It might be hard but please don t run, Cause chemistry is super fun, Just come to class, And know your math, And you will learn quite fast. - Ben Nichols Learning Targets: Students should be able to identify and use glassware properly in the lab. Students should be able to read a Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the proper procedures for handling, storing, and disposing of chemicals. Students should be able to safely and effectively use a Bunsen Burner. Students should know and follow proper safety precautions in the lab. Students should be able to locate and properly use safety equipment in the lab. Students should be able to make qualitative and quantitative observations. Honors Chemistry Chapter 1 Intro/Safety/Elements Page 1
2 What is science? What is chemistry? Branches of Chemistry There are at least 25 specialty areas of chemistry, but each one can be classified under one of the following six major divisions or branches of chemistry: 1. Organic chemistry: the study of most carbon-containing substance Example: 2. Inorganic chemistry: the study of all substances not classified as organic, mainly those that do not contain carbon Example: 3. Analytical chemistry: the study of the identification of the components and composition of materials Example: 4. Physical chemistry: the study of the properties, changes, and relationships between energy and matter at the atomic scale Example: 5. Biochemistry: the study of substances and processes occurring in living things Example: 6. Theoretical chemistry: use of math and computers to understand chemical behaviors and design new compounds Example: Obviously, these divisions will often overlap Types of Research 1. Basic research is done to increase knowledge Example: Examine all the reactions involving water 2. Applied research is done to solve a problem Example: Investigate the side effects to a new drug 3. Technological development is done to improve quality of life Not research itself, but, rather, the outcome of research Often lags behind the basic research done on the same substance Example: The creation of a renewable fuel source for home heating Technology is the application of knowledge (usually scientific) for practical purposes. Honors Chemistry Chapter 1 Intro/Safety/Elements Page 2
3 Model - commonly used to help visualize atoms and molecules. Chemists models of atoms and molecules are much larger than the real thing. Models can be mathematical or even imaginary. Qualitative and Quantitative observations Inference and Observation Variables The scientific method often employs the use of variables to carry out a particular study. There are two types of variables: The independent variable is the variable that is being manipulated (changed) in the procedure. (The cause) The dependent variable is the variable (thing) that is being affected by the manipulation of the independent variable (The effect) A control (trial) is often used as a comparison to the independent variable. This serves as the normal situation for a given sample or situation. NOTE: When describing variables, it is important to be specific. For example, if the amount of water is changed, the independent variable is mass of water or volume of water. If the color of water is changed, the independent variable would be color of water, etc. Example: Enrique and Lacey are testing soil for contamination outside a nuclear power plant. They test the concentrations of contaminants at different distances from the plant. 1. What is the independent variable? 2. What is the dependent variable? 3. What are some factors that Enrique and Lacey will keep constant? Honors Chemistry Chapter 1 Intro/Safety/Elements Page 3
4 Graphing and Data Analysis Graphs are a useful tool for displaying scientific data because they show relationships among variables in a compact, visual form. You may have used x-y graphs, or Cartesian graphs, in your math classes. Below are the four basic steps to constructing a graph from data in the chemistry lab. 1. Determining the variable In an experiment, the independent variable is the property that is under control and can be varied. The dependent variable is the property that is measured, observed, counted, or found. The independent variable is usually, but not always, assigned to be the x value, and the dependent variable is usually assigned to be the y value. If the study involves a measurement as a function of time, time is plotted on the x axis. 2. Scaling the axes The scale of the axes includes all data points and allows as much room as possible on both axes. Each axis should be evenly divided with plenty of space between divisions, making the graph easy to read and understand. The divisions should be labeled in multiple units of (i.e. 1, 2, 5, 10, etc.). Each axis should also be labeled with a description of what it represents and the units of measurement. 3. Plotting the data If the plotted data points roughly form a straight line, use a transparent ruler to draw a line that best represents the data points. This is known as the best-fit line. If the points do not form a straight line but appear to form a curve, lightly sketch the curve with a pencil, connecting all the data points. 4. Titling your graph It is important to add a title to the top of your graph, so that anyone looking at the graph can easily identify its purpose. Most of the time the title of the graph is y vs. x. Example: Your school is putting on a play. To raise money for the event, tickets for the play are being sold for $3.00 each. The chart below shows how much money will be made from selling certain numbers of tickets. Honors Chemistry Chapter 1 Intro/Safety/Elements Page 4
5 Graphs show the relationship between x and y variables. If data forms a straight line when plotted, then x and y have a linear relationship. This line can be described by the general mathematical equation y = mx + b where m is the slope of the line and b is a constant. Linear data is said to be directly proportional when dividing one variable by the other gives a constant value. This means that as one variable changes, the other changes at the same rate Not all data forms a straight line when graphed; your graph may show a curve. If the curve drops as you move from left to right, and dividing one variable by the other gives a constant reciprocal value, then your graph has an inverse relationship. Quite often, you will need to determine whether or not a graph expresses a linear relationship. To do this you must draw what is known as a "best fit" straight line, also called a "regression line". The purpose of the graph is to visually display relationships which may not be apparent from data tables. Experimental errors which are always present may obscure the relationships. The best fit line averages out the errors. Without computer software, you will need to draw the lines "by hand" and then make a judgment about whether the points are "linear". Remember, sometimes a graph represents neither a direct nor an inverse of relationship, but, rather, simply traces the effect of x on y. Many types of graphs exist: line graphs, bar graphs, pie charts, histograms, etc. In order to display the results of the experiment appropriately, the right type of graph should be used. A line graph is used when the independent variable changes in regular increments and must be placed in a specific order. Points are plotted and then connected. A bar graph is used when the independent variables can be placed in any order. A histogram is a type of bar graph used when the data involves the frequency of occurrence.
