Experimentation Scientific method: • Problem – ask question • Observations • Hypothesis – educated guess; improves with experience and prior knowledge • Experiment – tests hypothesis • MUST be repeatable; reliability, error • Steps called procedure; avoid bias • MUST consider all control variables (factors that could affect the outcome of experiment) when designing; makes results more valid • Affected by accuracy and precision
Precision and Accuracy Precision: • How close measurements are to each other • Increases with better measuring equipment • Higher resolution (smaller intervals) is better • Example: graduated cylinder is better than a beaker, buret is better than a grad cyl
Precision and Accuracy… Accuracy: • How close the measurement is to the true value • Affected by calibration • 2 ways to look at improvement • Practice to improve with SAME instrument • Choose more precise instrument and automatically improves • Measurements should be both accurate and precise
Scientific Method Last two steps: Analysis: • Organize, evaluate, make inferences, and predict trends from data Conclusion: • Based on analysis of data and comparison to hypothesis Theory??? Still not a fact, theories may change over time
Opinion and Fact Opinion: companies make advertisements are NOT fact; intended to persuade you Fact: government studies and scientific research done by consumer magazines are usually more factual; no financial incentive to deceive you so more objective
Safety Goggles to protect against liquid splashes and vapors Add acid to water NEVER smell or taste without permission
Chemistry Periodic table: Locate • Metals – to the left of the stairstep • Nonmetals – to the right of the stairstep • Metalloids – along the stairstep • Group vertical column • Period – horizontal row
Chemistry – Periodic Trends Number of valence electrons increases with increasing group number Number of energy levels increases with increasing period number Noble gases – Group 18; don’t form compounds; very stable; already have filled outer energy levels (octet)
Chemistry – Classification of Matter Atom – smallest unit of a molecule or compound Molecule – smallest unit of a substance Element – made up of identical atoms; each element is identified by the # of protons Compound – • Combination of two or more elements in an exact whole number ratio • Can only be separated chemically (break bonds)
Classification of Matter… Mixture – • Combination of 2 or more compounds; no specific ratio • Can separate using physical means like sorting or filtering • Heterogeneous – unevenly mixed; can usually see the different substances • Homogeneous – evenly mixed; called a solution (can be a combination of any of the states of matter)
Classification of Matter… Physical change – • Same compound, just appears different; change of state, size, shape, mixture… • Done by physical means; force, average kinetic energy • Retains same chemical properties like boiling point, solubility, conductivity…
Classification of Matter… Chemical change – • Different substance due to chemical reaction; rusting, fading, burning, cooking, digestion, respiration, photosynthesis • Done by chemical reactions involving energy transformations • Need activation energy to get started; from sun, ATP, another chemical reaction, heat source… • Gains new chemical property “signature” • Evidence – color change, odor, formation of a gas or precipitate
Classification of Matter… Matter – particles; anything that has mass or takes up space Mass – amount of matter an object has Volume – amount of space an object takes up Density – relates the object’s mass to its volume • Density effects many physical properties such as: • Viscosity – how easily a fluid flows • Buoyancy – how much upward force a fluid has or how much buoyant force is needed to make a solid float
Types of Chemical Bonds • Metallic – 2 or more of the same metal • Ionic – 1 metal and 1 nonmetal; metal atom gives away 1 or more electrons, nonmetal takes them; forms charged ions that are then attracted to each other to make a compound • Covalent – 2 or more different nonmetals; share electrons to make compound • Diatomic – exactly 2 of the same nonmetal
Types of Chemical Bonds… Polyatomic ion – 2 or more covalently bonded atoms that behave as a single unit to form ionic bonds with metals
Naming Ionic Compounds • Ignore subscripts and coefficents • Write full name of first element or polyatomic ion in compound include roman numerals if needed • Write the first syllable of second element plus –ide OR the full name of polyatomic ion
Naming Covalent Compounds • Use subscripts to determine prefix • Don’t use mono- if there is only one of the first element • Add –ide at the end
Writing Formulas • Write chemical symbol for first element or polyatomic ion in name • Write chemical symbol of second element or polyatomic ion • Write the oxidation number of each element or ion above the symbol (charge) and crisscross to use as subscripts • If they aren’t the lowest whole number ratio reduce
Writing Formulas… • For covalent compounds just write the subscripts from the prefixes
Balancing Equations • Purpose – to follow the law of conservation of mass • Reactants – compound on the left side of the equation • Products – compounds on the right side of the equation • Compare the number of each element on the left side of the equation to the right side • Use coefficents to make equal • If an element show up in 2 or more compounds on the same side of the equation, balance it last! Usually oxygen or hydrogen • Check for simplest ratio
Types of Reactions Based on chemical bonds • Synthesis: A + B AB • Decomposition: AB A + B • Single displacement: A + CD C + AD • Double displacement: AB + CD CB + AD • Combustion: CxHy + O2 CO2 + H2O
Types of Reactions… Based on energy • Exothermic: need less energy to make reaction happen than it gives off when reaction is complete – Example: explosions, hot packs, glow sticks, burning • Endothermic: need more energy to make reaction happen than it gives off when reaction is complete – Example: cold packs
Solutions • Solvent – substance that does the dissolving (water) • Solute – substance that gets dissolved (sugar) • “Like dissolves Like” • Polar solvent can dissolve ionic and polar solutes (ions); water is the universal solvent • Nonpolar solvent can only dissolve nonpolar solutes
Solutions… • Solubility • How MUCH of a substance will dissolve in a certain amount of solvent and at a certain temperature • Increase temperature, increase solubility for most substances except gases
Solutions… • Factors affecting the rate of solubility solids • Increase surface area (crushing) • Increase temperature (usually) • Agitation (stir) • Factors affecting rate of solubility gases • Decrease temperature • Increase pressure • Dissolving is a physical change
Acids and Bases • pH < 7 acid (lower the pH the stronger the acid) • pH = neutral • pH > 7 base (higher the pH the stronger the base)
