Name: Per: Date: Unit 1. Materials: Formulating Matter A. How do chemists describe matter? The U.S. Mint is promoting the use of dollar coins instead of dollar bills. In what ways might coins be superior to bills? How do the properties of each form of currency depend upon their composition? In this unit, you will consider the benefits and drawbacks of using a dollar coin. You will make recommendations for dollar production and use, as well as strategies to convince U.S.consumers to adopt our choice of currency. A.3 Physical and Chemical Properties Classify each statement as a describing either a physical property (P) or a chemical property (C). [Hint: Decide whether the chemical identity of the material does or does not change when the property is observed.] 1. Pure silver has a high luster (is shiny and reflects light). 2. The surfaces of some metals become dull when exposed to air. 3. Nitrogen gas, which is a relatively nonreactive element at room temperature, can form nitrogen oxides at the high temperatures of an operating automobile engine. 4. Milk turns sour if left too long at room temperature. 5. Diamonds are hard enough to be used on drill bits. 6. Metals are typically ductile (can be drawn into wires). 7. Bread dough increases in volume if it is allowed to “rise” before baking. 8. Argon gas, rather than air, is used in many light bulbs to prevent oxidation of the metal filament. 9. Generally, metals are better conductors of heat and electricity than are nonmetals. 10. For each of the following settings or situations, write a statement similar to those in Questions 1-9 and then identify whether your statement describes a physical or chemical property. a. One of your observations in Lab Investigating Matter. b. Your everyday experiences. c. One desirable property of a dollar coin. A.4 Properties Matter: Designing the Penny. Concept Check 11. You found the density of post-1982 pennies in the lab, Investigating Matter to be about 7.30 g/cm3. Compare your experimentally determined coin density to that of pure copper (8.94 g/cm3) and pure zinc (7.14 g/cm3). Unit1A.docx 1 12. Based on this comparison, estimate the relative quantities of zinc and copper in post-1982 pennies. (For instance, do you think pennies are composed of 50:50 of zinc and copper or more of one or the other?) 13. Briefly describe your reasoning, or show mathematically how you arrived at your estimation. Classification of Matter POGIL Look at the things in this room. They are all matter. That matter may be pure or it may be a mixture. Can you tell by looking at it? What if you looked at it under a microscope? Then could you tell? Something that looks pure may not really be pure. It depends on what type of particles that thing is made of. In this activity we will explore how the smallest chemical units of matter determine whether something is an element, a compound, or a mixture. Model C Box 1 T & CSq & C atom 8 particles ?

Unit1A.docx 3 Part 2 – Exploring Pure Substances and Mixtures Matter is classified as a pure substance when all of the particles are the identical. Matter is classified as a mixture if there are different particles present. 21. Identify which set of drawings from #9 are pure substances and which set are mixtures. List the codes for each set here. Pure Substances Mixtures ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ ____________ 22. How are the codes (chemical formulas) for pure substances different from those for mixtures? 23. As a team, look at the set of pure substances from #10 and separate them into those containing only one type of atom, and those with two or more types of atoms. Read This! Elements are defined as substances made from only one type of atom. Compounds are defined as substances made from two or more types of atoms chemically combined in a fixed ratio. 24. Identify which set of drawings (from #12) are elements and which set are compounds. List the codes for each set here.

