    Inertia Weight Gravitation: Physical Properties Can Be Observed or Measured Without Changing The Composition

    Uploaded by

    Julie Domondon
    The general properties of matter result from its relationship with mass and space. All matter has inertia, weight in a gravitational field, volume, and impenetrability. Special properties depend on internal structure and differ between substances, including ductility, elasticity, hardness, and tenacity. Physical properties can be observed without changing composition and include appearance, texture, color, melting/boiling points, and density. Matter exists in solid, liquid, or gas states.

    The Properties of Matter

    The general properties of matter result from its relationship with mass and space. Because of its
    mass, all matter has inertia (the mass being the measure of its inertia) and weight, if it is in a
    gravitational field (see gravitation). Because it occupies space, all matter has volume and
    impenetrability, since two objects cannot occupy the same space simultaneously.
    The special properties of matter, on the other hand, depend on internal structure and thus differ
    from one form of matter, i.e., one substance, to another. Such properties
    include ductility, elasticity, hardness, malleability, porosity (ability to permit another substance to
    flow through it), and tenacity (resistance to being pulled apart).
    Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in a substance or an object. The basic SI unit for
    mass is the kilogram (kg), but smaller masses may be measured in grams (g). To measure
    mass, you would use a balance. In the lab, mass may be measured with a triple beam balance
    or an electronic balance, but the old-fashioned balance pictured below may give you a better
    idea of what mass is. If both sides of this balance were at the same level, it would mean that the
    fruit in the left pan has the same mass as the iron object in the right pan. In that case, the fruit
    would have a mass of 1 kg, the same as the iron.
    EX.
    Volume is a measure of the amount of space that a substance or an object takes up. The basic
    SI unit for volume is the cubic meter (m3), but smaller volumes may be measured in cm3, and
    liquids may be measured in liters (L) or milliliters (mL). How the volume of matter is measured
    depends on its state.

    Physical properties can be observed or measured without changing the composition


    of matter. Physical properties are used to observe and describe matter.
    Physical properties include: appearance, texture, color, odor, melting point, boiling
    point, density, solubility, polarity, and many others.
    The three states of matter are: solid, liquid, and gas. The melting point and boiling
    point are related to changes of the state of matter. All matter may exist in any of three
    physical states of matter.

    Chemical Property
    A chemical property is a characteristic or behavior of a substance that may be observed
    when it undergoes a chemical change or reaction. Chemical properties are seen either
    during or following a reaction, since the arrangement of atoms within a sample must be
    disrupted for the property to be investigated. This is different from a physical property,
    which is a characteristic that may be observed and measured without changing the
    chemical identity of a specimen.

    Examples of Chemical Properties


    Examples of chemical properties of a substance can include:

    toxicity

    oxidation

    flammability

    heat of combustion

    enthalpy of formation

    chemical stability under specific conditions

    radioactivity

    Remember, a chemical change must occur for a chemical property to be observed and
    measured. For example, iron oxidizes and becomes rust. Rusting is not a property that
    can be described based on analysis of the pure element.

    EX.

    What is the volume of the dinosaur in the diagram above?


    - The volume of the water alone is 4.8 mL. The volume of the water and dinosaur
    together is 5.6 mL. Therefore, the volume of the dinosaur alone is 5.6 mL 4.8
    mL = 0.8 mL.
