Intro to Chemistry How does it relate to your world
Things to think about… � How life? � Of many ways does chemistry apply to your those ways, which holds the most merit? � Why do I need to know chemistry?
What is Chemistry? � The study of the composition of matter and the changes that matter undergoes � Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space � Affects ALL aspects of life and most natural events
Areas of Study � Organic – study of all chemicals containing Carbon � Inorganic – study of all chemicals not containing Carbon � Biochemistry – study of the processes that take place in organisms � Analytical – study that focuses on the composition of matter � Physical – study that deals with the mechanism, the rate, and the energy transfer that occurs when matter undergoes change
Organic Chemistry ALCOHOL ETHER BENZENE
Inorganic Chemistry • Ca. CO 3 � Calcite • Calcium Carbonate � Halite • Sodium Chloride • Na. Cl • Silicon Oxide • Si. O 2 � Quartz
Biochemistry � Plants!
Analytical Chemistry
Physical Chemistry
Pure v. Applied � Pure chemistry – research for research’s sake � Nylon � Applied � Aspirin chemistry – research for a purpose
Purpose � Answers why we are doing the experiment
Research � Research is needed to gain information on the purpose of the experiment � This information will be used to form a hypothesis
Hypothesis � Means educated guess � This is a proposed answer to the problem developed in the purpose
Experiment � An experiment tests your hypothesis � The experiment will contain different variables � Independent Variable – Variable that is changed � Dependent variable – measured based on the changes of the independent variable � Control – used as a comparison to measure results
Data � Always record data in a clear, understandable way � Use charts and graphs to show data whenever possible
Analysis and Conclusion � Analysis is the collection of data from the experiment which should suggest a result � The conclusions states the result of the experiment and whether or not the hypothesis was correct or incorrect
Define the Variables for the Ants � Independent � Dependent � Variable = Length of their legs Variable = Control = Number of steps taken Regular Ant
Talk it out… � How would I find the best basketball shoe? � How would I know the best type of grass for an athletic field? � How would I know which detergent cleans clothes the best?
Qualitative v. Quantitative � Qualitative = qualities, properties, or descriptions � Quantitative calculations � Give = numbers, measurements, or me two examples of each
Accuracy v. Precision � Accuracy – a measure of how close a measurement gets to the apparent or true value of whatever is measured � Precision – a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another

Practice � mm � mg � cm � km � Gg � Mm � ng � m. L � k. L • • • millimeters milligrams centimeters kilometers Gigagrams Megameters Nanograms Milliliters kiloliters
The Estimated Digit � In chemistry we will measure materials to an estimated digit � An estimated digit is a magnitude smaller than the tool we are measuring with � We can only go one magnitude because we want to be as accurate as possible
Practice � 3. 2 cm � 2. 35 cm � 36. 3 m. L
Scientific Notation � Written as the product of two numbers: a coefficient and 10 raised to a power � Therefore: 602, 000, 000, 000 � Equals: 6. 02 x 1023 � Or: 0. 00000775 � Equals: 7. 75 x 10 -10
Significant Figures � Includes all the digits that are known PLUS a last digit that is estimated when measuring � Calculations figures!!! � Significant are based on significant figures are based on a set of rules
Significant Figure Rules 1. 2. 3. 4. Every nonzero digit in a reported measurement is assumed to be significant Zeros appearing between nonzero digits are significant Left most zeros appearing in front of nonzero digits are not significant Zeros at the end of a number and to the right of a decimal point are ALWAYS significant
Significant Figure Rules 5. Zeros at the right most end of a measurement that lie to the left of an understood decimal point are not significant if they serve as place holders to show the magnitude of the number, if zeros are at the right of a decimal point, they are significant 6. Exact quantities have an unlimited amount of significant figures
Starting Number Does number have a decimal? NO Is number counted? YES Infinite sig figs S YE NO Are zeroes YES All digits except leading at the front? Are there zeroes trailing? zeroes O N YES All digits except trailers NO All numbers are sig figs
Examples / Practice � 123 m � 9. 8000 x 104 m � 0. 07080 m � 40506 mm � 22 meter sticks � 98000 m � 3 (Rule 1) � 5 (Rule 4) � 4 (Rule 2, 3, 4) � 5 (Rule 2) � Unlimited (Rule 6) � 2 (Rule 5)
On Your Own! � 0. 05730 m � 4 � 143 � 0. 00073 � 8. 750 x 10 -2 m � � 8765 m 40. 007 m 0. 074 m 1. 072 m � 2 � 4 � 5 � 2 � 4
Adding and Subtracting � The answer to an addition or subtraction calculation should be rounded to the same number of decimal places (not including sig figs) as the measurement with the least number of decimal places � Ex. 12. 52 m + 349. 0 m + 8. 24 m = 369. 76 � Therefore: 369. 76 369. 8
Practice � 8. 3 m + 2. 22 m � 8432 m - 12. 5 m � 35. 2 sec + 2547 sec � 52 m – 0. 0042 m � 2. 4526 m + 8. 4 m � 2. 10 m - 0. 070 m � 1780 m + 0. 08 m � 53. 6 g - 0. 00056 g � 10. 5 m � 8420 m � 2582 sec � 52 m � 10. 9 m � 2. 03 m � 1780 m � 53. 6 g
Multiplying and Dividing � Round the answer to the same number of sig figs as the measurement with the least amount of sig figs � Ex. 7. 55 m x 0. 34 m = 2. 567 m 2 � Therefore: 2. 567 m 2 2. 6 m 2
Practice � 8. 3 m x 2. 22 m � 8432 m / 12. 5 � 35. 2 sec x 2547 � 0. 0042 m x 52 m � 2. 4526 m / 8. 4 � 2. 10 m x 0. 070 m � 1780 m / 0. 08 � 53. 6 g / 0. 00056 � 18 m 2 � 675 m � 89700 �. 22 m 2 sec �. 29 �. 15 m 2 � 20000 m or 2 x 104 m � 96000 m or 9. 6 x 104 m
Conversions � Units can be converted from one to another using a conversion factor or a simple equation � Chemistry using conversions for mass, volume, and parts
