Instructor: This PowerPoint presentation contains photos and figures from the
text, as well as selected animations and videos. For animations and videos to
run properly, we recommend that you run this PowerPoint presentation from
the PowerLecture disc inserted in your computer. Also, for the mathematical
symbols to display properly, you must install the supplied font called
“Symb_chm,” supplied as a cross-platform TrueType font in the
“Font_for_Lectures” folder in the "Media" folder on this disc.
If you prefer to customize the presentation or run it without the
PowerLecture disc inserted, the animations and videos will only run properly if
you also copy the associated animation and video files for each chapter onto
your computer. Follow these steps:
1. Go to the disc drive directory containing the PowerLecture disc, and
then to the “Media” folder, and then to the
“PowerPoint_Lectures” folder.
2. In the “PowerPoint_Lectures” folder, copy the entire chapter
folder to your computer. Chapter folders are named “chapter1”,
“chapter2”, etc. Each chapter folder contains the PowerPoint Lecture
file as well as the animation and video files.
For assistance with installing the fonts or copying the animations and
video files, please visit our Technical Support at
http://academic.cengage.com/support or call (800) 423-0563. Thank you.

CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS are
composed of atoms and so can be
decomposed to those atoms.

STATES OF MATTER
• SOLIDS — have rigid shape, fixed volume.
External shape can reflect the atomic and
molecular arrangement.
– Reasonably well understood.
• LIQUIDS — have no fixed shape and may
not fill a container completely.
– Not well understood.
• GASES — expand to fill their container.
– Good theoretical understanding.

SOLUTION
1. Get dimensions in common units.
 1cm 
0.95 mm 
= 0.095 cm

 10 mm 
2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters.
(9.36 cm)(7.23 cm)(0.095 cm) = 6.4 cm3
Note only 2 significant figures in the answer!
3.
Calculate the density.

= 9.0 g/cm3
DENSITY
• Density is an
INTENSIVE property
of matter.
–does NOT depend
on quantity of
matter.
–temperature
• Contrast with

–depends on
quantity of matter.
–mass and volume.

• Chemical change or chemical reaction —
transformation of one or more atoms or
molecules into one or more different molecules.

• We make QUALITATIVE
observations of reactions —
changes in color and physical
state.
• We also make QUANTITATIVE
MEASUREMENTS, which involve
numbers.
• Use SI units — based on the
