquids, Gases The Solid State: A solid has a definite volume. It maintains its shape regardless of its container. Solid particles lie close together in a regular pattern. The Liquid State: A liquid has a definite volume. It takes the shape of its container. The Gas State: A gas has no definite shape; it assumes the shape of its container. It has no definite volume; it assumes Liquid particles are the volume of its close together but can container. move past one Gas particles are very another. far apart and move around randomly. 4

3 Matter Physical Properties Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition of the material. boiling point color melting point solubility odor state of matter 5 Matter Chemical Properties Chemical properties determine how a substance can be converted into another substance. Chemical change is the chemical reaction that converts one substance into another (Chapters 5 and 6). 6

4 Matter Pure Substances: Elements Pure Substances A pure substance is composed of only a single component (atom or molecule). It has a constant composition, regardless of sample size or origin of sample. It cannot be broken down to other pure substances by a physical change. An element is a pure substance that cannot be broken down by a chemical change. aluminum metal (Al) 7 Matter Pure Substances: Compounds A compound is a pure substance formed by chemically joining two or more elements. table salt (NaCl) 8

5 Matter Mixtures All matter can be classified as either a pure substance or a mixture. Mixtures Mixtures are composed of more than one component. They can have varying composition (any combination of solid, liquid, and gas). Mixtures can be separated into their components by a physical process. 9 Matter Mixtures: Heterogeneous & Homogeneous Homogeneous Mixture Example: simple syrup Heterogeneous Mixture Example: vinaigrette 10

6 Matter Definition 11 Metric System Each type of measurement has a base unit in the metric system. 12

7 Common Prefixes The prefix of the unit name indicates if the unit is larger or smaller than the base unit. 13 Common Prefixes The base unit of length is the meter (m). 1 kilometer (km) = 1,000 meters (m) 1 km = 1,000 m 1 millimeter (mm) = meters (m) 1 mm = m 1 centimeter (cm) = 0.01 meters (m) 1 cm = 0.01 m 14

8 Common Prefixes Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. Weight is the force that matter feels due to gravity. The base unit of mass is the gram (g). 1 kilogram (kg) = 1,000 grams (g) 1 kg = 1,000 g 1 milligram (mg) = grams (g) 1 mg = g 15 Common Prefixes The base unit of volume is the liter (L). 1 kiloliter (kl) = 1,000 liters (L) 1 kl = 1,000 L 1 milliliter (ml) = liters (L) 1 ml = L Volume = Length x Width x Height = cm x cm x cm = cm 3 1 ml = 1 cm 3 = 1 cc 16

9 Units 17 Exact Numbers An exact number results from counting objects or is part of a definition. 10 fingers 10 toes 1 meter = 100 centimeters An inexact number results from a measurement or observation and contains some uncertainty cm g ml 18

10 Significant Figures Significant figures are all the digits in a measured number including one estimated digit. All nonzero digits are always significant g g 3 sig. figures 6 sig. figures 19 Significant Figures Rule 1: A zero counts as a significant figure when it occurs: between two nonzero digits g ml 4 sig. figures 5 sig. figures at the end of a number with a decimal place cm 620. lb 5 sig. figures 3 sig. figures 20

11 Significant Figures Rule 2: A zero does not count as a significant figure when it occurs: at the beginning of a number mg ml 3 sig. figures 1 sig. figure at the end of a number that does not have a decimal 2570 m m 3 sig. figures 5 sig. figures 21 Significant Figures: Multiplication & Division Multiplication/Division Rules: The answer has the same number of significant figures as the original number with the fewest significant figures. 4 sig. figures miles 5.5 hour = miles hour 2 sig. figures Answer must have 2 sig. figures. 22

12 to be retained Significant Figures: Multiplication & Division to be dropped miles hour first digit to be dropped If the first digit to be dropped is: between 0 and 4 Then: = 64 miles hour 2 sig. figures Answer drop it and all remaining digits between 5 and 9 round up the last digit to be retained by adding 1 23 Significant Figures: Addition & Subtraction Addition/Subtraction Rules: The answer has the same number of decimal places as the original number with the fewest decimal places kg 3.6 kg 6.51 kg 2 decimal places 1 decimal place answer must have 1 decimal place = 6.5 kg final answer 1 decimal place 24

13 Scientific Notation In scientific notation, a number is written as: y x 10 x Coefficient: A number between 1 and 10. Exponent: Any positive or negative whole number. 25 Scientific Notation When the exponent x is positive, move the decimal point x places to the right x 10 2 = When the exponent x is negative, move the decimal point x places to the left x 10 2 =

14 Conversion Factors Conversion factor: A term that converts a quantity in one unit to a quantity in another unit. original quantity x conversion factor = desired quantity Conversion factors are usually written as equalities lb = 1 kg To use them, they must be written as fractions lb 1 kg or 1 kg 2.21 lb 27 Conversion Factors Factor-label method: Using conversion factors to convert a quantity in one unit to a quantity in another unit. units are treated like numbers make sure all unwanted units cancel To convert 130 lb into kilograms: 130 lb x conversion factor =? kg original quantity desired quantity 28

15 Conversion Factors 130 lb x 2.21 lb 1 kg or 1 kg 2.21 lb Answer 2 sig. figures = 59 kg The bottom conversion factor has the original unit in the denominator. The unwanted unit lb cancels. The desired unit kg does not cancel. 29 Temperature Temperature is a measure of how hot or cold an object is. Three temperature scales are used: 1. Degrees Fahrenheit ( o F) 2. Degrees Celsius ( o C) 3. Kelvin (K) To convert from o C to o F: To convert from o F to o C: o o F = 1.8( o C) + 32 C = o F! To convert from o C to K: To convert from K to o C: K = o C o C = K!

16 Temperature 31 Density Density: A physical property that relates the mass of a substance to its volume. density = mass (g) volume (ml or cc) To convert volume (ml) to mass (g): To convert mass (g) to volume (ml): ml x g ml = g g x ml g = ml density inverse of density 32

17 Specific Gravity Specific gravity: A quantity that compares the density of a substance with the density of water at the same temperature. specific gravity = density of a substance (g/ml) density of water (g/ml) The units of the numerator (g/ml) cancel the units of the denominator (g/ml). The specific gravity of a substance is equal to its density, but contains no units. 33
