Welcome to class.My name is Charlie Arbuiso and I will be your chemistry teacher.

Copy the objective, and get ready to learn… Put the other papers away now.

1. Print the Objective: The synthesis of dihydrogen monoxide

Since it’s a chemistry class, let’s examine what we are dealing with…

2. dihydrogen monoxide =

3. Its formula is written as ____________________

4. ____ is the symbol for ________________________

5. ____ is the symbol for _________________________

6. The Word equation for this reaction is:

______________ and ________________ yields _________________________

7. The Skeleton equation (proper chemistry symbols, but not balanced yet):

_______ + _______ __________________

Since it’s a chemistry class, let’s examine what we are dealing with…

2. dihydrogen monoxide = 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom

3. Its formula is written as H2O (note the “2” is a subscript!)

4. H is the symbol for Hydrogen

5. Ois the symbol for oxygen

6. HYDROGEN and OXYGEN yields DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE (WATER)

7. The Skeleton equation (proper chemistry symbols, but not balanced yet):

H + O H2O

Something that you didn’t know, and couldn’t know is that both hydrogen and oxygen are atoms that are not happy being single. They exist in nature in the pure form only as paired partners, like H2 and O2. Seven atoms are like this. You’ll learn them.

So let’s fix this symbol equation to a skeleton equation:

8. H + O H2OMath counts. Keeping track of atoms counts. This equation is not “balanced”. Not balanced means BAD. We need to fix that.

(you should not be able to do this, so don’t sweat, just copy for now)

9. H2 + O2 H2OThis is called a balanced chemical equation, the same amount of atoms on the start side of the reaction, and at the end.

10. copy this : (4 H atoms + 2 O atoms form into the same 4 H’s + 2 O’s but they are combined differently – that’s chemistry!)

8. H2 + O2 H2OMath counts. Keeping track of atoms counts. This equation is not “balanced”. Not balanced means BAD. We need to fix that.

(you should not be able to do this, so don’t sweat, just copy for now)

9. 2H2 + O2 2H2OThis is called a balanced chemical equation, the same amount of atoms on the start side of the reaction, and at the end.

10. copy this : (4 H atoms + 2 O atoms form into the same 4 H’s + 2 O’s but they are combined differently – that’s chemistry!)

Now we need to add phase symbols, there are three phases of matter in our course.

11. What are phase symbols? ________________

12. Rewrite this balanced equation with phase symbols now.

2H2 + O2 2H2O

H2 gas + O2 gas in the

air

Now we need to add phase symbols, there are three phases of matter in our course.

11. What are phase symbols? They tell if the matter is solid, liquid or gas (there’s a few more, but not today, okay?)

12. Rewrite this balanced equation with phase symbols now.

2H2(G) + O2(G) 2H2O(G)

H2 gas + O2 gas in the

air

#13

This will be a fun, memorable chemical reaction.

14. It’s called the synthesis of dihydrogen monoxide, or wata.

It will happen very fast, and will release lots of energy. Lots.

So much I have to teach you safety now, before we can continue.

You will not get hurt, but it is rather loud.

BANG! 15. What do we call a chemical reaction that gives off or emits energy?

This will be a fun, memorable chemical reaction.

So much I have to teach you safety now, before we can continue.

You will not get hurt, but it is rather loud.

BANG! 15. What do we call a chemical reaction that gives off or emits energy? EXOTHERMIC

16. Let’s write out the fully balanced thermochemical reaction…

2H2(G) + O2(G) 2H2O(G) + energy

17 (copy this) The synthesis of water is exothermic. Hydrogen and oxygen are elements. Water is a compound. Chemistry is the study of matter and how matter acts and reacts.

Homework:1. Read the handout for the course 2. Fill in the student data form, with parents3. Bring back the student data form, filled in, and with your parent’s signature

4. Get a loose-leaf binder and some paper. NO SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS for chemistry.

5. Tell your family about making wata and how much you will love this class.

Measurement Class 1

OBJECTIVE: To learn to distinguish between qualitative and quantitative measures, and between error and percent error; finally, to calculate percent error.

Paper is cheap. Knowledge is valuable.

Let’s have some fun, guess my weight.

Measure my mass, using your eyes and mind as your tools.

In science we measure (and estimate) all the time.

