ACTIVITY 2: BOYLE’S LAW

Boyle and Charles are two of the significant persons in the field of chemistry especially in
Who is Robert Boyle?
Robert Boyle was born on January 25, 1627 at
Lismore Castle, County Waterford Ireland and died on December 31, 1691,
London, England. He is an Anglo Irish natural philosopher, theological writer and
a preeminent figure of 17th century intellectual culture. He was best known as a
natural philosopher in the field of chemistry but also have scientific works in
many areas like hydrostatics, physics, medicine, earth science, natural history and
alchemy. Other than his scientific interests, he has prolific outputs in Christianity
like his devotional and ethical essays and theological tracts on biblical language.
Boyle started his formal education at the age of eight at Eton College where He was known to
be a studious child. From 1644 to mid - 1650s, Boyle consumed his time with his group Hartlib Circle.
With this group, George Starkey, a young immigrant from America, heightened Boyle’s interest in
experimental chemistry.
From 1656 to 1668, Robert Boyle went to Oxford and it is where his passion in experimental
chemistry became more noticeable. In 1659, together with Robert Hooke, they completed the
construction of their famous air pump and used to study pneumatics. Boyle and Hooke had several
discoveries regarding air pressure and vacuum which resulted to their first publication in 1660
entitled, New Experiments Physico – Mechanical, Touching the Spring of the Air and Its Effects. The
two scientists also discovered the different physical characteristics of air and its role in combustion,
respiration and transmission of sound.
In 1662, Boyle’s Law was published. This law expresses the inverse relationship of pressure
and volume of gas. He performed an experiment where he trapped a fixed amount of air in the J – tube.
He changed the pressure by differing weights of mercury and he controlled the temperature. He then
found out that increasing the pressure would decrease the volume of the gas.
Some more other writings of Boyle were The Sceptical Chymist and the Origin of Formes and
Qualities. Overall, Boyle strongly argued that for us to study about the natural
Who is Jacques Charles?
Jacques Alexandre – Cesar Charles was born on November 12, 1746 in Beaugency, France
and died on April 7, 1823 in Paris. He is a French the first to ascend in a hydrogen balloon
together with Nicholas Robert in 1783
His first occupation was a clerk at the Ministry of Finance in Paris but then turned to
science and experimented with electricity. His concentration was on ballooning which made him to
be a known individual on reaching the highest altitude using a balloon.
About 1787, Charles’ law was developed which focuses on thermal expansion of gases.
Charles is best known for his studies on how the volume of gas changes with temperatures. In
1787, He studied oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen and carbon dioxide and found out that the volume of
all of these gases increased identically with higher temperature when pressure was held constant.
Although he found these results, he did not publish. It was Gay – Lussac who publish the same
findings but gave due credits to Charles.
Much of Charles work and publications were on mathematics however he remains to be a
scientist and inventor. He finished many experiments on electricity and invented instruments like
the new type of hydrometer that is used to measure densities as well as the development of a
reflecting goniometer for measuring the angle of crystals.
On the latest life of Charles, he remained to be a university physics professor.

GAS LAWS
Gases have different properties. They have indefinite shape and size and fit the shape and size
of their containers. Gases are easily compressed when pressure is applied, expand when
heated and contract when cooled. Below is a table showing how pressure, volume and
temperature are interrelated.

Below is a container with an unknown gas. An upward arrow represents the pulling
up of the cover and the downward arrow represents the pressing down of the cover.
Analyze the illustration and answer the questions that follow.
1. What do the dots inside the container represent?
2. What do you notice on the particles inside the container after the top cover was
pressed downward? What is the effect of this on the pressure inside the container?
3. What happens to the volume of the gas inside the container after it was pressed?
How confident are you with your answers? Check the like icon if you are confident
with your answer, otherwise check dislike.
Based on the previous activity, you have just learned the effect of pressure on the volume of a gas. You hav
This pressure and volume relationship of gas is known as Boyle’s law. It was named after Robert Boyle
after he has performed an experiment on gases.
According to Robert Boyle (16th century), the volume (v) of a given amount of gas held at
constant temperature varies inversely with the applied pressure (P). In other words, at constant
temperature, when the pressure is increased, the volume of the gas is decreased. When the
pressure is decreased, the volume is increased. This can be represented by the mathematical
expressions below.
where:
V1 = initial volume
V2 = final volume
P1 = initial pressure
P2 = final pressure
From the Boyle’s law equation, we can solve for an unknown property of a gas.
Study the given example below.
Example #1: A sample of gaseous nitrogen in a 65.0 L automobile air bag has a pressure of 745
mmHg. If this sample is transferred to a 25.0 L bag at the same temperature. What is the pressure
of the gas in the 25.0 L bag?
Solution:
It is often useful to make a table of the information provided
We know that P1V1 = P2V2

