Matter and Change

Slide 3

What is Chemistry All About? How does this photo illustrate what chemistry is all about?? Chemical reactions of rusting/weathering/maybe a fire in the fireplace Physical states of water Different types of materials: glass, wood, living material, brick, snow

Slide 4

The Study of Matter and Change What is Matter? Anything that has mass and takes up space (volume) Not Matter Light Energy Emotions or Feelings Thoughts Electricity Sound

Slide 5

Pure Science Vs Applied Science Pure Science: For the sake of the knowledge Studying butterflies just to know more Researcher lives on a remote island to daily study the jungle trees Studying ape behavior Applied Science: Using science to solve a particular problem Scientist studying corn in fields to increase the yield for farmers Scientist searching for a cancer cure

Slide 6

Why is Pure Research Important? A Base of knowledge when needed Keeps us current General not specific and possible commercial Accidental Discoveries

Slide 7

Technology Application of Science for human benefit Good and Bad Nuclear Technology Good: EnergyBad: Waste Computer Technology Good: CommunicationBad: Wasted Time

Slide 8

Organic chemistry Inorganic chemistry Physical chemistry Analytical chemistry Biochemistry Environmental chemistry Industrial chemistry Polymer chemistry Theoretical chemistry Thermochemistry Chemistry is traditionally broken into branches that focus on specific areas such as :

Slide 9

This Class HS General Chemistry is Inorganic Inorganic: the study of non-carbon based compounds Organic Chemistry: Study of matter that contains carbon

Slide 10

The Scientific Method The scientific method is a systematic approach used in scientific study, whether it is chemistry, physics, biology, or another science.scientific method To solve problems Not a set of rigid steps It is an organized process used by scientists to do research, and provides methods for scientists to verify the work of others.

Slide 11

Observations Gathering Information (Data) using the five senses No trivial or unimportant observations Dont make inferences or assumptions when you observe Qualitative data is obtained through observations that describe color, smell, shape, or some other physical characteristic that is related to the five senses. Qualitative data Quantitative data is obtained from numerical observations that describe how much, how little, how big or how fast. Quantitative data

Slide 12

Controlled Experiment A test of a hypothesis Making observations under controlled conditions Where only one variable at a time is changed Systematic approach to test a hypothesis Parts of An Experiment Variables: A condition changed in an experiment Independent Dependent Constants: any factor not changed in an experiment Control: Group/set up that has no changes made to it Conclusion: A judgment based on the observations made in a controlled experiment

Slide 13

Independent Variable Changed by the experimenter Allowed to change The Cause in Cause and Effect Manipulated Variable Happens First The waters temperature increased as more heat was applied. The temperature of the solid caused the density of the solid to change An increase in phosphorous helped the plants to grow taller.

Slide 14

Dependent Variable Changes in response to the change in the independent variable Responding Variable Happens second The boiling point increased as salt was added to the water The hamster grew two inches with an increase in the hormone.

Slide 15

Control A point of comparison in an experiment The group that does NOT receive the treatment

Slide 16

Constants Specifics that remain the same between the control group and the experimental group Only the independent variable should be changed by the experimenter Examples of Constants:

Slide 17

Conclusion A conclusion is a judgment based on the information obtained from the experimentconclusion

Slide 18

Hypothesis and Experiment Hypothesis: A tentative explanation of observations A tentative answer A statement to be tested by an experiment Example: If I give the fish more hormone then they will grow longer. Experiment: The test of a hypothesis A controlled set of steps to test a hypothesis

Slide 19

Theory Vs Hypothesis A theory is a hypothesis that has stood the test of repeated experiments An explanation of results Never proven Can be disproven All theories are hypotheses. (True) All hypotheses can become theories. (True) All hypotheses are theories. (False)

Slide 20

Experiment Kate noticed that she could dissolve more sugar in the tea when it was warm than when it was ice cold. She wondered if this was true for all solids. She decided to design an experiment to see if water temperature effects how much salt can be dissolved. She chose table salt as her solid to test. She used water as her solvent. Hypothesis: An increase in the temperature of the water will allow more salt to dissolve, She placed 100 mL of water in each of 10 250 mL beakers. She cooled the water in beaker # 1 to 10 degrees C. The water in beaker #2 was 25 degrees C. Beaker # 3 water was heated to 35 degrees C. Beaker # 4 water was heated to 45 degrees C. Beaker # 5 was heated to 55 degrees C.

Slide 21

Beaker # 6 65 degrees C Beaker # 7 75 degrees C Beaker # 8 85 degrees C Beaker # 9 95 degrees C Beaker # 10 100 degrees C

Slide 22

She added salt to each beaker while using a magnetic stirrer which provided constant and uniform stirring until no more salt would dissolve. She measured and recorded the amount of salt that dissolved in each beaker. Her data is shown below.

Slide 24

Identify the following Independent Variable Dependent Variable Control Constants Possible conclusion Another hypothesis

Slide 25

Scientific Law Vs Theory Observable Fact True: Always observed No known exceptions No explanation Explanation Tentative Can be disproven

Slide 26

Development of a Theory Start with an observation that evokes a question: Broth spoils when I leave it out for a couple of days. Why? Using logic and previous knowledge, state a possible answer, called a Hypothesis: Tiny organisms floating in the air must fall into the broth and start reproducing. Perform an experiment or Test: After boiling some broth, I divide it into two containers, one covered and one not covered. I place them on the table for two days and see if one spoils. Only the uncovered broth spoiled. Then publish your findings in a peer-reviewed journal. Publication: "Only broth that is exposed to the air after two days tended to spoil. The covered specimen did not." Other scientists read about your experiment and try to duplicate it. Verification: Every scientist who tries your experiment comes up with the same results. So they try other methods to make sure your experiment was measuring what it was supposed to. Again, they get the same results every time. In time, and if experiments continue to support your hypothesis, it becomes a Theory: Microorganisms from the air cause broth to spoil. Useful Prediction: If I leave food items open to the air, they will spoil. If I want to keep them from spoiling, I will keep them covered.

Slide 27

Chemistry is Central to our Lives Chemistry is about composition, structure, function, and interaction of matter Everything has composition, structure, function, and interaction. All other sciences (biology, physics, geology, etc) have their basis in chemistry

Slide 28

Mass Vs Weight Mass Weight Not influenced by gravity Changes only when amount of matter changes Kilograms or grams Affected by gravity W = mg g= 9.8 m/s 2

Slide 29

Your Mass Earth Moon M ass = 60 kg Gravity = 1/6 th the gravity on Earth Mass = 60 kg Not affected by gravity

Slide 30

Weight Earth Moon m = 60 kg W = mg W = (6o kg)(9.8m/s 2 ) W = 588 Newtons m = 60 kg W = mg g = 9.8m/s 2 /6 = 1.63 m/s 2 W = (60 kg)(1.63m/s 2 ) W = 98 Newtons

Slide 31

Environment with No Gravity Weight only would change You would weigh less Amount of Matter is not affected Mass stays the same

Slide 32

Submicroscopic and Macroscopic Submicroscopic Macroscopic Atomic Level What happens here determines the macroscopic What we observe Determined by the submicroscopic (atomic) Chemist are interested in how the atomic level determines the macroscopic

Slide 33

Substance is matter that has a definite composition. Also known as a chemical Element Compound One type of atom Oxygen (O 2 ) Ozone (O 3 ) Copper Two or more types of atoms Sodium chloride (table salt) NaCl Ethyl alcohol H 2 O
