Branches of Chemistry
Organic Chemistry study of carbon and its
compounds; the study of the chemistry of life
Inorganic Chemistry - study of compounds
not containing carbon
Biochemistry study of chemical processes
that occur inside a living organism
Analytical Chemistry study of the of
quantitative/qualitative analysis of matter
Physical Chemistry application of the
methods of physics to the study of chemical
systems 5
The scientific method is a systematic
approach to research.
tested modified
6
A law is a concise statement of a relationship
between phenomena that is always the same
under the same conditions.
Force = mass x acceleration
Atomic Theory
7
Chemistry is the study of matter and the
changes it undergoes.
Matter is anything that occupies space and
has mass.
A substance is a form of matter that has a
definite composition and distinct properties.
gold ingots 8
liquid nitrogen silicon crystals
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
cement,
iron filings in sand
9
Physical means can be used to separate a mixture
into its pure components.
magnet
10
distillation
An element is a substance that cannot be
separated into simpler substances by chemical
means.
114 elements have been identified
82 elements occur naturally on Earth
gold, aluminum, lead, oxygen, carbon, sulfur

Types of Changes
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
16
Extensive and Intensive Properties
An extensive property of a material depends upon
how much matter is being considered.
mass
length
volume

Volume SI derived unit for volume is cubic meter (m3)
1 cm3 = (1 x 10-2 m)3 = 1 x 10-6 m3
1 dm3 = (1 x 10-1 m)3 = 1 x 10-3 m3
1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm3 = 1 dm3
1 mL = 1 cm3
20
Density SI derived unit for density is kg/m3
1 g/cm3 = 1 g/mL = 1000 kg/m3

Example 1.1
K = 0C + 273.15
273.15 K = 0 0C
373.15 K = 100 0C
0F = 9 x 0C + 32

32 0F = 0 0C
212 0F = 100 0C

Example 1.3
(a) Solder is an alloy made of tin and lead that is used in electronic circuits.
A certain solder has a melting point of 224C. What is its melting point
in degrees Fahrenheit?
(b) Helium has the lowest boiling point of all the elements at -452F.
Convert this temperature to degrees Celsius.
(c) Mercury, the only metal that exists as a liquid at room temperature, melts
at 238.9C. Convert its melting point to kelvins.
Example 1.3
Solution These three parts require that we carry out
temperature conversions, so we need Equations (1.2), (1.3),
and (1.4). Keep in mind that the lowest temperature on the
Kelvin scale is zero (0 K); therefore, it can never be negative.
Addition or Subtraction
1. Write each quantity with 4.31 x 104 + 3.9 x 103 =
the same exponent n
2. Combine N1 and N2 4.31 x 104 + 0.39 x 104 =
3. The exponent, n, remains 4.70 x 104
the same

Scientific Notation
Multiplication
(4.0 x 10-5) x (7.0 x 103) =
1. Multiply N1 and N2
(4.0 x 7.0) x (10-5+3) =
2. Add exponents n1 and n2
28 x 10-2 =
2.8 x 10-1

Significant Figures
Any digit that is not zero is significant
1.234 kg 4 significant figures
Zeros between nonzero digits are significant
606 m 3 significant figures
Zeros to the left of the first nonzero digit are not significant
0.08 L 1 significant figure
If a number is greater than 1, then all zeros to the right of the
decimal point are significant
2.0 mg 2 significant figures
If a number is less than 1, then only the zeros that are at the
end and in the middle of the number are significant
0.00420 g 3 significant figures

Example 1.4
Determine the number of significant figures in the following
measurements:
(a) 478 cm
(b) 6.01 g
(c) 0.825 m
(d) 0.043 kg
(f) 7000 mL

Significant Figures
Multiplication or Division
The number of significant figures in the result is set by the original
number that has the smallest number of significant figures.
4.51 x 3.6666 = 16.536366 = 16.5

Assuming that the lead is pure graphite, you can calculate the
mass of the lead from the volume using the density of graphite
given in Table 1.4.
