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


Develop a theory



A summary of observed behavior
An explanation of behavior
Continue to experiment
Modify theory as needed
Important Terms

Matter


Mass



Amount of space an object occupies
Qualitative observations


Amount of matter in an object
The measure of the resistance of an object to a change
in its state of motion
Volume


Anything that has mass and volume
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.
Volume?
Fundamental Units
 Mass
 kg
 Length
m
 Time
s
 Temp
K
Fundamental Units
 Electric
current
 Amt of
substance
 Luminous
intensity
A
 mol
 cd
Prefixes Used in SI
system
 Kilo
 103
 deci
 10-1
 centi
 10-2
 milli
 10-3
Prefixes Used in SI
system
micro
-6
10
nano

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,
numbers
pi, counted
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
Number of Sig Figs?
1056
4
1000
1
100.0
4
.00350
3
Some Math…
 2.002
X 3.42 X 5 =
 703.2+34.223–21.45
 34.2
30
= 716.0
X 25.3 + 1.332 = 866
Play some darts…
Precision
Degree
of agreement
among several
measurements
Accuracy
Degree
of agreement
of a particular value
with the accepted
value
Error?? What error?
 Random
 Equal
low
error
chance of being high or
 Systematic
 Same
error
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



Characteristics that describe a substance
Characteristics that refer to the ability to form
new substances
Chemical Change

A change which produces new substances
Separation Techniques
 Distillation
 Filtration
