Unit 1: “Matter and Change”
MatterMatter is anything that: a) has mass, and b) takes up space
Mass = a measure of the amount of “stuff” (or material) the object contains (don’t confuse this with weight, a measure of gravity)
Volume = a measure of the space occupied by the object
Properties are…• Words that describe matter (adjectives)• Physical Properties- a property that can
be observed and measured without changing the material’s composition.
• Examples- color, hardness, m.p., b.p.• Chemical Properties- a property that
can only be observed by changing the composition of the material.
• Examples- ability to burn, decompose, ferment, react with, etc.

Three Main Phases
Physical vs. Chemical ChangePhysical change will change the visible
appearance, without changing the composition of the material.Boil, melt, cut, bend, split, crackIs boiled water still water?
Can be reversible, or irreversibleChemical change - a change where a
new form of matter is formed.Rust, burn, decompose, ferment
Chemical ChangeA change in which one or more substances are converted into different substances.
Heat and
light are often evidence of a chemical change.
Recognizing Chemical Changes1) Energy is absorbed or released
(temperature changes hotter or colder)2) Color unexpected color changes3) Gas production (bubbling, fizzing, or odor
change; smoke)4) Formation of a precipitate - a solid that
separates from solution (won’t dissolve)5) Irreversibility - not easily reversedBut, there are examples of these that are not
chemical – boiling water bubbles, etc.
Conservation of Mass • During any chemical reaction, the
mass of the products is always equal to the mass of the reactants.
• All the mass can be accounted for:
–Burning of wood results in products that appear to have less mass as ashes; where is the rest?
• Law of conservation of mass
reactants = product
43.43 g Original mass = 43.43 g Final mass
MeasurementMeasurement
Over time people realized there were differences in the way people
made measurements
Accuracy and
Precision
Some measurements are not very accurate.
Measurements Accuracy and Precision
Some measurements can be very precise and accurate.
Measurements Accuracy and Precision
Measurements can only be as precise and accurate as the instrument that produced it.
Measurements Accuracy and Precision
How many numbers can we use for these scales?

Measurement Rules
All non-zero digits are significant.
Measurements Measurement Rules
Zeros between significant digits are always significant.
Measurements Measurement Rules
Trailing zeros in a number are only significant if there is a decimal point
somewhere in the number.
Measurements Measurement Rules
Zeros in the beginning of a number are place holders and are not
significant.
Measurements Measurement Rules
Zeros following a number after a decimal are significant.
Measurements Measurement Rules
Math operations
and measurement
When adding or subtracting use the least number of decimal places.
Measurements Math Operations
When multiplying or dividing use the least total number of sig. figs. to
find your answer.
Measurements Math Operations
Scientific notation is taking
a number and putting it into a certain form.