18. Write your answer down.

What were your guesses? Fast and loud.

Your eye “measurements” in pounds

19. On the bathroom scale, what is the ACTUAL mass of your teacher in pounds? ______

20. Measurements that are close to the correct weight are called ______________

21. Measurements that are close together (close to correct or not) are called: ____________

22. In our class we will measure our best to be _______________________

What were your guesses? Fast and loud.

Your eye “measurements” in pounds

19. On the bathroom scale, what is the ACTUAL mass of your teacher in pounds?

20. Measurements that are close to the correct weight are called ACCURATE

21. Measurements that are close together (close to correct or not) are called: PRECISE

22. In our class we will measure our best to be both ACCURATE + PRECISE

Accurate measurements are close to the actual or correct measure.

Precise measurements are close together.

23. If your measures are precise, your tool is ______________

Precise and accurate together is great.

Precise alone means that your tool is good.

24. Measurements that are not precise means that your ________________________________________ working well.

Accurate measurements are close to the actual or correct measure.

Precise measurements are close together.

23. If your measures are precise, your tool is CONSISTENT

Precise and accurate together is great.

Precise alone means that your tool is good.

24. Measurements that are not precise means that your

tool (or you) are not working well.

25. Qualitative measures: use only words

26. Quantitative measures use numbers with units In chem we will sometimes use qualitative measures, but sometimes quantitative ones.

Examples:

27. Quantitative measure:

Mr. Arbuiso is ___________________

28. Qualitative measure:

Mr. Arbuiso is ____________________

29. Error

How far away your measure is from accurate.

What was your “error” in measuring the mass of the teacher?

_______________________________________________________________________

It’s always a positive number (no need for a sign)

30. Error is the difference between your measure and the actual measure

Error = |Measured value – Actual value| (those lines indicate absolute value)

31. Percent Error is much more important in our class.

Percent error is how far off you were from your measured value to the actual value expressed as a percentage, with the +/- sign to indicate if you were over or under in your measuring.

32. Formula:

% Error = Measured value – actual valueactual value

X 100%

or

%E = MV – AVAV X 100% Calculate the

% Error now.

What is your % Error?Let’s talk about your answers now.

33. Quick, measure with your eyes, how many inches it is to the top of the door. Write your measurement down.

The actual height is _________”.

Do your Error and %E NOW.

Write the formulas!

%E = MV – AVAV X 100%

Error = |Measured value – Actual value|

34. Standard Units in our class are:

Length: METER, also millimeter, centimeter

Volume: LITER and MILLILITER

Mass: GRAM, and kilogram and milligram

Density: GRAMS/CENTIMETER CUBED or GRAMS PER MILLILETER

Temperature: KELVIN and CENTIGRADE (AKA celcius)

Time: SECONDS

Hand in your student data form now. Put everything, EVERYTHING, into the inbox.Do not hand me stuff - put it into the inbox (unless it is money or chocolate chip cookies)

Measurement Class 2

35. OB: To determine what density is and how it’s measured; what are

the two temperature scales in chemistry and how to convert one to another.

Some background info…

36. MASS: The amount of “stuff” in something

37. VOLUME: The amount of space stuff takes up

38. WEIGHT: The affect of GRAVITY on a mass

39. Mass is a ______________________________

40. Weight ___________ depending upon __________________

41. Density is the mathematical relationship between _____ + ______

42. The formula you to learn is:

Some background info…

MASS: The amount of “stuff” in something

VOLUME: The amount of space stuff takes up

WEIGHT: The affect of GRAVITY on a mass

Mass is a CONSTANT

Weight VARIES depending upon STRENGTH OF GRAVITY (what planet you’re on)

Density is the mathematical relationship between MASS + VOLUME

The formula to learn is: D = mV

Units for density are most often:

43. __________________________ _________

or

44. __________________________ _________

45. __________= _____________ 46. There is NO SUCH THING as an ______

If you don’t GET That, RAISE YOUR HAND AND ASK!

Units for density are most often:

43. grams/centimeter cubed g/cm3

or

44. grams/milliliter g/mL

45. 1 cm3 = 1 mL, 46. There is NO SUCH THING as an mL3

If you don’t GET That, RAISE YOUR HAND AND ASK!

