1. Print the Objective: The synthesis of dihydrogen monoxide Welcome to class. My name is Charlie Arbuiso and I will be your chemistry teacher. Copy the objective, and get ready to learn… Put the other papers away now. 1. Print the Objective: The synthesis of dihydrogen monoxide

Since it’s a chemistry class, let’s examine what we are dealing with… 2. dihydrogen monoxide = 3. Its formula is written as ____________________ 4. ____ is the symbol for ________________________ 5. ____ is the symbol for _________________________ 6. The Word equation for this reaction is: ______________ and ________________ yields _________________________ 7. The Skeleton equation (proper chemistry symbols, but not balanced yet): _______ + _______ __________________

Since it’s a chemistry class, let’s examine what we are dealing with… 2. dihydrogen monoxide = 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom 3. Its formula is written as H2O (note the “2” is a subscript!) 4. H is the symbol for Hydrogen 5. Ois the symbol for oxygen 6. HYDROGEN and OXYGEN yields DIHYDROGEN MONOXIDE (WATER) 7. The Skeleton equation (proper chemistry symbols, but not balanced yet): H + O H2O

Something that you didn’t know, and couldn’t know is that both hydrogen and oxygen are atoms that are not happy being single. They exist in nature in the pure form only as paired partners, like H2 and O2. Seven atoms are like this. You’ll learn them. So let’s fix this symbol equation to a skeleton equation: 8. H + O H2O Math counts. Keeping track of atoms counts. This equation is not “balanced”. Not balanced means BAD. We need to fix that. (you should not be able to do this, so don’t sweat, just copy for now) 9. H2 + O2 H2O This is called a balanced chemical equation, the same amount of atoms on the start side of the reaction, and at the end. 10. copy this : (4 H atoms + 2 O atoms form into the same 4 H’s + 2 O’s but they are combined differently – that’s chemistry!)

Now we need to add phase symbols, there are three phases of matter in our course. 11. What are phase symbols? ________________ 12. Rewrite this balanced equation with phase symbols now. 2H2 + O2 2H2O H2 gas + O2 gas in the air

Now we need to add phase symbols, there are three phases of matter in our course. 11. What are phase symbols? They tell if the matter is solid, liquid or gas (there’s a few more, but not today, okay?) 12. Rewrite this balanced equation with phase symbols now. 2H2(G) + O2(G) 2H2O(G) H2 gas + O2 gas in the air

Hydrogen and oxygen are elements. Water is a compound. Chemistry is the study of matter and how matter acts and reacts.

Homework: 1. Read the handout for the course 2. Fill in the student data form, with parents 3. Bring back the student data form, filled in, and with your parent’s signature 4. Get a loose-leaf binder and some paper. NO SPIRAL NOTEBOOKS for chemistry. 5. Tell your family about making wata and how much you will love this class.

Measurement Class 1 OBJECTIVE: To learn to distinguish between qualitative and quantitative measures, and between error and percent error; finally, to calculate percent error.  

Paper is cheap. Knowledge is valuable. Let’s have some fun, guess my weight. Measure my mass, using your eyes and mind as your tools. In science we measure (and estimate) all the time. 18. Write your answer down.

What were your guesses? Fast and loud. Your eye “measurements” in pounds 19. On the bathroom scale, what is the ACTUAL mass of your teacher in pounds? ______ 20. Measurements that are close to the correct weight are called ______________ 21. Measurements that are close together (close to correct or not) are called: ____________ 22. In our class we will measure our best to be _______________________

What were your guesses? Fast and loud. Your eye “measurements” in pounds 19. On the bathroom scale, what is the ACTUAL mass of your teacher in pounds? 20. Measurements that are close to the correct weight are called ACCURATE 21. Measurements that are close together (close to correct or not) are called: PRECISE 22. In our class we will measure our best to be both ACCURATE + PRECISE

Accurate measurements are close to the actual or correct measure. Precise measurements are close together. 23. If your measures are precise, your tool is ______________ Precise and accurate together is great. Precise alone means that your tool is good. 24. Measurements that are not precise means that your ________________________________________ working well.

Accurate measurements are close to the actual or correct measure. Precise measurements are close together. 23. If your measures are precise, your tool is CONSISTENT Precise and accurate together is great. Precise alone means that your tool is good. 24. Measurements that are not precise means that your tool (or you) are not working well.

