A New Language Activity & Notes

6. All That Glitters
In the year 1 BC, King Hiero commissioned the creation of a golden crown. However, he didn’t believe that the goldsmith used all gold. He asked Archimedes to determine if the crown was solid gold.

7. All That Glitters
Do you think Archimedes can determine if the crown is solid gold by putting it under water? Why or why not?
What happens to the level of the water if you submerge a crown in the water?

8. All That Glitters Mass Volume
is the amount of stuff or substance. We measure mass by measuring weight on a scale or balance.
Careful:
Mass = Weight
Volume
refers to the amount of space occupied by a substance.

9. All That Glitters Intrinsic Property Density
a property of the substance that doesn’t depend on size and shape.
Density
how much “stuff” there is in a certain space.
D = M/V

10. Density D () = Mass/Volume measured in: grams (g)/ml
It gives you an idea of how tightly packed the matter is in an object
Every substance on earth has its own unique density

11. Density
A gold miner has just found a nugget of pure gold. He measures its dimensions and then calculates its volume to be L. Knowing that the density of gold is 19.3 g / ml, calculate the mass of the miner’s nugget.

12. Density What is your unknown? (What is your end in mind?)
Mass in grams
List your Givens:
Volume = Liters
Density = 19.3 g / ml

13. Density but there are 3 significant figures  mass = 2.41 x 103 grams
Begin with the end in mind:
mass ml x 19.3 g/ ml
mass = g
but there are 3 significant figures
 mass = 2.41 x 103 grams

14. Density Practice Problems
Lead has a density of 11.4 grams per mL. If I make a statue out of 3.45 L of lead, what is the statue’s mass?

15. Density Practice Problem
A gold miner tries to sell some gold that he found in a nearby river. The person who is thinking about purchasing the gold measures the mass and volume of one nugget. The mass is kg and the volume is liters. Is this nugget really made out of gold? (Remember that the density of gold is 19.3 grams per mL)

16. Catalyst
There are two bottles on a shelf in a chemistry lab. Both contain a shiny metal substance that resembles gold. Bottle A is labeled Au (s). Bottle B is labeled FeS2 (s).
Do you think both bottles contain gold? Why or why not?
What do you think the symbols on the bottles mean?

17. What is an element?
Elements are substances containing only one type of atom.
Elements are the simplest forms of matter that can exist under normal laboratory conditions.
Cannot be separated into simpler substances
Building blocks for all substances

18. What are atoms? Fundamental unit of which elements are made
Not all atoms are the same
There are over 100 different types of atoms in the universe. They are called………

19. A New Language
What do the chemical symbols tell us about the substance inside the bottle?
Draw Data Table that is on page 18 of Alchemy
Collect Data
Complete Questions 1 – 8 only after collecting data & returning to your seats.

20. Making Sense of A New Language
What symbols are used to label something containing sulfate? Nitrate? Hydroxide?
What symbols represent copper sulfate?
Is copper sulfate an element or a compound? How do you know?
What do you think the subscript numbers mean?

21. What is a substance?
A particular kind of matter that has a uniform and definite composition.
Examples: sugar, water, elements, compounds

22. What are compounds?
Compounds is a substance that consists of two or more elements chemically combined together.
Can be separated into simpler substances only by chemical reactions.

23. What are compounds?
A compound always contains atoms of different elements
A compound, although it contains more than one type of atom, always has the same composition (same combination of atoms)

24. What are Chemical Formula’s?
A chemical formula is the set of symbols a chemist uses to represent a compound. Carbon dioxide is a gaseous compound. Its chemical formula is CO2 (g)
What do the subscripts tell us?
What does the (g) tell us? (s)? (l)? (aq)?

25. States of Matter Sublimation Vaporizing Melting Freezing Condensing
Deposition

26. What does aqueous mean?
A substance is aqueous if it is dissolved in water.
The substance that is dissolved is the solute.
The water is referred to as the solvent. It does the dissolving.

27. Property
A quality or trait that identifies a substance is called a property.

28. What are physical properties?
Characteristic of a substance that can change without the substance’s becoming a different substance

29. What are chemical properties?
Characteristic that describes the ability of a substance to change to a different substance.
Not easily reversed. You have NEW substances after a chemical reaction.

30. Physical vs. Chemical Properties
Reaction w/ other elements
Decomposition into simpler substances
Corrosion
Rusting
Combustion
Flammability
Color
State of Matter
Solubility (ability to dissolve)
Density
Melting Point
Boiling Point
Hardness
Electric Conductivity
Malleability
Ductility
Viscosity
