Course Content:

Intro.

Chemistry is the study of matter (properties, composition, behaviour)

It requires observations.  (details!, specific,)

Properties:  melting and boiling points, hardness, colour, crystal structure, transparency (wavelength absorption), texture, solubility (solute dissolved in a solvent), phase (solid, liq, gas, aq,  gel, suspension (precipitate in a liquid) …

Atomic Theory: The smallest part of an element is an atom. Subatomic particles include the electron in a cloud around the massive nucleus made up of protons and neutrons.  Electron behaviour creates ions.   Positive and negative ions may combine to form ionic solids.  Metals form positive ions by losing electrons, non-metals form negative ions by gaining electrons.   Covalent compounds are formed when…two non-metals share their electrons.

Necessary Skills for Chemistry:

- measurement using equipment

- metric system and mathematics

- lab safety

- observation skills

UNIT I : REACTION KINETICS

Reactions mean:

-chemicals mix and react according to

-balanced formula using proper notation

-measurement of amounts in grams, mol

Kinetics:

- all particles are moving

- keeping track of energy (kJ- kilojoules)

- The rate of a reaction (  amount  /  time)

Examples of rates:  km/h,  words/min, $/kg, $/L

I.1 Representing Reaction Rates

Reference: Hebdon Unit 1, Nelson Ch.6 p.360  6.1 Rate of Reaction

- use the two unit system to write a math number and units

Hebdon Q. 1-5

Example  If I go 100 km  in 2 h, what is my average rate?

   100km/2 h =  50   km/h

What could we measure to describe a rate of reaction/

[mol/L]/s

mol/s

g/s

g/min

colour intensity/s

ºC/s
