Summer Assignment 2015-2016

Honors Chemistry
Chapter 0
Objectives:
To provide students with the background knowledge and preliminary skills required for success in the
Ringgold High School Honors Academic Chemistry course.
Background:
Chemistry is defined as the branch of science that deals with the identification of substances of which
matter is composed. Through this course, you will investigate the properties of matter and the ways in
which matter interacts, combines, and changes through various laboratory experiments and reports,
inquiry/mastery/group learning activities, virtual simulations, and mathematical relationship
calculations.
To help you prepare for success in this fast paced and rigorous course, the following assignments will
guide you through some of the preliminary skills and knowledge of which you must possess before
beginning the school year. Please be aware that some of the material found in these assignments is a
review of topics covered in previous high school science and math courses. Some of the concepts
presented however, may be new and challenging. Work through ALL questions and use the given notes,
tutorials, and videos to help you through the material. All videos are posted to the Summer
Assignment page on the honors chemistry course website.
Ringgold School Districts Science Department has a strong focus on ACADEMIC INTEGRITY. Through
this course, you are expected to do the same. Academic misconduct is any attempt by a student to gain
an academic advantage, or to help others do so, through dishonest actions. All work is expected to be
your own. You are NOT permitted to complete these assignments with the help of anyone. Any
suspicion of academic misconduct will result in a FAILING GRADE on the entire summer assignment.

Slope: the formula for the straight line going through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by:

m=

rise
run

y
x

y2 y1
x2 x1

y-axis: Dependent Variable (directly affected by the independent variable)

x-Axis: Independent Variable (controlled by the experimenter)
If time or volume is one of your variables, they will almost always be put on the x-axis.
Much of the data that you will collect is quantitative, and there are times when data should be displayed in
a graph, for easy analysis. You may be asked to use graph paper, or a computer program, such as Microsoft
Excel.
However you construct your graph, the following rules will always remain true:
Temperature (oC)
25.94
47.32
73.26
108.64

Pressure (kPa)
99.9
102.81
119.82
145.04

Example Data for CO2 gas:

122.79
151.09
184.11
269.02

138.14
147.04
157.78
187.12

1. Include a descriptive title at the top of the graph. This should clearly tell what your graph is about.
It must be concise and to the point.
* In this class, the title of your graphs will include both variables being investigated.
Example: Relationship between pressure and temperature for CO 2 gas
2. Label each axis. Give each axis a title AND include units.
* Independent variable on the x-axis. Example: Temperature (C)
* Dependent variable on the y-axis.. Example: Pressure (kPa)
3. Make the origin a point on the graph if it is a realistic data point. That is, unless your data makes
this unrealistic.
Example: Looking at the graph below, the data does not go through the origin so (0 C,0 kPa) will
NOT be a point for the data.
4. Never use loose leaf or blank paper. In order for your graph to be useful, the intervals must be
uniform. Free-hand graphs are inaccurate and useless.
* Use graph paper or a computer program every time.
5. USE THE ENTIRE GRAPH Select intervals that will show as much detail as possible, while still
allowing the graph to fit in the allotted space.
* To figure out how to scale your graph, you must first determine the largest and smallest
variables (range) on each axis.
* Then you must determine how much room you have on each axis.
*Then use the following equation:

*scale = max value min value

* Round answer up to a whole number.
# of boxes
* Each interval or box must represent the same number of units.
6. Do not JUST connect the dots
* Plot your points and THEN draw a best-fit curve or line with a ruler or the graphing
program.
* The line of best fit is the line that comes the closest to the largest number of data
points.
* Use a clear ruler to draw the line and move it around until you find a place where
approximately half the points are on each side of the line.
Example: A BAD best-fit line:

Example: A GOOD best-fit line:

7. Extend your best-fit line to cross both axes. Important information can be predicted
based on the intersecting points.
* For the example the line would have to be extended to both the x-axis and y-axis.
8. FOR A HANDDRAWN GRAPH (NOT FOR EXCEL), when you must determine the slope of
a line, circle the two points that appear to lie ON THE LINE. Next to these points list the
coordinates of these points.

