    Properties of Matter

    Matter exhibits two types of properties :

    Physical property is displayed by a sample ofmatter without undergoing any change in itscomposition

    It includes mass, color, temperature, volume,density, melting point, etc.

    Chemical property is displayed by a sample ofmatter as it undergoes a change in its composition.

    This includes flammability, toxicity, reactivity,acidity, corrosiveness, etc.

    Matter

    In a physical change, there is no change incomposition; no new substances are formed.

    Examples: evaporation, melting, dissolution,crystallization

    In a chemical change or chemical reaction,matterundergoes a change in composition; newsubstance are formed.

    Examples: corrosion of metals, polymerization of

    alkene, fermentation of food.

    Element, Substance and Compound

    Substance is matter that has a definite compositionand do not vary from one sample to another.

    Substances are either elements or compounds

    Element is matter that cannot be broken down intosimpler substances by chemical reaction.

    Compound is made up of two or more elements,chemically bonded in definite proportions and can

    be broken down into simpler substances.

    Terms Substance and Compound are oftenused synonymously

    Mixture

    A mixture can contain two or more differentcomponents in varying proportions.

    A homogeneous mixture has the samecomposition throughout a sample of matter.Components are indistinguishable. Examples: alloy,air, salt water.

    A heterogeneous mixture varies in composition

    from one part of the mixture to another.Components are distinguishable. Examples: Mixtureof salt and charcoal.

    Modern Chemistry

    As of 1850s onwards, chemists used weighing

    balance more systematically to measure mass (aquantity of matter) in their research

    Since then, better equipments and devices were

    progressively invented and used; then chemistryinvolves doing all sorts of measurements (simpleand complex; visual and aided)

    So, what is it that chemists measure?All sort of properties of matter - distance, vol., temp.,time, energy, area, density, velocity, frequency,luminescence, light absorbance ... etc

    Scientific measurement and unit6/4/201328

    All measurements contains 2 essential pieces ofinformation:

    (i) a number (the quantitative piece)

    (ii) a unit (the qualitative piece)

    Example:

    The number 50 is somewhat meaningless without

    Units.Consider this:

    Daily wage = RM50/day

    wt of an egg = 50g/egg

    size of a square paper = 50cm x 50 cm

    Scale, Unit and Standard

    Results of a measurement are always expressed in some kindof ascale that is defined in terms of a particular kind of unit

    Example : Scale of lengthBritish Imperial system French Colonial system

    Inch = base unit Millimetre = base unit12 inch = 1 foot*** 10 mm = 1 cm

    3 feet = 1 yard 100 cm = 1 metre***

    1760 yards = 1 mile 1000 m = 1 km

    For comparison and communication purposes, the scale mustbe defined by astandard ( a reference value forcomparison)

    The scales of length are related & interconvertible by aconversion factor

    2.54 cm = 1 inch1 cm = 0.3937 inch

    Before 1960, Science uses the Metric System of UnitsAfter 1960, the International System of Units

    (SI = Le Systeme Internationale) was proposed.

    A modern version of the Metric System of Units.

    It is used globally in science, industry and commerce

    as a standard/reference measurement units.

    The seven base/standard units of the SI system are:

    length meter m

    Exact numbers

    Exact numbers = numbers that are known/exact by

    definition They are called exact values because they are

    measured in complete units and are not dividedinto smaller parts.

    Examples of exact values: 17 people; 28 cars

    Conversion factors have an infinite (never ending)number of significant figures.

    Examples:

    MeasurementChemistry is an experimental science; it involves

    measurements of properties of matter

    Measuring properties of matter involves 3 parameters:(a) magnitude/quantity(b) base unit or dimension

    (c) uncertainty/error

    Example: weighing a sample of salt(a) average magnitude = 5.7076(b) base unit = gram(c) uncertainty (using 4 different balances)

    5.6785 g; 5.702 g; 5.65 g; 5.8 g

    So, what is the true/real weight of the salt sample?

    Uncertainty in measurement

    Measurement of a property of matter involves 2

    parameters(A) PRECISION(B) ACCURACY

    (A) PRECISION = degree of reproducibility i.e.

