Chem CatalystFired Up

Today you will be observing several different combustion reactions.

1.) What do you think a combustion reaction is?

2.) There are 3 general things needed for a combustion reaction to occur – what are they?

Fire Safety• Tie back long hair, which is especially

flammable when mixed with hair spray. Avoid loose clothing.

• Small fires may be extinguished by smothering flames with water, sand, or a fire blanket. A carbon dioxide fire extinguisher can be used to combat most fires, except fires caused by metals.

The Big Question

• What are the characteristics of fire?

Making Sense

• Changes in matter involve changes in energy.

• Exothermic process: A process that releases energy in the form of heat.

• Reactions of elements and compounds with oxygen typically are exothermic.

• Combustion requires oxygen.

Predict-Explain-Observe-Explain

• A strip of paper is dipped into a mixture of isopropyl alcohol (C3H8O) and water.

• Predict what will happen to the paper when it is lit on fire. Explain why you said what you said.

• Observe the demonstration.

• Explain what happened.

Chem CatalystNot So Hot

1. How do you think hand warmers work? Where does the heat come from?

Lab introduction

• You will be observing three chemical processes today. Focus on the heat transfer in each one.

• Work in groups of four.

• Follow directions at the three stations.

Preliminary Definition of Energy

• Energy: A measure of the work involved in moving or changing something.

Ex: changes in temperature

• Energy is not a substance (i.e. energy is NOT matter)

Definition of Heat

• Heat: A transfer of energy between two substances due to temperature differences.

• To look at heat, we have to define the system and surroundings.

System and Surroundings

• System: The process you are focusing on. In this case, a chemical reaction.

• Surroundings: Everything outside the system (thermometer, beaker, your body)

Definitions• Exothermic:- Feels warm- Gives off heat- Heat transfers from the reaction your hand

• Endothermic Reaction: - Feels cold- Absorbs heat- Heat transfers from your hand the reaction

Computer Simulation

• Molecular workbench: search “exothermic”, explosion.

• What is happening during an explosion? How is energy transferred?

Chem Catalyst

• Imagine you are sitting near a campfire. You feel warm.– Explain how you think burning wood

transfers heat to your body.– The next morning you find ashes that are

the same temperature as the air. Explain why the ashes are no longer hot.

ChemCatalyst

• You have water at 25ºC. You dissolve ammonium acetate, NH4C2H3O2, in the water and find that the temperature decreases to 17ºC.1.) Is the process exothermic or endothermic?

2.) How will it feel if you put your hand on it?

3.) In which direction is the heat transferring?

Purpose

• Today’s question: How do we consider energy transfer from different points of view?

Making Sense

Instructions for the water stations

Making Sense

• Was the lukewarm water at the water station hot or cold?

• Why did the lukewarm water feel hot to one hand and cold to the other?

• If you say something is “hot, what do you mean?

• If you say something is “cold,” what do you mean?

“Hot” and “Cold”

• For the rest of the Fire unit, we won’t say anything is “hot” or “cold.”

• Instead, we can say…

Definitions

• Heat (thermal energy) always transfers from the warmer object to the colder object.

• Thermal equilibrium: when two objects in contact with each other reach the same temperature.

Laws of Thermo

• First Law of Thermodynamics: Energy is conserved. (we can transfer energy, but you can’t create or destroy it)

• Second Law of Thermo: Energy tends to disperse - energy flows from objects of high temperatures to low temps.

Check-In

• Imagine that a thermometer is placed in a beaker of water and the temperature is noted. An ice cube is dropped into the water, and after ten minutes the temperature is noted again.– What will you observe?– What is the direction of energy transfer?

Chem Catalyst

• You are standing outside freezing with no gloves on for several minutes. You sneeze and get stuff all over your hands. When you come into the house, you turn on the cold faucet and start washing your hands. Why do your hands feel so hot under the water? Draw a picture of the direction of heat transfer.

Exercise

• Write two sentences, using proper English, that use the word “heat”.

• After you are done, identify the part of speech that you use “heat” as for both of your sentences.

ChemCatalyst• A thermometer is placed in a beaker of water

and the temperature is 21ºC. An ice cube is dropped into the water and after 10 minutes the temperature is 14ºC.

– Is this an endo or exothermic process?– What is the change in temperature?– Draw a picture showing the direction of heat

transfer.

Chem CatalystHeat versus Temperature

• Chemists talk about the “average kinetic energy” of molecules very often. What do you think this means?

• What chemistry tool could you use to measure the “average kinetic energy” of molecules?

Chem CatalystHeat versus Temperature

• A lead atom is moving at 40 mph. A hydrogen atom is also moving at 40 mph. Will they have the same temperature or different? Why?

• Priority #1 =

1.) Which will melt more ice? Explain your answer in terms of thermal energy, heat transfer, and temperature.

Discussion

• Does total energy depend on the amount of a substance?

• Does the temperature depend on the amount of a substance?

2.) Touch both objects. Which do you think will melt an ice cube faster? Why?

3.) Observe what happens when an ice cube is placed on each.

Chem Catalyst• Imagine you are at the beach. The sun has

been shining all day long, and you want to go for a swim.

– How does the sand feel on your feet? How will the water feel?

– You go back out to the beach at night for a swim. How does the sand feel now? What about the water?

Chem Catalyst• Rank the following substances from coldest

to warmest in terms of how they will feel when you touch them.

Wood Metal Rubber Stopper

Candle Rock Plastic pipe

Explain your predictions, please.

Which substances felt coldest?

Wood = 0.6 cal/g*ºCMetal = 0.092 cal/g*ºCRubber Stopper = 0.48 cal/g*ºCCandle = 0.7 cal/g*ºCPVC = 0.215 cal/g*ºCRock = 0.19 cal/g*ºC

NotesSpecific Heat Capacity (C):

The amount of energy (in calories) needed to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius

Different materials have different heat capacities

Specific heat capacity for water:

1.00 cal

g * ºC

In other words, it takes ____ calories to raise ___ grams of water by ____ degrees Celsius

NotesSubstances with Low Heat Capacity

- Transfer heat energy easily (good heat conductor)

- Heat up quickly

- Cool down quickly

Ex: Metals, rocks

Substances with High Heat Capacity- DO NOT transfer heat easily- Heat up slowly- Cool down slowly

Ex: Wood, Water

Class DemonstrationHow can you explain why the ice cube melted

faster on the black metal square? Use what you know about energy transfer and heat capacity.

Class DemonstrationFeel both black substances.

If an ice cube is placed on each substance, which will make it melt faster?

You have two unknown substances. They each have a temperature of 65 degrees F. The first substances has a heat capacity of 0.12 cal/g*C. The second substance has a heat capacity of 0.63 cal/g*C.

Which substance will melt ice faster and WHY?

ChemCatalyst

Calculating the amount of heat transferred

Heat = mass x specific heat capacity x temperature change

Heat = m•C •(Tfinal - Tinitial)

College Readiness Writing PromptIn some states, legislators have debated whether

teenagers should be required to maintain a “C” grade average in school before receiving a driver’s license. Some people think this would be a good policy because having passing grades shows that students are responsible enough to be good drivers. Other people think such a policy would not be appropriate because they see no relationship between grades in school and driving skills. In your opinion, should teenagers be required to maintain a “C” average in school before receiving a driver’s license?
