The Study of Chemistry
is the study of matter and the changes that matter undergoes. is anything that has mass and occupies space.
1.1
Chemistry Matter
The Study of Chemistry
Scientists follow a set of guidelines known as the scientific method: • gather data via observations and experiments
• identify patterns or trends in the collected data
• summarize their findings with a law
• formulate a hypothesis
• with time a hypothesis may evolve into a theory
Classification of Matter
Chemists classify matter as either a substance or a mixture of substances. A substance is a form of matter that has definite composition and distinct properties. Substances can be either elements or compounds. Substances differ from one another in composition and may be identified by appearance, smell, taste, and other properties.

Classification of Matter
All substances can, in principle, exist as a solid, liquid or gas. Solids and liquids are referred to collectively as the condensed phases. The three states of matter can be interconverted without changing the chemical composition of the substance.
Classification of Matter
Solids have particles that are held closely together in an ordered fashion.
Particles in a liquid are close together but are not held rigidly in position. Take the shape of their container.
Particles in a gas have significant separation from each other and move freely. Take the shape of their container.

Classification of Matter
An element is a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances by chemical means. An element may consist of atoms or molecules.
Atoms of an element
Molecular form of an element
Classification of Matter
A compound is a substance composed of two or more elements chemically united in fixed proportions. A compound cannot be separated into simpler substances by any physical process. Separation of a compound into its constituent elements requires a chemical reaction. A compound may consist of molecules or ions, which will be discussed later. Molecules of a
compound
Most elements can combine with other elements to form compounds.
Classification of Matter
A mixture is a physical combination of two or more substances. A homogeneous mixture is uniform throughout. A heterogeneous mixture is not uniform throughout.

Classification of Matter
A mixture can be separated by physical means into pure components without changing the identities of the components.
Classification of Matter
Scientific Measurement 1.3
Properties that can be measured are called quantitative properties.
A measured quantity must always include a unit.
The English system has units such as the foot, gallon, pound, etc.
The metric system includes units such as the meter, liter, kilogram, etc.

Scientific Measurement
The revised metric system is called the International System of Units and was designed for universal use by scientists.
Only three nations have not officially adopted SI Units. They are Myanmar (Burma), Liberia, and the United States.
Scientific Measurement
The revised metric system is called the International System of Units and was designed for universal use by scientists. There are seven SI base units
Scientific Measurement
The magnitude of a unit may be tailored to a particular application using prefixes.

Scientific Measurement
There are two temperature scales used in Chemistry:
The Celsius scale (⁰C) Freezing point (pure water): 0⁰C Boiling point (pure water): 100⁰C
The Kelvin scale (K)
The absolute scale Lowest possible temperature: 0 K (absolute zero)
K = ⁰C + 273.15
Anders Celsius 1701-1744 CE
Scientific Measurement
Ethylene glycol is a liquid organic compound that is used as an antifreeze in car radiators. It freezes at –12⁰C and boils at 197⁰C. Express the two temperatures using the Kelvin scale. Solution: Step 1: Use the equation below to convert to Kelvin.
Freezing point: –12⁰C + 273 = 261 K
Boiling point: 197⁰C + 273 = 470 K
K = ⁰C + 273.15
Lord Kelvin 1824-1907 CE
Scientific Measurement
The Fahrenheit scale is common in the United States. The size of a degree on the Fahrenheit scale is only 5/9 of a degree on the Celsius scale.
Temp in ⁰F = (9/5 × temp in ⁰C ) + 32⁰F
Daniel Fahrenheit 1686-1736 CE

Scientific Measurement
The temperature of the surface of the sun is about 6300⁰C. What is this temperature in degrees Fahrenheit? Solution: Step 1: Use the equation below to convert to Fahrenheit.
(9/5 x 6300⁰C) + 32⁰F = 1.1x104 ⁰F
Temp in ⁰F = (9/5 × temp in ⁰C ) + 32⁰F
Scientific Measurement
There are many units (such as volume) that require units not included in the base SI units.
The derived SI unit for volume is the meter cubed (m3).
A more practical unit for volume is the liter (L).
1 dm3 = 1 L
1 cm3 = 1 mL
Scientific Measurement
The density of a substance is the ratio of mass to volume.
d = density m = mass V = volume SI-derived unit: kilogram per cubic meter (kg/m3) Other common units: g/cm3 (solids)
g/mL (liquids) g/L (gases)
md =V

Solution: Step 1: First, note that 1 cm3 = 1 ml
Use the equation d = m/V to calculate mass.
Part (a)
d = m/V or m = dV = (19.2 g/cm3)(941ml) = 18,067.2 g
Problem: Gold (Au) has a density of 19.2 g/cm3. What is the mass of 941 mL of Au?
Scientific Measurement

The Properties of Matter
There are two general types of properties of matter:
1) Quantitative properties are measured and expressed with a number
2) Qualitative properties do not require measurement and are usually based on observation.

