  1. Chapter 1 Matter and Measurements

  2. Chemistry: the “Central Science” • Chemistry is the study of matter • Nature of matter • Properties of matter • Transformations of matter

  3. Matter, its Nature • Matter is anything that has mass and volume. (Anything that takes up space) • So when someone tells you that you are a waste of space…. • You say, “nope, I matter.”

  4. Matter, its Properties • Physical • Size • Color • Melting point • etc • Chemical • Pretty much the whole course!

  5. Matter, its Transformations • Physical vs. Chemical Changes • Physical change • Chemical makeup doesn’t change • Chemical change • It does!

  6. States of Matter • 5 States of Matter (book says 3) • Solid • Definite volume • Definite shape • Liquid • Definite volume • Indefinite shape (will take the shape of container) • Gas • Indefinite volume • Indefinite shape • Will FILL it’s container

  7. States of Matter, The Noobs • Plasma • Like a gas, but are high temperature free charged particles • i.e., Hydrogen in stars • Bose-Einstein Condensates • Predicted by the above in the 1920s • 1995 first discovered • At a few BILLIONTHS of a degree above absolute zero, atoms clump forming……

  8. …a SUPERATOM! DAH, DAH, DAH! • Atoms become indistinguishable from each other.

  9. Changes of State • When matter changes from one state to another this is called a change of state, or a phase change. • Solid to liquid • Melting • Liquid to solid • Freezing

  10. Classification of Matter • Pure substance • Uniform in chemical composition and properties • Element • Compound (or molecule) • Mixture • Can vary in chemical composition and properties

  11. Chemical Reactions Reactants  Products H2+ S  H2S

  12. Chemical Symbols • All elements have a one or two letter symbol, a type of shorthand • Symbols are combined to form chemical formulas H2O 2 Hydrogen atoms 1 Oxygen atom

  13. Types of Elements • Metals • Solids (except Hg) • shiny, good conductors of heat and electricity, and are malleable • Nonmetals • Gases, liquid (Br) and solids • Are not. • Metaloids • Are in between (Si)

  14. Example of Chemical Change • Nickel + hydrochloric acid  Nickel (II) chloride + hydrogen • Ni + HCl  NiCl2 + H2 • Figure 1.5 on Page 14 to see the difference in the properties of reactants and products

  15. Physical Quantities • Length, volume, temperature, and other properties are physical quantities • A physical quantity is described by a number AND a unit • 10g is a physical quantiy • 10 is a number

  16. SI Units • SI units are used in science • Similar to the metric system • Table 1.5 page 16 of your book shows the fundamental SI units (minus a few). • There are also derived units combining 2 or more fundamental units • *volume is actually a derived unit LxWxH • Speed, m/s • Density g/cm3

  17. SI Prefixes • Help describe really big or really small numbers • “kilo” means “thousands” • So 10 km = 10 thousand meters • “nano” means “billionth” • So 5 nm = 0.000000005 meter

  18. Measuring Mass • Mass: the amount of matter in an object • “Weight” is the measure of gravity’s effect on a mass • We use weight to determine mass by using a balance (not a scale) • We can do this because gravity is constant • Usually use g, mg, μg in chemistry due to the sizes we typically work with

  19. Measuring Length and Volume • Length is the distance an object spans • A meter is too long for most things in science • You’ll see cm, mm, µm, nm instead • Measure with a ruler, micrometer, etc • Volume is the amount of space an object occupies • m3 is too large, so we use liter (L) = 1dm3 • Will see mL mostly: 1000mL = 1L • (1mL=1cm3= 1cc) • Measure with a graduated cylinder, or by measuring LxWxH

  20. Significant Figures • Every measurement has an “uncertainty” • Significant figures (or significant digits) show the precision of a measurement • The last digit of a value is the first “uncertain” digit • For a mass of 54.07g • 54.0 is certain, and 0.07 is an estimate of + 1

  21. Rules on Sig Figs • All non zero numbers are significant • Zeros between non zero numbers are significant • Zeros at the beginning of a number are not significant (they only show the location of the decimal point) • Zeros at the end of a number and after the decimal point are significant • Zeros at the end and before an implied decimal point may or may not be significant (use scientific notation=fixed)

  22. Sig Fig Examples 128.200 = ? S.F. 6 S.F. 128.2 = ? S.F. 4 S.F. 0.0012 = ? S.F. 2 S.F. 0.00120 = ? S.F. 3 S.F. 10204 = ? S.F. 5 S.F.

