Explain how mass is conserved when substances undergo a chemical change. b. Describe what happens to atoms and molecules during chemical changes. c. Explain how burning ethanol is an example of chemical change, using evidence from the lab and the definition of chemical change. Explain what we see on a macroscopic scale and what we know is happening on an atomic-molecular scale. d. Honors: Write chemical changes as balanced equations. (Ex. C2H5OH + 3O₂ → 3H₂O + 2CO₂) e. Honors: When given the reactants of a chemical change, predict the products. LT3 – Energy is conserved and transformed in chemical changes. a. Define chemical potential energy (aka chemical energy). b. Give examples of high-energy bonds. c. Identify forms of energy that are present when ethanol is burned (before and after). d. Describe how energy is conserved when ethanol is burned, using evidence from the Burning Ethanol Lab and molecule models. LT4 – Organic and Inorganic molecules differ in their bonded atoms. a. Identify and draw examples of organic and inorganic molecules with the appropriate bonds. b. Identify organic and inorganic materials by their origin. During this unit, we are considering chemical changes, which occur at the atomic-molecular scale. In biology, we study chemical changes that happen within living systems. When molecules undergo a chemical change, it means that the molecules are broken down and the atoms re-combine to form different molecules. In simple chemical changes, this could look like a single molecule forming two or more molecules, or two or more molecules combining to form a single molecule. Although the reactants (starting molecules) are different from the products (ending molecules), the number of each type of atom remains the same. In other words, matter is conserved in chemical changes. In the Burning Ethanol Lab, we observed what happened to ethanol when we burned it in a closed system. When we lit ethanol on fire, it started a chemical change that can be represented by the following chemical equation: C2H5OH + 3O2 3H2O + 2CO2 Again, this equation shows that matter was conserved because the number of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms are the same on both sides of the equation. In the lab, we saw evidence that carbon dioxide was being produced because the BTB changed color, from blue (no CO2 present in the system) to yellow (CO2 present in the system). We also saw evidence that water vapor was being produced, because the cobalt chloride strip turned pink/white and steam collected on the sides of the container. The burning ethanol lab also showed us how chemical potential energy is transformed into heat and light energy. Chemical potential energy is contained within high-energy bonds, C-C and C-H bonds. When those bonds are broken during a chemical change, the energy contained within those bonds is released as heat and light energy. Organic materials are materials which originate from living things. Foods, fuels, and bodies of living things are all considered organic. In biology, the difference between inorganic and organic material lies in their molecular structure. Organic materials contain high-energy bonds, C-C and C-H bonds. Inorganic materials do not have high-energy bonds. One way to distinguish between organic and inorganic materials is to test whether or not they are combustible. Question Rules to Follow Evidence to Look For The Movement Question: Where are atoms moving? Where are atoms moving from? Where are atoms going to? Atoms last forever in combustion and living systems All materials (solids, liquids, and gases) are made of atoms When materials change mass, atoms are moving When materials move, atoms are moving The Carbon Question: What is happening to carbon atoms? What molecules are carbon atoms in before the process? How are the atoms rearranged into new molecules? Carbon atoms are bound to other atoms in molecules Atoms can be rearranged to make new molecules The air has carbon atoms in CO2 Organic materials are made of molecules with carbon atoms • Foods • Fuels • Living and dead plants and animals The Energy Question: What is happening to chemical energy? What forms of energy are involved? How is energy changing from one form to another? Energy lasts forever in combustion and living systems C-C and C-H bonds have more stored chemical energy than C-O and H-O bonds We can observe indicators of different forms of energy • Organic materials with chemical energy • Light • Heat energy • Motion Additional practice questions can be found on the class website: www.sciencewithmswang.weebly.com
