Changes noted on this slide. Slide count includes this new slide.
Slide 6: Argue moved from 1st in list to middle of list.
Slide 8: Put Creativity into list. Which two skills are you referring to in the notes?
Slide 10: Added “repeatable by others” to individual, dynamic and messy. I think that is the key difference
between science and arts, science and theology.
Slide 13: fixed spelling of “discussion”
Slide 15: Should one of these be “603?”
Slide 19: piechart changed to “scholarship”
Slide 20: clarified Points for Exams
Slide 23: Spelled out Misc
successful approach.
- Added piechart for summary discussion of grades and advice regarding
Slide 33: Link to NAS document explaining scientific method added
Slide 36: picture of Dalton added
Slides 37-38: inserted two slides since one of Dalton’s Laws mentioned here (and in book) is incorrect. A
great chance to bring up the fact that “Laws” are not immutable.

What is Chemistry?
1 : a science that deals with the composition,
structure, and properties of substances and with
the transformations that they undergo
2 a : the composition and chemical properties of a
substance <the chemistry of iron> b : chemical
processes and phenomena (as of an organism)
<blood chemistry>
3 : a strong mutual attraction, attachment, or
sympathy <they have a special chemistry>

To be a scientist or chemist…
• What do you think of when you think of
chemists?
Chemists
Discuss, model, explain, present, question,
experiment, read, calculate, form ideas,
propose hypotheses, argue, make
connections, conclude, think, learn, write,
observe, teach, collaborate, synthesize,
analyze, collect data, test, experiment, have
fun

Integrated Lecture and Lab
•Make connections
•A scientist isn’t a scientist without doing things that
scientists do
•Chemists don’t separate problem solving or concepts
from experimentation; they actually work in a studio like
environment
• Could I teach you how to drive a car without getting
behind the wheel?

Why teach like this?
• Average attention span is 20 minutes
• Cooperative learning has been shown to
help students increase learning
• People learn in a variety of ways
• Prepare you for future challenges that will
involve chemistry (be it classes or not)

Question 3
1) As a candle burns, it gives off light and heat.
When a glass rod is held in the yellow part of the
flame, a black film forms on the rod.
a) What is the source of the black film on the rod?
b) Is there a chemical change or a physical change in
the candle as it burns?
c) Give an example of a chemical change:
d) Give an example of a physical change
Question 4
• There are two identical steel beams. One is
placed on each side of a balance. A flame is
used to heat one of the steel beams. Does
the balance move? If so, how and why?
Question 5
• The circle on the left shows a magnified
view of a very small portion of liquid water
in a closed container. What would the
magnified view on the right show after the
water has all evaporated?

Fact
Law
Theory
Hypothesis
Model
According to the National Academy
of Science, a Hypothesis is:
A testable statement about the natural world
that can be used to build more complex
inferences and explanations
These definitions (and an excellent explanation of the scientific method) can be found at:
http://www.nap.edu/readingroom/books/evolution98/
According to the National
Academy of Science, a Fact is:
In science, an observation that has
been repeatedly confirmed.
According to the National
Academy of Science, a Law is:
A descriptive generalization about
how some aspect of the natural
world behaves under stated
circumstances
How are a fact and a law related?
Can you think of any scientific laws?
Some Examples of Laws as stated by
Dalton
Law of Conservation of
Matter
• In an ordinary
chemical reaction
matter is neither
created nor destroyed.
• The sum of the masses
of the reactants equals
the sum of the masses
of the products.
Law of Constant
Composition
• A chemical compound
always contains the
same elements in the
same proportions by
mass.
“Laws” Can Be Overturned !
Which Law from previous page is now known to be incorrect ?
Law of Conservation of Matter
Law of Constant Composition
The “Law of Constant Composition” also has an older name
given by Joseph Proust.
The Law of Definite Proportions
Once a Law has become accepted, it is very difficult to get it
convince the scientific community to discard it. Hence, this one
still appears in your textbook despite its limitations. This law is
only true for simple, small molecules.
Law of Definite Proportions
compounds composed of two or more
elements in definite proportions
Joseph Proust
1754-1826
Supported Law
I also discovered
Bleach (NaOCl)
Claude Berthollet
1748-1822
Opposed Law
But conceded to Proust
For most compounds discussed in Chem 130, Proust was correct !
However, more complex materials violate this Law (for example, LEDs used later in course)
Today, Berthollet is believed to be correct! He was vindicated ~160 years after his death!
According to the National
Academy of Science, a Theory is
In science, a well-substantiated explanation of
some aspect of the natural world that can
incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested
hypotheses. Theories must be falsifiable.
According to the National
Academy of Science, a Model is
A description or analogy used to help visualize
something (as an atom) that cannot be directly
observed
Theory vs. Model
• Theory based on facts, evidence
• Model is the picture, an analogy, a way of
describing a theory
Qualitative vs. Quantitative
• Fehling’s Reagent