9. FOR A HANDDRAWN GRAPH (NOT FOR EXCEL), using the selected points calculate the
slope. Include units in your calculation AND your answer for slope.
Example:

m=
m=

Y2 Y1

X2 X1
157.78kPa - 119.82kPa
184.11oC - 73.26oC

m = 0.3424kPa /oC
10. DO NOT do steps 8-9 for Excel Graphs. For Excel graphs, you will follow the How to
use Excel Notes directions. Include an equation for the line which is calculated using the
program.
11. Give the meaning of the slope relationship in a sentence.
Pressure is directly proportional temperature. As the pressure increases by 0.3424 kPa, the
temperature increases by 1C. *See below Graphical Methods and Analysis Notes for other
relationships.
Graphical Methods and Analysis Notes
A graph is one of the most effective representations of the relationship between two variables.
The independent variable (one controlled by the experimenter) is usually placed on the x-axis.
The dependent variable (one that responds to changes in the independent variable) is usually
placed on the y-axis. It is important for you to be able interpret a graphical relationship and
express it in a written statement and by means of an algebraic expression.

When you state the relationship, tell how y depends on x ( e.g., as x increases, y ).
*For additional help with graphing, watch the following links:

Graphing data by spreadsheet- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvYvHU83_6Y
How to use Excel Notes *Directions are for version 2003.
To show a linear relationship using Excel complete the following steps:
1. Open Microsoft Excel.
2. Enter the X values in column A.
3. Enter the Y values in column B.
4. Press the chart button in the toolbar, OR under Insert in the menu header, select Chart.
5. Select plot type "XY scatter". Press <Next>.
6. Set the data range by selecting all the data. (On the actual spreadsheet, click on a corner box
that contains the data you are trying to graph. Then, drag the mouse until all boxes with the
data you want graphed is selected. Do NOT include the titles.)
7. Click on the Series tab. Make sure the proper X and Y values are selected. (If you put X as
column A and Y as column B, this will be done automatically. In any case, make sure the values
next to X-axis reflect the location of the X values on the spreadsheet, and the values next to Y-

axis reflect the location of the Y values.) For example, on a density plot the mass should be on
the Y-axis, and volume on the X-axis. Press <Next>.
8. Fill in the titles and labels. Don't forget to list the units! Press <Next>.
9. Select "As Object in Sheet 1". Press <Finish>.
To draw a straight line thru the data:
1. Under Chart in the menu header, select "Add Trendline".
2. Select Linear. Press the Options tab.
3. If the plot is to go thru the origin, check the "Set Intercept" box, and enter 0 in the box.
4. To show the equation of the line (y=mx +b), check the "Show Equation" box or "Display
Equation on Chart" box. Press <OK>.
5. To change the scale to make the plot take up most of the space, right click on a gridline and
select "format axis". Set both the x and y minimum to 0.
Extrapolation (extend trendline): estimating outside the known range
1. To change the range your Trendline covers, right click on the actual best-fit line and select
"format trendline". Under the options tab, change the forward and backward forecast units as
needed to extend the trendline through the ENTIRE graph.
2. Forecast until the line crosses the x-axis and/or y-axis.
How to use Excel Notes *Directions are for version 2007. (THIS MAY ALSO BE
COMPLETED USING GOOGLE SHEETS)
To show a linear relationship using Excel, complete the following steps:
1. Open Microsoft Excel.
2. Enter the X values in column A.
3. Enter the Y values in column B.
4. Select (highlight) all the data you have entered.
5. Under Insert, click Scatter, and choose the first option (Scatter with only markers).
6. Check that the proper X and Y values are selectedthe values next to the X-axis should
reflect the location of the X values on the spreadsheet, and the values next to the Y-axis should
reflect the location of the Y values. If you entered X as column A and Y as column B, this will be
done automatically.
7. To delete the legend, select the legend (Series) and hit backspace.
8. Under Chart Tools, click the Layout tab and choose Chart Title to add a title.
9. Click Axis Titles to add labels for the X-axis and Y-axis. Dont forget to list the units!