Therefore,
P2 = P1V1
V2
P2 = [745 mm Hg][65.0 L]
25.0 L
P2 = 1937 mm Hg

After you have learned Boyle’s law, this time it’s your turn to solve the follow
1. If a sample of gas has a volume of 100 ml when the pressure is 50 Pa, what is the
volume when the pressure is increased to 400 Pa, assuming temperature is constant?
2. A gas collected when the pressure is 800 mmHg has a volume of 380 ml. What
volume, in ml, will the gas occupy at 200 mmHg?
ACTIVITY 5: CHARLE’S LAW
Hi there! After finding out the relationship of pressure and volume at constant tempe
Scenario:
A group of Grade 10 students wanted to find out relationship between volume
and temperature at constant pressure. They were given three balloons, three containers
filled with ice water, tap water and hot water and a tape measure. They inflated the
three balloons with the same circumference and placed each of them on top of the
three beakers. After 3 minutes, they took the balloons and measured the
circumference of each and recorded them on a table.
Task:
The table below shows the recorded observations of the students in their experiment.
Study the table and answer the questions that follow.

Questions:
1. In which set – up do you observe changes on then balloon?
2. What happens to the size of the balloon when the temperature is increased?
3. What does negative four (-4) in ice water set up indicates?
4. Based on the activity, complete the statement below.

“At constant pressure, when the temperature , the volume ”.
Activity 5 helped you find out the relationship of temperature and volume at constant
pressure. You have just learned that increasing the temperature of a gas would also increase
its volume. This was explained further by Jacques Charles in his experiment of a trapped gas
in a cylinder with a movable piston I water bath at different temperatures.
Charles’ Law states that at constant pressure, the

volume of a fixed amount of gas is
directly proportional to the Kelvin (K) temperature.
Mathematically, Charles’ law can be expressed as
V α T at constant P or
Where:
V1 = initial volume T1 = initial temperature
V2 = final volume T2 = final temperature
Let us try to use the equation above to solve for the following worded problem on
Charles’ law.
Example 1:
A container contains 5 L of nitrogen gas at 25° C. What will be its volume if the temperature
increases by 35° C keeping the pressure constant?
Solution:
V1 = 5 L V2 = ?
T1 = (25°C + 273) K = 298 K T2 = (25°C + 35°C + 273) K = 333 K
Formula: V1= V2 Manipulate the equation and solve for V2:

T1 T2 V1T2 = V2T1 V2 = V1T2
T1
Substituting the values, Answer: V2 = 5.59 L
V2 = (5 L) (333 K)
298 K
ACTIVITY 6: SOLVING CHARLES’ LAW
After you have discovered how to compute for Charles’ law, now it’s your time to analy
1. A sample of gas occupies 3 L at 300 K. What volume will it occupy at 200 K?
2. A sample of oxygen occupies a volume of 1.6 L at 91°C. What will be the

temperature when the volume of oxygen is reduced to 1.2 L?
The Kinetic Molecular Theory
You have learned the different types of laws such as Boyle’s Law and Charles’ Law.
These laws have been proposed through experimental results. In order to explain the behavior
of gases at molecular level, James Clerk Maxwell proposed the Kinetic Molecular Theory of
Gases. This theory is based on the following postulates:
1. Gases are made up of atoms or molecules that

continuously move in random motion. Throughout
their motion, these molecules travel in straight line
unless they collide with. At this point, they will
bounce of and change direction.
Figure 1. Molecules of gases in

random motion
2. The distance from one

molecule to another molecule of gases are so wide compared
to their individual sizes. A gas is mostly empty space or with
negligible volume.
Figure 2. Distance of gas
3. The force of attraction between gas molecules is almost negligible.
Figure 3. Slight interaction is negligible

