Lesson 12: Chemical Change II-Part 2
READ:
I. STOICHIOMETRY is about the relationship of the different reactants and products in a chemical
reaction.
The chemical equation of the reaction between CO and O2. Ask the learners if the equation is balanced.
CO + O2 → CO2
Since the equation is not yet balanced, have the learners balance the equation.
2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2
II. Draw out the relationship/ratios of reactants to products, reactant to reactant, and product to product.
Your answer will be based on the BALANCED EQUATION.
(a) reactant to reactant
(b) reactants to products
(c) product to product (if there is)
1. Mole relationships/ratios
a) 2 mole CO : 1 mole O2 2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2
b) 2 mole CO : 2 mole CO2 2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2
1 mole O2 : 2 mole CO2 2 CO + O2 → 2 CO2
Note: since the product has one there is no product to product reaction.
2. Mass relationships/ratios
b) 56 g CO : 88 g CO2
32 g O2 : 88 g CO2
a) 56 g CO : 1 mole O2
b) 56 g CO : 2 mole CO2
32 g O2 : 2 mole CO2
2 mole CO : 88 g CO2
1 mole O2 : 88 g CO2
NOTE: Get the ration within (a) reactant to reactant, (b) reactant to product and (c) product to product.

Lesson 12: Chemical Change II- Part 4
It is important to know the value of a percent yield, percent yield is found in every reaction of a
chemical change. The actual result does not always agree with the theoretical value. Possible reasons are
competing reactions, human errors etc. the relationship between the actual yield and the theoretical yield is
expressed as the percent yield. This may also be interpreted as the efficiency of a reaction. The formula for
percent yield is:
Percent yield = actual yield x 100 %
Theoretical yield
1. The reaction below is a part of the Ostwald process used in creating nitric acid. In a laboratory experiment,
when 150 g NO2 was mixed with enough water, 101 g of nitric acid was produced. How efficient is the reaction
if the predicted amount of HNO3 is 137 g?
Steps:
EVALUATION: Calculate!
1. When FePO4 AND NaSO4 is mixed to produce Fe2(SO4)3 and NaPO4, the reaction produced 58 g of
Fe2(SO4)3. How efficient is the reaction given that the predicted amount of Fe2(SO4)3 is 75 g?
2. Given the chemical equation below, what is the theoretical yield if 279g of C6H6 is mixed with excess
chlorine? If only 68 g of HCl is retrieved after the experiment what is the percent yield of the reaction?
3. If a reaction has an efficiency of 89%, what is its theoretical yield if only 56 g of the product is recpvered?
4. If a reaction has a theoretical yield of 452 g and a percent yield of 22 % , what is the actual yield of the
reaction?
Research and Read the following observations and observations by the time of Galileo mostly by Galileo
himself.
(1) Lunar craters
(2) Sun spots (WARNING: observed by projecting the image onto a screen!)
(3) Changing shape of Saturn
(4) Phases of Venus undergoing full cycle like the Moon
(5) Moons of Jupiter
Research and Read the associating observations to the conclusions against the prevailing Aristotelian physics
and the two domains view of the Universe.
(1) Lunar craters, the Sun spots and the changing shape of Saturn — celestial objects are not perfect (not
necessarily crystalline perfect sphere)
(2) Moons of Jupiter — not all celestial objects necessarily orbit the Earth (or the Sun). Here, the “stars” even
orbit Jupiter, a planet.
(3) The phases of Venus being able to undergo the full cycle like the Moon goes in direct opposition to the
expectations based on the Ptolemaic system.
EVALUATION
The new models were proposed including the Tychonic/Ursine model — a hybrid of heliocentric and
geocentric models (also labeled “geoheliocentric system”).
Indicate that the real challenge for the scientist is how to discern which model best fits the available data of their
times. Will go through each of the following competing models:
(1) Ptolemaic system
(2) Copernican system
(3) Ursine/Tychonic system

Refracting Telescope
A theoretical analysis of how a simple two-positive lens telescope is sketched below.
Tell the story of how Brahe became famous by recalling the previous lesson on his observations:
(a) Supernova explosion of 11 Nov 1572 — named “Nova Stella”, now SN 1572
(b) Comet in 1577
(c) Better and more reliable astronomical data
Inform them that Kepler was hired as sort of “research assistant” by Brahe primarily to prove that
Brahe’s model (geoheliocentric model) of the Universe is consistent with the available data. Kepler needed
Brahe’s data to do mathematical analysis while Brahe needs Kepler to make mathematical calculations to prove
that the model satisfies the observed data.
Brahe died before his model is proven. Kepler inherited vast data set that will prove crucial for developing his
Three Laws of Planetary Motion later.
It took Kepler many more years trying out many possible models to fit the available data being concerned
largely on the philosophical implications of his models and the belief that there has to be simple numerical
relationships among phenomena like the Pythagoreans.
Emphasize that only after about 20 years or so working with the data he got from Brahe, the Three
Laws of Planetary Motion were published in two different years:
(1) Law of Orbit (1609)
(2) Law of Equal Area (1609)
(3) Law of Period (1619)
ENRICHMENT
Ask the students possible applications of drawing ellipses. Mention for example Bernini in the use of ellipses
for perspectives in painting. These can also be used as guides in the arrangement of home.
They can be told to experiment on having a third pin situated not on the line joining the original two pins and
describe the effect on the resulting elliptical shape.
