    Matter

    We define matter as anything that has mass and takes

    up space.

    Atoms are the building blocks of matter.

    Each element is made of the same kind of atom.

    A compound is made of two or more different kinds of

    elements.

    Sample Exercise 1.1 Distinguishing among Elements, Compounds,

    and Mixtures

    Solution

    White gold contains gold and a white metal, such as palladium. Two samples of white gold differ in the relative

    amounts of gold and palladium they contain. Both samples are uniform in composition throughout. Use Figure 1.9

    to classify white gold.

    Sample Exercise 1.1 Distinguishing among Elements, Compounds,and Mixtures

    Because the material is uniform throughout, it ishomogeneous. Because its composition differs for

    the two samples, it cannot be a compound.

    Instead, it must be a homogeneous mixture.

    Solution

    White gold contains gold and a white metal, such as palladium. Two samples of white gold differ in the relative

    amounts of gold and palladium they contain. Both samples are uniform in composition throughout. Use Figure 1.9

    to classify white gold.

    of its source. Use Figure 1.9 to classify aspirin.

    Answer: It is a compound because it has constant

    composition and can be separated into several

    elements.

    53/74

    Sample Exercise 1.5 Relating Significant Figures to the Uncertaintyof a Measurement

    The value 4.0 has two significant figures, whereas 4.00 has three. This difference implies that the 4.0 has

    more uncertainty. A mass reported as 4.0 g indicates that the uncertainty is in the first decimal place. Thus,

    the mass might be anything between 3.9 and 4.1 g, which we can represent as 4.0 0.1 g. A mass reported

    as 4.00 g indicates that the uncertainty is in the second decimal place. Thus, the mass might be anythingbetween 3.99 and 4.01 g, which we can represent as 4.00 0.01 g. (Without further information, we cannot

    be sure whether the difference in uncertainties of the two measurements reflects the precision or the

    the difference in the masses of the full and empty container:

    (837.6 836.2) g = 1.4 gIn subtracting numbers, we determine the number of significant figures in our result by counting decimal

    places in each quantity. In this case each quantity has one decimal place. Thus, the mass of the gas, 1.4 g,

    has one decimal place.

    A gas at 25 C fills a container whose volume is 1.05 103 cm3. The container plus gas has a mass of 837.6 g. The
