Short Description:
Introductory Chemistry is designed to cover the wide range of topics typically covered in a one-semester chemistry course for non-science majors. This re-mixed textbook is an adaptation of chapters predominantly from three open source chemistry texts- Boundless Chemistry by LumenLearning, Chemistry: Atoms First (2e) by OpenStax, and General Chemistry: Principles, Patterns, and Applications by Salyor Academy. This specific text was created to align with the flow of topics taught in the course Chemistry 1010 at Utah State University.

Introductory Chemistry- 1st Canadian Edition

Rating
0.0 stars

The goal of this textbook is not to make you an expert. True expertise in any field is a years-long endeavor. Here I will survey some of the basic topics of chemistry. This survey should give you enough knowledge to appreciate the impact of chemistry in everyday life and, if necessary, prepare you for additional instruction in chemistry. Throughout each chapter, I present two features that reinforce the theme of the textbook—that chemistry is all around you. The first is a feature titled, appropriately, “Chemistry Is Everywhere.” Chemistry Is Everywhere” focuses on the personal hygiene products that you may use every morning: toothpaste, soap, and shampoo, among others. These products are chemicals, aren’t they? Ever wonder about the chemical reactions that they undergo to give you clean and healthy teeth or shiny hair? I will explore some of these chemical reactions in future chapters. But this feature makes it clear that chemistry is, indeed, everywhere. The other feature focuses on chemistry that you likely indulge in every day: eating and drinking. In the “Food and Drink App,” I discuss how the chemistry of the chapter applies to things that you eat and drink every day. Carbonated beverages depend on the behavior of gases, foods contain acids and bases, and we actually eat certain rocks. (Can you guess which rocks without looking ahead?) Cooking, eating, drinking, and metabolism—we are involved with all these chemical processes all the time. These two features allow us to see the things we interact with every day in a new light—as chemistry.

Is Mass Conserved?

By setting up two different reactions in both open and closed systems, students gather evidence that mass is conserved in reactions, but sometimes it might not look like it is if the reaction is carried out in an open system.

Milk and Soap Experiment - HS-PS1-3

Rating
0.0 stars

Milk is made up of water, fat, and proteins. Each of these molecules have charges and are held together by intramolecular forces. When the dish soap is added to the plate it quickly disperses across the surface as it is attracted to the water molecules and the food coloring is pulled along. This could be used as an anchoring phenomenon on matter, materials, or intramolecular forces.

This lesson is designed to teach high school students about the trends found in the four main families (groups) on the periodic table: Alkali Metals, Alkaline Earth Metals, Halogens and Noble Gases.  Students will work in groups of three to complete a family sketch for their assigned chemical family.  They will go over the family members and trends/characteristics found within each family.  They will create a "day in the life" description of their family along with sketching a family portrait.
