The Science of Chemistry
Chapter 1 The Science of Chemistry
2
SCIENCE Latin having knowledge
Study concerned with the observation and classification of facts examples:
3
SCIENTIST Search for relationships that can be used to explain and predict the behavior of things HOW??? EXPERIMENT
4
CHEMISTRY A Laboratory science that deals with the composition, structure and properties substances and the changes they undergo
5
Section 1-1 What is Chemistry?
Objectives: Describe the characteristics of the three most common physical states Draw models to represent solids, liquids & gases Write a word equation for a chemical reaction Identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions
6
Describe the characteristics of the three most common physical states
A… States of Matter B… Kinetic Molecular Theory
7
Physical States solid liquid gas fixed volume and shape fixed volume
Sodium Mercury Silicon Nitrogen Neon solid fixed volume and shape liquid fixed volume shape of container, horizontal top surface gas takes shape and volume of container
8
The Big Three: Water S,L,G Solid Liquid Gas
9
B. Kinetic Molecular Theory
KMT Particles of matter are always in motion. The kinetic energy (speed) of these particles increases as temperature increases.
10
B. Four States of Matter Solids
very low KE - particles vibrate but can’t move around fixed shape fixed volume
11
B. Four States of Matter Liquids
low KE - particles can move around but are still close together variable shape fixed volume
12
B. Four States of Matter Gases
high KE - particles can separate and move throughout container variable shape variable volume
13
B. Four States of Matter Plasma
very high KE - particles collide with enough energy to break into charged particles (+/-) gas-like, variable shape & volume stars, fluorescent light bulbs, CRTs
14

15
The Big Three #8 States of Matter Gas Liquid Solid
16
3 States of Bromine Solid Bromine Liquid Vapor
17
Draw models to represent solids, liquids & gases
18
Solid
19
Kinetic Molecular Theory: Solid
particles are tightly packed together in regular array particles vibrate about average positions seldom squeeze past other atoms results in a rigid material with a small, fixed volume for a given mass external shape often reflects internal arrangement of particles
20
Liquid
21
Kinetic Molecular Theory: Liquid
particles are arranged more randomly than in solid particles less confined so that they can move past one another particles are a little further apart, thus slightly larger, fixed volume particles are constantly interacting with one another
22
Gas
23
Kinetic Molecular Theory: Gases
particles in continuous, random, rapid motion collisions between particles are elastic volume occupied by the particles is negligibly small effect on their behavior attractive forces between particles have a negligible effect on their behavior gases have no fixed volume or shape, take the volume and shape of the container
25
Write a word equation for a chemical reaction
Write a word equation for a chemical reaction. Identify the reactants and products in a chemical reaction
26
Chemical Reactions: A chemical reaction occurs when two or more chemical substances are mixed together. This means that the atoms that were joined together in the original substances break apart and rearrange themselves to make a new substance, one or more substances may be transformed into one or more new substances. This new substance is quite different from the original substances.
27
Chemical Reactions: Reactant + Reactant ----> Product
Some products of chemical reactions are heat, light, sound and changes in color.
28
Chemical Reactions: Examples of Chemical Reactions:
A sparkler contains magnesium. This, when lit, reacts with oxygen in the air and produces light and heat. 2Mg + O2 2MgO + Energy Reactants Products Yields
29
Chemical Reactions: Examples of Chemical Reactions:
The chemicals inside a rocket, when lit, react with the oxygen in the air and produce heat, light and sound. 2H2 + O2 2H2O
30
Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions
When chemical reactions occur, as well as the formation of the products, there is also a heat energy change which can often be detected as a temperature change. This means the products have a different energy content than the original reactants (see the reaction profile diagrams below).
31
Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions
32
Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions
If the products contain less energy than the reactants, heat is released or given out to the surroundings and the change is called exothermic. The temperature of the system will be observed to rise in an exothermic change. Examples: the burning or combustion of hydrocarbon fuels the burning of magnesium, reaction of magnesium with acids, or the reaction of sodium with water the neutralization of acids and alkalis Thermite reaction
33
Distinguish between exothermic and endothermic reactions
If the products contain more energy than the reactants, heat is taken in or absorbed from the surroundings and the change is called endothermic. If the change can take place spontaneously, the temperature of the reacting system will fall but, as is more likely, the reactants must be heated to speed up the reaction and provide the absorbed heat. Examples: the thermal decomposition of limestone