25. Qualitative measures: use only words 26. Quantitative measures use numbers with units In chem we will sometimes use qualitative measures, but sometimes quantitative ones. Examples: 27. Quantitative measure: Mr. Arbuiso is ___________________ 28. Qualitative measure: Mr. Arbuiso is ____________________

29. Error How far away your measure is from accurate. What was your “error” in measuring the mass of the teacher? _______________________________________________________________________ It’s always a positive number (no need for a sign) 30. Error is the difference between your measure and the actual measure Error = |Measured value – Actual value| (those lines indicate absolute value)

MV – AV AV %E = X 100% or Measured value – actual value actual value 31. Percent Error is much more important in our class. Percent error is how far off you were from your measured value to the actual value expressed as a percentage, with the +/- sign to indicate if you were over or under in your measuring. 32. Formula: % Error = Measured value – actual value actual value X 100% or MV – AV AV %E = X 100% Calculate the % Error now.

What is your % Error? Let’s talk about your answers now. 33. Quick, measure with your eyes, how many inches it is to the top of the door. Write your measurement down. The actual height is _________”. Do your Error and %E NOW. Write the formulas!

MV – AV AV %E = X 100% Error = |Measured value – Actual value|

34. Standard Units in our class are: Length: METER, also millimeter, centimeter Volume: LITER and MILLILITER Mass: GRAM, and kilogram and milligram Density: GRAMS/CENTIMETER CUBED or GRAMS PER MILLILETER Temperature: KELVIN and CENTIGRADE (AKA celcius) Time: SECONDS Hand in your student data form now. Put everything, EVERYTHING, into the inbox. Do not hand me stuff - put it into the inbox (unless it is money or chocolate chip cookies)

Units for density are most often: 43. __________________________ _________ or 44. __________________________ _________ 45. __________= _____________ 46. There is NO SUCH THING as an ______ If you don’t GET That, RAISE YOUR HAND AND ASK!

Units for density are most often: 43. grams/centimeter cubed g/cm3 or 44. grams/milliliter g/mL 45. 1 cm3 = 1 mL, 46. There is NO SUCH THING as an mL3 If you don’t GET That, RAISE YOUR HAND AND ASK!

Calculate the density of this metal. 47. A cube or metal has a mass of 4506 grams and it is 10.0 cm per side. (V = s x s x s) Calculate the density of this metal. (you must, must write the formula for each problem!)

47. A cube or metal has a mass of 4506 grams and it is 10 47. A cube or metal has a mass of 4506 grams and it is 10.0 cm per side. (V = s x s x s) Calculate the density of this metal. (you must, must write the formula for each problem!) m V D = = 4506 g 1000 cm3 D = 4.506 g/cm3

48. What metal is it? (how could you know this?)

48. What metal is it? (how could you know this?) You could have memorized the density tables from a chem book, or you could just look it up! It’s titanium, Ti.

49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14. 5 grams 49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14.5 grams. Their total volume is 1.75 cm3. Calculate the density of the pennies.

49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14. 5 grams 49. FIVE pennies together have a mass of 14.5 grams. Their total volume is 1.75 cm3. Calculate the density of the pennies. m V D = = 14.5 g 1.75 cm3 D = 8.29 g/cm3

50. Assuming the pennies are made up of pure copper, what is your % Error?

%E = -7.48% 3SF MV – AV AV %E = 8.29 – 8.96 g/cm3 8.96 g/cm3 50. Assuming the pennies are made up of pure copper, what is your % Error? MV – AV AV %E = MV – AV AV 8.29 – 8.96 g/cm3 8.96 g/cm3 %E = = %E = -7.48% 3SF

51. Is your measured value for density UNDER or OVER the actual measurement for the density of copper? How would you KNOW?

-7.48% means it was close, (~ 8%) but it was not perfect. 51. Is your measured value for density UNDER or OVER the actual measurement for the density of copper? How would you KNOW? A Negative percent error means YOUR measure is under the actual measurement. -7.48% means it was close, (~ 8%) but it was not perfect. It’s like getting about a 92% correct on a quiz.

52. A bar of metal is 27.73 g and has volume of 4.70 cm3. Is it gold?

D = = m V D = 5.90 g.cm3 (3SF!) Is that the density of gold? 52. A bar of metal is 27.73 g and has volume of 4.70 cm3. Is it gold? m V D = = 27.73 g 4.70 cm3 D = 5.90 g.cm3 (3SF!) Is that the density of gold? Check NOW! No guessing.

