for AP quiz 3 :)

Ang Daigdig bilang Tirahan ng Tao

Daigdig – ang planetang pangunahing tirahan ng lahat ng tao

Tatlong Pangunahing sapin/layer
Atmosphere : hanging bumabalot sa daigdig
Hydrosphere : lahat ng tubig na nasa daigdig
Lithosphere : ito ang matigas na bahagi sa ibabaw ng daigdig(matatagpuan ang mga anyong lupa)

Mga Karagatan sa Daigdig
Pacific/Pasipiko : East – North America at South America
West – Asya at Australia
North – Kipot ng bering
South – Antarctica

Atlantic: North - Asya
South – Antarctica

Indian : North – Asya
South – Antarctica
East – Australia at Indonesia
West – Africa

Arctic – Pinaka hilagang bahagi ng daigdig
** Milwaukee Region: (atlantic) pinakamalalim na
bahagi
** Java Trench: (Indian) pinakamalalim na bahagi


Pinagmulan ng kontinente
CONTINENTAL DRIFT THEORY (1912)
-Alfred Wegener – (Meteorologist)
Tesis: nabuo ang mga kontinente sa daigdig dahil sa patuloy na paggalaw ng lupa. (isang pulgada bawat taon sa ibabaw ng daigdig)
**Pangaea – Solidong masa ng lupa na sinasabing pinanggalingan ng lahat ng kontinente sa mundo. (Super Continent)
Dagat Panthalassa – Ang dating pangalan ng ngayon ay Karagatang Pasipiko. Ito ang dagat na sinasabing nakapalibot sa Pangaea.

• PANGAEA
Gondwana Laurasia

• umusad papuntang timog
• ng lumaon ay umusad pa-hilaga
• nagkahiwalay ang Africa at Timog Amerika = Dagat Atlantic
** Nagbanggaan ang Gondwana at Laurasia = pitong (7) kontinente sa daigdig

PLATE TECTONIC THEORY
- David Griggs – (Geologist)
Tesis:
Dahil sa patuloy na pagtaas ng temperature, lalong gumalaw ang mga lupa. Sa ilalim ng lupa ay mga plates na pag gumalaw at nagbanggan ay nagreresulta ng pagkakabiyak ng lupa.

** Ang pag-aaral ni David Griggs ay ibinatay nya sa pag-aaral ni Alfred Wegener. Naniniwala sya sa Tesis ni Wegener, kung kayat ang sinikap nyang gawin ay bigyan ng paliwanag ang dahilan ng paggalaw ng lupa.


KONTINENTE:
• ****TANDAAN!!!
– Bawat isang kontinente ay magkakaiba at bawat isa ay may “unique” na katangian (Lokasyon, laki/sukat, likas na yaman, klima)
• Pundasyon ng bawat kontinente at ng kasaysayan nito (Mga aspekto: Politikal, Sosyal, Ekonomiks, Ispiritwal)

Apat na Kalupaan/Rehiyon:
– Eurasia – Africa : tripling kontinente (Europa, Asya, at Africa)

– Amerika – Hilaga at Timog Amerika

– Antarktika (Antarctic) – kalupaan sa Timog Polo

– Australia at Oceania

Klima sa Daigdig
Klima – pangkalahatang atmospera sa mahabang panahon
tandaan
– ang pagkakabuo ng buhay sa mundo ay naapektuhan nito
– - sinasabing ang pagbabago sa klima ay isa sa mga salik ng Ebolusyon
• - May mga bansa na mayroong apat na “season” ang iba naman ay dalawa lamang

CHEM! quiz 3. (not yet complete)

Significant Figures
-Important numbers needed for a particular measurement based on the degree of certainty.
• All non-zero digits are significant.
• Zeros in between non-zero digits are significant.
• Zeros before the first nonzero digit are not significant. (leading zeros)
• Zeros after the last nonzero digit may or may not be significant. (trailing zeros)
– If there is a decimal point in the number, all trailing zeros are significant.
– If there is no decimal point in the number, all trailing zeros are NOT significant.
• Exact numbers are considered to have an infinite numbers of significant figures.