4. The collisions between gas molecules and the walls of their container are perfectly
elastic. This means, there is no loss or gain of energy among the particles during
collision.
Figure 4. a) Elastic collision b) Inelastic collision
5. The average kinetic energy of a gas is proportional to its temperature in Kelvin.
Figure 5. a) Lower b) higher average kinetic

average kinetic energy and energy and higher
lower absolute temperature absolute temperature
Let’s review!
a). Boyle’s Law. The pressure is exerted when the molecules collide with each other
and hit the sides of the container. The more collisions, the more pressure exerted.
When the molecules are closer together, they collide more frequently. If the
volume is lesser, more collisions, more pressure. if the volume is greater, lesser
collisions, lesser pressure. Therefore, pressure and volume are inversely
proportional if the temperature and total kinetic energy is kept constant.
b). Charles’ Law. The gas molecules will move faster as the temperature increases.
As the molecules move faster, they likely heat the edge of the edge of the
container more often. If the reaction is kept at constant pressure, they must stay
farther apart, and an increase in volume will compensate for the increase in
particle collision with the surface of the container. Therefore, volume and
temperature are directly proportional if the pressure is kept constant.

ACTIVITY 1: PROPERTIES OF GASES
PART 1: GASES AND TEMPERATURE

Q1. Yes, there is a difference in the temperature of the air among the three set-ups.
Heat flows from the system to the surrounding vice-versa. If the water is cold, the
surrounding air also gets cold. Conversely, if the water is hot, the surrounding
air, also gets hot.
PART 2: GASES AND MASS

Q2. Yes there is difference in the mass of the deflated and inflated balloon. The
inflated balloon is heavier than the deflated because the difference in the
mass of the two balloons is due to the introduction of gas.
Q3. We can infer from the activity that gases like solids and gases also have mass.
PART 3: GASES AND VOLUME

Q4. The volume reading of the water-oil mixture when air is introduced to it
increases.
Q5. The activity indicates that gas has volume.
PART 4: GASES AND PRESSURE

Q6. The balloon becomes bigger because heat flows. The heat of the water is
transferred into the air above it which then transfers the heat into the air
inside the balloon. Once the air inside the balloon is heated, its molecules will
become excited causing an increase in their kinetic energy. The amount of the
kinetic energy that they possess becomes great enough that enable them to
push the walls of the balloon. This phenomenon results in the spaces in
between molecules of gases. Hence the balloon becomes bigger.
Q7. As the water is heated until it boils, water vapor are produced. These vapors
are warm and warm air (including the vapor) moves upward just as cold air
moves downward. This is because warm air is less dense than the cold air.
The upwardly moving vapors enter the balloon and make it inflated, thereby
changing its size and shape. The more vapors are produced, the bigger will be
the balloon.
Q3. If the balloon is continuously exposed
to the boiling water it becomes bigger and
bigger.

Background Information for the Learners:
Carbohydrates “The Chief Source of Energy”
Foods are everywhere. Most of the foods we eat

contain carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are important biomolecule of our
body. They are called “chief source” because it
provides the main energy needed by our body. In https://www.google.com/search?q=carbohydrates
layman’s terms, we acknowledge carbohydrates as Figure 1.3

Examples of Foods containing Carbohydrates
sugars or substances that taste sweet. Depending on the
number of constituting sugar units obtained
Saccharide (Greek
upon hydrolysis, they are classified as “sakcharon” means sugar)
is the unit of
monosaccharides (1 unit), disaccharides (2 carbohydrates
units), (3-10 units) and polysaccharides (more
than 10 units).
Carbohydrates are important because:
1. they are the main source of energy of all living organisms;

2. they store energy which is in form of the polysaccharide glycogen in animals and
starch in plants;
3. together with protein, they provide the structural support and serve as components
for the cells; and
4. they provide support or backbone to other organic compound such as in the nucleic
acid.
The main function of carbohydrates is to store and provide energy. They are broken
down into smaller glucose units that can be easily absorbed by the cells. When glucose is
further broken down, the energy released by breaking its chemical bonds are used or stored
by the body.
Some carbohydrates also serve as the framework of cellular structures. For example,
cellulose makes up the cell wall of plant cells. Chitin, another carbohydrate, forms the
exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell wall of fungal cells.
Classifications of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are molecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
They have a general formula of C nH2nOn . They can be classified depending on the number
of their monomer units called saccharides.
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates. They contain either five or
six carbon atoms. Monosaccharides [Greek monos = single; sacchar = sugar] or simple sugars
consist of one sugar unit that cannot be further broken down into simpler sugars.
Disaccharides are two monosaccharides bonded to each other. The monosaccharides
are linked through an ether group.
Polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharide units. They are also called
complex carbohydrates. Similar to disaccharides, the monosaccharides are linked through an
ether bond in polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides: Simplest Form of Carbohydrates

