Chemistry Unit One Review

Introduction

  • The review focuses on practicing questions to reinforce understanding.
  • Emphasis is on simplifying chemistry concepts, avoiding unnecessary complexity.
  • Practical questions are used for a clear understanding.

Nitrogen Molecule Diagram

  • Task: Draw a particle diagram of six nitrogen gas molecules.
    • Molecules should be relatively far apart.
    • Random movement can be shown with arrows.
  • Task: Draw a particle model for liquid nitrogen.
    • Molecules should be in a container, close to each other but not stuck together.

Mixtures and Separation

  • Mixtures A and B
    • Consist of NH4Cl, sand, and H2O.
  • Question 1: Property of sand for separation
    • Filtration due to different particle sizes.
  • Question 2: Temperature for dissolving NH4Cl in Mixture A
    • Use a reference table, around 25°C.
  • Question 3: Type of mixture for Mixture B
    • Heterogeneous due to non-uniform distribution.
  • Question 4: Evidence for varying mixture proportions
    • Different amounts of NH4Cl and sand in mixtures.

Dry Ice (CO2) Experiment

  • Background: Dry ice is solid CO2 placed in a flask with air at 21°C.
    • Balloon inflates, dry ice disappears with no liquid observed.
  • Question 5: Name the phase change process
    • Sublimation: Direct transition from solid to gas.
  • Question 6: Heat flow direction
    • Heat flows from air (higher temperature) to dry ice (lower temperature).

Heat Transfer Investigation

  • Experiment: Bottle of water in a room with temperature change from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m.
    • Mass of water constant, temperature increased by 10°C.
  • Question 7: Calculate change in thermal energy
    • Formula: Energy change = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change
    • Numerical setup: 800g × 4.18 × 10°C
  • Question 8: Direction of heat transfer
    • Heat transferred from surroundings to the water.
  • Question 9: Compare average kinetic energy
    • Higher temperature at 3 p.m. indicates higher average kinetic energy compared to 7 a.m.

Conclusion

  • This concludes the unit one review for chemistry.
  • Encourages further study and engagement.

Note: The focus on different separation techniques, phase changes, and understanding of heat and energy transfer are emphasized as core chemistry concepts.
