Recording for 10/25 Chemistry Class : Phase Change

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7aDW24OwPs

Fwd: 11/16 Chemistry update and homework due 11/30

Hi folks,

Sorry this took so long to get this out to everyone.

This week we took a look at the five phases of matter, phase change and the relationship between heat, temperature and phase change.

Homework this week is to answer the following questions and do the enclosed worksheet .pdf.


1.  What are the five phases of matter?



2.  Describe what happens, molecularly, as a solid increases in temperature and changes phases.  Be sure to include a description of the bonds and how they change over the process.  Also, what would temperature be doing over time as this substance changed temperature.



3.  List the states of matter from least amount of kinetic energy to greatest amount of kinetic energy.

Oct 18 Chemistry Video : Energy and Temperature

Hi folks,

Sorry it took me a bit to get this too you.  Had a devil of a time getting it to upload.  It kept hanging.  Anyway, enjoy!

10/18 Chemistry update and homework due 10/25

Hi folks,

Today we talked about conservation of energy and then began work with temperature and heat. We did a lab today where we heated a solution of rubbing alcohol and water and recorded the temperature every 30 seconds. Next week we will discuss our findings.

Homework for this week is
Read pgs 17-22

Do questions #'s 22- 29

Also, take the data that you collected from today's lab and create a line graph. Use time as the horizontal axis and temperature as the vertical axis.

10/11 Chemistry update and homework due 10/18

Hi folks,

Today we did our second part of the "Basics of Energy" lecture were we talked a bit more about what energy is and how to measure it.  We talked about Joules, calories and kilocalories.  We tried to get a feel for the units by doing the physical labor of deep knee bends and pushing my car.  

Homework for this week:

Read the content on this website up to the section on Power.  

Answer the following questions.

1.  How many Joules would it take to walk up a 2 meter (about 6 feet) flight of stairs if you weigh 100 lbs?  (Remember to convert to Newtons.)  How many calories would that be?  How many times would you have to walk up (remember down doesn't count) that flight of stairs to burn off the Calories from a Snickers bar (250 Calories (remember that's 250,000 calories))?

2.  Why doesn't down count in the above problem?

3.  If it takes about 10 lbs of force to push a lawn mower and you push it 400 meters to cover the entire lawn, how much work do you do?  In Joules?  In calories? (Remember to convert to Newtons.)

4.  A gallon of gas has 1.3x10^8 J of energy. (that carrot means that the 8 is an exponent.  So the number is 1.3 x 10 to the 8th.) How far can a car go if it takes 400 N of force to keep it going?

5.  What is potential energy?  Give 3 examples.

6.  What is kinetic energy?  Give 3 examples.

7.  If it takes 10,000 J of energy to push a refrigerator 4 m (12 ish ft.) across a kitchen what force does it take to push that fridge?

8.  Look up 3 of your favorite activities and tell me how many Calories it takes to do them?  How many Joules would that be?

    

10/4 Chemistry update and homework due 10/11

Hi folks,

This week we did a brief introduction to the concept of energy. For the next several weeks we will be looking at energy, temperature, heat and heat transfer. This first block is one of the most "mathy" of the year and uses the most difficult equation that we'll be using this year as well. To prepare for that, I'd like you to do the enclosed .pdf for homework this week. It's my hope that it will help you see how equations are really just another way of communicating.