The Properties of Matter
A physical property is one that can be observed and measured without changing the identity of the substance. Examples: color, melting point, boiling point A physical change is one in which the sate of matter changes, but the identity of the matter does not change. Examples: changes of state
The Properties of Matter
A chemical property is one a substance exhibits as it interacts with another substance.
Examples: flammability, corrosiveness A chemical change is one that results in a change of composition; the original substances no longer exist.
Examples: digestion, combustion, oxidation
The Properties of Matter
An extensive property depends on the amount of matter. Examples: mass, volume An intensive property does not depend on the amount of matter. Examples: temperature, density

Uncertainty in Measurement
There are two types of numbers used in chemistry:
1) Exact numbers which have defined values
1 kg = 1000 g
1 dozen = 12 object
any number obtained by counting
2) Inexact numbers
numbers obtained by any method other than counting
1.5
Uncertainty in Measurement
An inexact number must be reported so as to indicate its uncertainty.
Significant figures are the meaningful digits in a reported number. The last digit in a measured number is referred to as the uncertain digit.
Uncertainty in Measurement
The number of significant figures can be determined using the following guidelines:
1) Any nonzero digit is significant
2) Zeros between nonzero digits are significant
3) Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are not significant
1129 m 4 significant figures
109 cm 3 significant figures
0.0003 kg 1 significant figure
9/4/12
13
Uncertainty in Measurement
The number of significant figures can be determined using the following guidelines: 4) Zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit are significant if a decimal is
present.
5) Zeros to the right of the last nonzero digit in a number that does not
contain a decimal point may or may not be significant.
9.550 m 4 significant figures
1200 m ambiguous
Uncertainty in Measurement
In addition and subtraction, the answer cannot have more digits to the right of the decimal point than any of the original numbers.
102.50 ← two digits after the decimal point + 0.231 ← three digits after the decimal point
102.731 ← round to 102.73
143.29 ← two digits after the decimal – 20.1 ← one digit after the decimal
123.19 ← round to 123.2
Uncertainty in Measurement
In multiplication and division, the number of significant figures in the final product or quotient is determined by the original number that has the smallest number of significant figures. 1.4 x 8.011 = 11.2154 ← round to 11 (limited by 1.4 to two significant
figures) 11.57/305.88 = 0.0378252 ← round to 0.03783 (limited by 11.57 to four
significant figures)

Uncertainty in Measurement
Exact numbers can be considered to have an infinite number of significant figures and do not limit the number of significant figures in a result. In calculations with multiple steps, round at the end of the calculation to reduce any rounding errors.
Uncertainty in Measurement
An empty container with a volume of 150.0 cm3 is weighed and found to have a mass of 72.5 g. The container is filled with a liquid and reweighed. The mass of the container and the liquid is 194.3 g. Determine the density of the liquid to the appropriate number of significant figures. Solution: Step 1: Determine the mass of the liquid
194.37 g – 72.5 g
121.87 g ← do not round this number yet, but remember it is good to only one decimal place or a total of 4 sig. figs.
Step 2: Calculate the density
d = 121.87 g / 150.0 mL = 0.812466 g/mL ← this number rounds to 0.8125 g/mL
Uncertainty in Measurement
Accuracy tells us how close a measurement is to the true value. Precision tells us how closely multiple measurements of the same thing are to one another.
Good accuracy and good precision
Poor accuracy but good precision
Poor accuracy and poor precision

Three students were asked to find the mass of an aspirin tablet. The true mass of the tablet is 0.370 g.
Student A: Results are precise, but not accurate Student B: Results are neither precise nor accurate Student C: Results are both precise and accurate
Uncertainty in Measurement
A conversion factor is a fraction in which the same quantity is expressed one way in the numerator and another way in the denominator. 1 in = 2.54 cm
1in2.54 cm