  23. Scientific Notation • Easy way to express very large or very small numbers • Written as a number between 1 and 10 times a power of 10 • 6.02 x 1023 • = 602000000000000000000000 • When the exponent is positive, the number is greater than 1. • When the exponent is negative, the number is less than 1

  24. Scientific Notation Examples 0.002 = ? 2 x 10-3 200 = ? 2 x 102 0.000504 = ? 5.04 x 10-4 3.2 x 10-2 = ? 0.032 More? With practice this is easy!

  25. Rounding Off Numbers • Sig Figs help us to round off numbers • When multiplying or dividing, the answer has the same number of S.F. as the original number with the least number of S.F. 124 x 2.4 = 513.6  510

  26. Rounding Continued • When adding or subtracting, the answer cannot have more digits after the decimal point than either of the original numbers 32.56 + 1.268 33.828  33.83

  27. Conversion Factors • Often in chemistry (or in life) we have to convert from one unit into another • The best way to do this is by using the “factor label” method. • Also called unit analysis, or dimensional analysis • Generically: Starting amount X conversion Factor = equivalent amount

  28. Example • How many grams are in 3.4 kilograms? 3.4 kg x 1000 g = X g kg Starting amt x conversion = equivalent amount factor  3400 g

  29. Tougher Example • A dose of painkiller is 600mg. Each pill contains 150mg of painkiller. How many pills are in a dose 600mg = 150mg x ? pill pill ALGEBRA ALERT!! 600mg x pill = ? pill 150mg 4 pills

  30. Goofy Answers • If you are looking for a mass, g and you get something like mg/g2, you did something wrong!!!! 10 g x g 1000 mg = 0.01 g2/mg  BUZZ, Try Again! Usually this means an upside-down conversion factor!

  31. “Estimating” • Identify given information • Identify result needed, including units • Find relationships (conversion factors) • Solve the problem • “Estimate” if it’s in the “ballpark” • If you did the first 4 right, you shouldn’t need this step!!!!

  32. Temperature, Heat and Energy • Chemical reactions involve a change in energy • Energy is the capacity to do work • Energy in detail is Chapter 7

  33. Measuring Temperature • Temperature is a measure of thermodynamic energy (not heat!) • SI unit is the Kelvin (K) • K is the same size as a °C • 273.15K = 0 °C (using 273 is fine) • So K = °C + 273.15 • 0K is “absolute zero” • Measure temp with a thermometer

  34. Units of Energy and Heat • SI unit is the Joule (J) • Also will see calorie (cal, kcal) • One kcal = one Calorie • Heat is a type of energy • Specific Heat is how much energy is needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance 1 °C.

  35. Using Specific Heat Heat (cal) = Mass (g) x Temp change (°C) x Specific Heat ( cal ) g * °C We can measure mass and temperature change, and can look up specific heat to determine heat.

  36. Example of Specific Heat • Example 1.15 page 32 of your book 95kg = 9500g Temp change = 40 °- 15 °= 25 °C Specific heat of water = 1.0 cal (g * °C) Heat = 9500 g x 25 °C x 1.0 cal = 240,000 cal (g * °C) = 2.4 x 105 cal (or 240 kcal)

  37. Density • Density is the relationship between an objects mass and its volume • How much mass is packed into how much volume • Expressed as g/mL (or g/cm3) • Makes it easy to determine the mass of a liquid, because it’s easier to measure its volume!

  38. Density Example • A piece of wood weighs 5 grams and has a volume of 8 cm3. What is its density? Density = g/cm3 Density = 5 g / 8 cm3 = 0.625 g/cm3 = 0.6 g/cm3

  39. Specific Gravity • Specific gravity (sp gr) is the density of the substance divided by the density of water at the same temperature • Density of water is usually 1.00 g/mL • Sp gr is useful to compare values as a unitless quantity • Winemaking • Dissolved solids in Urine

  40. Homework • End of chapter questions: • 1.39 • 1.51 • 1.65 • 1.67 • 1.81 • 1.89 • 1.91
