MODULE OVERVIEW

Chemical substances and processes are essential for our existence, providing sustenance,
keeping us clean and healthy, fabricating electronic devices, enabling transportation, and
much more.

You may be studying chemistry because it fulfills an academic requirement, but if you
consider your daily activities, you might find chemistry interesting for other reasons. Most
everything you do and encounter during your day involves chemistry. Making coffee,
cooking eggs, and toasting bread involve chemistry. The products you use like soap and
shampoo, the fabrics you wear, the electronics that keep you connected to your world, the
gasoline that propels your car all of these and more involve chemical substances and
processes. Whether you are aware or not, chemistry is part of your everyday world. In this
chapter, you will learn many of the essential principles underlying the chemistry of modern-
day life.

LEARNING OUTCOMES

 Describe the basic properties of each physical state of matter: solid, liquid, and gas.

 Classify matter as an element, compound, homogeneous mixture, or heterogeneous

mixture with regard to its physical state and composition.

 Identify properties of matter as extensive or intensive.

EVALUATION

1. An ion of platinum has a mass number of 195 and contains 74 electrons. How many protons and neutrons
do it contain, and what is its charge?

24 25
2. A sample of magnesium is found to contain 78.70% of Mg atoms (mass 23.98 amu), 10.13% of Mg
26
atoms (mass 24.99 amu), and 11.17% of Mg atoms (mass 25.98 amu). Calculate the average mass of a Mg
atom. An ion of platinum has a mass number of 195 and contains 74 electrons. How many protons and
neutrons does it contain, and what is its charge?
63 65
3. Naturally occurring copper consists of Cu (mass 62.9296 amu) and Cu (mass 64.9278 amu), with an
average mass of 63.546 amu. What is the percent composition of Cu in terms of these two isotopes?
