Chapter 5 – Properties and Changes of Matter

1. Chapter 5 – Properties and Changes of Matter

2. Section 1 Physical Properties A. Physical property—any characteristic of matter that can be observed without changing the identity of the material. 1. Physical properties include color, shape, smell, taste, mass, volume, and density.

3. a. Density—amount of mass in a given volume; a golf ball would have greater density than a table-tennis ball; the formula for density is: density (g/cm 3) = mass (g) / volume (cm 3)

4. b. Density can be used to identify unknown substances; a person could determine the composition of a piece of jewelry by comparing its density with the density of a known substance such as silver or gold. Pyrite density = 5.01 g/cm 3 Gold density = 19.3g/cm 3

5. 2.State of matter—whether a substance is a solid, liquid, or a gas at a particular temperature and pressure.

6. 3.Some physical properties are size-dependent (length, width, height, volume, and mass) while others are size-independent (density, color, state).

7. a. Size-Dependent • If you break a ruler, each piece will have a different mass and volume than the whole ruler. • m=34g m=22g m=12g • V=17cm3 v=11cm3 v=6cm3

8. b. Size-Independent • No matter what physically changes, the ruler it is still a solid, brown object with a density of 0.5g/cm3. • m=34g m=22g m=12g • V=17cm3 v=11cm3 v=6cm3 • D= 2g/cm3 D= 2g/cm3 D= 2g/cm3

9. 4. Additional Physical Properties: • Magnetic / not magnetic • Good conductor / poor conductor (of heat, sound or electricity) • Melting, freezing, and boiling points • Shiny / dull • Malleable – can be hammered into shapes • Ductile – can be pulled into wires

10. B. Physical Properties of Acids and Bases 1. Acid – pH of 0-6.9 and taste sour. Example: citrus fruit & soda 2. Neutral – pH of 7. Example: water 3. Bases – pH of 7.1 – 14, taste bitter, and feel slippery. Example: soap & ammonia

12. List the physical properties:

13. Section 2 Chemical Properties A. Chemical property—characteristic of something that allows it to change to something new.

14. 1. Chemical properties include: • Flammability – ability to burn • Toxicity – ability to be poisonous • Reactivity – ability to react with other materials Example: When a half-eaten apple turns brown in the air, a chemical reaction with oxygen has occurred.

15. 2.Silver and gold have lower reactivity than many other metals, which helps make them good choices for jewelry.

16. 3. Chlorine compounds change the chemical properties of pool water, making it more acidic in order to eliminate algae, bacteria, and insects. a. Standing water, without added chlorine, can become a breeding ground for insects, such as mosquitoes. b. Plants, algae, and bacteria can make a pool unfit for swimming. c. The more acidic chlorinated pool water can also irritate the skin and eyes of swimmers.

17. 4. Chemical Properties of Acids and Bases a. Acids react easily with metals. 1. Some are safe to eat: vinegar, tomatoes, lemons, & aspirin.

18. 2. Other can damage living tissue: acid rain, sulfuric acid, & stomach acid. University of California – Irvine. She wore flip-flops while working in the chemistry lab.

19. b. Bases can be as dangerous as acids. 1. Some are safe to use: antacid, deodorant, & laxative.

20. 2. Others will damage living tissue: ammonia, drain cleaner, & fertilizer.

21. c. Salts Salt flats of Utah 1. Are compounds of metal and nonmetal that form when acids and bases react. Examples: • Sodium Chloride (table salt) • Calcium carbonate (chalk) • Ammonium chloride (in batteries)

22. What are their chemical properties:

23. Section 3 Physical and Chemical Changes A. Physical change—any change in size, shape, form, or state where the identity of the matter stays the same. 1. Cutting a watermelon into slices is an example of a physical change because each piece still has the properties of a watermelon.

24. 2. Change of state is a common physical change. a. Solid to liquid (H2O melting) b. Liquid to solid (H2O freezing) c. Liquid to gas (H2O boiling and creating H2O steam) d. Gas to liquid (H2O vapor condensing into H2O liquid such as when dew forms)

25. B. Chemical change—one material changes into a different material with different properties or characteristics. 1. Examples of chemical changes include digestion, cooking, photosynthesis, iron rusting, and oil burning.

26. 2. In a chemical change, new materials are formed that are different from the starting materials. 3. A chemical change cannot easily be reversed.

27. 4.Signs of chemical changes include: • the release or absorption of energy in the form of light, heat, or sound • formation of a gas or solid • a color change **WARNING** THESE CAN SOMETIMES OCCUR IN A PHYSICAL CHANGE TOO!!! A material with different properties MUST result from a chemical change, but not in a physical change.

28. C. Chemical and Physical changes in nature 1. Leaves changing color indicates a natural chemical change. 2. Weathering of Earth’s surface is a physical change that takes place over long time periods.

29. 3. Chemical weathering can create cave formations. 4.Acid rain is a form of unnatural chemical change.
