California interconnected water system serves over 30 million people and irrigates over 5,680,000 acres (2,300,000 hectare, 1 ha = 100m2) of farmland. As the world’s largest, most productive, and most controversial water system, it manages over 40,000,000 acre feet (49 km3) of water per year.

2 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 LA Scandal for Water

Everyone who lives here should appreciate just how it is that we are able to live in a desert that is drier than Beirut, yet still maintain green lawns and golf courses and have enough running water to serve the population of the 2nd largest metropolis in the whole of the US. Southern California owes its tenuous existence to some spectacular feats of engineering, which bring water in from remote sources hundreds of miles away. Before these were There are 3 main water sources coming into the SoCal serving different geographic regions: constructed, the city of LA was reliant upon the intermittent flows Los Angeles Aqueduct - constructed in 1908-1913

of the Los Angeles river which Colorado Aqueduct - constructed around 1940 effectively limited population California Aqueduct- constructed in the 1970s growth. 3 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10

5 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Phases of Matter: Terminology

Consider the following: solid-liquid-gas How does this take place ? What type of changes are occurring? Is this process reversible ?

6 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Kinetic Molecular Model - Change of state at the molecular level

• Solid - fix neighbors, no translation motion and large attraction between particles. Vibration motion is dominant. • Liquid - random tumbling, large translation but particles still attract each other. • Gas - no attraction for each other and large translation in space. 7 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 What is the mechanism that brings about the different forms of matter

Intramolecular Forces - Force which keeps molecule together, i.e., bonds.

Intermolecular Forces - Attractive force between molecules. Responsible for keeping matter in solid or liquid phase.

Invisible forces called Intermolecular Forces

9 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Matter and its Classification • Classification of matter? – • Elements, – • compound, – • mixture, ...

• Each Class of matter can take different forms. Phase Element Compound Homogeneous Mixture Heterogeneous Mixture Solid Diamond Table salt 14 karat gold Beach sand Liquid Mercury Water Gasoline Balsamic dressing Gas Oxygen Methane Air Dust

• Distinguishing physical & chemical properties. – Identity of matter retained vs. Identity changed

10 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Classification of Matter

11 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Substances: Compounds and Elements

Compounds • Single substance with two or more different element

Elemental Compound • Substance with one type of element.

12 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Mixtures Homogeneous Mixtures • Two or more substances that is uniformly mixed

Heterogeneous Mixtures • Two or more substances that is not uniformly mixed

13 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Forms of Matter use in World War 1

Tear gas, formally known as The sulfur a lachrymatory agent or mustards, or lachrymator (from lacrima sulphur mustards, meaning "tear" in Latin), is a commonly known as non-lethal gas, are a that stimulates the corneal class of related nerves in the eyes to cause cytotoxic and tears, pain, and even vesicant chemical blindness. Common warfare agents with lachrymators include pepper the ability to form spray (OC gas), CS gas, CR large blisters on gas, CN gas (phenacyl the exposed skin chloride), nonivamide, bromoacetone, xylyl and in the lungs. bromide, syn-propanethial- S-oxide (from ), and (a branded mixture).

14 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Consider the following: Determining Class of Matter Consider the following forms of matter -Classify each material of matter.

Carbon Helium Xenon Nitrogen Tetrathiooxalate , Carbon disulfide, dioxide dioxide monoxide Carbon monosulfide

CO 2 He XeO2, O2 & NO Xe C2S4, CS2, CS

15 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Consider the following: Determining Class of Matter Consider the following Substances -Classify each material and state phase of matter. -Come up with separation scheme. -Isolate the elements in water.

If all of the above were mixed in one pot. If all are mixed, then the ethanol will mix with water. The will dissolved in the water. Sand is more dense than the liquid and will sink. Carbon or charcoal is less dense so it will float.

Separate the sand from the carbon by decanting the carbon with the liquid. Wash sand with more water to remove and residual carbon.

16 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Changing Matter • Physical change: Identity Retained – Change in the observable properties without change of substance identity: – Refers to material changing form but not identity. – Example: Phase Change – Physical change of matter in which the identity of the substance is retained.

• Chemical change: Identity Changed – Refers to material changing to a completely different type of material, or transformation to a new substance. – This process involves bond breaking and bond forming such that material changes identity.

• Sugar dissolving Heating Sugar

• Cutting wood Burning wood

• Applying glue Nylon synthesis

• Melting ice Electrolysis of water

19 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Separating Matter to its components

•Exploitation of the different properties of a mixture to separate matter.

•Chromatography of ink

21 Understanding our World through Chemistry January 10 Summary

The Universe = Matter + Energy

Matter = Mixture, compounds and elements.

• Mixture can be separated to pure substances by physical means.

• Compounds can be separated to elements by chemical means only.

• When separating mixtures by physical means, the unique properties of matter is used as the basis of separation.
