Problem Set 1 - Ch 10 & 19 – Part A Purpose: Problem set 1 is a three part assessment of the learning objectives outlined for chapters 10 & 19. Students will be assessed on their ability to synthesize and apply the concepts covered in class, as well as recall information and reflect on their learning and problem solving strategies. Task: Students will work individually to complete all 3 parts of the assessment. Students may not work together, they may not work with tutors, and they may not use online resources outside the class resources posted on canvas. Part A: This is a take home set of challenging questions that will require students to synthesize and apply the concepts covered in class. Part B: This will be an in-class set of questions provided by the instructor to assess student’s ability to recall information used in Part A of the problem set. Part C: This will be a set of reflection questions both about student’s problem solving strategies and their learning process. This part may include a class or small group discussion. Part A Evaluation: Students that attempt all questions in good faith for all parts of the problem set by the deadline will earn a Revise grade. Students that submit an assignment that meets the list of requirements below (or revise their work with instructor feedback to meet the requirements) will earn a Complete grade on the assignment. Problem Set 1 Part A Standards to Earn a Complete Grade Students attempt each question in good faith and revise questions with instructor feedback if requested. Short answer responses are formatted in complete sentences and paragraphs. Claims are supported by evidence with scientific reasoning. All work is shown for calculations. Student demonstrates a strong understanding of the material and is able to apply and synthesize the concepts covered. Student work may have small errors but does not show large gaps in knowledge. The student will answer 4/5 questions without significant errors. The student is able to answer recall questions about the concepts in the challenge questions and are able to discuss their responses to each question with the instructor if it is necessary to clarify their work.
1. In the MC Escher painting below 3 boxes have been drawn and labeled A, B, & C . Which one represents the smallest unit cell ? Justify your answer with evidence (observations of the image) and scientific reasoning that includes a definition of “unit cell.” 2. Calcium carbonate, the material shellfish shells are made of, can crystallize into two different unit cells, shown below. The green balls are Ca +2 ions and the grey ball and red ball molecules are CO 3 -2 . Determine the chemical formula of calcite and aragonite from the unit cells above. Show all work. 3. Lead and Tungsten are commonly used metals in fishing weights, in use they will have the same mass, but be different sizes, implying the density of the two metals are different. Compare the density of lead and tungsten using the information below. Will the lead or the tungsten fishing weight be smaller when they are the same mass (ex: 0.45 kg for off-shore fishing)? Lead: atomic radius of 0.175 nm Tungsten: atomic radius of 0.136 nm A B C
