Q

scientific notation: Measurement

A
  • QUANTITATIVE observation
  • uses numbers and units
  • numbers tells MAGNITUDE
  • unit tells SCALE (unit is slightly more important than #)
  • expresses a # as a product of a # between 1 and 10 and the appropriate power of 10
    ex: 93,000,000 = 9.3 x 10,000,000 = 9.3 x 10^7

Q

rules for sig figs

A

1) all nonzero integers ALWAYS count for significance ex: 3456 has 4 sig figs
2) zeros (3 classes of zeros)
a) leading zeros:NEVER count as sig figs
ex: 0.048 has 2 sig figs
b) captive zeros: ALWAYS count as sig figs ex: 16.07 has 4 sig figs
c) trailing zeros: only significant when # HAS A DECIMAL POINT
ex: 9.300 has 4 sig figs; 0.004020 has 4 sig figs; 150 has 2 sig figs

density

A

density =mass/volume or D=m/V

  • mass of substance per unit volume of substance
  • common units: g/mL or g/cm^3
  • when mass increases, density increases (directly proportional)
  • when mass is constant and volume decreases, density increases (inversely proportional)

Q

Which of the steps in the scientific method is missing from the following situation?
“Your instructor is holding a balloon and quickly inhales some of the gas inside the balloon. He then speaks and his voice changes to a high-pitched sound (and sounds quite funny!). He then asks you to determine what gas was inside the balloon that he inhaled. Based on your observations, you conclude that the gas must be helium.”

A

perform experiments

Q

What data would you need to estimate the money you would spend on gasoline to drive your car from New York to Los Angeles? Provide estimates of values and a sample calculation.

A

Distance between New York and Los Angeles is 2500 miles

compounds that contain ions: ionic compounds

A
  • ions combine to form ionic compounds
  • properties of ionic compounds:
    1. high melting pts
    2. conduct e-
    • if melted
    • if dissolved in water
  • transfer e-
  • strongest bonds
  • bond between a metal and a nonmetal
  • electrically neutral
  • charges on anions and cations in compound must = 0
181
Q

compounds that contain ions: formulas for ionic compounds

A
  • write cation element symbol followed by anion element symbol
  • # of cations and anions must be correct for their charges to = 0
  • if they don’t = 0, u must balance them
    ex: MgCl2 = Mg (2+) and 2( Cl(-1) ) -> Cl (-2) = compound net charge of 0 for MgCl2
