Physical PropertiesKnowledge of physical properties allow substances to be observed and tested without changing the nature of the substance (chemical composition)

Example: melting ice and boiling water still leaves you with H2OAlso salt and water are easily mixed and separated and the salt and water still retain their physical characteristics.

Alloys (see handout) and solutions (salt water; air)

Other physical mixtures from the lab….Physical mixtures are characteristically non-uniform

Chemical PropertiesThese properties require the substance to “react” or be inherently altered so that it is different after the change.

Consider the “Observation Lab” reactionsAll required the combination of different substances such that physical properties after the change were very different than those before the change.Chemical mixtures (compounds) are always uniform

Mixture Separation LabThe mysterious mixture was separated by taking advantage of the physical properties of the components of the mixture.Iron - magneticIodine – sublimed and deposited on the cold surfaceSand – did not dissolve in water (insoluble) and particles were large enough to be trapped by the filter paperSalts – were all soluble and passed through the filter paper and were collected by rapid evaporation.

Based on your collected masses, calculate the percent composition of your mixture.

Magnetic material:Sublimed material:Filtered material:Dissolved material:Hint: divide your individual masses by the original

mass of your mixture and multiply by 100!You’re welcome!

Mixture Separation Lab Analysis

Compare your data to the data of classmates and the “true” values. What do you think about the data? Is it reliable (can we be confident that the data can be trusted?)

Explain the differences by identifying possible errors (human error is not allowed – be more specific) as you carried out the lab.

Identify the components of the mixture and the properties used to separate the mixture.

Uncertainty in Measurement?

• Science may claim to be a search for “truth”, but never claims to be 100% confident that it knows the “facts”.

• Why not?• Where have scientists been mistaken?• Is it a question of scale? How big or

small your frame of reference is?

Uncertainty in Measurement• Estimation and Error

– Significant Figures– Reliability - Accuracy and Precision

Is this number accurate? Is it precise?

Is it the same as 2 g? 2.2 g? 2.24 g? 2.240 g? Which measurements are the most

precise? Most accurate?

The “Dart Board” on a line

• Below is the range of possible values with the “bullseye” or “true” value located somewhere amidst the data.

X precise? X precise?N = 7Mean = 2.51 Median = 2.5

Uncertainty in MeasurementWhen enough measurements are made

there will be values that are larger and smaller than the mean. Those that are too far away from the other values, skew the mean and affect our understanding of the “truth”

All measurements are done by humans and are reflective of how confident the scientist is in their measurement tool and technique.

Every measurement is an “estimate”.

Depending on your measurement device you will not be 100% certain about the quantity being measured.

There are always limitations in themeasuring equipmentand in the ability of theperson using the equipment.

Measured quantities are properly reported in such a way that only the last digit is uncertain.

All digits of a measuredquantity, including the uncertain one, are calledsignificant figures.

The greater the numberof significant figures,the greater the implied certainty of the measurement.

This scale can reportonly 2significant figures.

The firstmeasured #is certainly 2.

The second #must beestimated.

The readingcould bereported as28 or 29...

But it could not be reported as28.5

A reading of 28.5 implies that oneswere measured and tenths estimated.

What are the correct measurements?

Rounding Rules - Wrong• When you round off, you change the value of the

number, unless you round off a zero. Remember that "rounding off" a zero does not change the value of the number being rounded.

• Following the old rules, you can round a number down in value four times (rounding with one, two, three, four) compared to rounding it upwards five times (five, six, seven, eight, nine).

• This cannot be allowed if we are to determine the TRUTH

Rounding Rules Wrong

• On average you would be changing values in the sample downwards 4/9ths of the time, compared to changing values in the sample upward 5/9ths of the time.

• This means the average of the values AFTER rounding would be greater than the average of the values BEFORE rounding.

• This is not acceptable as we search for the truth.

New Rules – Say What?

• If it is less than 5, drop it and all the figures to the right of it.

• If it is more than 5, increase by 1 the number to be rounded, that is, the preceding figure.

• If it is 5, round the number so that it will be even. Keep in mind that zero is considered to be even when rounding off.

CooCooForCocoaSpark sorry for all the text!• The study was published in Chemistry Central Journal.• Comparing the antioxidants in chocolate vs. the so-called super-fruits –

acai berries, blueberries, cranberries, researchers at the Hershey Center for Health & Nutrition found that there was a greater antioxidant capacity per gram in cocoa powder than in fruit powders. Antioxidants inhibit the oxidation of cell molecules that turn into free radicals.

