What is Chemistry?Chemistry is the study of the composition of “matter” its composition, properties, and the changes it undergoes. Matter - anything with mass and occupies space Chemistry has a definite affect on everyday life - taste of foods, grades of gasoline, etc. Living and nonliving things are made of matter.
4.
Chemistry isthe study of the composition , structure , and properties of matter and the changes it undergoes – such as burning fuels. C 2 H 5 OH + 3 O 2 2 CO 2 + 3 H 2 O + Energy Reactants Products
5.
5 Major Areasof Chemistry Analytical Chemistry - concerned with the composition of substances. Inorganic Chemistry - primarily deals with substances without carbon Organic Chemistry - essentially all substances containing carbon Biochemistry - Chemistry of living things Physical Chemistry - describes the behavior of chemicals (ex. stretching); involves lots of math! Boundaries not firm – they overlap and interact

Section 1.3 ThinkingLike a Scientist OBJECTIVES: Describe how Lavoisier transformed chemistry. Identify three steps in the scientific method.
21.
Section 1.3 ThinkingLike a Scientist OBJECTIVES: Explain why collaboration and communication are important in science.
22.
Alchemy – developed the tools and techniques for working with chemicals The word chemistry comes from alchemy – practiced in China and India since 400 B.C. Alchemy has two sides: Practical: techniques for working with metals, glass, dyes, etc. Mystical: concepts like perfection – gold was a perfect metal
23.
An Experimental ApproachIn the 1500s, a shift started from alchemy to science – King Charles II was a supporter of the sciences “ Royal Society of London for the Promotion of Natural Knowledge” Encouraged scientists to use more experimental evidence, and not philosophical debates
24.
Lavoisier In thelate 1700s, Antoine Lavoisier helped transform chemistry from a science of observation to the science of measurement – still used today He settled a long-standing debate about burning, which was… Oxygen was required!
25.
The Scientific MethodA logical approach to solving problems or answering questions. Starts with observation - noting and recording information and facts hypothesis - a proposed explanation for the observation; must be tested by an experiment
26.
Steps in theScientific Method 1. Observations (uses your senses) a) quantitative involves numbers = 95 o F b) qualitative is word description = hot 2. Formulating hypotheses (ideas) - possible explanation for the observation, or “educated” guess 3. Performing experiments (the test) - gathers new information to help decide whether the hypothesis is valid
27.
Scientific Method “controlled” experiment - designed to test the hypothesis only two possible answers: hypothesis is right hypothesis is wrong We gather data and observations by doing the experiment Modify hypothesis - repeat the cycle
28.
Scientific Method Wedeal with variables , or factors that can change. Two types: 1) Manipulated variable (or independent variable) is the one that we change 2) Responding variable (or dependent variable) is the one observed during the experiment For results to be accepted, the experiment needs to always produce the same result
29.
Outcomes over thelong term… Theory (Model) - A set of well-tested hypotheses that give an overall explanation of some natural phenomenon – not able to be proved Natural Law (or Scientific Law) - The same observation applies to many different systems; summarizes results - an example would be: the Law of Conservation of Mass
30.
Law vs. TheoryA law summarizes what has happened. A theory (model) is an attempt to explain why it happened – this changes as new information is gathered.
31.
- Page 22Using your senses to obtain information Hypothesis is a proposed explanation; should be based on previous knowledge; an “educated” guess The procedure that is used to test the hypothesis A well-tested explanation for the observations; cannot be proven due to new discoveries Tells what happened
32.
Collaboration / CommunicationWhen scientists share ideas by collaboration and communication, they increase the likelihood of a successful outcome How is communication done? Is the Internet reliable information? http://www.dhmo.org

Section 1.4 ProblemSolving in Chemistry OBJECTIVES: Identify two general steps in problem solving. Describe three steps for solving numeric problems. Describe two steps for solving conceptual problems.
34.
Problem Solving inChemistry We are faced with problems each day, and not just in chemistry A solution (answer) needs to be found Trial and Error may work sometimes? But, there is a method to problem solving that works better, and these are skills that no one is born knowing – they need to be learned.
35.
Problem Solving inChemistry Effective problem solving usually involves two general steps: Developing a plan Implementing that plan The skills you use to solve a word problem in chemistry are NOT different from those techniques used in shopping, cooking, or planning a party.
36.
Solving Numeric ProblemsMeasurements are an important part of chemistry; thus many of our word problems involve use of mathematics Word problems are real life problems , and sometimes more information is presented than needed for a solution Following skills presented will help you become more successful
37.
Solving Numeric ProblemsThe three steps we will use for solving a numeric word problem are: A nalyze C alculate E valuate The following slides tell the meaning of these three steps in detail. Let’s learn how to ACE these numeric word problems!
38.
Solving Numeric ProblemsAnalyze : this is the starting point Determine what are the known factors , and write them down on your paper! Determine what is the unknown . If it is a number, determine the units needed Plan how to relate these factors- choose an equation; use table or graph This is the heart of successful problem solving techniques – it is the PLAN
39.
Solving Numeric ProblemsCalculate: perform the mathematics If your plan is correct, this is the easiest step. Calculator used? Do it correctly! May involve rearranging an equation algebraically; or, doing some conversion of units to some other units.
40.
Solving Numeric ProblemsEvaluate: – the finishing step Is it reasonable? Make sense? Do an estimate for the answer, and check your calculations. Need to round off the answer? Do you need scientific notation? Do you have the correct units? Did you answer the question ?
41.
Solving Conceptual ProblemsNot all word problems in chemistry involve doing calculations Nonnumeric problems are called conceptual problems – ask you to apply concepts to a new situation Steps are: Analyze and 2) Solve Plan needed to link known to unknown, but no checking units or calculations Do Conceptual Problem 2.1 on page 46
