What Is Chemistry?
What chemists try to do is discover the
relationships between the particle structure of
matter and the properties of matter we observe.
Chemistry is the science that seeks to
understand what matter does by studying what
atoms and molecules do.
Scientists:
Observe nature.
Explain the behavior of
nature.
Communicate and
debate ideas with other
scientists.
Truth is revealed
through
experimentation.
Observation
A way of acquiring information about
nature.
Also known as Data.
Some observations are simple
descriptions about the characteristics
or behavior of nature.
The soda pop is a liquid with a brown
color and a sweet taste. Bubbles are seen
floating up through it.
Hypothesis
Experiments
Laws
Summary of observations that combines all
past observations into one general statement.
Law of Conservation of Mass In a chemical
reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed.
Theories
Scientific Method
A test of a
hypothesis
or theory.
A tentative explanation of a
single or small number of
natural phenomena.
A general explanation
of natural phenomena.
A generally
observed natural
phenomenon.
Applies to all
events
Describes what
happens
observation
law
hypothesis
theory
An Example
An Example, Continued
Step 3: Organize the information.
All the stuff around you is composed of chemicals.
The three main chemical ingredients of soda pop are water,
sugar, and carbon dioxide
Sugar = sweetness
Water = liquid
Carbon dioxide = gas
An Example, Continued
Step 5: Propose a hypothesis.
Since the only gas in soda is carbon dioxide,
The reason soda pop fizzes is because the carbon dioxide
is coming out of the soda.
Commitment
Work regularly and
carefully.

Scientific Notation
Scientific notation Accepted practice to
unambiguously indicate uncertainty
Written as a number (A), multiplied by 10
raised to an exponent (x)
Scientific Notation
Understanding scientific notation
Exponent is always a whole number
When exponent is positive, decimal moves to
the right
When exponent is negative, decimal moves to
the left
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to standard notation:
a) 4.68 x 10-1
b) 47.3 x 10-2
c) 47.325 x 103
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to standard notation:
a) 4.68 x 10-1
b) 47.3 x 10-2
c) 47.325 x 103
.468
.473
47,325
Scientific Notation
What if the decimal moves beyond the
beginning or end of the number?
For example, 4.6 x 104
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to standard notation:
a) 0.400 x 10-6
b) 2.35 x 10-3
c) 6.0 x 103
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to standard notation:
a) 0.400 x 10-6
0.000000400
b) 2.35 x 10-3 0.00235
c) 6.0 x 103
6000
Scientific Notation
Converting standard notation to scientific
First, find the decimal point
Move the decimal to the right of the first nonzero digit
The number of places moved is the exponent
If decimal moved left, exponent is positive
If decimal moved right, exponent is negative
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to scientific notation:
a) 123
b) 0.00006
c) 0.000060
d) 1002.0
Scientific Notation
Convert the following to scientific notation:
a) 123
b) 0.00006
c) 0.000060
d) 1002.0
1.23 x 102
6 x 10-5
6.0 x 10-5
1.002 x 103
Scientific Notation
Zeros and significant figures
Any zero placed due to the movement of the
decimal point is not significant
If a significant zero was present before
moving the decimal, it is still significant
Scientific Notation
Scientific notation also provides a
convenient way to write very large and small
numbers
Small numbers
0.000000120 meter is 1.20 x 10-7
Large numbers
600,000,000,000 miles is 6.0000 x 1011
Temperature
SI unit is Kelvin (K, not K)
Kelvin is called the absolute temperature scale
Other units include Celsius (C) and Fahrenheit (F)
C = K 273.15

Measuring Volume
A volume of 1 L or smaller is common in the
laboratory. When a liter is divided into
10 equal parts, each is called a deciliter (dL).
1 L = 10 dL
= 1 101 dL
1 L = 1000 mL = 1 103 mL
1 dL = 100 mL = 1 102 mL

Quantifying Energy
Every change that matter undergoes involves
energy
Physical changeice melting
Energy must be added to melt the ice
Quantifying Energy
Energy is defined as the ability to do work
The more energy there is, the more work that
can be done
Two forms considered in the text:
Heat
Light
Quantifying Energy
calorie (cal) is a well-known unit of energy
Not an SI unit (joule is the SI unit)
Two calorie types one with small c and one
with large c
1 Calorie = 1000 calories
1 Cal = 4.184 kJ
1 cal heats 1 g of water from 25 C to 26 C
