O The stuff that makes up the universe
O Example changes – digesting food, make
synthetic fabrics, burning fuel, producing
medicines

How do we study Chemistry?
O The Scientific Method – a system of making questions, developing explanations, and testing those explanations against the reality of the natural world
O OR: an organized system helping to explain the world around us
![Page 5: Unit 1 Tools of Chemistry - Mrs. Westphal's Classroommrswestphal.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/5/13258067/chapter_1__the_… · Unit 1 – Tools of Chemistry Objective: To understand the](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040606/5eadd02aec49cd23fb034d67/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Scientific Method – The “Steps”
1. Identify and state the problem or question
2. Gather information and collect data
3. Make a hypothesis about the problem
1. A tentative, reasonable, TESTABLE explanation of the facts
4. Experiment!
1. Test whether or not your hypothesis is correct
5. Collect and analyze your data
6. Make a conclusion
1. Did your problem get solved or question answered?
1. If not repeat the steps
![Page 6: Unit 1 Tools of Chemistry - Mrs. Westphal's Classroommrswestphal.weebly.com/uploads/1/3/2/5/13258067/chapter_1__the_… · Unit 1 – Tools of Chemistry Objective: To understand the](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022040606/5eadd02aec49cd23fb034d67/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The Scientific Method – Hypothesis, Theory, or Law
O Hypothesis – a possible explanation or guess at the solution to your problem based on observation O IE: The sun caused the paint to fade more on the west side vs. the north
side of the house.
O What you think might happen in your experiment?
O Theory – summarizes a hypothesis or group of hypotheses that have been supported with repeated testing. O Are accepted as true when there is no evidence to refute it – NOT fact
O IE: Darwin’s Theory of Evolution, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity
O Law – a generalization of a body of observations O There are no exceptions in a scientific law when it is made
O IE: Newton’s Laws of Motion, Ideal Gas Laws
O Do not explain why, they just say what occurs

Warm Up
O SpongeBob loves to garden and wants to grow lots of pink flowers for his pal Sandy. He bought a special Flower Power fertilizer to see if will help plants produce more flowers. He plants two plants of the same size in separate containers with the same amount of potting soil. He places one plant in a sunny window and waters it every day with fertilized water. He places the other plant on a shelf in a closet and waters it with plain water every other day.
O What did SpongeBob do wrong in this experiment? Explain.
O What should SpongeBob do to test the effectiveness of Flower Power fertilizer? Write an experiment.

Steps O Place the given quantity on the top of the ladder
O Place the unit you want to convert to on the top and the unit you want on the bottom
O What is the conversion factor between the two units?
O Cross out the units that cancel
O Multiply across the top and bottom
O Divide the top from the bottom

Helpful Hints
O Figure out what unit(s) you are converting to and
from
O Write them down
O Set up the problem using your units first
O Don’t forget, you can do this in several steps, if
you don’t have a conversion factor between two
units find a unit they have in common
O If the units don’t cancel and leave you with your
desired unit, something is wrong

Practice
1. If your heart beats at a rate of 72 beats per minute, how many times will your heart beat each year?
2. Basketball player Shaquille O’Neal weighs 310pounds. What is his weight (mass) in kilograms?
3. How many days would it take you to count 200,000 items assuming you count one item every second, without stopping?
4. Since 5280ft = 1 mile, and 12in = 1ft, how many inches are in 3.5miles?

Evaluating Measurement O Percent Error – how far away from the accepted value
O %error = 𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 −𝑒𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒 𝑥 100
𝑎𝑐𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑒𝑑 𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒
O Qualitative Measurement – a description without any
measurement tools
O Color, shape, texture, etc
O Quantitative Measurement – a description of an
object with numbers using units
O Length, density, mass, etc
O Something you can place on a graph

Evaluating Measurement
O Accuracy – the Closeness of a quantitative
measurement to its accepted value
O Precision – the closeness of a set of values
in relationship to each other

Uncertainty in Measurement
O Using Sig Figs, sometimes accuracy and precision are lost
O IE: two population signs say the follow
O Littleton – Population 784
O Largeton – Population 6100
O Which of these is a more precise reporting of the population based on sig figs?
O The same rules apply to measurement in chemistry
O You need to measure in the number of sig figs the tool is graduated in plus one estimated unit

Uncertainty in Measurement O To determine the estimated digit
O When measuring and the measurement isn’t
directly on a line, you must round to the next
closest significant figure
O This means you must determine what the
increments stand for and what the next
increment will tell you

Measurement Uncertainty
O When measuring volume, you eye level
should be looking squarely at the bottom of
the meniscus
O The crescent shaped liquid surface caused
by the attraction of the liquid to the container

Chemistry Basics– Physical & Chemical
O Physical Properties – properties of an object
that can be changes WITHOUT changing the
objects chemical components
O Temperature, state, length, mass, volume,
pressure, velocity, area, color, texture
O Physical Change – an alteration of a
substance that DOES NOT change into
something new
O Heating, shaping, cutting, changing state,

O Chemical Properties – describe the ability of an object to undergo a chemical change (rxn) forming something completely new
O Reactivity, toxicity, preferred type of chemical bonds, oxidation state, flammability
O Chemical Changes – reactions (this is the fun lab work of actually changing an object into something new)
O Digestion, combustion, explosions,
O Clues to a chemical change: color change, productions of a new substance (solid, liquid or gas), energy absorbed or released, not easily reversed