Measurement Class 3 58. OB: defining and understanding significant figures in measuring and in math equations. Handout: The Significance of Significant Figures.

Significant figures are the numbers in our math that are important enough to count. They have real, or significant, value to the measurement. We will measure so many things in chemistry, and we’ll use so many formulas, we need to learn how to deal with the numbers. The rules to significant figures is how we’ll do so. Officially, significant figures is defined this way: 59. In a measurement, all numbers you know that you measured properly, plus one more estimated place, are significant.

You want to be sure that your measurements are as correct as possible You want to be sure that your measurements are as correct as possible. You never want to round away how exact you can be. You also are not permitted to be magically more exact than your tool will let you. For instance, 6 grams is not really the same as 6.0 grams, or 6.00 grams, or 6.000 grams. The are all measured to different levels of exactness.

If we are going to measure the temperature in this room right now, with our centigrade thermometer, let’s look at the tool now. 60. What temperature is it? This tool indicates temperature in degrees centigrade. Whole degrees.

With tools that we read with our eyes, like a thermometer, or a ruler, we measure to the closest measure, then estimate out ONE more place. Our eyes can estimate one place, but not two or three more decimal points. You can’t be “more accurate” than your tool let’s you. You should never give up how exact you can be, (don’t just say it’s 20 degrees centigrade, estimate to the tenth of a degree. 61. ____________________________

Let’s look over these rules on the back of this handout and see if we can’t figure out what this is all about. For any measures: Rule 1. Any digit 1-9 is going to be significant (it’s important and we need to keep track of how many SF we have). 62. How many significant figures in these temperatures? Which is most/least exact? 23°C 23.1°C 23.39°C

For any measures: 1. Any digit 1-9 is going to be significant (it’s important and we need to keep track of how many SF we have). 62. How many significant figures in these temperatures? Which is most/least exact? 23°C 23.1°C 23.39°C 2 SF 3 SF 4 SF Least exact Most exact

RULE 2. If there’s a ZERO digit between significant figures, that is significant too. (it’s not just a placeholder) 63. How many SF are in these measures? 101 grams 4509 joules 20,445,567 kilocalories 110 grams 4590 joules 21,445, 567 kilocalories 20,456,056 seconds

RULE 2. If there’s a ZERO digit between significant figures, that is significant too. (it’s not just a placeholder) 63. How many SF are in these measures? 101 grams 4509 joules 20,445,567 kilocalories 110 grams 4590 joules 21,445, 567 kilocalories 20,456,056 seconds 3 SF 4 SF 8 SF 2 SF 3 SF 8 SF 8 SF

Rule 3. Zeros before SF are not significant (they are placeholders) 64. How many SF in these measures? 0.0054 kilograms _________ 0.000000000000001 kPa ________ 0.565 grams ___________

Rule 3. Zeros before SF are not significant (they are placeholders) 64. How many SF in these measures? 0.0054 kilograms 2SF 0.000000000000001 kPa 1 SF 0.565 grams 3 SF

Rule 4. Zeros with a decimal point or without a decimal point (the dot counts!) 150 grams has a zero at the end, and this means we are SURE of 1 one hundred, and 5 tens of grams, but not too sure of the rest. This means it has 2 SF If the measure is 150. grams, that’s different. We are now sure of all three digits. 3 SF

65. What about these measures, how many sig figs? 250 atm _____ 340. grams ______ 55,678,900 seconds ________ 14,050. cm _______

48. What about these measures, how many sig figs? 250 atm 2 SF 340. grams 3 SF 55,678,900 seconds 6 SF 14,050. cm 5 SF

RULE 5. Zeros at the end of a decimal number are significant, these ARE NOT PLACEHOLDERS, but indicate you measured to that decimal place and found it to contain NO digits. 66. How many SF in these 4 measures? 1.50 grams _______ 2.0 seconds _______ 98,754,123.00 g _______ 0.0040 days _______

RULE 5. Zeros at the end of a decimal number are significant, these ARE NOT PLACEHOLDERS, but indicate you measured to that decimal place and found it to contain NO digits. 66. How many SF in these 4 measures? 1.50 grams 3 SF 2.0 seconds 2 SF 98,754,123.00 g 10 SF 0.0040 days 2 SF

RULE 6 - Unlimited Significant Figures Unlimited SF will be important whenever we use EQUALITIES, especially when converting from one unit to another. 67. For example, if we measured 1.5 pounds of butter and needed to convert it to grams, we’d use this EQUALITY or conversion factor: 1 pound = 454 grams The calculator answer would be 681 g. This is NOT correct. Our equality has UNLIMITED SF, but our original measure does not, it has 2 SF. Our answer is limited to the LEAST amount of SF in the math.

