Matter, Measurements and Calculations

What is Chemistry?What is Chemistry?

• Chemistry is how matter is organized/reorganized/changed at the molecular level.

• Matter is everything that isn’t nothing.• Matter and energy are two sides of the same coin.

Chemistry

Biology

GeologyAstronomy

Physics

• Chemistry is often called the central science because it is an essential component of the natural and life sciences.

Chemistry and AstronomyChemistry and Astronomy

• Elemental composition of stars can be determined by different wavelengths of visible light emitted.

• When starlight passes through a planets atmosphere, certain frequencies of light disappear because they are absorbed by compounds in the atmosphere.

•Elements are created from the fusion reactions inside stars.•Hydrogen burning – 4 protons become alpha particle (helium nucleus).•Helium burning - 3 alpha particles form 12C then 16O.•Carbon and oxygen burning produce 28Si, 24Mg , 32S, and other elements.•Each of these requires more heat than the fusion reaction before it.•Uranium is last naturally-occuring element as a result of solar activity.

Chemistry and BiologyChemistry and Biology

• You reach a certain level in biology where processes can only be understood in terms of chemistry.

• Chemistry in biology explains:– Why your adrenaline levels increase when you are afraid or excited – Why a body fails to produce insulin (diabetes)– Why cells become cancerous– Neurotransmitter (e.g., dopamine, norepinephrine) imbalances that

can produce:• Euphoria when you have a few beers or fall in love• Depression

Centrality of ChemistryCentrality of Chemistry

• Biological processes are driven by chemistry, and the chemical processes are driven in turn by energy processes (physics).

• • Life can only exist because different elements exist and can form

different compounds.

• Different elements exist because fundamental particles can be organized differently to form the different elements inside stars.

Matter, Mass and WeightMatter, Mass and Weight• Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.

• Mass is a measurement of the amount of matter in an object.• Mass is independent of the location of an object.• An object on the earth has the same mass as the same object

on the moon.• Weight is a measurement of the gravitational force acting on

an object.• Weight depends on the location of an object.• An object weighing 1.0 lb on earth weighs about 0.17 lb on

the moon.

Properties of MatterProperties of Matter

Physical Properties:•These can be observed/measured without changing the composition of matter

– Appearance– Texture– Color– Odor– Shape– Melting Point (MP)– Boiling Point (BP)– Density (D)– Solubility

Physical Changes of Matter: – Smashing brick with a hammer– Freezing water or melting ice

Properties of MatterProperties of Matter

Chemical Properties:•These can be observed when you try to change matter from one form to another, i.e., you have different arrangements of atoms or molecules

– Reactivity– Flammability– Combustibility

Chemical Changes of Matter:– Setting a piece of paper on fire– Reaction between an acid and a base

Particulate Model of MatterParticulate Model of Matter

• All matter is made up of tiny particles called molecules and atoms.

• MOLECULES• A molecule is the smallest particle

of a pure substance that is capable of a stable independent existence.

• ATOMS• Atoms are the particles that

make up molecules.

Scientific NotationScientific Notation

• Scientific notation provides a convenient way to express very large or very small numbers.

• Numbers written in scientific notation consist of a product of two parts in the form M x 10n, where M is a number between 1 and 10 (but not equal to 10) and n is a positive or negative whole number.

• The number M is written with the decimal in the standard position.

Scientific Notation (continued)Scientific Notation (continued)

• STANDARD DECIMAL POSITION• The standard position for a decimal is to the right of the first

nonzero digit in the number M.

• SIGNIFICANCE OF THE EXPONENT n• A positive n value indicates the number of places to the right of

the standard position that the original decimal position is located.• A negative n value indicates

the number of places to the left of the standard position that the original decimal position is located.

Scientific ↔ Standard NotationScientific ↔ Standard Notation• Converting from scientific notation to standard numbers1.1 x 102 = 1.1 x 10 x 10 = 1.1 x 100 = 110 Decimal 1.1 x 10-2 = 1.1/ (10 x 10) = 1.1/100 = 0.011 Decimal

• When you move the decimal (l or r), the exponent will be

equal to number of places you moved the decimal.

Uncertainty and ErrorUncertainty and ErrorWhenever you measure anything, there is always some level of uncertainty.

Systematic Error may occur when the instrument is consistently wrong.Random Error may occur due to inaccurate or inconsistent sample measuring or instrument reading.

Ex. You step on a scale and the needle is approximately half-way between 150 and 151 lbs, but there are several reasons why you might not be able to correctly identify your weight.The needle moves around a little bit as you watch, so you can’t tell if it is exactly half-way (Random error). The scale is not calibrated properly, so your actual weight is closer to 140 than 150 (Systematic error). 

Significant FiguresSignificant Figures

• Significant figures are the numbers in a measurement that represent the certainty of the measurement, plus one number representing an estimate.

Q: When is a number NOT significant?A: Look at the zerosLeading zeros are NOT significant. 0.00123Confined zeros ARE significant. 0.00103Trailing zeros ARE significant, when decimal visible 0.0012300But NOT significant if no decimal 12300

Dimensional Analysis (Factor-unit method)Dimensional Analysis (Factor-unit method)• The factors used in the factor-unit method are fractions derived from

fixed relationships between quantities• An example of a definition that provides factors is the relationship

between meters and centimeters: 1m = 100cm. This relationship yields two factors:

m 1

Percentage Percentage • The word percentage means per one hundred. It is the

number of items in a group of 100 such items.

• PERCENTAGE CALCULATIONS• Percentages are calculated using the equation:

• In this equation, part represents the number of specific items included in the total number of items.

had a mass of 31.447 g. The beaker and contained liquid were weighed and had a mass of 55.891 g. Calculate the density of the liquid in g/mL.

• Solution: The mass of the liquid is the difference between the mass of the beaker with contained liquid, and the mass of the empty beaker or 55.891g -31.447 g = 24.444 g. The density of the liquid is calculated as follows:
