In some instances, you will also be timed.

During Paper 1, you are not allowed a calculator. We will prepare for this during class.

Group 4 ProjectThe group 4 project is a student generated, student planned, and student produced interdisciplinary research project uniting the three IB sciences offered at CGHS: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics.

You will be randomly grouped with other students from each discipline.

Group 4 is graded by the teacher and is part of the class grade. It is also included in your final IB score. More details on Group 4 to be announced at a future date with the other IB science teachers.

Pearson Baccalaureate Standard Level Chemistry2nd EditionCatrin Brown, Mike Ford

This is the book that will be used for the entirety of this course.

PDF versions of each chapter are available for you on the CGHS website.

Older version of the book are quite useful and will generally not hinder your understanding of the material.

Chemistry is the study of matter, so...what is matter?

Matter is anything that takes up space by having mass. So, what is mass? Mass is the result of being made up of atoms, or any of the subatomic particles: protons, neutrons, electrons.

How many types of atoms are there?According to the IUPAC, (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry), there are 118 elements currently known to us in our universe. Therefore there are 118 distinct types of atoms that can be found in our universe or synthesized.

Why do a block of gold and a piece of carbon that are the same size and

dimensions weigh differently?

Section 1.1

Elements are substances that cannot be broken down into a simpler component. If the atom of a particular element is broken down, then that particular element will no longer be represented.

The atom is the smallest unit that still represents an element.

Is the atom the smallest unit that represents matter? Is it a fundamental

particle?

Structure of the AtomProtons and neutrons are located in the nucleus, or center, of the atom. Protons and neutrons are roughly the same size in mass. Together, protons and neutrons are referred to as nucleons.

Electrons are much smaller than protons and neutrons, and are located a very far distance from the nucleus in an area referred to as the electron cloud which surrounds the nucleus.

Protons, neutrons, and electrons are all referred to as subatomic particles.

In fact, protons and neutrons are not fundamental either; they are made up of smaller particles called quarks. (In IB, we won’t be too concerned with quarks.)

The electron is considered to be a fundamental particle since we have yet to prove that the electron is made up of smaller particles.

The discovery of subatomic particles,

the particles that make up the atom, proved

that the atom is not a fundamental particle.

Atomic number: based on the number of protons found in the nucleus. The atomic number helps identify which element an atom belongs to.

Periodic Table

Chemical symbol: each element is denoted by either one upper-case letter, or one upper-case letter followed by a lower-case letter.

Relative Atomic Mass (RAM): the average mass of an atom of that particular element.

States of MatterMatter exists in different forms depending mainly on two factors:

● Temperature● Pressure

States of matter are characterized by the different energies of the particles. This is known as kinetic energy theory of matter.

Element: an element is anything that consists of one type of atom.

*Molecule: the term molecule is often misused. The term “molecule” is also used to describe atoms that are bonded together; however, it is only used when the bonded atoms are nonmetal atoms! Also, the nonmetal atoms that are bonded together can be of the same element or be of different elements.

Compound: a substance made by chemically combining two or more elements. It has different properties from its constituent elements.

Matter is either pure or mixed. Pure matter is anything that is made up of only one type of atom (an element), or one type

of compound.Mixed matter is anything that is made up of different elements and compounds that are not

chemically bonded together.

Substances Mixtures

These are both umbrella terms for types of matter in our world.

A substance is anything with a uniform chemical composition, meaning it is made up of one type of atom (an element) or one type of compound ONLY (a compound).

A mixture is anything with a mixed, non-uniform chemical composition; mixtures contain more than one type of element and/or compound that are NOT chemically bonded to each other, and so retain their individual properties.

Matter can further be categorized as a substance or a mixture.

Element, Compound, or Mixture?

As was mentioned on the last slides, the chemical composition of a mixture is NOT uniform. Mixtures are made up of many substances (elements, & compounds) in which no chemical combination has occurred- simply a physical combination has occurred.

However, in order to determine whether a mixture is homogeneous or heterogeneous, you must look at its PHYSICAL appearance.

If it physically looks uniform throughout, then it is homogeneous. Homogeneous mixtures are also called solutions.

If it physically looks variable throughout (i.e. if it has visible layers in it, visible particles in it, etc), then it is heterogeneous.

Chemical Formula

The chemical formula of a compound or molecule contain the chemical symbol(s) of the element(s) that are part of it, and also use subscripts to show the number of atoms of each type of element in the compound or molecule.

Chemical EquationsThe formation of a compound is an example of a chemical change. For example, in the synthesis of water, hydrogen atoms and oxygen atoms chemically separate from themselves and rearrange themselves to produce a new substance, water.

