AP Chapter 1- Introduction: Matter, Energy, and Measurement Jennie L. Borders
Section 1.1 - The Study of Chemistry Chemistry is the study of matter, its properties, and the changes that matter undergoes. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space. Atoms are the building blocks of matter. Elements are made of one type of atom. Molecules are two or more atoms that are joined together by bonds.
Section 1.2 Classifications of Matter States of Matter A gas has no fixed shape or volume and can easily by compressed. The particles are far apart. Ex: O2gas A vapor is the gaseous state of matter of a substance that is normally a solid or liquid at room temperature. Ex: H2Ovapor A liquid has an indefinite shape but a definite volume. The particles are close together but can flow. A solid has a definite shape and volume. The particles are close together and orderly since they vibrate in fixed locations.
Pure Substances A pure substance has a constant composition. Pure substances can be elements or compounds. An element is made of one type of atom. Elements can be composed of atoms or molecules. A compound is composed of two or more elements bonded together in a fixed proportion. Compounds can be broken down into elements by chemical processes.
Mixtures A mixture has a variable composition. Homogeneous mixtures are variable but APPEAR uniform throughout. They are also called solutions. An example is Windex. Heterogeneous mixtures have a variable composition in which the different parts are noticeable. An example is Italian salad dressing. Mixtures can be made of solids, liquids, or gases.
Sample Exercise 1.1 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 the chart to classify white gold.
Practice Exercise 1 Which of the following is the correct description of the inside of a grapefruit? a. It is a pure compound. b. It consists of a homogeneous mixture of compounds. c. It consists of a heterogeneous mixture of compounds. d. It consists of a heterogeneous mixture of elements and compounds. e. It consists of a singe compound in different states.
Practice Exercise 2 Aspirin is composed of 60.0% carbon, 4.5% hydrogen, and 35.5% oxygen by mass, regardless of its source. Use the chart to classify aspirin.
Section 1.3 Properties of Matter Physical properties can be observed without changing the composition of a substance. Ex. Melting point Chemical properties describe the way a substance may react or change composition. Ex. Flammability Intensive properties do not depend on the amount of substance only the type of substance. Ex. Density Extensive properties depend on the amount of a sample. Ex. mass
Physical and Chemical Changes A physical change occurs when properties of a substance change but the composition remains the same. Ex. Boiling water A chemical change occurs when the composition of a substance changes. Ex. Burning wood
Separating Mixtures Distillation separates mixtures based on their different boiling points. Filtration separates mixtures based on particle size. Chromatography separates mixtures based on the differing abilities of substances to adhere to a surface.
Section 1.4 The Nature of Energy Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat. Work is the energy transferred when a force exerted on an object causes the object to move in the same direction as the force. Force is a push or pull on an object. Heat is the energy used to cause the temperature of an object to increase.
Kinetic and Potential Energy Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. It depends on mass and velocity. Atoms and molecules have kinetic energy which increases as a substance is heated. Potential energy is stored energy due to a position of an object. Electrostatic potential energy arises from the interaction of charged particles. Opposite charges attract and like charges repel.
Section 1.5 Units of Measurement Quantitative properties are associated with numbers. SI units are the preferred units for science.
Unit Prefixes Make sure that you remember how to convert between units with different prefixes using this chart.

Practice Exercise 2 a. How many picometers are the in 1 m? b. Express 6.0 x 103m using a metric prefix to replace the power of ten. c. Use exponential notation to express 4.22 mg in grams. d. Use decimal notation to express 4.22 mg in grams.
Temperature Temperature is the measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a substance. Absolute zero (0K) is the temperature which the motion of particles stops. The size of a degree in Celsius is the same as the size of a degree in Kelvin. A degree in Fahrenheit is smaller. K = oC + 273 oC = 5(oF 32) 9 5 oF = 9(oC) + 32

Density and Energy Density is the amount of mass in a unit volume of a substance. D = m v The SI unit for energy is the Joule. (1 J = 1 kg.m2/s2) A calorie is the amount of energy required to raise 1 gram of water 1oC. 1 cal = 4.184 J 1 Cal = 1000 cal

Practice Exercise 1 a. Calculate the density of a 374.5 g sample of copper if it has a volume of 41.8 cm3. b. A student needs 15.0 g of ethanol for an experiment. If the density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL, how many milliliters of ethanol are needed? c. What is the mass, if grams, of 25.0 mL of mercury (density = 13.6 g/mL)?
Sample Exercise 1.5 A standard propane (C3H8) tank used in an outdoor grill holds approximately 9.0 kg of propane. When the grill is operating, propane reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. For every gram of propane that reacts with oxygen in this way, 46 kJ of energy is released as heat. a. How much energy is released if the entire contents of the propane tank react with oxygen? b. As the propane reacts, does the potential energy stored in chemical bonds increase or decrease?
Practice Exercise 1 A 12-oz vanilla milkshake at a fast food restaurant contains 547 Calories. What quantity of energy is this in joules?
Section 1.6 Uncertainty of Measurement Accuracy refers to how closely an individual measurement agrees with the correct value. Precision is how close multiple measurements are to each other.
Significant Figures All digits 1-9 are significant. Front zeros (to the left of the significant figures) are NOT significant. Middle zeros are significant. Back zeros (to the right of the significant figures) are only significant if you can see the decimal point. Numbers that are counted and conversion factors contain infinite significant figures.

For multiplying and dividing, your answer must have the same amount of significant figures as the measurement with the least amount of significant figures.