In MULTIPLICATION and DIVISION, consider the least number of SF’s.
Examples:
• 6.35 X 4.1 = 26.035 ® 26 since given has 2 SF’s as the least number of SF’s
• 27.922 ¸ 3.3 = 8.4612 ® 8.5 since given has 2 SF’s as the least number of SF’s

In ADDITION and SUBTRACTION, consider the least number of decimal places.
Examples:
• 3.36 + 21.1 = 24.46 ® 24.5 since given has 2 decimal places as the least number of decimal places
• 47.82 – 6.1 = 41.7 since given has 2 decimal places as the least number of decimal places

Rules of rounding off
• If the digit to the right of the number to be rounded off is 5 or greater, round up (add 1 to the number).
ex: 45.678 ® 45.68
26.4345 ® 26.435
• If the digit to the right of the number to be rounded off is less than 5, round down (retain the number).
ex: 45.672 ® 45.67
26.4340 ® 26.434

Precision – tells how close several measurements are to the same value.

Accuracy – tells how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value.


History of Measurements
• Body parts and objects in the natural surroundings were used by ancient man as bases for measurements.
– Early Babylonian and Egyptian records and the Bible indicate that
• length ð forearm, hand, or finger
• time ð periods of the sun, moon, and other heavenly bodies.
• capacities ð plant seeds gourds or clay or metal vessels (they were filled which were then counted to measure the volumes)
• mass ð plant seeds and stones
– “carat” - mass unit for gems (carob seed)
• The English System originated from England. Units included “digit”, “palm”, “span”, “cubit”, which later evolved into “inch”, “foot”, and “yard”.
– "pes," or foot ð unciae (Roman)
– "gird" or "yard" ð circumference of a person's waist (Saxon)
– "inch" and "ounce" ð (Latin)
• The Metric System originated in France. This was established to have a single worldwide coordinated measurement system.

• The Metric System uses the base “10” and meter is used as the unit of length defined as 1/10 millionth of the distance from the north pole to the equator.

• In 1860’s, the “Treaty of Meter” was created to set up well-defined metric standards for length and mass.

• The International Bureau of Weights and Measures at Sevres, France, coordinates the exchange information about the use and refinement of metric system.

• In 1960, the General Conference adopted an extensive revision and simplification of the system. The name Le Systeme International d’Unites (International System of Units), with the international abbreviation SI, was adopted for this modernized metric system.

Chem (history and branches)

History of Chemistry

1. PRACTICAL ARTS (-- to 600 BC)
· Inhabitants of Ancient Egypt and Mesopotamia
· Crafts: production of metals, pottery, brewing, baking, production of dyes
· Development was based on everyday experiences
· No reference to chemical principles

2. GREEK THEORY (600 BC- 300 BC)
· Greeks wanted to understand nature
· 1st theory- Substances are composed of 4 elements – Earth, Air, Fire Water
· 2nd theory- Matter = ATOMS by Leucippus and Democritus
· TRANSMUTATION- transformation of one element into another
· PLATO- transmutation is achieved by changing the shape of the atoms
· ARISTOTLE- elements and substances are made up of PRIMARY MATTER. Transformation is achieved when the form (shape, color etc.) is altered

3. ALCHEMY ( 300 BC- 1650 AD)
· Combination of ideas from the ancient Greeks and Egyptians
· Laboratory Apparatus (crucible)
· Laboratory Methods (crystallization, distillation and sublimation)
· Philosopher’s Stone (changes metals into gold)
· Elixir of Life (was believed to cure diseases; promote immortality of humans)
· IATROCHEMISTRY- branch of alchemy concerned with medicine
· ROBERT BOYLE- believed that metals can be changed into gold but this theory should be based on EXPERIMENTAL evidence.

4. PHLOGISTON THEORY (1650-1790)
· Work of Georg Ernst Stahl
· Was later found to be erroneous
· “Phlogiston” – a substance present in all flammable objects; is released when the object is burned
· “Calx”- powdery residue after burning of a substance

5. MODERN CHEMISTRY (1790 to 1999)
· Antoine Lavoisier marks the beginning of modern chemistry.
· Relied on the results of quantitative experimentation to explain certain phenomena
· Law of Conservation of Mass – Mass Before reaction = Mass After Reaction
· Wrote and Published à Elementary Treatise on Chemistry à the language of chemistry today
