Example : 1. Classify each of the following statements as a hypothesis, a law, or a theory. (a) An autumn leaf gravitates toward the ground because there is an attractive force between the leaf and Earth. (b) All matter is composed of very small particles called atoms. The Basic Units of Measurement Units tell the standard quantity to which we are comparing the measured property. Without an associated unit, a measurement is without meaning. Scientists use a set of standard units for comparing all our measurements. So we can easily compare our results. Each of the units is defined as precisely as possible. 33 What Is a Measurement? The unit tells you to what standard you are comparing your object. The number tells you: 1.What multiple of the standard the object measures. 2. The uncertainty in the measurement. ❖More digits → more precision Volume Derived unit. Any length unit cubed. Measure of the amount of space occupied. SI unit = cubic meter (m3) Commonly measure solid volume in cubic centimeters (cm3). Commonly measure liquid or gas volume in milliliters (mL). Density Mass Density = Ratio of mass : volume. Volume Its value depends on the kind of material, not the amount. Solids = g/cm3 (1 cm3 = 1 mL) Liquids = g/mL Gases = g/L Density Density : solids > liquids > gases Except ice is less dense than liquid water! Density For equal volumes, the more dense (D) object has a larger mass (m). (↑ m ↑ D) For equal masses, the more dense (D) object has a smaller volume (v). (↓ v ↑ D) Heating objects causes objects to expand. This does not effect their mass! How would heating an object effect its density? Using Density in Calculations Solution Maps: What Volume Does 100.0 g of Marble Occupy (D = 4.00 g/cm3)? Home work Q1: The dimensions of a sample of iron are 1.20 cm, 1.30 cm, and 1.20 cm. Its mass 1.39 g. Calculate its density? Q2: A student is trying to find the density of a cube each side of the cube measure 4 cm and the mass is 503.68 g. Calculate the density? SI-Derived Unit 1 cm = (110 m ) = 110−6 m3 3 −2 3 Area = m2 Volume = m3 1 dm = (110 m ) = 110−3 m3 3 −1 3 Speed = m/s 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3 Unit conversion Usually we use Factor-label method : units undergo the same kind of mathematical operation as numbers (Convert from one unit to another unit) Conversion Factor: a fraction that we use to change the units Converting from One Unit to Another Always write every number with its associated unit. Always include units in your calculations. You can do the same kind of operations on units as you can with numbers. cm × cm = cm2 cm + cm = cm cm ÷ cm = 1 Using units as a guide to problem solving is called dimensional analysis. Common Units and Their Equivalents Length 1 kilometer (km) = 0.6214 mile (mi) 1 meter (m) = 39.37 inches (in.) 1 meter (m) = 1.094 yards (yd) 1 foot (ft) = 30.48 centimeters (cm) 1 inch (in.) = 2.54 centimeters (cm) exactly Common Units and Their Equivalents, Continued Mass 1 kilogram (km) = 2.205 pounds (lb) 1 pound (lb) = 453.59 grams (g) 1 ounce (oz) = 28.35 (g) Volume 1 liter (L) = 1000 milliliters (mL) 1 liter (L) = 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3) 1 liter (L) = 1.057 quarts (qt) 1 U.S. gallon (gal) = 3.785 liters (L) Example—Convert 7.8 km to Miles 1.

An atom’s The sun’s average diameter is diameter is 0.000 000 000 3 m. 1,392,000,000 m. Scientific Notation Each decimal place in our number system represents a different power of 10. Scientific notation writes the numbers so they are easily comparable by looking at the power of 10. The sun’s The sun’s diameter is diameter is 1,392,000,000 m. 1.392 x 109 m. An atom’s average diameter is An atom’s average diameter is 0.000 000 000 3 m. 3 x 10-10 m. Exponents(x 10 ) Exponent 1.23 x 10-8 Decimal part Exponent part When the exponent on 10 is positive, it means that the powers of 10 larger. When the exponent on 10 is negative, it means that the power of 10 smaller. Conversion of Scientific Notation If you moved the decimal point If you moved the decimal point to the left, to the right, ✓ then n is + ✓ then n is − ✓ If the original number is ✓ If the original number is 1 or larger less than 1 Scientific Notation To compare numbers written in scientific notation: First compare exponents on 10. If exponents are equal, then compare decimal numbers 1.23 x 105 4.56 x 102 1.23 x 105 > 4.56 x 102 4.56 x 10-2 7.89 x 10-5 4.56 x 10-2 > 7.89 x 10-5 7.89 x 1010 1.23 x 1010 7.89 x 1010 > 1.23 x 1010 Writing a Number in Scientific Notation Example (1) : 12340 1.