68. 1.00000… pounds = 454.000000… grams (to the nth degree) That’s because 1 pound = 454 grams Means 1.0 pounds = 454.0 grams Or 68. 1.00000… pounds = 454.000000… grams (to the nth degree) That last zero on the end would be significant, and all the zeros in between would be too, so equalities never “limit” SF.

69. (copy all) In a math equations, the answers must not gain or lose SF. You can’t get MORE EXACT because you multiply or divide, nor should you round away how well you have measured. 70. If you measure your room to be 7.7 meters X 5.4 m, you’ll need a rug of 41.58 m2 Not really. If you only measure to 2 SF because that’s the limit of your tool, your answer can only have 2 SF. Round the 41.58 m2 to 42 m2 to be correct.

Last rule… When using scientific notation, only the front part (the coefficient) has SF. 71. How many SF in this measure? 6.02 x 1023 atoms has ___________ SF

Last rule… When using scientific notation, only the front part (the coefficient) has SF. 71. How many SF n this measure? 6.02 x 1023 atoms has 3 SF, just the 6.02 part counts

Practice (talk together) 72. How many SF in these measures? 123 m _____ 40.506 cm _____ 0.345 g _____ 30.0 seconds _____ 22 Liters _____ 22.4 liters _____ 0.07080 kg ______ 9.7 x 107 years ______ 9.70 x 107 years _____

Measurement Class 4 75. OB: Learning the rules and operations of unit conversion math, AKA DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS

76. 2 Sneakers = 1 pair of sneakers Same thing, right? In our lives, and in our studies, we will have to convert our math units from one form to another all the time. Each time you put on your two sneakers in the morning, or your pair of sneakers, you put on the same number of sneakers, but you think it, or say it differently. 76. 2 Sneakers = 1 pair of sneakers Same thing, right?

No matter if you are playing 52-Pickup or watching a magician, you know that there are 52 cards in the deck of cards. A deck of cards has 52 cards. 77. A deck of cards EQUALS 52 cards. If your brother ripped the ace of diamonds in half during a minor fit of insanity, you no longer have a deck of cards (although if he’s under eight years old he might not notice). =

78. If I said how many cards are in 2 decks of cards, or how many shoes are in three pairs of shoes, could you tell me? (104 and 6) To figure these problems out, you would probably just “do it in your head”, but in fact you are doing dimensional analysis computations. 3 pairs of shoes 1 X 2 shoes 1 pair of shoes = 6 shoes This is how your “mind” converted from pairs to shoes in units. You didn’t even realize (probably) that 2 shoes = 1 pair of shoes is called an Equality, which can be changed into 2 different CONVERSION FACTORS.

Two Conversion Factors 79. List these Conversion factors are used to convert one unit to another. All conversion factor numerators must = their denominators. They MUST have units top and bottom. MUST. They will always equal “1” - right side up or upside down. Every equality can make 2 different conversion factors, and conversion factors equal 1. 12 inches = 1 foot 80. An Equality Two Conversion Factors From one equality = 12 inches 1 foot 1 foot 12 inches

81. Let’s convert your teacher’s mass (________ pounds) into ounces. Do you know of an equality with pounds & ounces? 1 pound = 16 ounces

Do you know of an equality with pounds & ounces. ___ pounds 1 16 ounces 1 pound = X ounces _____ ounces. WHOA! What about SF? How many SF in the math? How many SF are supposed to be in the answer? What’s the real answer? _____________ ounces has 2 SF, which is as close as we can measure.

82. Convert 1.2 kilograms into grams (1 kg = 1000 g). Let’s try a few one step unit conversion problems in a row. Set it up correctly, with our “starting point” over 1, use units, cancel units, talk to each other and check to see if your neighbor has the same answer as you do. 82. Convert 1.2 kilograms into grams (1 kg = 1000 g). 83. Convert 56,750 mL into liters (l L = 1000 mL).