47. A cube or metal has a mass of 4506 grams and it is 10.0 cm per side. (V = s x s x s)Calculate the density of this metal.(you must, must write the formula for each problem!)

47. A cube or metal has a mass of 4506 grams and it is 10.0 cm per side. (V = s x s x s)Calculate the density of this metal.(you must, must write the formula for each problem!)

D = mV = 4506 g

1000 cm3

D = 4.506 g/cm3

48. What metal is it? (how could you know this?)

You could have memorized the density tables from a chem book, or you could just look it up!

It’s titanium, Ti.

49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14.5 grams. Their total volume is 1.75 cm3. Calculate the density of the pennies.

49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14.5 grams. Their total volume is 1.75 cm3. Calculate the density of the pennies.

D = mV = 14.5 g

1.75 cm3

D = 8.29 g/cm3

50. Assuming the pennies are made up of pure copper, what is your % Error?

%E = -7.48% 3SF

8.29 – 8.96 g/cm3

8.96 g/cm3

51. Is your measured value for density UNDER or OVER the actual measurement for the density of copper? How would you KNOW?

51. Is your measured value for density UNDER or OVER the actual measurement for the density of copper? How would you KNOW?

A Negative percent error means YOUR measure is under the actual measurement.

-7.48% means it was close, (~ 8%) but it was not perfect.

It’s like getting about a 92% correct on a quiz.

52. A bar of metal is 27.73 g and has volume of 4.70 cm3. Is it gold?

52. A bar of metal is 27.73 g and has volume of 4.70 cm3. Is it gold?

= 27.73 g4.70 cm3D = m

VD = 5.90 g.cm3 (3SF!)

Is that the density of gold?Check NOW! No guessing.

NOT DEGREES, it’s just Kelvins!

3 SF!

Measurement Class 3

58. OB: defining and understanding significant figures in measuring and in math equations.

Handout: The Significance of Significant Figures.

Significant figures are the numbers in our math that are important enough to count. They have real, or significant, value to the measurement.

We will measure so many things in chemistry, and we’ll use so many formulas, we need to learn how to deal with the numbers. The rules to significant figures is how we’ll do so.

Officially, significant figures is defined this way:59. In a measurement, all numbers you know that you measured properly, plus one more estimated place, are significant.

You want to be sure that your measurements are as correct as possible. You never want to round away how exact you can be. You also are not permitted to be magically more exact than your tool will let you.

For instance, 6 grams is not really the same as 6.0 grams, or 6.00 grams, or 6.000 grams.

The are all measured to different levels of exactness.

If we are going to measure the temperature in this room right now, with our centigrade thermometer, let’s look at the tool now. 60. What temperature is it?

This tool indicates temperature in degrees centigrade. Whole degrees.

With tools that we read with our eyes, like a thermometer, or a ruler, we measure to the closest measure, then estimate out ONE more place. Our eyes can estimate one place, but not two or three more decimal points.

You can’t be “more accurate” than your tool let’s you. You should never give up how exact you can be, (don’t just say it’s 20 degrees centigrade, estimate to the tenth of a degree.

61. ____________________________

Let’s look over these rules on the back of this handout and see if we can’t figure out what this is all about.

For any measures:Rule 1. Any digit 1-9 is going to be significant

(it’s important and we need to keep track of how many SF we have).62. How many significant figures in these temperatures? Which is most/least exact?

23°C 23.1°C 23.39°C

For any measures:1. Any digit 1-9 is going to be significant (it’s important and we need to keep track of how many SF we have).

62. How many significant figures in these temperatures? Which is most/least exact?

2 SF 3 SF 4 SFLeast exact Most exact

RULE 2. If there’s a ZERO digit between significant figures, that is significant too.

(it’s not just a placeholder)

63. How many SF are in these measures?

101 grams 4509 joules 20,445,567 kilocalories

110 grams 4590 joules 21,445, 567 kilocalories

20,456,056 seconds

Rule 3. Zeros before SF are not significant (they are placeholders)

64. How many SF in these measures?

0.0054 kilograms _________

Rule 4. Zeros with a decimal point or without a decimal point

(the dot counts!)

