Describing Matter
Extensive Properties
An extensive property is a property that depends on the amount of matter in a sample.
The mass of an object is a measure of the amount of matter the object contains.
The volume of an object is a measure of the space occupied by the object.

3. The hardness of a bowling ball is an example of an intensive property.

12. 2.1
States of Matter
Gases
A gas is a form of matter that takes both the shape and volume of its container.
The arrangement of particles is different in solids, liquids, and gases. In a gas, the particles are relatively far apart and can move freely. Relating Cause and Effect Use the arrangements of their particles to explain the general shape and volume of solids and gases.

13. 2.1
States of Matter
Vapor describes the gaseous state of a substance that is generally a liquid or solid at room temperature, as in water vapor.

14. 2.1
Physical Changes
During a physical change, some properties of a material change, but the composition of the material does not change.
As gallium melts in a person’s hand, the shape of the sample changes, but the composition of the material does not change.
The silvery substance in the photograph is gallium, which has a melting point of 30°C. Inferring What can you infer about the temperature of the hand holding the gallium?

15. Physical changes can be classified as reversible or irreversible.
2.1
Physical Changes
Physical changes can be classified as reversible or irreversible.
All physical changes that involve a change from one state to another are reversible.
Cutting hair, filing nails, and cracking an egg are examples of irreversible physical changes.

16. 2.2
Classifying Mixtures
A mixture is a physical blend of two or more components.
A salad bar provides a range of items. Customers choose how much of each item to use in their salads. Each salad has a different composition.
You can choose the amount of each item you select from a salad bar. So your salad is unlikely to have the same composition as other salads containing the same items.

17. Classifying Mixtures Classifying Mixtures 2.2
How can mixtures be classified?
Based on the distribution of their components, mixtures can be classified as
heterogeneous mixtures or
homogeneous mixtures.

18. Classifying Mixtures 2.2 Heterogeneous Mixtures
A mixture in which the composition is not uniform throughout is a heterogeneous mixture.

19. Classifying Mixtures 2.2 Homogeneous Mixtures
A mixture in which the composition is uniform throughout is a homogeneous mixture.
Another name for a homogeneous mixture is a solution.

20. 2.2
Classifying Mixtures
The term phase is used to describe any part of a sample with uniform composition and properties.
A homogenous mixture consists of a single phase.
A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases.

21. 2.2
Classifying Mixtures
When oil and vinegar are mixed they form layers, or phases. The oil phase floats on the water phase.
Olive oil and vinegar are homogeneous mixtures. The substances in these mixtures are evenly distributed. When olive oil is mixed with vinegar, they form a heterogeneous mixture with two distinct phases.

24. Separating Mixtures Separating Mixtures 2.2
How can mixtures be separated?
Differences in physical properties can be used to separate mixtures.
Two examples of methods for separating mixtures are filtration and distillation

25. Separating Mixtures 2.2 Filtration
The process that separates a solid from the liquid in a heterogeneous mixture is called filtration.
A colander is used to separate pasta from the water in which it was cooked. This process is a type of filtration.
A colander is used to separate pasta from the water in which it was cooked. This process is a type of filtration.

26. Separating Mixtures 2.2 Distillation
During a distillation, a liquid is boiled to produce a vapor that is then condensed into a liquid.
A distillation can be used to remove impurities from water. As liquid water changes into water vapor, substances dissolved in the water are left behind in the distillation flask. Inferring What can you infer about the boiling points of substances dissolved in the impure water?

27. Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
How are elements and compounds different?
An element is the simplest form of matter that has a unique set of properties.
A compound is a substance that contains two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed proportion.
Compounds can be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means, but elements cannot.

28. Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Breaking Down Compounds
A chemical change is a change that produces matter with a different composition than the original matter.
When table sugar is heated, it goes through a series of chemical changes.
When table sugar is heated, it goes through a series of chemical changes. The final products of these changes are solid carbon and water vapor.

29. Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
The final products of these chemical changes are solid carbon and water vapor. The following diagram summarizes the process.

30. Distinguishing Elements and Compounds
Properties of Compounds
In general, the properties of compounds are quite different from those of their component elements.
When the elements sodium and chlorine combine chemically to form sodium chloride, there is a change in composition and a change in properties.

31. Distinguishing Substances and Mixtures
How can substances and mixtures be distinguished?
If the composition of a material is fixed, the material is a substance. If the composition of a material may vary, the material is a mixture.

32. 2.3 This flowchart summarizes the process for classifying matter.
The flow chart summarizes the process for classifying matter. Any sample of matter is either an element, a compound, or a mixture. Interpreting Diagrams What is the key difference between a substance and a solution?

What do chemists use to represent elements and compounds?

34. 2.3
Symbols and Formulas
Chemists use chemical symbols to represent elements, and chemical formulas to represent compounds.
These chemical symbols were used in earlier centuries.
The symbols used to represent elements have changed over time. Alchemists and the English chemist John Dalton (1766–1844) both used drawings to represent chemical elements. Today, elements are represented by one- or two-letter symbols.

Clues to chemical change often have practical applications. a) Bubbles of carbon dioxide gas form when a geologist puts acid on a rock that contains compounds called carbonates. b) When a test strip is dipped in urine, the color change is used to estimate the level of the sugar glucose in urine. c) One step in the production of cheese is a reaction that causes milk to separate into solid curds and liquid whey.

46. Conservation of Mass Conservation of Mass 2.4
How are the mass of the reactants and the mass of the products of a chemical reaction related?
During any chemical reaction, the mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants.

47. 2.4
Conservation of Mass
The law of conservation of mass states that in any physical change or chemical reaction, mass is conserved.
The conservation of mass is easily observed when a change occurs in a closed container.
When the liquids in photograph A are mixed, they react. None of the products are gases. Analyzing Data How do you know that a reaction took place and that mass was conserved during the reaction?
