Why Take “Chemistry”? • Guidance 2. Career 3. How does the world work? Sweat Computers Atomic bombs Fireworks Ice skating Water bugs Fossil fuels Acid rain Why doesn’t a gas tank explode?
Remsen’s study of nitric acid • Jot down your observations Chemistry What is it?
Ira Remsen’s Experiment • Penny + nitric acid observations:
OBS. HYP. EXP. THEO. • Observation • (not inference) Scientific Method • a logical way to study problems OBS. the solution turned blue
OBS. HYP. EXP. THEO. • Hypothesis: a proposed explanation for the observation that can be tested. The copper in the penny changed to produce the blue color.
OBS. HYP. EXP. THEO. • Experiment: a means to test the hypothesis. Try the same reaction using silver metal instead of a copper penny.
OBS. HYP. EXP. THEO. HYPOTHESIS EXPERIMENT
OBS. HYP. EXP. THEO. • Theory: an explanation of why experiments give certain results. • broad in scope • predictive • can never be proven
What is a model? Model of the atom Cu + 4H+ +2NO3- Cu2+ + 2NO2+ 2H2O Theory Model Remen’s experiment:
Not a Bunch of Facts Patterns !
Chemistry Student definitions. • Chemistry: study of the • composition of substances & • changes substances undergo.
Chemistry in the Real World Everything is a chemical !!!
Chemistry: Brief History • B.C.: Some Greeks thought: • Matter made of particles (atoms) vs. continuous • Based on pure logic, rather than experimental
Modern Concepts 1700’s Antoine Lavoisier: • father of modern chemistry • “laboratory” • excerpt • 1800’s Dalton • atomic theory based on data • 1850’s Mendeleev • Periodic Table
MATTER? Matter • Anything that takes up space and has mass. aluminum light water temperature airheat
Matter The amount of matter is measured by MASS not volume or weight. (water vs. air)
Types of Matter • 1.Substance (“pure substance”) • Matter with uniform and definite composition. • Every sample has exactly the same properties. example: water
Two Types of Pure Substances Element- simplest form of matter that can exist in the lab. e.g. C, H, etc (Periodic Table) Compound- contains 2 or more differentelements bonded together; it can be broken into simpler substances “chemically.” e.g. water, salt (NaCl), sugar
heat Carbon: C element Water: H2O compound + electrical energy Hydrogen: H2 element Oxygen: O2 element + Sugar: C6H12O6 compound
Element vs. Compound? • Classify: • Water: H2O • Vinegar: HC2H3O2 • Oxygen: O2 • Ozone: O3
Types of Matter • 2. Mixtures • two or more different substances mixed together • proportions can be varied • (e.g. 20% salt in water vs. • 30% salt in water) • each substance retains its original properties
Mixtures: Two Types 1. Homogeneous mixture • mixture with uniform composition throughout • mixed at the “molecular level” • often transparent, not cloudy • synonym is “solution.” e.g. salt water, steel
Mixtures: Two Types • 2. Heterogeneous mixture • mixture that does not have uniform composition • often see small chunks or pieces of different substances • often cloudy e.g. soil Italian salad dressing
Mixtures can be separated by physical means • chromatography (demo) • distillation (next slide) • magnetism (lab) • filtration (lab) • density
physically separable chemically separable Classification of Matter Kool-aidcement wateroxygen
Ice Water Steam States of Matter How many? •4 states of matter!
Changing States of Matter (Temp. is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the molecules that make up the substance.) Raise Temperature
Physical Property Quality that can be observed without changing the substance’s composition.
Physical Change A change that does not alter the substance’s composition. e.g. boiling water, cutting paper
Chemical Property Ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction and form a new substance. Reactants products e.g. iron + sulfur iron(II) sulfide (NOT simply mixing iron + sulfur) Demo
Chemical or Physical ?? • dry ice evaporates • a car fender rusts • pepper is ground-up in a pepper mill • bread goes stale • water freezes • you file your nails • you take an antacid tablet
Conservation of Mass & Energy In any process or reaction, both mass and energy are conserved. • e.g. burn coal: • where does the mass go? • where does the heat energy come from?
Elements Write the name or symbol: fluorine zinc neon chromium manganese I U Ni Ag Fe
Warm-up Define “chemistry”
Warm-up When water boils, it gives off air bubbles. Is this statement an observation?
Warm-up Explain the difference between a homogeneous mixture and heterogeneous mixture. • Mud? • Kool Aid? • Milk?
