question:What would you teach for this CED content? CED Content: TOPIC 1.1 Moles and Molar Mass Required Course Content TOPIC 1.1 Moles and Molar Mass SUGGESTED SKILL Mathematical Routines 5.B Identify an appropriate theory, definition, or mathematical relationship to solve a problem. AVAILABLE RESOURCES § Classroom Resource > Quantitative Skills in the AP Sciences § AP Chemistry Lab Manual > Investigation 3: What Makes Hard Water Hard? § Classroom Resource > Guided Inquiry Activities for the Classroom: Lesson 1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE SPQ-1.A Calculate quantities of a substance or its relative number of particles using dimensional analysis and the mole concept. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE SPQ-1.A.1 One cannot count particles directly while performing laboratory work. Thus, there must be a connection between the masses of substances reacting and the actual number of particles undergoing chemical changes. SPQ-1.A.2 Avogadro’s number (N = 6.022 × 1023 mol−1 A ) provides the connection between the number of moles in a pure sample of a substance and the number of constituent particles (or formula units) of that substance. SPQ-1.A.3 Expressing the mass of an individual atom or molecule in atomic mass units (amu) is useful because the average mass in amu of one particle (atom or molecule) or formula unit of a substance will always be numerically equal to the molar mass of that substance in grams. Thus, there is a quantitative connection between the mass of a substance and the number of particles that the substance contains. EQN: n = m/M ENDURING UNDERSTANDING SPQ-1 The mole allows different units to be compared.
answer:I would teach students how to calculate quantities of a substance using dimensional analysis and the mole concept. I would start by explaining the concept of moles and Avogadro's number, and how they relate to the number of particles in a substance. I would also teach students how to convert between mass and moles using the molar mass of a substance. Additionally, I would provide practice problems and examples to help reinforce the concept and skills.
question:What would you teach for this CED content? CED Content: TOPIC 1.2 Mass Spectroscopy of Elements LEARNING OBJECTIVE SPQ-1.B Explain the quantitative relationship between the mass spectrum of an element and the masses of the element’s isotopes. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE SPQ-1.B.1 The mass spectrum of a sample containing a single element can be used to determine the identity of the isotopes of that element and the relative abundance of each isotope in nature. SPQ-1.B.2 The average atomic mass of an element can be estimated from the weighted average of the isotopic masses using the mass of each isotope and its relative abundance. INTERPRETING MASS SPECTRA Interpreting mass spectra of samples containing multiple elements or peaks arising from species other than singly charged monatomic ions will not be assessed on the AP Exam
answer:For this CED content, I would teach students how to interpret mass spectra of elements to determine the identity of isotopes and their relative abundances. I would first explain the concept of mass spectroscopy and how it can be used to analyze the masses of isotopes of an element. I would then teach students how to calculate the average atomic mass of an element based on the isotopic masses and their relative abundances. I would provide examples and practice problems to help students understand and apply these concepts effectively. Additionally, I would emphasize that interpreting mass spectra of samples containing multiple elements or peaks arising from species other than singly charged monatomic ions will not be assessed on the AP Exam, to ensure students focus on the relevant content.
question:What would you teach for this CED content? CED Content: TOPIC 1.3 Elemental Composition of Pure Substances LEARNING OBJECTIVE SPQ-2.A Explain the quantitative relationship between the elemental composition by mass and the empirical formula of a pure substance. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE SPQ-2.A.1 Some pure substances are composed of individual molecules, while others consist of atoms or ions held together in fixed proportions as described by a formula unit. SPQ-2.A.2 According to the law of definite proportions, the ratio of the masses of the constituent elements in any pure sample of that compound is always the same. SPQ-2.A.3 The chemical formula that lists the lowest whole number ratio of atoms of the elements in a compound is the empirical formula. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING SPQ-2 Chemical formulas identify substances by their unique combination of atoms.
answer:For this CED content on the elemental composition of pure substances, I would teach students to understand the relationship between elemental composition by mass and the empirical formula of a pure substance. I would begin by explaining the concept of empirical formulas and how they represent the lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I would then discuss the law of definite proportions and how it relates to the consistent ratio of masses of the constituent elements in a compound. Next, I would teach students how to calculate the empirical formula of a compound based on experimental data or mass composition. I would provide examples and guide students through the process of determining the empirical formula from given information. Additionally, I would emphasize the importance of chemical formulas in identifying substances by their unique combination of atoms. Throughout the lesson, I would incorporate practice problems and activities to help reinforce the concept and ensure that students can apply their understanding to real-world scenarios. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to explain the quantitative relationship between elemental composition by mass and the empirical formula of a pure substance.
question:What would you teach for this CED content? CED Content: TOPIC 1.4 Composition of Mixtures Required Course Content LEARNING OBJECTIVE SPQ-2.B Explain the quantitative relationship between the elemental composition by mass and the composition of substances in a mixture. ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE SPQ-2.B.1 While pure substances contain molecules or formula units of a single type, mixtures contain molecules or formula units of two or more types, whose relative proportions can vary. SPQ-2.B.2 Elemental analysis can be used to determine the relative numbers of atoms in a substance and to determine its purity. ENDURING UNDERSTANDING SPQ-2 Chemical formulas identify substances by their unique combination of atoms.
answer:I would teach students about the composition of mixtures based on the provided CED content. I would start by explaining the difference between pure substances and mixtures, highlighting that mixtures contain molecules or formula units of two or more types with varying relative proportions. I would discuss how elemental analysis can be used to determine the relative numbers of atoms in a substance and assess its purity. Further, I would cover the concept of calculating the elemental composition by mass in mixtures, emphasizing the quantitative relationship between the elemental composition and the composition of substances in a mixture. I would introduce methods for determining the composition of mixtures, such as percent composition calculations and elemental analysis techniques. During the lesson, I would incorporate examples and practice problems to help students understand how to analyze the composition of mixtures. Additionally, I would emphasize the significance of chemical formulas in identifying substances based on their unique combination of atoms. By the end of the lesson, students should be able to explain the quantitative relationship between the elemental composition by mass and the composition of substances in a mixture and apply this understanding to analyze and determine the composition of different mixtures.