First letter of name First 2 letters of name C First letter + predominant letter Al Cl Latin or other language name Cu 27. Which is more likely to be the same throughout the world—the element’s symbol or its name? 28. For each formula, name the elements present and give the number of atoms of each element. The first one is done for you. 3 carbon atoms + 8 hydrogen atoms a. C3H8 propane b. CO2 carbon dioxide: c. H2O2 hydrogen peroxide (antiseptic) d. CaCl2 calcium chloride (sidewalk de-icer) e. NaHCO3 sodium hydrogen carbonate (baking soda) f. sulfuric acid (battery acid) H2SO4 Unit1A.docx 6 A.8 Pictures in the Mind Use the following key to draw and interpret models of elements and compounds containing hydrogen, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and chlorine: Model: Atom: H C N O Cl Sample Problem 1: Draw a particulate level model of carbon dioxide (CO2). (Hint: Carbon is in the center of the molecule.) The chemical formula CO2 shows one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms. We’re told that carbon is in the middle, so we’ll draw a model that looks like: Sample Problem 2: Write the chemical formula for the element represented by this particulate-level model: Using the key above, we identified the atoms as nitrogen. Two nitrogen atoms make up the molecule, so the chemical formula for elemental nitrogen must be N2. Now it's your turn to create and interpret particulate-level models of elements and compounds. 29. In Investigating Matter A.1, you mixed ammonia solution and vinegar solution. a. Draw a molecular-level model of ammonia, which has chemical formula NH3. b. The substance in vinegar that reacted with the ammonia is called acetic acid. Below is a molecular-level model of acetic acid. Write its chemical formula. (Hint: Write the symbol for carbon first.) 30. Draw molecular-level models of these compounds: a. Methane (CH4): The primary component of natural gas. (Hint: Carbon is in the center of the molecule.) b. Water (H2O): The most abundant substance on Earth. (Hint: Oxygen is in the center of the molecule.) Unit1A.docx 7 c. Elemental chlorine (Cl2): poisonous gas used to make plastics and disinfect water. d. Hydrogen chloride (HCl): important industrial chemical also sometimes used in pure form to etch semiconductor crystals. e. Carbon monoxide (CO): toxic gas used in many industrial processes, including purifying nickel. 31. You melted and burned paraffin wax in the Lab Investigating Matter. Write the chemical formula of paraffin wax given its model below. (Note: The carbon and hydrogen atoms are smaller than in the key so that this molecule can fit on the page.) So far, none of the models you have drawn or interpreted are of metals. How can you visualize solid metals? The following picture shows a common use of aluminum foil. Although we use the chemical symbol "Al" to represent aluminum, what we visualize is actually a large collection of aluminum atoms. Like this: This model, like all models, has some limitations. It is really only showing one small segment of the aluminum foil; the atoms extend outward from what is shown. The main point, though, is that we still only use a single symbol, Al, without any subscripts, to represent an entire collection of aluminum atoms. Think about how that is different from the molecular compounds you worked with in Questions 1-3. 32. Earlier, we learned about the composition of current pennies. Examine this figure, which shows a cross-section of a penny. a. What chemical symbols represent copper and zinc? b. Zero in on a small area of the cross-section in the figure. Draw a particulate-level model of what you think the copper and zinc atoms look like in that small area. c. Describe in words how you decided to draw your model. Unit1A.docx 8 33. In chemistry, we often try to relate the atomic and molecular structure of materials to their properties. One property of metals is that they can be pounded into thin sheets. a. Consider the particulate-level model of aluminum foil and other metals. Does this model help you to explain why metals can be pounded into thin sheets? [Could you predict from this model that aluminum is malleable?] b. Describe your reasoning. A.11 It’s Only Money Part I: Apply your knowledge of existing currency, as well as what you have learned about properties of materials, to answer the following questions. 34. For a suitable coin: a. What physical properties must the material have? b. What other physical properties are desirable? c. What chemical properties are required of the material? d.

Which would make the best primary material for a new coin: a metal, nonmetal, or metalloid? Explain. Part II: To make knowledgeable decisions, it is useful to collect information from several reliable sources. As you consider the use and sustainability of U.S. currency, it will be helpful to find the composition of dollar coins and bills now in circulation. 39. How will you find the composition of current U.S. dollar bills and coins? (Hint: Think about the organizations that are responsible for producing money in the U.S.) 40. How will you decide whether the information you find is reliable? 41. What materials are found in the U.S. one-dollar coin? Write the name and symbol of each element in this coin. 42. What materials compose the U.S. dollar bill? Section A Summary.
