© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Introductory Chemistry Fourth Edition Nivaldo J. Tro Chapter 1 The Chemical World Dr. Sylvia Esjornson Southwestern Oklahoma State University Weatherford, OK © 2012 Pearson Education, Inc.
2.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Chemistry— The science that seeks to understand what matter does by studying what atoms and molecules do. Virtually everything around you is composed of chemicals.
3.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. 1.1 Soda Pop Fizz Soda pop is composed of tiny particles called atoms. Atoms are very small. A single drop of soda pop contains about one billion trillion (1 x 109 x 1012 ) atoms. Atoms and molecules are tiny particles that compose all common matter. Chemical bonds are the attachments that hold atoms together.
4.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. • The atoms are bound together to form several different types of molecules. • Soda pop is a mixture. • Carbon dioxide molecules • Water molecules • Other substances that contribute flavor and color
5.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. • Examine the opening figure of this chapter. • Identify the two molecules. • Identify each of the atoms within each molecule. • From a molecular point of view, explain why soda pop fizzes. • What molecules are inside the bubbles in a glass of soda pop?
6.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc.
7.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. A can of soda pop is a chemical mixture. Soda pop consists primarily of sugar, water, and carbon dioxide. The characteristics of sugar molecules produce the sensation of sweetness on our taste buds. The molecules important to fizzing are carbon dioxide and water.
8.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Carbon dioxide molecules consist of three atoms—one carbon and two oxygen—held together in a straight line by chemical bonds. The characteristics of carbon dioxide molecules make carbon dioxide a gas at room temperature.
9.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Water molecules consist of three atoms—one oxygen and two hydrogen—bonded together, but rather than being straight like carbon dioxide, the water molecule is bent. The characteristics of water molecules make water a liquid at room temperature.
10.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Under pressure, gaseous carbon dioxide molecules are forced to remain mixed with liquid water molecules in a sealed container. When the can is opened, the pressure is released, and carbon dioxide molecules escape out of the soda mixture, creating bubbles.
11.

Education, Inc. Bubbles in soda pop: Pockets of carbon dioxide gas molecules escaping out of liquid water.
12.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. 1.2 Chemicals Compose Ordinary Things There is nothing you can hold or touch that is not made of chemicals. Chemicals make up virtually everything we come into contact with.
13.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc.
14.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Some popular conceptions limit the idea of chemicals to dangerous poisons or pollutants.
15.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. • The air we breathe • The water we drink • Toothpaste, Tylenol, toilet paper Chemicals compose ordinary things, too.
16.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Chemistry explains the properties and behavior of chemicals by helping us understand the molecules that compose them.
17.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. 1.3 All Things Are Made of Atoms and Molecules • The most important idea in all of human knowledge: All things are made of atoms. • Richard Feynman (1918–1988), Nobel Prize–winning physicist and popular professor at California Institute of Technology
18.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. • A good, simple definition of chemistry is the science that tries to understand how matter behaves by studying how atoms and molecules behave.
19.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. 1.4 The Scientific Method: How Chemists Think Ways to understand the world: Chemists use the scientific method—a way of learning that emphasizes observation and experimentation— to produce knowledge as the result of the senses.
20.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. • The scientific method stands in contrast to ancient Greek philosophies and medieval applications of them that emphasized reason to produce knowledge as the result of thoughts.
21.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. The Scientific Method • Observations involve measuring or observing some aspect of nature. • Hypotheses are tentative interpretations of the observations. • Laws summarize the results of a large number of observations. • Theories are models that explain and give the underlying causes for observations and laws.
22.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. The Scientific Method • Hypotheses, laws, and theories must be tested and validated by experiment. • If they are not confirmed, they are revised and tested through further experimentation.
23.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Observation • Some observations can be made with the naked eye. • Other observations emerge from experiments that rely on the use of sensitive instrumentation. • Observation usually involves the measurement or description of some aspect of the physical world.
24.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794), a French chemist, made an observation about the physical world. • Lavoisier measured the property of mass in the process of combustion. • The mass of an object is a measure of the quantity of matter within it. • Combustion means burning.
25.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Lavoisier burned substances in closed containers. • He measured the mass of each container and its contents before and after burning the substance inside, noting that there was no change in the mass during combustion.
26.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Observations lead scientists to formulate a hypothesis, a tentative interpretation or explanation of the observations. • A good hypothesis is falsifiable, which means that further testing has the potential to prove it wrong. • Hypotheses are tested by experiments, highly controlled observations designed to validate or invalidate hypotheses. • The results of an experiment may confirm a hypothesis or show it to be mistaken in some way. • The hypothesis may have to be modified or discarded and replaced by an alternative. • The new or revised hypothesis must also be tested through further experimentation.
27.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. A number of similar observations lead to the development of a scientific law, a brief statement that synthesizes past observations and predicts future ones. • Lavoisier developed the law of conservation of mass, which states, “In a chemical reaction matter is neither created nor destroyed.”
28.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. One or more well-established hypotheses may form the basis for a scientific theory. • Theories provide a broader and deeper explanation for observations and laws. • They are models of the way nature is. • They often predict behavior that extends well beyond the observations and laws on which they are founded.
29.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Classify each statement as an observation, a law, or a theory. (a) When a metal is burned in a closed container, the mass of the container and its contents does not change. (b) Matter is made of atoms. (c) Matter is conserved in chemical reactions. (d) When wood is burned in a closed container, its mass does not change.
30.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Figure 1.2 The scientific method
31.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Theories are tested and validated by experiments. • If a law, hypothesis, or theory is inconsistent with the findings of an experiment, it must be revised and new experiments must be conducted to test the revisions. • Over time, poor theories are eliminated and good theories—those consistent with experiments—remain.
32.
© 2012 Pearson
Education, Inc. Example: The atomic theory of John Dalton (1766–1844) • Dalton explained the law of conservation of mass by proposing that all matter was composed of small, indestructible particles called atoms. • Dalton’s theory was a model of the physical world—it went beyond the laws and observations of the time to explain these laws and observations.
