  1. Conservation of Mass and Energy (or what Lavoisier got so worked up about)

  2. O O O H H H H Conservation of Mass • What two elements make up water? • Hydrogen and Oxygen! • Both are diatomic, so the equation for the formation of water should look like: reactant side product side What’s wrong with this picture?

  3. O O O O H H H H H H H H Conservation of Mass • Here’s what it should look like: reactant side product side

  4. Definitions • Conservation of Mass: • In chemical or physical changes, no mass is ever gained or lost, just moved around. • Remember Lavoisier!

  5. More Definitions • Conservation of Energy • In chemical and physical changes, no energy is ever gained or lost, just transferred from one form to another. • Kinetic vs. Potential Energy

  6. Combined Law • Conservation of Mass & Energy: • Mass and energy are never gained or lost in chemical or physical changes. • Energy and mass MAY be changed into one another through fission or fusion: E=mc2

  7. Properties of Matter (or what it looks & acts like)

  8. What are properties of matter? • Properties of a substance: • The set of characteristics by which a substance is recognized. • Ex. Water: • Boils at 100 °C • Melts at 0 °C • Is wet • Is clear (when pure)

  9. Properties of Matter • Properties describe what can be observed directly or indirectly about a substance, and the way the substance acts or reacts.

  10. Extensive Properties • Properties that depend on the amount of the substance: • Volume • Mass • Length • Weight • NOT good for identifying substances

  11. Intensive Properties • Properties that do NOT depend on the amount of the substance: • Melting point • Boiling point • Density • Chemical Reactivity • Color • Smell • ARE good for identifying substances!
