LEARNING OBJECTIVES/ASSESSMENT
When you have completed your study of this chapter, you should be able to:
1. Explain what matter is. (Section 1.1; Exercise 1.2)
2. Explain differences between the terms physical and chemical as applied to:
a. Properties of matter (Section 1.2; Exercises 1.10 b & c)
b. Changes in matter (Section 1.2; Exercises 1.8 a & b)
3. Describe matter in terms of the accepted scientific model. (Section 1.3; Exercise 1.12)
4. On the basis of observation or information given to you, classify matter into the correct category of
each of the following pairs:
a. Heterogeneous or homogeneous (Section 1.4; Exercise 1.22)
b. Solution or pure substance (Section 1.4; Exercise 1.24)
c. Element or compound (Section 1.4; Exercise 1.18)
5. Recognize the use of measurement units in everyday activities. (Section 1.5; Exercise 1.28)
6. Recognize units of the metric system, and convert measurements done using the metric system into
related units. (Section 1.6; Exercises 1.30 and 1.40)
7. Express numbers using scientific notation, and do calculations with numbers expressed in scientific
notation. (Section 1.7; Exercises 1.48 and 1.60)
8. Express the results of measurements and calculations using the correct number of significant figures.
(Section 1.8; Exercises 1.64 and 1.66)
9. Use the factor-unit method to solve numerical problems. (Section 1.9; Exercise 1.82)
10. Do calculations involving percentages. (Section 1.10; Exercise 1.92)
11. Do calculations involving densities. (Section 1.11; Exercise 1.98)
SOLUTIONS FOR THE END OF CHAPTER EXERCISES
WHAT IS MATTER? (SECTION 1.1)
;1.2 All matter occupies space and has mass. Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in
an object. The mass of an object is constant regardless of where the mass is measured.
Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on an object. The weight of an
object will change with gravity; therefore, the weight of an object will be different at different
altitudes and on different planets.
1.4 The distance you can throw a bowling ball will change more than the distance you can roll a
bowling ball on a flat, smooth surface. When throwing a ball, gravity pulls the ball toward
the ground and air resistance slows its decent. The gravitational force on the moon is
approximately 1/6th the gravitational force that is present on the earth; therefore, when
throwing a ball on the moon, you should be able to throw it further than you can on earth.
The moon does not have air resistance. When rolling a ball, friction helps to slow down the
ball. If the flat, smooth surface is the same on the earth and the moon, the amount of friction
should remain constant.