    (a) how close are the measurements to each other(b) how well they agree with each other

    (B) ACCURACY = how close measurements are to thetrue/accepted value

    AIM = experimental measurements must be as preciseand accurate as possible; i.e. least possible errors

    We make repeated measurements; calculate the mean,x and the standard deviation, s,

    We hope (but not always correctly) that good precisionimplies good accuracy.

    Significant figures

    When we measure quantities, esp. for the very first time,it is difficult to know if measurement is accurate.

    To know if a measurement is accurate, you need toknow its true value. If you knew its true value, then,

    you dont need to do the measurement!

    But, it is easy to know if your measurements are precise.One indicator of the preciseness of a measurement is

    the number of significant figures in a measurednumber.

    Significant figures relate to certainty of themeasurement. As the number of significant figures

    increases, the more certain is the measurement.

    Number of significant figures

    Significant figures = number of digits that expressesthe result to the true measured precision

    Example: Consider a number

    92.154 (5 sig. Figures)

    Start from the left and count the digits. There is5 significant figuresin this number

    DO NOT worry about the decimal point !!

    Zeroes in significant figures

    Zeroes are special digits

    Sometimes they count as a sig. digit, sometimes theydont. It depends on their position.

    Example: 0.092060 has 5 significant figures

    First two zeroes are not significant, they are justposition holders

    So, when counting significant digits, always start fromthe left and don't start counting until you meet the firstnon-zero digit. Then everything after that counts,including the zeroes !!

    Rules for counting significant figures are summarizedbelow.

    Leading zeros are not significant.0.421 has three significant figures.

    Zeros within a number are always significant.Both 4012 and 40.05 contain four significant figures.

    Trailing zeros in the whole number are not significant.Thus, 470,000 has two significant figures.

    Trailing zeros that aren't needed to hold the decimalpoint are significant.For example, 114.20 has five significant figures.

    Scientific notation

    A good way to avoid problems of significant and non-

    significant zeroes is to use scientific notation

    Example

    920000 = 9.2 x 105 Has 2 sig. figs.

    0.092067 = 9.2067 X 10-2 Has 5 sig. figs.

    0.092 = 9.2 X 10-2 Has 2 sig. figs.

    0.0920 = 9.20 X 10-2 Has 3 sig. figs.

    When using scientific notation, all digits includingzeroes are significant

    Rounding off

    Chemistry is an inexact science

    All physical measurements have some error

    Thus, there is some inexactness in the last digit of anynumber

    Use what ever round-off procedures you so choose

    Reasonably close answers are acceptable

    Rounding significant figures

    A salt sample is weighed 3 times:12.4330 g 12.4334 g 12.4335 g 6 sig. figures

    Calculate the average:(12.4337 + 12.4334 + 12.4335) / 3 = 12.43353333(calculator display)

    Makes no sense to write down all the numbers; averagevalue cannot have sig. figures more than that of themeasurements.

    Need to round off the number to the correct number ofsig. figures.

    In this caseInsignificant digits 3333 are dropped2.43353333 is rounded off to 6 sig. figures; i.e.12.4335

    Rounding off numbers

    When insignificant digits are dropped from anumber, the last digit should be rounded for bestaccuracy

    Example :

    To determine how the last digit should be rounded,

    convert the digits to be dropped to a decimal fraction( .333333); then follow the rules for rounding numbers

    Rules for rounding numbers to thecorrect number of significant figures

    1. If the decimal fraction is greater than ,

    add one to the last digit retained

    2. If the decimal fraction is less than ,

    do not change the last retained digit

    3. If the decimal fraction is exactly ,

    add one to the last digit retained if it is odd

    Examples

    Round off 9.473, 9.437, 9.450 & 9.750 to 2 sig. figures.

    6/4/201355

    For 9.473 the last digit retained is 4; decimal fraction is.73. So Rule #1 applies; 9.473 is rounded to 9.5

    For 9.437 the last digit retained is 4; the decimalfraction is .37. So Rule #2 applies; 9.437 rounded to 9.4

    For 9.450 the last digit retained is 4; the decimalfraction is .50. So Rule #3 applies; 450 is rounded

    to 9.4

    For 9.750 the last digit retained is 7; the decimalfraction is .50. So Rule #3 applies; 9.750 is rounded

    to 9.8
