Plan
• Dimensional Analysis ideas (continued)]– Online resource with examples:
http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/fun.htm
• Classification of Matter– Operational– Conceptual (Atomic Theory / Nanoscopic pics)– Chemical vs. Physical changes
1
Try these
• If the price of apples is 25 cents each, how much will 5 apples cost?
• If DVD’s cost 20 dollars each, and you have 100 dollars, how many DVD’s can you buy (don’t worry about tax!)
• If you paid $31.04 to put 11.8 gallons of gas into your car, what was the price of gas? (Did you get a good deal?)
2
Try these
• If the density of Al is 2.7 g/mL, how much will a sample of 5.0 mL of Al “weigh”?
• If a substance has a molar mass of 20. g/mol, and you have 100. g of this substance, how many moles of it do you have?
• If 31.04 moles of NaCl is present in 11.8 L of solution, what is the concentration of NaCl in the solution (in units of moles/L)?
3
Assertion
• The two sets of problems above are fundamentally the SAME! – The second set is (much!) harder for you right now
because the quantities involved are not as familiar to you.
• Although we have discussed “dimensional analysis” (factor-label method) as a means of solving problems such as these, PLEASE recognize that you should keep striving for understanding – so that eventually, the second set of problems will be
as easy for you as the first set!

Dimensional Analysis Principles (review)
• Units are treated like a algebraic variables during calculations (use this to check your result!)
• You can do unit-conversion type calculations by starting with one quantity and then multiplying it by one or more “factors” (which I call “this-for-that”s) to get the units to “work out” (some units appear and other ones cancel out) Make absolutely sure that the “factors” you
construct are correct!5
See Chalkboard Presentation
• Make Conversion factors VISUAL
• Give them MEANING– 1 ft = 12 in– 1 km = 0.62137 mi– 1 J = 9.4781 x 10-4 BTU
• Which is bigger: a foot or an inch?
• a J or a BTU?
• a km or a mi?
6
Conversion Factors
• If 12 in = 1 ft, then
– 12 inches needed to equal ONE foot, so a foot is larger
– How many times larger? 12 times larger– “feet” are the “big guys” and “inches” are the
little guys.
1 ft
1 in

Dimensional Analysis can be used to do calculations that are not true “conversions”
• Use density (g/mL) with grams to calculate “mL”
• Use “mi/gal” (mpg) with “gallons” to calculate “miles” (how far you can go)
• These are not strictly “conversions” because the type of physical quantity (i.e., length, mass, etc.) is changing– But principle is the same
8
Helpful Hints• If you are ASKED for an “amount”, then START with an
amount and multiply by conversion factors (“this for thats”) until you reach your goal
• If you are ASKED for a “this for that”, then START with one (and multiply by this for thats until you reach goal)
• Make absolutely certain that your “conversion factors” are correct! – You cannot make up “random” factors just because that what
appears to be needed to cancel things out!
• Check to see if your answer makes reasonable sense! (Who are the “big guys”/”little guys”?)
• Online resource with examples: http://www.alysion.org/dimensional/fun.htm

Example—Price of Gas in Poland?
• What is the price in US dollars (USD) per gallon?
• Exchange rate:3.17 zł = 1 USD
(8/28/13)
• 1 gal = 3.785 L
• 1 dm3 = 1 L
10
Classification of Matter
• NOTE: Tro discusses classification of matter in Ch. 1 blending theory with law/observation!– This assumes some info from Ch. 2
• I will take an approach that highlights the difference between the “what happens?” and “why it happens” realms.

Classification of Matter
• What is chemical change?– A process in which certain substances are
converted into NEW SUBSTANCES• If NEW substances are made, then chemistry
(chemical change) occurred
– What is a “substance”?• Not just any old thing!! In science, very specifically
defined
13
Two kinds of definition
• “Operational”– Based on observations– Practical– in the real world (lab)– “I know it when I see
it”– (How things behave)
• “Conceptual”– Uses theory/model– It’s in your head– (Why things behave
the way they do)
14
Example: Substance
• Operational– A type of matter which cannot be separated (turned)
into new substances physically (by physical method)*– A type of matter which has a fixed composition and
specific properties
• Physical method (separation): process that does not result in making new substances!e.g., Breaking, grinding, boiling, evaporating,
freezing, mixing (pictures later)
15
Two Kinds of (Pure) Substance
• One kind can be separated chemically (energy added, away from other substances) into new substances– “Compound”
• One kind cannot be separated chemically into new substances– “Element”
• The “substances” that a compound can be “separated into” are “elements”!
16
Law of Definite Proportion (same as “fixed composition”)
• See overhead (now next slide)
• Applies to any compound
• No matter where a sample of carbon dioxide comes from or how much you start with, when it is chemically “separated” into carbon and oxygen (elements), the ratio of mass of C to O is always the same.
17
Reminder (Data illustrating the Law of Definite Proportion)
For a compound (red powder, here):
The (best estimate for the) mass ratio of Hg : O is 12.6 (i.e., 12.6 g Hg / 1 g O) in any sample of this compound.
Mass ratio of Hg : O 12.568… 12.6101… 12.575
18
Why? Atomic Hypotheses (Postulates) (Dalton, 1808; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atomic_theory)
• Assume a sample of an element is composed of only one kind of “atom” (nanoscopic entity)– All C atoms are identical; All O atoms are identical
(But a C atom has a different mass than an O atom)
• Assume a sample of a compound is composed of more than one kind of atom (in a fixed ratio)
• Assume atoms remain unaltered during chemical change; Atoms merely REARRANGE
• If these are all so, a fixed mass ratio upon separation follows logically / can be “derived” mathematically (i.e., this model explains the Law of Definite Proportion) 19
Example: Substance
• Operational– A type of matter which
cannot be separated (turned) into new substances by physical means
– A type of matter which has a fixed composition and specific properties
• Conceptual– A type of matter
composed of identical nanoscopic entities (or a fixed ratio of entities):
• Atoms• Molecules• Ions (fixed ratio of)
– Definition is meaningless without Atomic Theory!!
21
Example: Physical States
• Operational– Solid: (each piece)
has fixed shape and fixed volume
– Liquid: has fixed volume, but no fixed shape
– Gas: assumes the volume and shape of the container it is in (neither fixed)
• Conceptual– Solid: basic
nanoscopic units (entities) are “touching” and not free to move around
– Liquid: basic “entities” are “touching” but are free to move around
– Gas: basic ‘entities” are separate from one another (spread out)