A chemical change occurs whenever the chemical composition of something is changed by means of an energy change. Remember that based on the Law of Conservation of Mass, matter can neither be created or destroyed, only rearranged!

Chemical reactions can be represented by chemical equations. A chemical equation displays how atoms are arranged prior to a chemical change, and how they are arranged after a chemical change.

Since atoms are neither created nor destroyed, only rearranged, during a chemical reaction, the total number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of a chemical equation. Only when the number of atoms of each element is equal on both sides of an equation is the equation correct: this means it is balanced.

We use coefficients to help us balance equations. Coefficients are the numbers in front of each reactant and product. If there is no coefficient written, then the coefficient for that substance is 1. You do not need to write the number 1 in this case.

Coefficients give information on the molar ratio between all the substances in an equation, meaning they express “moles”. In the example above, two moles of hydrogen gas react with one mole of oxygen gas to produce two moles of water.

Coefficient

Balancing Chemical EquationsExample (from pg. 7)Write an equation for the reaction of thermal decomposition of sodium hydrogencarbonate (NaHCO3), into sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), water (H2O), and

carbon dioxide (CO2).

REMEMBER -when you are balancing an equation, you may alter the coefficient BUT NEVER THE SUBSCRIPT of a chemical formula.

-a correctly balanced equation has all coefficients in SIMPLEST FORM.

-a substance with a “blank” coefficient has a coefficient of 1.

Balancing Chemical EquationsExampleWhat is the coefficient for O2(g) when the equation below is balanced?

__C3H8(g) + __O2(g) → __CO2(g) + __H2O(g)

Homework:1. Read the remaining slides from this slideshow (available on CGHS website) on scientific notation and significant figures, and complete the Significant Figures Worksheet (you may print and write on this sheet or just answer on a separate sheet of paper).

2. Bring a calculator next class. A 4-function calculator is fine for now.

Quantitative ChemistryCalculation and quantitative material lends to a large portion of what will be covered in IB Chemistry. It is essential in almost every topic of this curriculum for you to have a basic knowledge of algebra, and confidence in applying that knowledge.

In fact, of all the topics, topic 1 will take the most time to cover.

Today we will refresh on:-Scientific Notation-Significant Figures

Scientific Notation

Six hundred two sextillion atoms are in a single gram of hydrogen! This is the

written number:

602,000,000,000,000,000,000,000

This is a very large number to work with. We can write this number and work with

this number more simply in scientific notation:

6.02 x 10²³

Scientific Notation The coefficient must be greater than or equal to 1 and less than 10, and must contain all the significant digits in the number.

● 12.3 x 10^4 is not in correct scientific notation, since the coefficient is greater than 10.

● 0.123 x 10^4 is also not in correct scientific notation, since the coefficient is less than 1.

● The base is always 10.

The exponent is the number of places the decimal was moved to obtain the coefficient.A positive exponent expresses places to the right of the decimal. A negative exponent expresses places to the left of the decimal.

Scientific Notation6.02 x 10²³

A positive exponent indicates a number greater than 10, and also indicates how many times the coefficient must be multiplied by 10.

The positive exponent lets how know how many times the decimal point should move to the right in order to write the number in standard notation.

8 x 10^-6

A negative exponent indicates a number that is less than 1, and also indicates how many times the coefficient must be divided by 10. The negative exponent lets how

know how many times the decimal point should move to the left in order to write the number in standard notation.

Coefficient Exponent

Scientific NotationExamples:1) Express 503,000,000 in scientific notation.

2) Express 9.42 x 10^-7 in standard notation.

3) Express 7.452 x 10^5 in standard notation.

Significant FiguresSignificant figures are important when gathering, working with, and reporting

measurements. Measured numbers can be pretty unhelpful if you are not

sure how precise they are- significant figures help us keep our

measurements as precise as possible!

1. All non-zero digits are significant.For example: 123. (3 sig figs)

2. Zeros between non-zero digits are significant.For example: 12.507 (5 sig figs)

3. Zeros to the left of the first non-zero digit are not significant.For example: 1.02 (3 sig figs) 0.12 (2 sig figs) 0.012 (2 sig figs)

4. If a number ends in zeros to the right of the decimal point, those zeroes are significant.

For example: 2.0 (2 sig figs) 2.00 (3 sig figs) {This signifies greater accuracy.}

These rules apply to measured quantities which are non-exact. If you are told that a number is exact then there is no uncertainty; i.e., the number is good to an infinite

number of sig figs. Exact integers fall in this category.
