Let’s Get Started!! Chapter 1- start to finish
CHEMISTRY • The science that deals with the materials of the universe and the changes that these materials undergo • Wood burns • Plants grow • Iron rusts • Bread bakes • Human digestion
The Scientific Method • State the problem • Make observations • Form a hypothesis • Perform an experiment • Make observations • Develop a Law • A summary of observed behavior • Develop a theory • An explanation of behavior • Continue to experiment • Modify theory as needed
Important Terms • Matter • Anything that has mass and volume • Mass • Amount of matter in an object • The measure of the resistance of an object to a change in its state of motion • Volume • Amount of space an object occupies • Qualitative observations • Observations not requiring measurements • Quantitative observations • Observations requiring measurements
Weight!?! • The force that gravity exerts • In chem (or in AP) all our measurements will be on earth (we hope!) so weight & mass are interchangeable.
Mass Length Time Temp kg m s K Fundamental Units
Electric current Amt of substance Luminous intensity A mol cd Fundamental Units
Kilo deci centi milli 103 10-1 10-2 10-3 Prefixes Used in SI system
micro nano 10-6 10-9 Prefixes Used in SI system
Uncertainty of Measurement • Gold costs $5.75 for .01 g • Mass ring- 7.62 g • Dealer says- 8 g
What’s the problem? • The decimal places are SIGNIFICANT!!
Numbers are significant when… 1. They are NOT zero! 2. They are exact numbers • Conversions, pi, counted numbers
Numbers are significant when… • Zeros 1. Captive zeros- YES 2. Leading zeros- NO 3. Trailing zeros- YES
Multiply and Divide • Number of sig figs in answer is same as number with least number of sig figs
Add and Subtract • Result has same number of decimal places as number with least decimal places in calculation

2.002 X 3.42 X 5 = 703.2+34.223–21.45 = 34.2 X 25.3 + 1.332 = 30 716.0 866 Some Math…
Precision • Degree of agreement among several measurements
Accuracy • Degree of agreement of a particular value with the accepted value
Error?? What error? • Random error • Equal chance of being high or low • Systematic error • Same direction each time
Dimensional Analysis • UNIT FACTOR METHOD! • A student entered a 12.0 km run. How many miles is it?
Temperature • Three scales • Fahrenheit • Celsius • Kelvin
Density • Mass/Volume
Physical and Chemical Properties and Changes • Physical Property • Characteristics that describe a substance • Physical Change • A change that does not affect the composition of the substance • Chemical Property • Characteristics that refer to the ability to form new substances • Chemical Change • A change which produces new substances
Separation Techniques • Distillation • Filtration • Chromatography
