Introduction: Matter and Measurement

• Chemistry is the study
of matter, its
properties, and the
changes it undergoes.
• It is central to our
fundamental
understanding of many
science-related fields.
 Chapter Goals

• Differentiate between the behavior of atoms in solids, liquids,

and gases. Also, understand phase transitions.
• Use appropriate terms in the classification of matter.
• Differentiate between physical and chemical changes; physical
and chemical properties; intensive and extensive properties.
• Become familiar with SI base units for mass, length,
temperature, volume, density.
• Become familiar with SI prefixes.
• Use dimensional (unit) analysis for unit conversion.
• Calculate densities and use density as a conversion unit.
 Classifications of Matter

• Matter – anything that has a mass or volume (takes up

space); examples?
• States of Matter
• Classification of Matter
States of Matter
➢ For our discussion, there will be three
states of matter:
1) Solid.

➢ In this figure, those states are seen as ice,
liquid water, and water vapor.
 States of Matter

• The atoms and molecules in each

type of matter contain a certain
amount of kinetic energy, KE
(energy of motion).
• The atoms and molecules in a
solid contain the least amount of
KE. The particles in a liquid
contain a bit more KE. The
particles in gases contain the most
KE.
• By adding energy (in the form of
heat), we can increase the amount
of KE in a substance and change
the state of matter.

 Definitions

Mixture – 1) combination
of two or more types of
matter 2) with no fixed
composition 3) that can
be physically separated
• Homogeneous mixture – a
mixture with a uniform
composition throughout (ex.
solutions, alloys)
• Heterogeneous mixture – a
mixture that does not have a
uniform composition throughout
(ex. sand in water)
 Definitions
Pure Substance – type of matter with a definite or fixed
composition that does not vary from one sample to another
• Element (atoms)– cannot be broken down into simpler substances with
chemical reactions (ex. You should start memorizing these element symbols
right away: hydrogen (H), oxygen (O), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), helium
(He), neon (Ne), phosphorus (P), sodium (Na), calcium (Ca), potassium (K),
fluorine(F), magnesium (Mg), iron (Fe), copper (Cu), gold (Au), silver (Ag),
nickel (Ni), chlorine (Cl), sulfur (S), aluminum (Al) )
• Compound (molecules)– 1) made up of two or more elements in 2) fixed
proportions that 3) can ONLY be separated by chemical reaction (ex. H2O,
NaCl, H2O2, MgSO4)

 Changes of Matter

• Physical change – changes

in matter that do not change
the composition of a
substance.
– Examples include melting,
freezing, dissolving, etc.
• Chemical change – changes
in matter that do change the
composition of a substance,
resulting in new substances
(reaction). The vapor burns,

observed without changing a
substance into another
substance.
– Examples include mass, color,
volume, melting point, etc.
• Chemical properties – can
only be observed when a
substance is changed into
another substance.

Reading Assignment: Types of Properties

• Intensive Properties are independent of the amount of the

substance that is present.
◦ Examples include density, boiling point,
or color.
• Extensive Properties depend upon the amount of the
substance present.
◦ Examples include mass, volume (amount of space the
substance takes up), or energy.
 Numbers and Chemistry
• Numbers play a major role in chemistry.
• Concepts of numbers in science
➢ Units of measurement
➢ Quantities that are measured and calculated
➢ Significant digits
➢ Dimensional (Unit) analysis

1.4 Units of Measurements—SI Units

• Système International d’Unités (“The International System of

Units”) – SI Units
• A different base unit is used for each quantity.
 Units of Measurement—Metric System
• The base units used in the metric
system
– Mass: gram (g)
– Length: meter (m)
– Time: second (s or sec)
– Temperature: degrees Celsius (°C)
or Kelvin (K)
– Amount of a substance: mole
(mol)
– Volume: cubic centimeter (cc or
cm3) or liter (l)
 Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• There are basic quantities that we measure in science.
• Mass (balance or scale) is a measure of the amount of material
in an object. SI uses the kilogram as the base unit. The metric
system uses the gram (g) as the base unit.
– Mass, not weight

• Length (ruler) is a measure of distance. The meter (m) is the

base unit.
 weight is gradient

that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• Volume is the amount of space an object occupies
– For liquids - measure using appropriate glassware (ex. graduated
cylinder)
– Liter (l) units

– For solids
• Measure using displacement
– Volume of the object = Final volume – initial volume
– Liters (l) base unit
• Calculate the volume using formulas based on the shape of the object
– Ex. Vcube = length x width x height
– If a cube is 5.3 cm by 2.4 cm by 3.8 cm, volume would be 48 cm3
– (Length unit)3
Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• In general usage,
temperature is considered
the “hotness and coldness”
of an object that determines
the direction of heat flow.
• Heat flows spontaneously
from an object with a higher
temperature to an object
with a lower temperature.
 Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• The Fahrenheit scale is not used in scientific measurements,
but you hear about it in weather reports.
• The first two equations below allow for conversion between
the Fahrenheit and Celsius scales:
– F = 9/5( C) + 32
– C = 5/9( F − 32)
– K = C + 273.15
• Normal body temperature is 98.6 oF. What is this temperature
in oC and K? 37.0 oC, 310.15 K
• On your own: Room temperature is recognized as 25 oC.
What is this temperature in oF and K? 298.15 K, 77 oF

