Keys to the Study of Chemistry Chapter 1 1-
HOW TO LEARN CHEMISTRY? Think of it as a foreign language Memorize the new words, names of elements and compounds, definitions Use flash cards Learn how to be a scientist Also question everything you read or hear - even me or the textbooks. Scientific exploration begins with questions, and leads to more questions. Read “Study tips and how to take a test” in your packet of handouts. 1-
CHEMISTRY Is the study of matter, its properties, the changes that matter undergoes, and the energy associated with these changes. 1-
Matter anything that has mass and volume -the “stuff” of the universe: books, planets, trees, professors, students Composition the types and amounts of simpler substances that make up a sample of matter Properties the characteristics that give each substance a unique identity Definitions Physical Properties those which the substance shows by itself without interacting with another substance such as color, melting point, boiling point, density Chemical Properties those which the substance shows as it interacts with, or transforms into, other substances such as flammability, corrosiveness 1-

REVIEW OF DEFINITIONS YOU SHOULD ALREADY KNOW: Phases of matter: solid, liquid, and gas, and phase changes between them Solutions of matter: s, l or g mixtures. Solute dissolved in a solvent = a solution. Physical properties and chemical properties (see previous slides) Extensive vs. Intensive properties Separation processes 1-
PROBLEM: Decide whether each of the following process is primarily a physical or a chemical change, and explain briefly: Sample Problem 1.2 Distinguishing Between Physical and Chemical Change (a) Frost forms as the temperature drops on a humid winter night. (b) A cornstalk grows from a seed that is watered and fertilized. (c) Dynamite explodes to form a mixture of gases. (d) Perspiration evaporates when you relax after jogging. (e) A silver fork tarnishes slowly in air. SOLUTION: (a) physical change (b) chemical change (c) chemical change (d) physical change (e) chemical change 1-
Energy is the capacity to do work. Energy due to the position of the object or energy from a potential chemical reaction Potential Energy Nonpotential Energy Energy due to the motion of the object E=1/2 mv2 Heat transfer q=mcpDT Light energy e=hn Radiant energy, blackbody radiation Etc. Potential and nonpotential energy can be interconverted. (See figure 1.3 in your textbook) 1-
Natural phenomena and measured events; universally consistent ones can be stated as a natural law. Observations : Hypothesis: Tentative proposal that explains observations. revised if experiments do not support it Procedure to test hypothesis; measures one variable at a time. Experiment: Set of conceptual assumptions that explains data from accumulated experiments; predicts related phenomena. Model (Theory): altered if predictions do not support it Further Experiment: Tests predictions based on model. Scientific Approach: Developing a Model Fig 1.4 1-

Temperature Scales and Interconversions Kelvin ( K ) - The “Absolute temperature scale” begins at absolute zero and only has positive values. Celsius ( oC ) - The temperature scale used by science, formally called centigrade, most commonly used scale around the world; water freezes at 0oC, and boils at 100oC. Fahrenheit ( oF ) -Commonly used scale in the U.S. for our weather reports; water freezes at 32oF and boils at 212oF. K = oC + 273.15 oC = K - 273.15 oF = 1.8 oC + 32 oC = [oF - 32 ]/ 1.8 Memorize these!!! 1-
TEMPERATURE CALCULATIONS Convert room temperature of 72.0oF to oC and to Kelvin. Apply sig fig rules of math. (Do you remember them?) In the northeast, we say “below zero” for very cold temperatures, but this is referring to Fahrenheit. What is “five below zero” in Celsius? 1-
PERCENT CALCULATIONS Percent: can be by mass or by some other measurement. Percent = part/whole * 100 If a 17.6 g silver bracelet is only 14.1 g Ag, because it is in an alloy with copper for strengthening. What is the percent-mass Ag? And the percent-mass Cu? 1-
Figure 1.7 The number of significant figures in a measurement depends upon the measuring device. 32.330C 32.30C The last digit, shaded gray, is the estimated digit that you would read. It is the digit with some uncertainty. 1-
Rules for Determining Which Digits are Significant:* except zeros that are used only to position the decimal point. All digits are significant • Make sure that the measured quantity has a decimal point. • Start at the left of the number and move right until you reach the first nonzero digit. • Count that digit and every digit to its right as significant. Zeros that end a number and lie either after or before the decimal point are significant; thus 1.030 ml has four significant figures, and 5300. L has four significant figures also. Numbers such as 5300 L are assumed to only have 2 significant figures. A terminal decimal point is often used to clarify the situation, but scientific notation is the best! *See informational handout “The Rules of Significant Figures” 1-
83.5 mL + 23.28 mL 865.9 mL - 2.8121 mL Rules for Significant Figures in Calculations 1. For addition and subtraction. The answer has the same number of decimal places as there are in the measurement with the fewest decimal places. Example: adding two volumes 106.78 mL = 106.8 mL Example: subtracting two volumes 863.0879 mL = 863.1 mL 1-
Rules for Significant Figures in Answers 2. For multiplication and division. The number with the least certainty limits the certainty of the result.Therefore, the answer contains the same number of significant figures as there are in the measurement with the fewest significant figures. Multiply the following numbers: 9.2 cm x 6.8 cm x 0.3744 cm = 23.4225 cm3 =23cm3 1-
Rules for Rounding Off Numbers 1. If the digit removed is greater than or equal to 5, the preceding number increases by 1. 5.379 rounds to 5.38 if three significant figures are retained and to 5.4 if two significant figures are retained. 2. If the digit removed is less than 5, the preceding number is unchanged. 0.2413 rounds to 0.241 if three significant figures are retained and to 0.24 if two significant figures are retained. Be sure to carry two or more additional significant figures through a multi-step calculation and round off only the final answer. 1-
Practice • Pair up with your lab partner or someone in your study group. Look at sample problem 1.9, sig figs and rounding. Then do its follow-up problem. Be prepared to show me your work. 1-
Precision and Accuracy Errors in Scientific Measurements Precision - Refers to reproducibility orhow close the measurements are to each other. Accuracy - Refers to how close a measurement is to the real value. Systematic error - Values that are either all higher or all lower than the actual value. Random Error - In the absence of systematic error, some values that are higher and some that are lower than the actual value. 1-
