21. Wrap Up What is chemistry? Chemistry is the study of what substances are made of, how they behave, and how they can be transformed. It is the study of matter and how matter can be changed. A hypothesis is a testable explanation for an observation. Scientists use a systematic approach to solving problems in science.

22. Lesson 3: What’s the Matter? Defining Matter

23. Alchemy Lesson 3: What’s the Matter? ChemCatalyst Modern chemistry is defined as the study of matter. 1.What do you think matter is? 2.Name two things that are matter and two things that are not matter.

24. Key Question What is matter?

25. You will be able to: define matter classify an item as matter or not matter

26. Prepare for the Activity Work in groups.

27. MatterUnsureNot Matter

28. Discussion Notes The items that are clearly matter are all objects, or things, that are tangible. Energy and ideas are not matter, but they involve matter. Matter has some sort of dimension and substance to it.

29. Discussion Notes (cont.) A good definition should work 100% of the time. Here are some textbook definitions of matter: Matter is anything that has mass and volume. Volume = amount of space an object occupies Mass = amount of matter inside an object

30. Discussion Notes (cont.) Mass is different than weight: mass = amount of matter –Mass does not change based on position in universe Weight = affect of gravity on an object –Weight can change based on elevation on earth

31. Discussion Notes (cont.) Energy is the ability of a system to do work or supply heat. Energy is not matter because it does not have volume or mass.

32. Wrap Up What is matter? Matter is everything that has substance and takes up space, or that has mass and volume. Ideas and energy are examples of things that are not matter. Chemists study all kinds of matter.

33. Check-in Which of the following can be classified as matter? a. a beam of sunlightb. an automobile c. an idead. your breath e. rainf. sadness

34. Lesson 4: Mass Communication Mass and Volume

35. Alchemy Lesson 4: Mass Communication ChemCatalyst 1.Which has more mass and weighs more, 5 kilograms of bricks or 5 kilograms of feathers? Explain your thinking. 2.Would it hurt more to be hit with 5 pounds of feathers or 5 pounds of bricks? Explain your thinking.

36. Key Question How do you determine the masses and volumes of different substances?

37. You will be able to: measure mass using a balance measure the volume of regularly and irregularly shaped objects

38. Prepare for the Lab Work in groups of four.

39. Prepare for the Lab (cont.) Significant Figures (sig figs) = the numbers in a measurement that you know with certainty plus the first number that you estimate. Uncertainty in Measurement = Last estimated digit + 1 of last digit Ex: 6.90 mL + 0.01 mL Instruments that allow you to read more numbers are more precise. A graduated cylinder is more precise than a beaker.

40. Discussion Notes Neither mass nor volume alone can tell us how much matter is in an object. Volume is measured using geometry or water displacement. 1 mL = 1 cm 3 Graduated cylinders measure the volume of liquids. Mass is measured by weighing

41. Discussion Notes (cont.) SI Units of Measurement Standard units used by scientists worldwide Base Units = most common unit for measuring certain quantities QuantityBase Unit TimeSecond (s) LengthMeter (m) MassKilogram (kg) TemperatureKelvin (K)

42. Discussion Notes (cont.) Prefixes Used with SI Base Units Prefixes = modify base units to make measurements easier to report PrefixSymbolFactorScientific Notation Example kilok1,000 10 3 Kilometer (km) decid1/10 10 -1 Deciliter (dL) centic1/100 10 -2 Centimeter (cm) millim1/1000 10 -3 Milliliter (mL) microµ1/1,000,000 10 -6 Microgram (µg)

43. Examples 1. How many meters are in 2.5 km? 2. How many centimeters are in 3.7 meters? 3. Convert 4,500,000 to scientific notation. 4. Convert 5.67x10 -3 to regular notation.

44. Wrap Up How do you determine the masses and volumes of substances? Mass is a measure of the amount of substance. Mass can be measured using an electronic or triple beam balance. Volume is the amount of space occupied by an object. The volume of a liquid can be measured in a graduated cylinder. Objects with similar volumes can have different masses, and vice versa.

45. Check-in A penny has a mass of 2.498 g. a.What is the mass to the nearest tenth of a gram? b. How would you determine the volume of a penny? c. What is the difference between mass and volume? d. Suppose you find that the golden penny has a mass of 2.6 g. If you compare it with the mass of this penny, what can you conclude?

46. Lesson 5: All That Glitters Density

47. Alchemy Lesson 5: All That Glitters ChemCatalyst In the year 250 B.C.E., King Hiero commissioned a goldsmith to make him a crown out of pure gold. However, when he received the crown, he suspected that the goldsmith had taken some of the gold and replaced it with a cheaper metal, even though it still weighed the same. He asked Archimedes to determine whether the crown was solid gold. How do you think Archimedes determined whether the crown was solid gold?

48. Key Question How can you use mass and volume to determine the identity of a substance?

49. You will be able to: define density as the amount of mass in a certain space, or mass per unit volume solve problems for density, mass, or volume using the equation D = m/V explain how and why density can be used to identify a substance.

50. Prepare for the Lab Work in pairs.

51. Discussion Notes Density = mass per unit volume or how much “stuff” there is in a certain space. Density is an intensive property. d = m  v units = g/mL or g/cm 3 intensive property = property that doesn’t depend on amount (for same temperature). can be used to identify a substance extensive property: characteristic that is specific to the amount Ex. mass

52. Discussion Notes Sig Figs (cont.): Atlantic/Pacific Rule Pacific – dec. pt. present Start counting @ 1 st non-zero on Pacific side Ex. 0.005020 Atlantic – dec. pt. absent Start counting @ 1 st non-zero on Atlantic side Ex. 102000

53. Discussion Notes (cont.) Sig figs and calculations Multiplication/Division: least # of sig figs Example: 18.4cm x 0.5 cm x 36.1cm =

54. Metal Mass (g) Volume (mL) Density = mass/volume 2-inch long gold-colored rod 55.4 g6.6 mL 2-inch long silver-colored rod 17.8 g6.6 mL 4-inch long silver-colored rod 35.6 g13.2 mL crayon

55. Discussion Notes (cont.) Common materials and their densities. MaterialDensityMaterialDensity zinc7.1 g/cm 3 gold19.3 g/cm 3 paper0.9 g/cm 3 brass8.4 g/cm 3 water1.0 g/mLcopper9.0 g/cm 3 aluminum2.7 g/cm 3 lead11.4 g/cm 3

56. Discussion Notes (cont.) Accuracy and Precision in measurement Accurate = how close experimental value is to accepted value Precise = repeated experimental trials get close to same results

57. Wrap Up How can you use mass and volume to determine the identity of a substance? One substance can be distinguished from another by examining its intensive physical properties, such as density. Density is a measure of the mass per unit volume of a substance. The density of any given substance is always the same (as long as the temperature remains constant).

58. Check-in In 1999, the United States Mint produced a coin called the Golden Dollar. It features an image of Sacagawea, the famous Native American guide for Lewis and Clark. It has a mass of 9.8 g and volume of 1.1 mL. Is this coin truly gold? Explain. (The density of gold is 19.3 g/mL.)
