KNOWLEDGE AREA: MATTER AND MATERIALS

Matter is everything that: has mass and occupies space.

Matter consists of three states, namely: solid, liquid and gas.All matter is made up of small particles of elements from the Periodic Table. These small particles determine the properties and reactivity of the substance.

Matter is used to manufacture items essential to humans (food, clothes, accommodation, transport, security systems, etc.).

The properties of matter are determined by its composition.A substance is chosen for a purpose according to its properties. A few examples:• Steel is chosen for construction due to its strength.• Metals are ductile and can be pulled into wires, which are then used for:

- security systems. - conducting wires, since metals are good conductors of electricity.

• Metals are malleable. They can be reshaped into sheets, which are then used to produce pots and pans, for example.

• Substances that have magnetic properties are used to produce magnets and electromagnets. Iron and steel are examples of this.

• Handles of pots and pans are made out of wood or rubber as they are good thermal insulators.• Aluminium is light and does not rust, so it can be used for window frames and door frames.• Rubber is used to make wetsuits, as it is waterproof. A layer of air is trapped between the diver and

the suit, which acts as a good thermal insulator and keeps the diver warm.• Plastic is used for raincoats and umbrellas, as it is also waterproof.• Wool can trap air between its fibres and is therefore a good thermal insulator. Wool is used to

produce blankets, jerseys, jackets and other warm clothing.

The properties of matter can be divided as follows:

Examples• Strength of material• Thermal properties• Electrical properties• Magnetic properties• Solubility • Brittleness, ductility and malleability• Tensile strength• Melting and boiling points

Examples• Constituent atoms• Types of bonds• Intermolecular forces

Case study Date:Mopani wormsRead the following passage and then answer the questions:

Certain indigenous South Africans use Mopani worms as a source of protein. This has developed into a profitable industry with low costs, few overheads and a protein-rich food source.Mopani worms are the edible species of the caterpillar Gonimbrasia belina. Other traditional names for the Mopani worm are: mashonja (Botswana: Kalanga), phane (Botswana: Setswana), mašotša (South Africa: Sepedi), mashonzha (South Africa: Tshivenda), finkubala (Zambia), mcimbi (Zimbabwe: Ndebele) and omagungu (Namibia).The worms are usually found in Mopani trees, which are predominately found in grassland and bushveld.

When the worms are collected, the tail is cut off and the slimy green innards are squeezed out like toothpaste.The worms can be preserved in the following ways:• Squashed flat and dried in the sun.• Smoked, which results in a very different flavour.• Industrially pickled and bottled.

The dried worms can be eaten just as they are. They do not have much flavour, and taste like dried leaves. They are often marinated and served with tomato or chilli sauce.

Quick factsAdditive: A substance that is added in small quantities to improve the flavour, e.g. MSG.

Preservative: Substance used to preserve and protect, e.g. sulfur dioxide.

Ingredients: The substances of which the product is composed.

Matter can be classified as mixtures or pure substances (consists of a single element or compound). This is revision of work done in Grade 9.

1.1 MixturesMixtures are common in our everyday lives: we breathe a mixture of gases in the air; we eat fruit salad; boerewors is a mixture of meat, fat and spices.SAMPLE

What are the properties of a mixture?• The components are not in a fixed ratio.• The components keep their own properties.• The components can be separated easily by physical means.

There are two types of mixtures.

A homogeneous mixture is a mixture with a uniform composition (that will remain constant for a period of time).

This means that the components of a homogeneous mixture:• cannot be distinguished from each other. • are in the same state.

This means that the components of a heterogeneous mixture:• are not in the same state. Examples: mud, smoke from a fire• are easily distinguishable. Examples: cool drink and ice cubes, potjiekos (meat, vegetables and gravy)

A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture with a non-uniform composition. Particles can be distinguished.

Homogeneous mixture Heterogeneous mixture

Examples - Air is a mixture of different gases – all in the same state. - Alloys are mixtures of metals. - Cool drink concentrate in water consists of two liquids that are mixed.

1.3 Names and formulae of substances

All matter consists of elements. Elements can be grouped as follows:

Interesting factsIn 1869 two scientists – the Russian, Dmitri Mendeleev and the German, Julius Lothar Meyer – arranged the elements in a Periodic Table. Mendeleev used chemical reactivity, and Meyer the physical properties. The two tables were suprisingly quite similar. These were the first versions of the Periodic Table that we use today.

Elements

Metals Metalloids Non-metals

On either side adjacent to the dividing line, e.g. Si, Ge

Right of the line,e.g. S, O2, Cℓ2, Br2

Description Example

Elements on the left of the Periodic Table are usually named first.

NaCℓ Sodium chloride

Names of elements on the right of the Periodic Table change by adding -ide at the end.

COCarbon monoxide = oxygen changed to oxide.

“Mono” means one, “di” means two and “tri” means three, showing the number of atoms of that element.

COcarbon monoxide – 1 OCO2

carbon dioxide – 2 OsNO2

nitrogen dioxide – 2 OsSO3

sulfur trioxide – 3 Os

Some substances have common names, too. H2O hydrogen oxide = waterHCℓ hydrogen chloride = hydrochloric acid = swimming pool acid

Polyatomic ions, which always consist of the same ratio of elements.

Na2SO4sodium sulphateCaSO4calcium sulphate MgSO4magnesium sulphate

Each element has a unique name. When compounds are formed, the name must reflect the components.The following table applies to the naming of compounds:

Doc Scientia CHEMISTRY textbook and workbook - Grade 10 25

• When there is a bracket then a subscript, the subscript refers to everything inside the bracket. (Polyatomic ions will be discussed in more detail later.) Example: magnesium nitrate is Mg(NO3)2. This indicates one magnesium (Mg) and two nitrate ions (NO3), in total giving two nitrogen atoms (N) and six oxygen atoms (O). If the brackets were left out it would have meant 32 oxygen atoms, which is impossible.

• The formula can represent a molecule, as in H2O (water), or it could be the empirical formula, as in NaCℓ, which represents the smallest ratio of the components in a crystal.

• Positive ions are written first and negative ions second.

To write a formula you need to take into account the constituents as well as the ratio in which they are combined.• Water consists of hydrogen and oxygen in the ratio 2:1. Therefore the formula is H2O. Two hydrogen

atoms and one oxygen atom.

Positive ions (cations)

Be careful of the spelling of the ions. It is important that if it ends in “te” or “de” this changes the composition of the ion. “-ate” and “-ite” refer to the different number of oxygen atoms present.
