Introduction to Chemistry

PowerPoint Presentation adapted from Mr. John Bergmann

Whether you believe you can do a thing or believe you can’t,

Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated.

You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.

All through my life,

Believe that life is worth living, and your belief will help create the fact.

Chemistry is the study of matter and the transformations it can undergo…

…Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

Basic Safety Rules

#1 Rule: Use common sense.

Others:

No horseplay.

No unauthorized experiments.

Handle chemicals/glassware with respect.

Safety Features of the Lab

Material Safety Data Sheet

(MSDS)

-gives information about a chemical

-lists “Dos” and “Don’ts;” emergency procedures

Chemical Exposure

acute exposure a one-time exposure causes damage e.g., reaction to drugs or medication chronic exposure damage occurs after repeated exposure e.g., smoking, asbestos

Government Regulation of

Chemicals

The government regulates chemicals to reduce the risk to the…

SAFETY in the Science

Classroom

Obey the safety contract

– Use common sense

– No unauthorized experiments

– Wear safety glasses

– Safety is an attitude!

– Don’t take anything out of lab

– Read and follow all instructions

LD

50 the lethal dosage for 50% of the animals on which the chemical is tested

There are various ways an LD

50 can be expressed. For example, acetone has the following LD

50 s:

ORL-RAT LD

50

: 5,800 mg/kg

IHL-RAT LD

50

: 50,100 mg/m 3 -h

SKN-RBT LD

50

: 20 g/kg

Example

Chemical A: LD

50

Chemical B: LD

50

= 3.2 mg/kg

= 48 mg/kg

Which is more toxic?

Chemical A is more toxic because less of it proves fatal to half of a given population.

Science

The Functions of Science

pure science the search for knowledge; facts applied science using knowledge in a practical way e.g., aluminum strong lightweight good conductor

Science attempts to establish cause-effect relationships.

risk-benefit analysis weigh pros and cons before deciding

Because there are many considerations for each case, “50/50 thinking” rarely applies.

How does scientific knowledge advance?

1.

curiosity

2.

good observations

3.

determination

4.

persistence

The Scientific Method

** Key: Be a good observer. observation uses the five senses inference involves a judgment or assumption

Types of Data

Observations are also called data .

qualitative data

-descriptions quantitative data

-measurements e.g., 55 L or 83 o C

Parts of the Scientific Method

Identify an unknown.

Make a hypothesis : a testable prediction

Repeatedly experiment to test hypothesis.

procedure : order of events in experiment (i.e., a recipe) variable : any factor that could influence the result

A Scientific

Experiment

Experiments must be controlled : they must have two set-ups that differ by only one variable conclusion: must be based on the data

Scientific Law vs. Scientific Theory

law:

--

-states what happens does not change never violated

-- e.g., law of gravity, laws of conservation theory: tries to explain why or how something happens

-based on current evidence

-- e.g., Theory of Gravity,

Atomic Theory

Phlogiston Theory of Burning

1. Flammable materials contain phlogiston.

2. During burning, phlogiston is released into the air.

3. Burning stops when…

… object is out of phlogiston, or

… the surrounding air contains too much phlogiston.

(superceded by combustion theory of burning)

Alchemy

(~500 – 1300 C.E.) the quest for the Philosopher’s Stone

(the elixir, the Sorcerer’s Stone)

Allegedly, this substance would turn cheap metals into gold.

transmutation: changing one substance into another

Philosopher’s

Stone

COPPER GOLD

In ordinary chemical reactions… we cannot transmute elements into different elements.

Alchemy was practiced in many regions of the world, including China and the Middle East.

Alchemy arrived in western Europe around the year 500 C.E.

Modern chemistry evolved from alchemy.

Contributions of alchemists:

• experimental techniques

• new glassware

• information about elements

• developed several alloys

What is Chemistry?

the study of matter and its changes

Areas of Chemistry

organic the study of carboncontaining compounds biochemistry the chemistry of living things inorganic studies everything except carbon e.g., compounds containing metals physical measuring physical properties of substances e.g., the melting point of gold

Careers in Chemistry

• research (new products)

• production (quality control)

• development (manufacturing)

• chemical sales

• software engineering

• teaching

The skills you will develop by an earnest study of chemistry will help you in any career field.

The Scope of Chemistry

Scientific Notation

-- used to express very large or very small numbers, and/or to indicate precision

(i.e., to maintain the correct number of significant figures)

800 = 8 x 10 x 10

Essential Math of Chemistry

Units must be carried into the answer, unless they cancel.

5.2 kg (2.9 m)

(18 s)(1.3 s)

= 0.64 kg-m s 2

4.8 kg (23 s)

(18 s)(37 s)

= 0.57 kg s

Solve for x.

x + y = z x and y are connected by addition. Separate them using subtraction. In general, use opposing functions to separate things.

The +y and –y cancel on the left, leaving us with… x + y = z

– y – y x = z – y

Numerical Example

Solve for x.

x – 24 = 13 x and 24 are connected by subtraction. Separate them using the opposite function: addition.

The –24 and +24 cancel on the left, leaving us with… x – 24 = 13

+24 +24 x = 37

Solve for x.

x and k are connected by multiplication. Separate them using the opposite function: division.

F = k x

( )

F = k x

(or)

The two k’s cancel on the right, leaving us with…

F = k x k

 k x =

F k

Numerical Example

Solve for x.

x and 7 are connected by multiplication. Separate them using the opposite function: division.

8 = 7 x

( )

8 = 7 x

(or)

The two 7’s cancel on the right, leaving us with…

8 = 7 x

7

7 x =

Solve for x.

BA = TR x

One way to solve this is to cross-multiply.

Then, divide both sides by TR.

BAH = xTR

BAH = xTR

Conversion Factors and

Unit Cancellation

How many cm are in 1.32 meters?

equality: 1 m = 100 cm conversion factors:

(or 0.01 m = 1 cm) or

100 cm

1.32 m

( )

1 m

1 m

= 132 cm

We use the idea of unit cancellation to decide upon which one of the two conversion factors we choose.

How many m is 8.72 cm?

equality: 1 m = 100 cm conversion factors: or

100 cm

8.72 cm

( )

100 cm

1 m

= 0.0872 m

Again, the units must cancel.

If we are accounting for significant figures, we would change this to… 3.78 x 10 5 s

Basic Concepts in Chemistry

chemical: any substance that takes part in, or occurs as a result of, a chemical reaction

All matter can be considered to be chemicals or mixtures of chemicals.

chemical reaction: a rearrangement of atoms such that…

“what you end up with” products differs from

“what you started with” reactants
