Topic One: Matter on the Move

State
of matter is a substance that has neither a definite volume or shape (eg.
oxygen )

The State of matter where a substance has a definite
volume but a non- definite shape (eg. water)

The State
of matter where a substance has a definite shape and volume (eg. sugar cube)
![]()
1. All substances are made of tiny particles.
2. All particles in a pure substance are the same.
Different pure substances are made of different particles.
3. The particles have spaces between them.
4. The particles are always in motion-vibrating, rotating, and
(in liquids and gases) moving from place to place.
The speed of particles increases/decreases when the
temperature increases/decreases.
5. The particles in a substance are attracted to one another.
The strength of attraction force depends on the
type of particle (solid, liquid, gas).

Remembering solute and solvent
Solute
You means that you are putting this into the solvent.
How is Matter Classified?




Is there a limit to how much can dissolve?
Yes!! If we have to much solute for the number of particles of the solvent, there will be
leftover particles since there are not any spaces left between the solvent's particles.
We could heat up the solvent and more would dissolve because . . . . . heating makes particles move faster and spread apart making more room for more solute particles.
Stains:
What is a stain?
Something that des not dissolve, in a particular solvent.
Drycleaners: Use different solvents that have super-duper attraction for the particles
of a stain.
Solubility : The ability do dissolve (usually in water)
If something has high solubility then we would expect : A high mass of solute to dissolve in a given volume of solvent.
Topic 3 Review:
1. Give 4 examples of naturally occurring mixtures, 2 from this topic, and 2 from your own experience. State whether each is homogeneous or heterogeneous.
2. a) What is a petroleum refinery?
b) Name the progress that is used to refine petroleum. Explain how it works by drawing a simple labelled sketch.
3. How is dehydration different from distillation as a method of removing a solute from a solvent?
4. Compare the distillation method with the desert tent evaporator. What is simular? What is different? Refer to the particle model of matter in your answer.
5. Sugar can be produced from three different raw materials: cane, beets, and maple sap. Regardless of the raw material, a lot of the feel is needed. Explain why?
6. Write your own definition of filteration.
7. List six ways for separating the components of a mixture.
8. Apply Could settling be used to separate the components of petroleum? Explain why or why not.
Wrap-up: Topics 1-3:
Key terms:
Solid, Homogeneous, Mechanical mixture, rate of dissolving, liquid, solution, phases, agitation, gas, heterogeneous, dissolving, saturated solution, pure substance, suspension, solute, unsaturated solution properties colliod solvent supersaturated solution mixture emulsion, soluble insoluble.
Reviewing Key Terms
1. Which of the key terms best matches each of these phrases? Write your answer in your note book.
a) a state of matter with no definite volume
b) How fast a solute dissolves in a solvent
c) a homogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs
d) a heterogeneous mixture in which no settling occurs
e) separate parts of a mechanical mixture
f) able to be dissolved in a particular solvent
g) characteristics, such as colour, odour, and hardness
h) The substance that dissolves in a solvent to form a solution
Understanding Key Concepts
2. From Table 1.1 on pg 18, find
a) 2 solutions that are gases
b) a solution in which both solute and solvent are liquids
c) a solution of gas in a liquid
3. a) what is the purpose of distillation? use the terms "solute" and "solvent" in your answer
b) use the particle model of matter to explain how distillation works.
4. Apply In the past, people collected rainwater to use for washing hair and clothes. Why do you think people did this, rather than using water from a river or a well?
5.Thinking Critically The cleaning and stain-removal industry understands how to separate the components of a mixture. What can you add to a grass stain to separate it from the mixture of stain and clothing fibre?
6. List the solutes and solvents for these solutions:
a) sweetened tea b) coffee with cream
c) ocean water d) orange soft drink
e) perfume f) mouthwash
g) cherry kool-aid
Topic 4
Density
What is density?
-"Crowdedness" of particles/the compactedness of particles.
-it is measured by the amount of mass in a given volume.
-in our demo the volume was the imaginary elevator
-in our demo people were the mass
-the variable that we changed in our demo was the shape and size of our particles.
-this effected our particles by because they were bigger so we couldn't get as many particles into the same space and the density decreased because we couldn't get as many particles into the space.
Density= mass/volume
-the more particles that you have the more dense it is.
-the less particles you have the less dense it is.
Topic 4 review
1. list two materials that have a low viscosity and two that have a high viscosity.
2. what is the relationship between the viscosity of a liquid and its flow rate?
3. How can you test the viscosity of a liquid?
4. (a) What was the effect of temperature on the flow rate - and thus the viscosity - of a liquid?
(b) What is the effect of temperature on the viscosity of gases?
(c) Explain these effects using the particle model?
5. THINKING CRITICALLY! How are viscosity, the size and shape of particles, and internal friction related?
6. APPLY! Asphalt is a black, sticky material that binds gravel in the pavement that covers streets and high ways. Explain why paving is almost always done during the summer months?

-Density is mass per volume of a substance
-Mass is the amount of matter in a substance.
-Volume is a measurement of the amount of space occupied by the substance.
-Weight is the force of gravity exerted on an object.
-Force is a push or a pull or anything that causes a change in the motion of an object.