150 grams has a zero at the end, and this means we are SURE of 1 one hundred, and 5 tens of grams, but not too sure of the rest. This means it has 2 SF

If the measure is 150. grams, that’s different.We are now sure of all three digits. 3 SF

65. What about these measures, how many sig figs?

250 atm _____ 340. grams ______

RULE 5. Zeros at the end of a decimal number are significant, these ARE NOT PLACEHOLDERS, but indicate you measured to that decimal place and found it to contain NO digits.

66. How many SF in these 4 measures?

1.50 grams _______ 2.0 seconds _______

98,754,123.00 g _______

0.0040 days _______

RULE 5. Zeros at the end of a decimal number are significant, these ARE NOT PLACEHOLDERS, but indicate you measured to that decimal place and found it to contain NO digits.

66. How many SF in these 4 measures?

1.50 grams 3 SF 2.0 seconds 2 SF

98,754,123.00 g 10 SF

0.0040 days 2 SF

RULE 6 - Unlimited Significant Figures Unlimited SF will be important whenever we use EQUALITIES, especially when converting from one unit to another.

67. For example, if we measured 1.5 pounds of butter

and needed to convert it to grams, we’d use this EQUALITY or conversion factor: 1 pound = 454 grams

The calculator answer would be 681 g. This is NOT correct. Our equality has UNLIMITED SF, but our original measure does not, it has 2 SF. Our answer is limited to the LEAST amount of SF in the math.

That’s because

1 pound = 454 grams

Means

1.0 pounds = 454.0 grams

Or

68. 1.00000… pounds = 454.000000… grams

(to the nth degree)That last zero on the end would be

significant, and all the zeros in between would be too, so equalities never “limit” SF.

69. (copy all) In a math equations, the answers must not gain or lose SF. You can’t get MORE EXACT because you multiply or divide, nor should you round away how well you have measured.

70. If you measure your room to be 7.7 meters X 5.4 m, you’ll need a rug of 41.58 m2

Not really.

If you only measure to 2 SF because that’s the limit of your tool, your answer can only have 2 SF. Round the 41.58 m2 to 42 m2 to be correct.

Last rule…

When using scientific notation, only the front part (the coefficient) has SF.

71. How many SF in this measure?

6.02 x 1023 atoms has ___________ SF

Last rule…

When using scientific notation, only the front part (the coefficient) has SF.

71. How many SF n this measure?

6.02 x 1023 atoms has

3 SF, just the 6.02 part counts

Measurement Class 4

75.OB: Learning the rules and operations of unit conversion math, AKA DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

In our lives, and in our studies, we will have to convert our math units from one form to another all the time.Each time you put on your two sneakers in the morning, or your pair of sneakers, you put on the same number of sneakers, but you think it, or say it differently.

76. 2 Sneakers = 1 pair of sneakers

Same thing, right?

No matter if you are playing 52-Pickup or watching a magician, you know that there are 52 cards in the deck of cards. A deck of cards has 52 cards.

77. A deck of cards EQUALS 52 cards.

If your brother ripped the ace of diamonds in half during a minor fit of insanity, you no longer have a deck of cards (although if he’s under eight years old he might not notice).

=

78. If I said how many cards are in 2 decks of cards, or how many shoes are in three pairs of shoes, could you tell me? (104 and 6)

To figure these problems out, you would probably just “do it in your head”, but in fact you are doing dimensional analysis computations.

3 pairs of shoes1 X 2 shoes

1 pair of shoes

= 6 shoesThis is how your “mind” converted from pairs to shoes in units.You didn’t even realize (probably) that 2 shoes = 1 pair of shoes is called an Equality, which can be changed into 2 different CONVERSION FACTORS.

• Conversion factors are used to convert one unit to another.

• All conversion factor numerators must = their denominators.

• They MUST have units top and bottom. MUST.

• They will always equal “1” - right side up or upside down.

Every equality can make 2 different conversion factors, and conversion factors equal 1.

Do you know of an equality with pounds & ounces? 1 pound = 16 ounces

81. Let’s convert your teacher’s mass (________ pounds) into ounces.

Do you know of an equality with pounds & ounces.

_____ ounces. WHOA! What about SF? How many SF in the math?

How many SF are supposed to be in the answer? What’s the real answer?

_____________ ounces has 2 SF, which is as close as we can measure.

Let’s try a few one step unit conversion problems in a row. Set it up correctly, with our “starting point” over 1, use units, cancel units, talk to each other and check to see if your neighbor has the same answer as you do.

