Inspire Chemistry   Chapter 1 (p. 1-18)  Unit 1 Module 1

Problems

Density=Mass/Volume

 

Labels

Density=g/ml or g/cm3

Mass=grams

Volume=ml or cm3

 

What is the density if 100grams of the substance occupies a space of 20 ml?

 

Density=Mass/Volume or D=m/v

D= 100 g/20 ml

D=5g/ml

 

 

Cover the letter you are looking for and the other two letters will be the formula.

Temperature conversions

•      oF=(?oC)9/5+32

 

•      oC=(?oF-32)5/9

 

K= oC + 273

 

oC =K- 273

*Hint: The letters that come later in the alphabet are larger numbers.

If left up to me this is down right confusing!

*When you cross the line below each m/M you move three spots.**

*If there is only one letter, that is the unit!!

 

  Chemistry

  the study of matter and the changes that it undergoes

 

Science

 the use of evidence to construct testable explanations and predictions of natural phenomena, as well as, the knowledge generated through this process.

(Use test to explain and predict phenomena to gain knowledge.)

 

  Hypothesis

  a testable explanation of a situation or phenomena

 

  Theory

  an explanation of a natural phenomenon based on many observations and investigations over time

 

   Scientific law

  a relationship in nature that is supported by many experiments

 

  Pure research

  used to gain knowledge for the sake of knowledge itself

 

  Applied research

  used to solve a specific problem

 

  Base unit

  a defined unit in a system of measurement that is based on an object or event in the physical world

 

  Second

  the SI base unit for time

 

  Meter

  the SI unit for length

 

  Kilogram

  the SI base unit for mass

 

  Kelvin

  the SI base unit for temperature

 

Derived unit

a unit that is defined by a combination of base units

 

 

 

Mass=The amount of matter in the  substance.

 

Weight= The gravitational pull on the matter.

 

Model= Visual, verbal, or mathematical explanation of a concept or idea.

*Models can be larger, smaller, or the same size as the object they represent.

 

*Bias= Conclusion based on previous thoughts or experiences instead of data.

 

 

SCIENTIFIC METHOD = A systematic  approach to the solution of a problems.

1.    OBSERVATION =

The use of one or more of the five senses to perceive an object or event.

2.    *COLLECTING DATA =

 Gathering and recording information based on observation.

 

A)                 QUALITATIVE DATA(opinion) = Data obtained by the senses.

B)                  QUANTITIVE DATA = Data dealing with numbers.

What do you see?

 

3.          *ORGANIZING DATA =

Placing data in a logical order. (Graphs, charts, tables, or maps).

4.          *CLASSIFYING –

A process of grouping objects, organisms, or phenomena into established schemes.

5.          HYPOTHESIZING =

A process of forming a testable statement.

          HYPOTHESIS = “Educated guess”.

6.          *PREDICTING –

A statement in advance, based on data.

          (“If-then” statement.”)

7.          EXPERIMENTING – (experiment)

A process of testing a hypothesis or prediction by carrying out data gathering procedures.

 

CONTROLLED EXPERIMENT =

A type of experiment in which you have a control group and an experiment group that are IDENTICAL, except one area.

 

a.     INDEPENDENT VARIABLE = What you change.

The factor in a controlled experiment that is different.

b.    DEPENDENT VARIABLE = What you measure.

The factor that is different due to the independent variable.

Control= A standard for comparison.

 

8.     *INFERRING =

The process of drawing conclusions on the basis of facts instead of direct perception.

9.     *MODELING =

The process of constructing a representation of an object, system, or idea. **A model may be larger, smaller, or the same size as the object(s) it (they ) represent.**

10. *COMMUNICATION =

The sharing of information.
