INQUIRY: establishing the purpose of the unit

Transfer goals
List here one to three big, overarching, long-term goals for this unit. Transfer goals are the major goals that ask students to “transfer”, or
apply, their knowledge, skills, and concepts at the end of the unit under new/different circumstances, and on their own without scaffolding
from the teacher.
• The student will understand and be able to articulate that the properties of matter are the result of particulates and particle interactions.
• The student will be able to explain the mole concept

DP Chem-Unit 1 Plan Term 1 2019-20

 • The student should be able to relate reacting masses and volumes to the amount of matter /use mole ratios in chemical equations to
calculate reacting ratios by mass and gas volume.
Essential understandings
List here the key content/skills/concepts that students will know/have at the end of the unit

Students will know the following content:

● The particulate nature of matter and chemical change
• The mole concept
• Reacting masses and volumes
Students will develop the following skills:
• Deduction of chemical equations when reactants and products are specified.
• Application of the state symbols (s), (l), (g) and (aq) in equations.
• Explanation of observable changes in physical properties and temperature during changes of state.
• Calculation of the molar masses of atoms, ions, molecules and formula units.
• Solution of problems involving the relationships between the number of particles, the amount of substance in moles and the mass in grams.
• Interconversion of the percentage composition by mass and the empirical formula.
• Determination of the molecular formula of a compound from its empirical formula and molar mass.
• Obtaining and using experimental data for deriving empirical formulas from reactions involving mass changes.
• Solution of problems relating to reacting quantities, limiting and excess reactants, theoretical, experimental and percentage yields.
• Calculation of reacting volumes of gases using Avogadro’s law.
• Solution of problems and analysis of graphs involving the relationship between temperature, pressure and volume for a fixed mass of an
ideal gas.
• Solution of problems relating to the ideal gas equation.
• Explanation of the deviation of real gases from ideal behaviour at low temperature and high pressure.
• Obtaining and using experimental values to calculate the molar mass of a gas from the ideal gas equation.

 Students will grasp the following concepts:
• Atoms of different elements combine in fixed ratios to form compounds, which have different properties from their component elements.
• Mixtures contain more than one element and/or compound that are not chemically bonded together and so retain their individual
properties.
• Mixtures are either homogeneous or heterogeneous.
• The mole is a fixed number of particles and refers to the amount, n, of substance.
• Masses of atoms are compared on a scale relative to 12C and are expressed as relative atomic mass (Ar)and relative formula/molecular
mass (Mr).
• Molar mass (M) has the units g mol-1.
• The empirical formula and molecular formula of a compound give the simplest
• ratio and the actual number of atoms present in a molecule respectively.
• Reactants can be either limiting or excess.
• The experimental yield can be different from the theoretical yield.
• Avogadro’s law enables the mole ratio of reacting gases to be determined from volumes of the gases.
• The molar volume of an ideal gas is a constant at specified temperature and pressure.
• The molar concentration of a solution is determined by the amount of solute and the volume of solution.
• A standard solution is one of known concentration.
