Presentation Transcript

  1. Welcome to the World of Chemistry Yale University Chemistry 113 Lectures: Prof. Victor S. BatistaDiscussions: Dr. Iona Black Ms. Brooke Rosenzweig Mr. Robert Snoeberger

  2. REGISTRATION Chem 113 students have to register their preferences for a discussion section onlineas well as in the hard copy card distributed during the first lecture. Students will be able to register their section or lab preference (1, 2, 3) online by following instructions at the Online Course Information (OCI) website. Preference selection has opened and will close on Friday, Sept. 7 at 12:30 PM. At that time each instructor will be able to assign students according to their preferences for sections. The office staff will upload the section assignments to the Online Course System (OCS) and students will be able to see their section on their course registration sheet.

  3. Where’s the Syllabus ? https://classesv2.yale.edu/portal/

  4. What does Chemistry concern with ? Chemistry is the foundation of all molecular sciences Chemistry provides understanding, prediction and control of the nature and behavior of matter Chemistry is practical and profoundly philosophical HOW CAN SUBSTANCES BE MADE ? HOW DOES MATTER REACT ?! WHAT MATTER IS ?!!

  5. Chemistry & Matter • Chemistry explores the MACROSCOPIC world — what we can see — • to understand the PARTICULATE world we cannot see. EXPERIMENTS provide insights into these worlds beyond what our eyes can actually see!! Chem 113 students are strongly encourage to take the lab Chem 116L

  6. Chemistry 116L Fall 2007 Register in Chem 116L online through the OCS Placement list will be available online on September 7. Purchase a copy of the lab manual from TYCO (corner of Elm & Broadway), and study the first ten pages. Next week we have orientation and Ex. 1. at 1 pm (for both the 12 noon and 1 pm sections). Everyone should try to attend the orientation on the day they are placed in Chemistry 116L. Wear shoes ! Any questions? Need additional info? Email Dr. G: narasimhan.ganapathi@yale.edu

  7. A Chemist’s View: Exp. I Macroscopic Symbolic Particulate 2 H2(g) + O2 (g) --> 2 H2O(g)

  8. Chemical Properties and Chemical Change • Burning hydrogen (H2) in oxygen (O2) gives H2O. • Chemical change or chemical reaction — transformation of one or more atoms or molecules into one or more different molecules.

  9. Scientific Method • (1) OBSERVE AND QUESTION about some aspect of the world. • (2) POSTULATE a tentative explanation (HYPOTHESIS) and make predictions. • (3) TEST those predictions against observations of reproducible events. • (4) REPEAT steps 2 and 3 until there are no more discrepancies between predictions and observations. When consistency is obtained, hypotheses become a theory (i.e., a coherent set of propositions that explain a wide class of phenomena.

  10. Types of Observations and Measurements • We make QUALITATIVE observations of reactions — changes in color and physical state. • We also make QUANTITATIVE MEASUREMENTS, which involve numbers. • Use SI units — based on the metric system

  11. UNITS OF MEASUREMENT Use SI units — based on the metric system Length Mass Time Temperature Meter, m Kilogram, kg Seconds, s Celsius degrees, ˚C kelvins, K

  12. O—H distance = 9.4 x 10-11 m 9.4 x 10-9 cm 0.094 nm 0.940 A Units of Length • 1 kilometer (km) = ? meters (m) • 1 meter (m) = ? centimeters (cm) • 1 centimeter (cm) = ? millimeter (mm) • 1 nanometer (nm) = 1.0 x 10-9 meter • 1 angstrom (A) = 1.0 x 10-10 meter o o

  13. Anders Celsius 1701-1744 Lord Kelvin (William Thomson) 1824-1907 Temperature Scales • Fahrenheit • Celsius • Kelvin

  14. Temperature Scales Fahrenheit Celsius Kelvin 100 ˚C 373 K 212 ˚F Boiling point of water 100 K 180˚F 100˚C Freezing point of water 0˚C 273 K 32˚F Notice that 1 K degree = 1 degree Celsius

  15. Temperature Scales 100 oF = 38 oC = 311 K 32 oF = 0 oC = 273 K Conversion Factor: 100 oC degrees per 180 oF degrees oF K oC 38 oC = (100 oF – 32 oF) * 100 oC / 180 oF 311 K = 273 K + 38 oC * 100 K / 100 oC

  16. Calculations Using Temperature • Generally require temp’s in kelvins • T (K) = t (˚C) + 273.15 • Body temp = 37 ˚C + 273 = 310 K • Liquid nitrogen = -196 ˚C + 273 = 77 K

  17. sodium Physical Properties What are some physical properties? • color • melting and boiling point • odor salt Physical properties characterize the identity of pure substances

  18. Physical Changes Some physical changes would be • boiling of a liquid • melting of a solid • dissolving a solid in a liquid to give a homogeneous mixture — a SOLUTION. Physical changes do not change the identity of Pure Substances

  19. Platinum Mercury Aluminum Physical properties, cont’d DENSITY - an important and useful physical property 13.6 g/cm3 21.5 g/cm3 2.7 g/cm3

  20. Problem A piece of copper has a mass of 57.54 g. It is 9.36 cm long, 7.23 cm wide, and 0.95 mm thick. Calculate density (g/cm3). mass ( g ) = Density 3 volume ( cm )

  21. Strategy 1. Get dimensions in common units. 2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters. 3. Calculate the density.

  22. Conversion factor SOLUTION 1. Get dimensions in common units. 2. Calculate volume in cubic centimeters. 3. Calculate the density. (9.36 cm)(7.23 cm)(0.095 cm) = 6.4 cm3 Note only 2 significant figures in the answer! Significant Figures ??!!! # of digits, starting from the left, with the first digit different from zero. (‘Trailing’ zeros don’t count)

  23. Significant Figures 57.54 g 4 significant figures 7.23 cm 3 significant figures 0.95 mm 2 significant figures 0.095 cm 2 significant figures (zeros to the left of 9 simply locate the decimal point) 600. g 3 significant figure 8000 kg 1 significant figure 100 cm/m infinte number of significant figures (defined quantity)

  24. INVERSE PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg in grams? In pounds? Solve the problem using DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS.

  25. PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg? First, note that 1 cm3 = 1 mL Strategy 1. Use density to calc. mass (g) from volume. 2. Convert mass (g) to mass (lb) Need to know conversion factor = 454 g / 1 lb

  26. Inverse Problems PROBLEM: Mercury (Hg) has a density of 13.6 g/cm3. What is the mass of 95 mL of Hg? 1. Convert volume to mass 2. Convert mass (g) to mass (lb)