Monosaccharides are also known to be the “building blocks” of carbohydrates. They
are usually colorless, crystalline and soluble in water. They represented by the chemical
formula C6H12O6.
Below are the examples of
Monosaccharides: Table 1: Major Examples of
Compound
Monosaccharides Common Name Description/s Sources
-major carbohydrate found in
Fruit juices, honey,
Blood sugar/ both animals and plants
Glucose corn, syrup,
dextrose -important product of
vegetables
photosynthesis for plants
Sugar component of mammary Milk and milk
Galactose Milk Sugar`
animal products
-sweetest sugar Fruits, Fruit juices,
Fructose Fruit sugar -found in most fruits honey
As what they say, too much or too little of anything may lead to some diseases. When
too much glucose is in the blood, the pancreas secretes a hormone called “insulin” which
stimulates cells in the liver, muscles and fat to absorb glucose and transform it into glycogen
or fats, which can be stored for a period of time. When blood glucose drops, the pancreas
secretes glucagon, which causes the liver, muscles and fat to convert glycogen back to
glucose.
Disaccharides: Combination of Monosaccharides

Disaccharide, also called double sugar, any substance that is composed of two
molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other. Disaccharides are
crystalline water-soluble compounds. The monosaccharides within them are linked by a
glycosidic bond (or glycosidic linkage), the position of which may be designated α- or β- or a
combination of the two (α-,β-). Glycosidic bonds are cleaved by enzymes known as
glycosidases. The three major disaccharides are sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
To simplify, disaccharides are formed from the dehydration synthesis of two
monosaccharides. For instance, when two units of glucose undergo dehydration synthesis, it
will form maltose, an example of disaccharide. Disaccharides follow the rule of molecular
formula CnH2nOn-1 because dehydration synthesis is used to form them. Remember that
dehydration synthesis removes water. Moreover, a disaccharide molecule can also be reduced
back to the individual monosaccharide that forms them through hydrolysis reaction.
Below are the three major examples of disaccharides
Table 2: Major Examples of Disaccharides
Compound Sugar Units Description/s Sources
-also known as malt sugar
Maltose Glucose + Glucose -from the reaction of malt Germinating grains
on starch
-primary ingredient found
Glucose + Milk and milk
Lactose in the milk of all mammals
Galactose -is not sweet to taste products
-known as table sugar
Sugarcane, sugar
Sucrose Glucose + Fructose -found in all photosynthetic
beet
plants
People who cannot digest milk products are called “lactose intolerant” because they
do not produce the enzyme (lactase) necessary to break the bond between glucose and
galactose. Since lactose molecules are very large to be absorbed into circulatory system, they
continue through the digestive system, where they eventually broken down by bacteria in
large intestine. These bacteria digest monosaccharides producing carbon dioxide gas in the
process. As a result, a common symptom of lactose intolerance is a build-up of intestinal gas
along with a bloated feeling, and more often passing out undigested lactose as diarrhea.
Figure 1 Figure 2 Figure 3
Sucrose (Glucose + Fructose) Lactose (Glucose + Galactose) Maltose (Glucose + Glucose)

(The three figure shows two monosaccharides bonded or joined together by a glycosidic bond)
Polysaccharides: Long Chain Sugars

Polysaccharides and Oligosaccharides are long chains of monosaccharides linked by
glycosidic bonds. They contain thousands of chains of monosaccharides. Like disaccharide,
polysaccharide is formed by numerous dehydration synthesis of monosaccharide.
Polysaccharide are so big that they need to be broken down into individual monosaccharide
units before they can be absorbed by the cell.
Three important polysaccharides, starch, glycogen, and cellulose, are composed of
glucose. Starch and glycogen are short-term energy that stores in plants and animals,
respectively. The glucose monomers are linked by α glycosidic bonds.
Below is the list of major types of Polysaccharides:

