Graphing Variables Slope = rise/run Slope = mass/volume Slope = density We don’t graph just to graph; the graph and the data tells us something meaningful.

Line of Best Fit Real data never (almost never) falls exactly on the line! The line is an “average” Once you know the line of best fit, you can use it to predict other values. The line represents the data.

We never “connect the dots” in a graph. Don’t connect the dots. The line of best fit doesn’t have to go through ANY of the data points. However, some points might be exactly on the line. Ideally the points above the line = the points below the line

y = mx + b To graph without your calculator, you need 2 points to define a line. To graph without your calculator, you need 2 points to define a line. Use the y-intercept for the first point (x = 0 when y = b) Use the y-intercept for the first point (x = 0 when y = b) Set y = 0 to find the second point (x = − b/m when y = 0). Set y = 0 to find the second point (x = − b/m when y = 0). Use a RULER to draw your lines! Use a RULER to draw your lines!

Directly Proportional Directly proportional means that as one goes up, the other goes up too. Directly proportional means that as one goes up, the other goes up too. For matter, kinetic energy (KE) is directly proportional to Kelvin temperature (K) For matter, kinetic energy (KE) is directly proportional to Kelvin temperature (K) If you graph these variables, you will get a straight line with a POSITIVE slope. If you graph these variables, you will get a straight line with a POSITIVE slope.

Inversely Proportional Inversely proportional means that as one goes up, the other goes down (and vice versa). Inversely proportional means that as one goes up, the other goes down (and vice versa).

Phase Diagram for H 2 O A phase is a “state” of matter. Solid phase Liquid phase Gas phase We don’t “do” plasma. Critical Point Triple Point

Phase Diagram The triple point is the only point on the graph where all 3 phases are at equilibrium. The critical point is the END of the graph. Critical Point Triple Point

Phase Diagram The lines show the pressure/temperature points where the phase changes from one to the other. When P = 1 atm, you can read the MP and BP right off the graph. Boiling Point Melting Point

Heating Curve for H 2 O Solid between A&B, liquid between C&D, gas between E&F

Heating Curve for H 2 O Melts between B & C Boils between D & E Why doesn’t the temp rise when water is melting?

Radioactive Decay After 1 half life, 50% remains. After 2 half lives, 25% remains. HALF of whatever is left decays during each half life.

Rxn Progress Rxn Progress The reaction is exothermic (products have less energy than reactants). Enzyme = biological catalyst. Rxn = abbreviation for reaction

Rxn Progress This reaction is endothermic. Products are higher than reactants (have more potential energy).