Appendix A: Three Laws of Planetary Motion by Kepler
The following text is taken from pp. 48-49 of Reference #1.
1. Law of Ellipse: The orbit of each planet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun at one of the foci of the
ellipse.
Possible appraisal: The law of ellipse somehow replaced the perfection of the circular orbits somehow accepted
by all the previous models.
In one sense, Kepler is saying that the new “perfect” shape must be an ellipse. In any case, a circular path is a
degenerate ellipse with the foci merging as the center of the circle.
2. Law of Equal Areas: The line joining the Sun and the planet (called the “radius vector”) sweeps over equal
areas in equal times as the planet travels around the orbit.
Possible appraisal: The law of equal areas somehow replaced the concept of uniform speed. In the case of
Kepler’s laws, the new requirement is the uniform “speed” of sweeping an area by the line joining the planet
and the Sun.
3. Law of Period: The square of the period of revolution (time for one complete orbit) of a planet around the
Sun is proportional to the cube of the average distance of the planet from the Sun.
Possible appraisal: The Law of Period being related to the average distance of the planet from the Sun marked
the conclusion that there is a certain kind of harmonics in the Universe (remember that the Universe for
scientists during the time of Kepler meant the entire Solar System with the stars being “glued” to the celestial
sphere eventually realized to be very very far since even with the aide of telescopes, the stars do not exhibit
parallax. In fact, the third law is also known as “Harmonic Law” described in a book called “Harmony of the
World”. Overall, we can also see that Kepler did further philosophical musings about the Laws he discovered.
One such ideas was the identification of “anima motrix” (literally, “motor life”) or the “Prime Mover” initially
thought of by Aristotle. Such philosophical ideas could be identified as a primitive idea of the gravitational
forces exerted by the Sun to keep the planets in orbit.
PRACTICE
1. Draw the ellipses.
2. Essay: do you believe that the sun is the center of the solar system? Why?
Lesson 21: Aristotelian and Galilean concepts of Motion
Learning (Competencies)
1. Compare and contrast the Aristotelian and Galilean concepts of motion: vertical, horizontal and projectile
motions (IVc-46)
2. Explain how Galileo was able to infer that (a) objects on the surface of the Earth falls at the same
acceleration; and (b) force is not necessary to sustain horizontal motion (IVc-47)
INTRODUCTION
Our current understanding on the physics of motion did not happen overnight.
Instead, it gradually developed as philosophers take up previously held philosophies and improve on it or give
critique identifying possible weakness or inconsistencies with observations.
The one of such concepts is the philosophy behind motion in two particular points:
(1) Existence of one unifying explanation for the horizontal and vertical motions and how projectile motions
can be derived from the two.
(2) Quantification of the “rate of fall” or “acceleration” as used by Aristotle.
Give a brief review of the physics of Aristotle related to the two-domain view of the Universe as well as the
four types of the terrestrial motion. Focus on the terrestrial motion briefly mentioning the four types: (1)
Alteration — simply chemical or physical changes, (2) natural local motion, (3) horizontal or violent motion,
and (4) celestial motion.
The natural motion in relation to the four-element model of Aristotle and their “natural position” in the
Universe — Earth being at the middle of it, hence object made more of earth falls “faster” than those made
more of fire or air.
The concept of violent motion is related to the term “violent” being the state of motion that prevents the
attainment of natural progression of motion: either frustrates or goes against natural motion.
Encourage the student that while Galileo is popularly known to have finally nailed the following early
Aristotelian thesis on motion, previous ideas and even experimentation has already been done.
(1) Aristotelian: Natural motion (largely vertical motion, falling or rising) and violent motion
(Largely associated with horizontal, hence projectile, motion) are two motions of distinct nature
(2) Aristotelian: A constant amount of force is needed to be applied to objects to keep them moving in
horizontal motion.
The above premises were largely held by the philosophers and scientists from the time of Aristotle up to
the time of Galileo. It would have needed great scientific efforts (evidence and arguments) to change that view.
Give notice that by the time of Galileo, several philosophers already knew of the increasing number of physical
observations that violate majority of Aristotelian premises.
However, it can be credited to Galileo to quantify the “rate of fall” by measurement of distance and time and
plotting it graphically.
(1) He was able to slow down the “fall” using ramps rather than viscous materials as Aristotle did resulting to
significantly different conclusions related to the “rate of fall”.
(2) He correctly measured motion in two independent directions (horizontal and vertical) and deduced that the
“rate of fall” is better measured in terms of downward acceleration.
(3) Used geometry to provide better description (kinematics) of projectile motion whereby horizontal motion
has zero acceleration (constant speed horizontally) and content vertical acceleration.
Discuss that the infamous Leaning Tower of Pisa experiment of Galileo may not be true but only likely to have
been done by Galileo. Other philosophers before him mentioned a very similar observation. You may read the
article “Science history: setting the record straight” by Phil Ball
The philosophical argument reduction ad absurdum method used by Galileo in showing that the
Aristotelian proposal that heavier objects fall at the same rate must be false and that the only plausible
explanation is that all objects fall at the same rate.
Add to the discussion that Galileo instead slowed down the “fall” using ramp. By plotting the position against
time, and at the same time increasing the slope, one can deduce that the resulting “rate of fall” (or acceleration)
approaches a single value.
