Essential Question: Are there any basic skills/theory in the study of chemistry?
The student should be able to:(bolded number are MA Framework Standard numbers)
Show all work in mathematical problems as stated in class.
Mass
1. Understand the Law of Conservation of Mass .[10.1]
2. Explain the difference between physical and chemical properties including providing examples.[1.1](1.1)
3. Explain the difference between intensive and extensive properties including providing examples.
4. Explain the difference between chemical change (i.e. chemical reaction ) and a physical process.[1.4](1.1)
5. State the four observations for a chemical reaction.
6. Differentiate between an element, compound and mixture. There is a common flowchart for that covers all matter).[1.2](1.2)
7. Differentiate between a heterogeneous and homogeneous mixture including providing examples.
8. Understand the difference between elements, mixtures and compounds.(1.2)[1.2](1.2)
9. Explain the three reason why mixtures and compounds are different including how homogeneous mixture is different from compound.
10. Differentiate between a solution (homogeneous solution), colloid, and a suspension.
11. Be able to explain how the particles of solid, liquid, and gas are different, the energies of these particles. Also be able to relate to the standard heating curve (Temp vs. Energy graph.). Explain the difference between a gas and vapor and an definition of boiling based on KMT.
12. Be able to define temperature and compound (exactly as I have defined them). Only definition need to know verbadum.
13. Be able to state the 4 major understanding that underpin all other chemical concepts (Conservation of Mass & Energy, Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) and Coulomb's Law (Coulombic force)).