• Polyphenols and flavonols are the two main groups of antioxidants. Foods high in polyphenols and flavonols are the super foods and now cocoa powder has been added to this list.

While the flavonol content in most fruit powders averaged at less than 10 milligrams per gram of powder, it was found to be 30.1 milligram for one gram of cocoa powder. Per serving of 40 grams of dark chocolate had more than 500 milligrams of flavonols, cocoa powder with 400 milligrams and the fruit juices at one cup (220g) per serving, had less than 200 milligrams of flavonols. Convert each of these ratios to percent values so they can be more easily compared.

1,000 milligrams of polyphenol content was found in each serving of dark chocolate (40 grams). What is percent of dark chocolate is polyphenol?

• The flavonol content of cocoa powder was found to be higher than all of the fruit powders.

• Similar results were found when they compared dark chocolate and cocoa to fruit juices.

• The researchers studied the antioxidant activity for a 40 gram serving of dark chocolate and cocoa powder as compared with a one cup serving of fruit juice. With the exception of pomegranate juice, the dark chocolate showed significantly higher antioxidant activity per serving than the other fruit juices.

• Researchers have noted that the dark chocolate and cocoa powder used in the study contained natural or non-alkalized cocoa. Alkalization improves the taste, color and dispersion properties of the cocoa but destroys the polyphenolic compounds it contains. Bad news for hot chocolate lovers, though, is that their drink of choice offers little in the way of antioxidants (due to the way it's processed).

• About 99.7% lie within three standard deviations.

• This is known as the "68-95-99.7 rule" or the "empirical rule." 2.1

• Mean = 1.015 g/cm3 with estimated deviation of 0.006 g/cm3

• Density = 1.015(6) g/cm3

• Density is 1.015 +/- 0.006 at 95% confidence limit• This is how science can tell if it is “right” or if it has

found the “truth” in nature.

Density Spark• An unknown metal was found to have a mass of 3.54 grams

and displaced 0.53 mL of water what is the density of the metal?

Known Densities (g/mL)Tellurium has a density of 6.4

Nickel has a density of 8.9Cerium has a density of 6.657

– What is the identity of the metal?– What is your percent error?– Is the data accurate?– Is it precise?– Where might errors exist in the data?Calculating density makes me really

happy!

DANG DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS• The diameter of a palladium atom is 140 picometers; the

picometer is equal to 1 x 10-12 m; the equatorial diameter of the Earth is 40 075.02 km– How many Palladium atoms would it take to encircle the Earth at the Equator?– If one palladium atom weighs 1.77 x 10-22 g, then what is the mass of the

“palladium ring” circling the Earth?

• In America, a car’s gas efficiency is measured in miles per gallon. In Europe, it is measured in km/L. If your car’s gas mileage is 40.0 mi/gal, how many liters of would you need to complete a 142 km trip? – (1 km = 0.6214 miles; 1 gallon = 3.7884 L)

Black Hole Density If the mass of the sun (m = 2 x 1033 g) were to collapse into a “spherical” black hole with a radius of 300 cm, then what is the density of the black hole? (Vsphere

= 4/3ér3)

A Volkswagen Beetle has a mass of 802 000 g. How many beetles would it take to equal this black hole sun of relative size?

Phosphaturia is a medical condition of too much phosphorus in your urine. It can be a symptom of a kidney dysfunction. If 1 gallon of urine (density = 1.035 g/mL) produced 6.5 grams of phosphorus, then what is the percent concentration of phosphorus in the urine?(1 gallon = 3.78 L)

A number of these stars exploded as supernovae, producing black holes. Some of these, thought to weigh 10 to 20

times as much as the sun, shine brightly in X-rays (pink blobs) as they rob matter from companion stars.

Combining images from the Hubble Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory, NASA offers a glimpse into a dazzling ring of black holes 430 million light years from Earth.

The image shows two galaxies, known collectively as Arp 147, that collided in the past, triggering a wave of star formation (blue ring in galaxy at right).

Measurement InvestigationsVerify the density of distilled water.What is the density of hot water?What is the density of cold water?Determine the density of other liquids like tap water,

saltwater, or ethanol.Determine the density of a known metal.Determine the density of a penny*.Calculate the thickness of a penny.What is the thickness of aluminum foil?
