Safety hazard shapes
Triangle: yellow- caution
Diamond: orange- warning
Octagon: red- danger
Matter
Anything that has mass and takes up space
Hazard warnings
Flammable: Toxic Explosive Irritant Corrosive Biological Electrical
WHIMIS
Workplace hazardous materials information system- easy to see warning symbols for hazardous materials
These symbols are designed to help protect people from these materials that might be harmful at work
WHIMIS symbols…
Compressed gas, dangerously reactive material, oxidizing material, poisonous and infectious causing immediate and serious toxic affects, flammable and combustible material, bio hazardous infectious material, corrosive material, poisonous and infectious causing other toxic effects
Lab safety rules
Read and listen to all instructions
Wash yours hands to before and after handling chemicals
Wear safety gloves, googles or an apron
Think before touch
Smell a substance by wafting it with your hands
Do not taste anything in the lab
Tie back hair or loose clothing
Never pour liquids into a container held in your hand
Clean up all spills
Never look into containers from the top
Never use cracked glassware
Label containers you put chemicals in
Report all accidents to the teacher
Be aware of the WHIMIS symbols on products
States of matter
Solid liquid gas
Melting
From a solid to a liquid
Evaporation
Liquid to gas
Condensation
Gas to liquid
Freezing
Liquid to a solid
Sublimation
Solid directly to gas
Deposition
Gas directly to solid
Properties
Characteristics that can be used to describe a substance
All matter has two properties: physical and chemical
Physical properties
Colour, lustre, melting point, boiling point, hardness, malleability, ductility, crystal shape, solubility, density and conductivity
Physical change
Appearance or state may be altered but it has the same composition
Ex. Ice cream melts but tastes the same
Melting point
The temperature in which a substance will change from a solid to a liquid
Melting point of ice is 0•C - at this temp it changes its physical state to water
Boiling point
The temperature in which a substance changes to the has phase. The sea levels water boiling point is 100• C
Hardness
A substances ability to resist being scratched. Usually measured on the Mohs’ hardness scale which is from 1-10
Mineral talc is the softest substance on the scale (1)
Malleability
A substance that can be pounded or rolled into sheets.
Metal such as gold and tin are malleable substances
Ductility
Any solid that can be stretched into a long wire is said to be ductile
The most common example is copper
Crystal shape
The shape of a substances crystals can help identify it.
Silicon crystals are diamond shape and salt crystals are cubes.
Solubility
The ability of a substance to be dissolved into another
Sugar is soluble me in water but cooking oil is not.
Density
The amount of mass in a given volume of s substance.
The density of water is 1 g/mL
