Chem II
Poly Policy Dress code violations, which cannot be rectified, are to be sent directly to the GLA
Poly Policy Electronic devices, other than calculators, are to be confiscated & sent directly to the GLA
Poly Policy Electronic devices that have been confiscated will only be returned to a guardian.
Chemistry II information will be presented by Power Point Presentation.
All of the Power Point Presentation for this course are attached to the HW section of Poly’s website under the name Chemistry II Power Points.
To be successful in chemistry, you must be competent in algebra.
Solve for Y AB XY = CDE
Scientific Method
A systematic method for performing research
Scientific Method Observing Hypothesizing Experimenting Analyzing
Hypothesis
An educated guess
Variables
Anything that changes or can be changed in an experiment
Independent Variable
The variable that is changed by the person doing the experiment
Dependent Variable
A variable that changes due the effects of the independent variable being changed
Scientific Law
Any fact that has been proven beyond any doubt
Scientific Theory
An idea that is supported by much scientific data and is accepted by the scientific community as correct, but cannot be proven
Problem Solving
What do you have? Identify what’s given List the variables
What do you want? Identify what’s being asked for Identify the problem
How do you get it? Identify a formula or an algorithm that can be used to solve the problem
Chemistry The study of matter
Matter Anything that: takes up space has mass has inertia
Mass The measure of the amount of matter
Types of Matter Pure: one kind of substance Mixture: 2 or more substances
Substance A specific type of matter
Pure Substances Elements Compounds
Element Any pure substance that contains only one kind of atom
Compound A pure substance made up of 2 or more elements chemically combined
Mixture A Physical blend of substances
Mixture Each part retains its properties
Mixture Mixtures can be separated by physical means
Mixtures Heterogeneous Homogenous
Heterogeneous Mixture Made up of multiple phases Non-uniform
Phase Any physically separate part of a substance
Interface Where two phases come together
Homogeneous Mixture Made up of only one phase Uniform throughout
Solution Homogeneous mixture
Solute Any of the lesser portions of a solution What has been dissolved
Solvent The larger portion of a solution What is doing the dissolving
Separating Mixtures Filtration Distillation Precipitation Chromatography
Filtration Separation by size Passing through pores
Distillation Separation by differences in B.P. Boil & collect
Precipitation Separation by differences in solubility Allow solutions to ppt
Chromatography Separation through charge or polarity differences Separating ink on paper
Classify each of the following as: Pure: element or compound Mixture: hetero. or homo
Air, water, mud, the sea, aluminum, orange juice, brass, gold
List and describe all types of pure substances
List and describe all types of mixtures