• Scientific notation review?
 Numbers Encountered in Science: Significant
Figures
• Exact numbers are counted or given by definition.
For example, there are 12 eggs in 1 dozen.
• Inexact (or measured) numbers depend on how they
were determined. Scientific instruments have
limitations. Some balances measure to ±0.01 g; others
measure to ±0.0001g.
 Significant Figures
• The term significant figures refers to digits that were
measured.
• When rounding calculated numbers, we pay attention to
significant figures so we do not overstate the accuracy of our
answers.
• See the handout posted in Canvas.
• You will be responsible for knowing the significant digit rules.

Dimensional (Unit) Analysis
• We use dimensional analysis to convert one quantity to
another.
• Most commonly, dimensional analysis utilizes conversion
factors (e.g., 1 in. = 2.54 cm).
• We can set up a ratio of comparison for the equality either 1
in/2.54 cm or 2.54 cm/1 in.
• We use the ratio which allows us to change units (puts the units
we have in the denominator to cancel).
• See the handout posted in Canvas.
 Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• Density (D) is a unit that we
will calculate.
• Density is a physical
property of a substance.
• It is a measure of how heavy
an object is for its size.
 D
Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• D = mass/volume
• Density has units that are derived from the units for mass and
volume.
• The most common units are g/mL or g/cm3.
• What is the density of a substance that has a mass of 13.62
grams and a volume of 4.56 mL? 2.99 g/mL
• On your own: You come upon a shiny piece of rock near the cafeteria. You get excited
because you think that it could be a piece of gold. On the other hand, it could be iron pyrite
(fool’s gold). You look up the density of gold and find it to be 19.3 g/mL. You then look up
the density of fool’s gold and find it to be 4.9 g/mL. You take the rock to the lab and weigh it
on the balance. The mass is 13.65 grams. You use displacement to measure the volume. You
place 40.0 mL of water in a graduated cylinder. You then drop the rock into the graduated
cylinder. The volume of water increases to 42.8 mL. What is the density of your rock? Is
your rock gold or fool’s gold? Fool’s gold
 Quantities that are measured and calculated:
Mass, Length, Volume, Temperature, Density
• In addition to solving for density (given mass and volume), you must also
be able to find volume (given mass and density) and mass (given volume
and density).
• Copper has a density of 8.96 g/cm3. What would be the volume (in mL) of
a 15.00 gram piece of copper. 1.67 mL
• Mercury has a density of 13.6 g/mL. What is the mass (in grams) of 8.00
mL of mercury? 109 grams

• The periodic table is a

systematic organization of
the elements.
• Elements are arranged in
order of atomic number (Z).
• The rows on the periodic
table are called periods.

• There are several common

names for the parts of the
periodic table.
– “A” groups = Main group

 Guidelines for Balancing
try
•
Chemical Equations
If an element is present in just one compound on each side of
the equation, try balancing that element first.
• Balance any reactants or products that exist as the free element
last.
• In some reactions, certain groupings of atoms (such as
polyatomic ions) remain unchanged. In such cases, treat these
groupings as a unit.
• At times, an equation can be balanced by first using a
0 fractional coefficient(s). The fraction is then cleared by
multiplying each coefficient by a common factor.
 Practice for Balancing Equations

• We discussed average atomic

weights in Chp. 2. They are
found in the periodic table.
• What can we do with average
atomic weights?
• Calculate the formula weight
(FW) for compounds. Formula
weight is the sum of the atomic
weights of the elements in the
chemical formula.

➢ Ionic Compounds dissolve by dissociation, where water surrounds the
separated ions. - Electrolytes
➢ Molecular compounds interact with water, but most do NOT
dissociate. - Nonelectrolytes
➢ Some molecular substances react with water when they dissolve.

4.5 Concentration of Solutions
• The quantity of solute in a solution can matter to a chemist.
• We call the amount of solute dissolved a solution’s
concentration. amount of
solute
• Molarity is one way to measure the concentration of a
solution:
moles of solute
Molarity (M) =
volume of solution in liters

 Dilution of Solutions

• Not all aqueous solutions are made from a solid solute and
water. Sometimes a concentrated solution is diluted (with
water) to form more dilute solution.
• Dilution is the process of preparing a more dilute solution by
adding solvent to a more concentrated one.
• Addition of solvent does not change the amount of solute in a
solution but does change the solution concentration.
• It is very common to prepare a concentrated stock solution of a
solute, then dilute it to other concentrations as needed.

 Dilution

• How do we know how much concentrated solution to use?

• We use the dilution formula.
Mc Vc = Md Vd,
where Mc and Md are the molarity of the concentrated and
dilute solutions, respectively, and Vc and Vd are the volumes
of the two solutions.