Significant Figures Calculations- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHiLlZl-qdw
Scientific Notation- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvDsFmRnaqI
Data Collection and Reporting Numbers Measuring: Always read
between the lines!- always estimate the distance between the smallest
scale divisions
The ruler on the left has line markings for each centimeter. We can
accurately say that the rod is in between 1 and 2 centimeters. Each
measurement that we report must contain one digit of estimation. We
might estimate that the rod is about 30%-50% beyond the 1-cm mark.
Our final recorded measurement might be 1.4 cm, with our estimated
digit in the tenths place.
The ruler on the right has line markings for each tenth of a
centimeter. Because there are more markings on this ruler, we can
report our measurement with higher precision. We know for certain
that the rod is in between 1.4 and 1.5 cm. Recall, each measurement
we report must contain one digit of estimation. Our final measurement recorded from the ruler
on the right might be 1.49 cm, with our estimated digit in the hundredths place.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Uncertainty in Measurements: the digit read between the lines is always uncertain (or
estimated)
ex. 4 is the estimated digit in 1.4 cm (in the example above)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Significant Figures (Sig Figs) Digits of measurements reflect all certain digits and 1
additional estimated (uncertain) digit
Significant Figure Rules:
1) All nonzero numbers
ex. 23 g 2
63.76 kg 4
2) Captive zeros between 2 nonzero #s
ex. 108 mL 3
1000008 cL 7
3) Trailing zeros (after a number, to the right) ONLY when a decimal point is present
ex. 20.00 cL 4
23.70 L 4 200 g 1
#s that are NOT significant
1) Trailing zeros (after a number, to the right) ONLY when a decimal point is NOT present
ex. 200 g 1
10,800.00 m 7
2) Leading zeros (leftmost) placeholders
ex. 0.1230 km 4
0.000070 g 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sig Fig rules ONLY apply to estimated numbers (measurements)
Examples of estimated numbers (measurements)
ex. 23.76 mL
30.00 g

Sig Fig rules DO NOT apply to exact numbers or exact conversions

Examples of exact numbers
ex. 23 people 23.000000 people
Examples of exact conversions
ex. 100 cm = 1 m
60 mins = 1 hour
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Sig Fig rules for addition/subtraction same number as LEAST decimal places or place value
(whether it be tens, ones, tenths, hundredths, etc.)
ex. 23.46 g + 2.910 g + 6.3 g + 4 g = 36.67 g
*0 decimal places in number 37 g
Sig Fig rules for multiplication/division same number of LEAST significant figures
ex. 63.46 cm x 23.3 cm = 1472.272 cm2
*Can only have 3 sig figs 1470 cm2
*These rules apply ONLY when units are common. If units are uncommon, first convert to the
common unit (retaining the sig. figs), then perform the math operation following the above rules.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Rounding: ending in 4 or below = round down; ending in 5 or above = round up
ex. 54.3 L ~ 54 L
0.0035 kg ~ 0.004 kg
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Scientific Notation take into account sig .figs.
-For ease of reporting very large or very small numbers, you will need to be able to
1) convert to power of 10ex. 1,500,000 particles = 1.5 x 106 particles and 0.0000250 moles = 2.50 x 10-5 moles
2) And back to decimal form from scientific notationex. 1.3620 x 10-4 L = .00013620 L and 4830 x 105 m = 483000000 m
--------------------------------------------------------------------Arithmetic with units
Addition and subtraction: units don't change
ex. 2 kg + 3 kg = 5 kg
412 m - 12 m = 400 m
However, units must be the same before adding or subtracting
ex. 3.001 kg + 112 g = 3.001 kg + 0.112 kg = 3.113 kg
Multiplication and division: units multiply & divide too
ex. 3 m 3 m = 9 m2
10 kg 9.8 m/s2 = 98 kg m/s2
However, units may cancel
ex. 5 g / 10 g = 0.5 (no units!)
10.00 m/s 39.37 in/m = 393.7 in/s
--------------------------------------------------------------------Video Notes Practice: Use the following links (also posted on the class website) and complete
the extra practice problems in your notes.
