​Science Notes:​

​DENSITY:​
​1.​ ​Density of a substance is calculated with the formula = M/V (Mass &​
​Volume)​

​2.​ S
​ I Unit of Density is found by dividing Unit of Mass by Unit of Volume so its​
​kg/m​​³​, accordingly using smaller substances will give​​u g/m​​³​, to make ts​
​into kg just multiply by 1000. (NOTE: Review Table 9.1 on Page 91)​

​3.​ T
​ o find the density of a block, its placed on a balance scale (Traazo - elite​
​ball) the mass is recorded in g’s​

​4.​ ​Volume’s found by multiplying length width height of da block​

​5.​ I​f you wanna find the mass of a irregularly shaped solid like a pebble you​
​have to place it on da top pan balance scale, volume will be found by​
​adding water into a measuring cylinder until it reaches half, once it does​
​add pebble carefully then subtract the values after v before. Density is just​
​M/V so figure it out​

​6.​ T
​ o find the density of a liquid, firstly the measuring cylinder is weighed on​
​the balance scale and it mass is found out, then liquid is poured into it and​
​da volume is measured. The liquid that we just measured and the cylinder​
​is (A) and the Cylinder that we measured before is (B) so we’ll minus B from​
​A. And we’ll get our mass of liquid​

​7.​ T
​ he volume is found when we pour the liquid into da cylinder so now to find​
​D we do D=B-A / V (NOTE: Read Figure 9,4 Page 94)​

​8.​ I​f you put wood into water the wood will float due to diff in density,ts is due​
​to the object that has less density always floats on the object that has more​
​density then the other one​

​9.​ T
​ o find density of gas, the round bottomed flask is put on the measuring​
​scale with its stopper pipe and closed clip to find the mass of it. Then the​
​flask is attached to a vaccum pump and the air is removed from the flask.​
​Then the mass of the flask (with no air) stopper pipe and closer clip is​
​found by placing it back on the balance. The mass of the air in the flask will​
​be measured by subtracting the second reading from the first​

​10.​ ​The volume is then found by opening the clip underwater so that water​
​enters to replace the vacuum. The Water is then poured into the measuring​
​thingy to find volume.​
​11.​ I​MPORTANT: The Density of gas changes as its temp/pressure changes. To​
​compare 2 gases they are measured in the same conditions, (STP: Standard​
​Temp & Pressure : TEMP = 0 C PRESSURE = Support 760NM Mercury)​

​12.​ ​Experiment thingy = Hot Air Balloon, Joseph Montgolfier was born in 1740​
​and died in 1810, one day he saw clothes being dried on fire. He saw how hot​
​parts of the clothes rose up and then fell back when the hot air circulated​
​around em. He came up w the idea that the smoke rose due to containing a​
​property called levity which he believed made things rise against gravity.​
​He called it montgolfier gas.​

​13.​ ​Following ts he told his brother to join him and then they made the huge​
​balloon made of hessian and paper over a smoky fire​

​14.​ ​Then Tiberius Cavallio made experiments on bubbles by filling em up w​


​hydrogen. This led to the idea of a balloon filled with Hydrogen which could​
​carry actual people. Later ts was used for more purposes then js transport.​
​Today the gas is helium and they can help measure weather conditions and​
​do more cool stuff ig​

​DISPLACEMENT REACTIONS:​
​1.​ ​Displacement happens when the less reactive element gets replaced by a​
​more reactive one. Think of it as Replacement​

​2.​ W
​ hen potassium reacts w water, its a example of a displacement reaction as​
​potassium displaces water which is made by hydrogen and oxygen. As​
​potassium is more reactive then hydrogen it will displace it and make​
​potassium hydroxide​

​3.​ L
​ ikewise, iron is more reactive then copper sulfate it will replace it and make​
​iron sulfate​

​4.​ A ​ s magnesium is more reactive then hydrogen, magnesium will replace it​
​and form magnesium hydroxide . To detect ts we use phenolphthalein​
​5.​ ​(Read Table 10.1 on Page 104 for Reactivity Series)​

​6.​ W
​ hen metals react w acids they displace hydrogen from acid and form salt​
​reaction. Metal + Acid - Metal Salt + Hydrogen so basically Magnesium +​
​Sulfate Acid - Magnesium Sulfate + Hydrogen​

​7.​ ​When Metals displace, a more reactive metal will displace the less reactive​

​8.​ M
​ ore Reactive + Less Reactive - More Reactive Compound + Reactant (Iron +​
​Copper Sulfate - Iron Sulfate + Copper​

​( I Recommend Reading Ts Chapter)​