Reporting Measurements The system of writing measurements we use is called significant figures. When writing measurements, all the digits written are known with certainty except the last one, which is an estimate. An example of estimating the last digit: 45.872 Estimated Certain Significant Figures rules Non-zero digits are always significant e.g. 32 (2 sig.) 12.3 (3 sig.) Any zeros between two significant digits are significant e.g. 1005 (4 sig) 7.03 (3 sig) Zeros at the beginning of a number are never significant e.g. 000026 (2 sig) Significant Figures rules A final zero or trailing zeros are significant if the number contains in a decimal point e.g. 0.0200 (3 sig.) 3.0 (2 sig.) 12.30 cm (4 sig.) Zeros at the end of a number without a written decimal point are ambiguous and should be avoided by using scientific notation. e.g. 150 (2 sig. or 3 sig.) 1.5 x 102 (2 sig.) 1.50 x 102 (3 sig.) What is the number of significant figures in each of the following measurements? (a) 4867 mi (b) 56 mL (c) 60,104 tons (d) 2900 g (e) 40.2 g/cm3 (f) 0.0000003 cm (g) 0.7 min (h) 4.6 × 1019 atoms EXAMPLE 2.4 1 Determining the Number of Significant Figures in a Number How many significant figures are in each of the following numbers?

Notice that 125.1 is not the quantity with the fewest significant figures—it has four while the other quantities only have three—but because it has the fewest decimal places, it determines the number of decimal places in the answer. Round the intermediate answer (in blue) to two (b) decimal places to reflect the quantity with the fewest decimal places (5.98). C. Rounding When rounding to the correct number of significant figures, if the number after the place of the last significant figure is: 1. 0 to 4, round down. ✓ Drop all digits after the last significant figure and leave the last significant figure alone. ✓ Add insignificant zeros to keep the value, if necessary. ✓ Example: Rounding to 2 significant figures: e.g. 2.34 2.3 (2 sig. fig.) e.g. 2.349865 2.3 (2 sig. fig.)

D.Work was precise. E.C and D. Problem Solving and Dimensional Analysis Many problems in chemistry involve using relationships to convert one unit of measurement to another. Conversion factors are relationships between two units. May be exact or measured. Both parts of the conversion factor have the same number of significant figures. Conversion factors generated from equivalence statements. e.g., 1 inch = 2.54 cm can give or 2.54cm 1in 1in 2.54cm Matter, Mixture and Separation methods : A Matter any thing occupies a space and has a mass gas Three States liquid solid In Your Room Everything you can see, touch, smell or taste in your room is made of matter. Chemists study the differences in matter and how that relates to the structure of matter. What Is Matter? Matter is defined as anything that occupies space and has mass. Even though it appears to be smooth and continuous, matter is actually composed of a lot of tiny little pieces we call atoms and molecules. Atoms are the tiny particles that make up all matter. In most substances, the atoms are joined together in units called molecules. The atoms are joined in specific geometric arrangements. Classifying Matter by Physical State Matter can be classified as solid, liquid, or gas based on what properties it exhibits. State Shape Volume Compress Flow Solid Fixed Fixed No No Liquid Indefinite Fixed No Yes Gas Indefinite Indefinite Yes Yes The atoms or molecules have different structures in solids, liquids, and gases − leading to different properties. Fixed = Property doesn’t change when placed in a container. Indefinite = Takes the property of the container. Anything occupies space and has mass 2 or more substances each retain their distinct identities Form of matter has definite composition substance with constant substance that cannot mixture composition mixture composition composition that can be be decompose into simpler is the same not uniform broken down into elements form by chemical or by chemical process physical change OR Two or more different atoms bind together by a chemical bond What is the different between element and atom? A mixture is a combination of two or more substances in which the substances retain their distinct identities. 1. Homogenous mixture – composition of the mixture is the same throughout. soft drink, milk, solder 2. Heterogeneous mixture – composition is not uniform throughout. cement, iron filings in sand Example: Classify each of the following as an element, a compound, a homogeneous mixture, or a heterogeneous mixture: (a)water from a well (b) Argon gas (c) Sucrose (d) chicken noodle soup Physical and Chemical Change A physical change does not alter the composition or identity of a substance. sugar dissolving ice melting in water A chemical change alters the composition or identity of the substance(s) involved. hydrogen burns in air to form water Some Physical Properties Mass Volume Density Solid Liquid Gas Melting point Boiling point Volatility Taste Odor Color Texture Shape Solubility Electrical Thermal Magnetism conductance conductance Malleability Ductility Specific heat capacity Some Chemical Properties Acidity Basicity (aka alkalinity) Causticity Corrosiveness Reactivity Stability Inertness Explosiveness (In)Flammability Combustibility Oxidizing ability Reducing ability Example: Which of the following represents a chemical change? A.Boiling water to form steam B.Burning a piece of coal C.Heating lead until it melts D.Mixing iron powder and sand at room temperature E.Breaking glass Extensive and Intensive properties An extensive property of a material depends upon how much matter is is being considered. mass length volume An intensive property of a material does not depend upon how much matter is is being considered. density temperature m.p, f.p, b.p etc color Example: Which of the following is an extensive property? A.Density. B.Specific heat. C.Mass. D.Color. E. Melting point.