84. Convert your age (you are 15.4 years old right now) into minutes. Multiple step unit conversions… You can sometimes get a problem that you can’t simply convert from one unit to another because you don’t know a conversion factor. But you know other ones, so you can go in steps. 84. Convert your age (you are 15.4 years old right now) into minutes. How many minutes are in one year? There is an answer to that, and if you know it, you can make this a one step conversion problem. Since you don’t let’s think. All conversion factors must equal 1. If you multiply 15.4 x a conversion factor = 15.4 If you multiply 15.4 x a conversion factor x another one = 15.4 You can multiply any number by 1 as many times as you like, it’s ok.

Convert 15.4 years into minutes.

84. Convert 15.4 years into minutes. 15.4 yr 1 365 days 1 yr 24 hours 1 day 60 minutes 1 hour X X X = 15.4 yr 1 365 days 1 yr 24 hours 1 day 60 minutes 1 hour X X X = Be sure to see how you started OVER 1, and ALL of the units cancel, and the last unit left (minutes) is the one that the answer needs to have! Do the math, and consider your ANSWER’S SF BEFORE you multiply. How many SF does your answer NEED to have? 8,094,240 min. with just 3 SF: 8,090,000 min.

85. Convert the 400. meter race into yards so the football players can easily compare that length to their field. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters

Convert the 400. meter race into yards so the football players can easily compare that length to their field. 1 inch = 2.54 centimeters 400. m 1 100 cm 1 m 1 inch 2.54 cm 1 yard 36 inches X X X = 400. m 1 100 cm 1 m 1 inch 2.54 cm 1 yard 36 inches X X X = How many SF in the answer?! Do the math across the top and write your answer, then CLEAR your calculators. Do the math across the bottom, write your answer, then clear again. Then do the division. 40,000 91.44 = 437.445319 changes to 437 yards with 3 SF

Homework Tonight: Measurement HW _____ 86. I live in a make believe world (sometimes) and in my world there are special magical ways that will allow me to convert from unusual units to even more unusual units. Sometimes I bring silly problems back to Earth, just to help my students think abstractly. As long as you have equalities, you can make conversion factors. Ergo, you can convert units easily. A YOWZA is what a student yells when she earns an all correct on her quiz. 1 Yowza feels the same as 3.4 hoo-hoo’s 1 hoo-hoo is the same as hollaring 8.2 ka-ching’s 1 ka-ching is equal to 2.3 hmmmm’s It takes 5.9 hmmmm’s to match up with 1.6 unh’s. So, tell me quick! How many unh’s are the same as 7.00 Yowza’s? (units are units, and they are there just to be crossed out) Watch your starting point, and how many SF in your answer?

In dimensional analysis, the units are there just to be converted In dimensional analysis, the units are there just to be converted. They don’t “really” even matter. In fact, they can be made up, make believe. As long as you have equalities, you can convert from one unit to another, even if they are fake units. Using fake units is called abstract thinking. You need to be abstract now, not obtuse. OK? Imagine you are working at a zoo. Different animals have different “values”, which are not real, but come into play when trading other zoos to get new cool animals. Think and get psyched for this one…

You wish you could get a new proboscis monkey for the empty cage at your zoo. You have an abundance of lemurs on hand and hope to trade them away. In a multi- zoo trade, you set it all up. 1 proboscis monkey = 14 zebras 8 zebras = 1 giraffe 2 giraffes = 1 elephant 1 elephant = 27 penguins 5 penguins = 1 lemur 115. If this is all true (it is, I promise), how many lemurs will it take to get one proboscis monkey? (don’t sweat SF) Round to the nearest whole lemur!

115. 1 proboscis monkey = 14 zebras 8 zebras = 1 giraffe 2 giraffes = 1 elephant 1 elephant = 27 penguins 5 penguins = 1 lemur

115. 1 proboscis monkey = 14 zebras 8 zebras = 1 giraffe 2 giraffes = 1 elephant 1 elephant = 27 penguins 5 penguins = 1 lemur 1 lemur 5 penguins 14 zebra 1 P.M. 1 giraffe 8 zebra 1 elephant 2 giraffes 27 penguins 1 elephant 1 P.M. 1 = X X X X X = 378/80 = 4.725 or 5 lemurs are equal to 1 proboscis monkey!

116. You have a special moment and discover a hunk of metal in your yard in the dirt. It’s stamped “pure osmium” and “100.0 grams” as well. It looks pretty new and you even believe this is real. What is the volume of this hunk of metal in cm3? Show a formula and all your work. SF are your initials.
