Chemistry / Matter and Change
1. How does a pure substance differ from a mixture of substances such as lemonade?
- A pure substance has a uniform and unchanging composition. They are broken down into elements and compounds. - A mixture of substances, such as lemonade, are physically combined and can be separated into their original components.
NH,4OH =
1 nitrogen + 5 hydrogen + 1 oxygen
Ca,3(PO,4),2 =
3 calcium + 2 phosphorous + 8 oxygen
chemical change
A change in matter that produces one or more new substances
solvent
A liquid substance capable of dissolving other substances
heterogenous mixture
A mixture in which substances are not evenly mixed
How to find the ratio of mass A to mass B?
A/B = x/1 First, divide 1 by B. Next, multiple that with A. Answer goes in the X spot.
Physical Changes
Any change that DOES NOT alter the chemical composition of a substance.
extensive property & example
DO depend on the amount of matter/the substance present ex: volume, mass, energy
Solid
Definite shape and volume
7. Aluminum can combine chemically with various substances, but it never reacts to form simpler substances. Is aluminum an element, a compound, or a mixture? How do you know? Is aluminum a substance? Explain.
Element, because it is in its simplest form. It is a substance because it has a uniform and unchanging composition.
3 types of substances
Element, compound, & molecules
5. Suppose you measure the mass of an iron nail and find it to be 13.8g. You place the nail in a moist place for two weeks. When you retrieve the nail, it is covered with a crusty brown coating of rust. You then place the nail on a balance to measure its mass. Will the nail have a mass that is greater than, less than, or equal to 13.8g? Explain your answer.
Greater, because of the law of conservation. Mass of products = mass of reactants, and the nail moisture combines with air forms the rusty nail as a product. When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.
Law of Conservation of Mass
Matter is neither created nor destroyed Mass reactants = Mass products
3. Can two different samples of the same substance have different physical properties? Can they have different chemical properties? Explain your answers to both questions.
No, all substances have a uniform and unchanging composition. All samples of a pure substance have the same chemical and physical properties.
9. The elements carbon and sulfur are solids at room temperature. Can you reasonably predict that a compound of these two elements will also be a solid at room temperature? Explain your conclusion.
No, they may chemically react to form a new product.
conservation of mass formula
SIGMA mr = SIGMA mp (sum of mass of reactants = sum of mass of products)
4. Write one statement each for a solid, a liquid, and a gas describing the particle arrangement and spacing in each state.
Solid: definite shape and definite volume Liquid: indefinite shape, definite volume Gas: indefinite shape and indefinite volume
8. The mineral cassiterite is mined as a commercial source of tin. It is a compound of the elements tin and oxygen. A 1.000-kg sample of pure cassiterite mined in Germany contains 788 g of tin. Is it possible to predict the mass of tin contained in a 43.5-kg sample of cassiterite mined in South America? Explain your reasoning.
Yes, find the mass by percent.

Element
a substance that cannot be separated into simpler substances A pure substance made of only one kind of atom
compound
a substance that consists of two or more elements chemically combined represented by a formula