82. Convert 1.2 kilograms into grams (1 kg = 1000 g).

83. Convert 56,750 mL into liters (l L = 1000 mL).

82. Convert 1.2 kilograms into grams (1 kg = 1000 g).

83. Convert 56,750 mL into liters (l L = 1000 mL).

1.2 kg1 X 1000 g

1 kg = 1200 g

56,750 mL1 X 1 L

1000 mL = 56.75 L

Starting point ◊ watch units ◊ watch SF ◊ BANG!

Multiple step unit conversions…You can sometimes get a problem that you can’t simply convert from one unit to another because you don’t know a conversion factor. But you know other ones, so you can go in steps.

84. Convert your age (you are 15.4 years old right now) into minutes.

How many minutes are in one year? There is an answer to that, and if you know it, you can make this a one step conversion problem.

Since you don’t let’s think.

All conversion factors must equal 1.If you multiply 15.4 x a conversion factor = 15.4

If you multiply 15.4 x a conversion factor x another one = 15.4

You can multiply any number by 1 as many times as you like, it’s ok.

Convert 15.4 years into minutes.

84. Convert 15.4 years into minutes.

Be sure to see how you started OVER 1, and ALL of the units cancel, and the last unit left (minutes) is the one that the answer needs to have!

Do the math, and consider your ANSWER’S SF BEFORE you multiply.

How many SF does your answer NEED to have?

8,094,240 min. with just 3 SF: 8,090,000 min.

85. Convert the 400. meter race into yards so the football players can easily compare that length to their field. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

86. I live in a make believe world (sometimes) and in my world there are special magical ways that will allow me to convert from unusual units to even more unusual units. Sometimes I bring silly problems back to Earth, just to help my students think abstractly. As long as you have equalities, you can make conversion factors. Ergo, you can convert units easily.

A YOWZA is what a student yells when she earns an all correct on her quiz.1 Yowza feels the same as 3.4 hoo-hoo’s1 hoo-hoo is the same as hollaring 8.2 ka-ching’s1 ka-ching is equal to 2.3 hmmmm’sIt takes 5.9 hmmmm’s to match up with 1.6 unh’s.

So, tell me quick! How many unh’s are the same as 7.00 Yowza’s?

(units are units, and they are there just to be crossed out)

Watch your starting point, and how many SF in your answer?

Measurement Class #5: Scientific Notation

Express the following as Scientific Notation:

88. 17,000,000,000 ants

89. 6,374,000 meters

90. 0.034 gram

91. 0.000 000 000 154 meters (the radius of a carbon atom

92. 0.000 008 m (the diameter of a human hair)

Express the following as Scientific Notation:

88. 17,000,000,000 ants 1.7 x 1010 ants

89. 6,374,000 meters 6.374 x 106 m

90. 0.034 gram 3.4 x 10-2 g

91. 0.000 000 000 154 meters (the radius of a carbon atom 1.54 x 10-10 m

92. 0.000 008 m (the diameter of a human hair) 8 x 10-6 m

93. Scientific notation rule: the coefficient shall always be more than one, less than ten

For example, THESE ARE ALL EQUIVLENT, BUT…

60,500 = 605 x 102

60,500 = 60.5 x 103

60,500 = 6.05 x 104

60,500 = 0.605 x 105

In dimensional analysis, the units are there just to be converted. They don’t “really” even matter. In fact, they can be made up, make believe. As long as you have equalities, you can convert from one unit to another, even if they are fake units.Using fake units is called abstract thinking. You need to be abstract now, not obtuse. OK?

Imagine you are working at a zoo. Different animals have different “values”, which are not real, but come into play when trading other zoos to get new cool animals. Think and get psyched for this one…

You wish you could get a new proboscis monkey for the empty cage at your zoo. You have an abundance of lemurs on hand and hope to trade them away. In a multi- zoo trade, you set it all up.

1 proboscis monkey = 14 zebras8 zebras = 1 giraffe2 giraffes = 1 elephant1 elephant = 27 penguins5 penguins = 1 lemur

115. If this is all true (it is, I promise), how many lemurs will it take to get one proboscis monkey? (don’t sweat SF)Round to the nearest whole lemur!
