Chemical Property

• Does it react and if so how?• A chemical property is any of a material's

properties that becomes evident during a chemical reaction; that is, any quality that can be established only by changing a substance's chemical identity.

Chemical Property

Physical Property

• Any property other than a description of reactivity or non-reactivity.

• A physical property is any aspect of an object or substance that can be measured or perceived without changing its identity.

Heterogeneous Solution

Mixtures

• Can be separated by physical means.• Can vary in composition

Pure Substance

• Does not vary in composition.• Elements or Compounds.

Element

• a pure substance consisting of one type of atom.

• Cannot be decomposed chemically.

Compound

• A pure substance consisting of two or more different elements that can be separated into simpler substances by chemical reactions.

• Chemical compounds consist of a fixed ratio of atoms.

• H2O, NaCl

Atoms and Molecules

• The atom is a basic unit of matter consisting of a dense, central nucleus surrounded by a cloud of negatively charged electrons.

• The atom is the smallest particle of an element.

• A molecule consists of two or more atoms bonded together.

Significant Digits

Rules for Significant Digits


• All non-zero digits are significant.


• All non-zero digits are significant.• “Trailing” zeros after the decimal point

ARE significant.



ARE significant.• Zeros between significant digits are

significant.



ARE significant.• Zeros between significant digits are

significant.• All other zeros are NOT significant

unless indicated to be so by having a bar placed over them.

How to Determine Significant Digits


•Underline the leftmost nonzero digit.



•Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit.



•Use the rules for significant digits to determine the rightmost significant digit.

•Every digit in between the leftmost and rightmost significant digits are significant as well.

Counting or Exact NumbersCounting numbers: If there are 10 people in a

room there are not 9.5 or 10.76 people in the room. Counting numbers are exact.

Ones in Conversion Factors: 1 kilometer = 1000 meters. Exactly 1 km is equal to exactly 1000m. The 1 is considered to be an exact number and so is the 1000.

Since Counting numbers are exact they have an infinite number of significant digits.

Math Operations with Significant Digits

• When multiplying and/or dividing your answer must reflect the smallest number of significant digits.



• (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm2



• (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm2 = 480 cm2



• (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm2 = 480 cm2

• 708g ÷ 4.700ml = 150.63829 g/ml =



• (17.3 cm)(28 cm) = 484.4 cm2 = 480 cm2

• 708g ÷ 4.700ml = 150.63829 g/ml = 151g/ml

Mass = 2680g

Volume = 1450cm3

Illegal ivory is often detected on the basis of density. What is the density of the elephant tusk?

Mass = 2680g

Volume = 1450cm3

D = 2680g ÷ 1450cm3 = 1.8482g/cm3 = 1.85g/cm3

Calcium chloride is used as a deicer on roads in winter. Its density is 2.50g/cm3. What mass of calcium chloride will the truck hold if its volume is 4560L?

Calcium chloride is used as a deicer on roads in winter. Its density is 2.50g/cm3. What mass of calcium chloride will the truck hold if its volume is 4560L?4560L = 4,560,000cm3

Calcium chloride is used as a deicer on roads in winter. Its density is 2.50g/cm3. What mass of calcium chloride will the truck hold if its volume is 4560L?4560L = 4,560,000cm3

M = D x V = 2.50g/cm3 x 4,560,000cm3 = 11,400,000g

The density of methanol is 0.788g/cm3.

What is the minimum volume of a tank that can hold 795kg of methanol.

The density of methanol is 0.788g/cm3. What is the minimum volume of a tank that can hold 795kg of methanol.

795kg = 795,000g


795kg = 795,000g

795,000g ÷ 0.788g/cm3 = 1,008,883cm3 = 1,010,000cm3


795kg = 795,000g

795,000g ÷ 0.788g/cm3 = 1,008,883cm3 = 1,010,000cm3