Proteins: Most Abundant

Organic Compounds in Living Cell
Among the four organic compounds, proteins are the

most abundant in the living cell. It is generally composed of
the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and
sometimes, phosphorus and sulfur. Figure 5
Examples of Foods containing Proteins
Proteins are macromolecules made up of nitrogen-containing monomers called amino

acids. An amino acid is a molecule composed of an amino group (−NH2) and a carboxyl group
(−COOH), together with a variable side chain. 20 different amino acids contribute to nearly all
of the thousands of different proteins important in human structure and function. Body
proteins contain a unique combination of a few dozens to a few hundreds of these 20
amino acid monomers. These amino acids have the same fundamental structure. The 20
amino acids are classified into two: the essential and nonessential amino acids. Essential
amino acids can be obtained by eating protein-rich foods while nonessential amino acids are
readily synthesized by the cells.
The table below shows the two classifications of amino acids. Notice that amino acids
can be abbreviated by the first three letters of their name except for tryptophan, asparagine,
glutamic acid and glutamine.
Table 4. Essential and Nonessential Amino Acids

Essential Amino Acids Nonessential Amino Acids
Histidine-His Alanine-Ala
Isoleucine-Iso Arginine-Arg
Leucine-Leu Asparagine-Asn
Lysine-Lys Aspartic Acid-Asp
Methionine-Met Cysteine-Cys
Phenylalanine-Phe Glutamic Acid-Gln
Threonine-Thr Glutamine-Gln
Tryptophan-Trp Glycine-Gly
Valine-Val Proline-Pro
Serine-Ser
Tyrosine-Tyr
The unique bond holding amino acids

together is called a peptide bond. A peptide bond is a
covalent bond between two amino acids that forms
by dehydration synthesis. A peptide, in fact, is a very
short chain of amino acids. Strands containing fewer
than about 100 amino acids are generally referred to
as polypeptides rather than proteins.
Figure 6
Peptide Bond. Different amino acids join together
to form peptides, polypeptides, or proteins via
When two (2) amino acids are chained with each
dehydration synthesis. The bonds between the
other, a dipeptide (di- means two) is produced. When
amino acids are peptide bonds.
three (3) amino acids are chained, then a tripeptide
(tri-means three) is formed. When four or more amino acids are joined, the polymer
polypeptide is formed. To break down the peptide bond, hydrolysis reaction is needed.
The following are the biochemical importance of proteins:
1. Protein serves as the structural components of living cell. It means that cell needs
protein to do its function.
2. Proteins perform biochemical functions such as hastening chemical reactions

through enzymes which serves as a catalyst. Enzymes are very important in speeding the
chemical reaction process in the body. For instance, to break down amylose or starch through
digestive process, the enzyme amylase will reduce the amylose to small sugar units. If there
is no enzyme, chemical reactions will take longer. (See Figure 7)

3. Proteins also act as the biochemical regulator of the body in the form of hormones.
For example, a growth hormone or GH promotes and regulates the growth of organisms.
4. The blood is mostly composed of proteins. Hemoglobin in the red blood cells
serves as the transporter of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other compounds in the body. The
plasma, which is the liquid part of blood, is also composed of proteins. The WBC or white
blood cell and antibodies that promote immunity are also made of protein.
5. Keratin, which gives support and protection to the skin, is a kind of protein;
collagen provides the strength to connective tissues particularly the cartilage. The actin and
myosin filaments enable contraction and relaxation of muscles.
6. Proteins contain genetic materials-the genes that determine traits.
Lipids
Lipids are organic compounds that constitute

fats and fat-like compounds. Lipids cannot be dissolved
in or combined with water. Lipids are composed mainly
of the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and some of
nitrogen and phosphorus.
The monomers of lipids are the fatty acids and

glycerol. Fatty acids are classified into two (2):
Figure 8
Examples of Foods containing fats and saturated and unsaturated fatty acids (Refer to Figure
lipids
2). Saturated fatty acid appears in a straight chain while
unsaturated fatty acids appear bending because of double bonds (double line) or “kink”.
Saturated fatty acids can solidify in
room temperature and are usually
called as animal fats. Saturated fatty
acids are less healthy than the
unsaturated fatty acids which are
mostly present in plants. Unsaturated
fatty acids are sometimes referring
as plant oils. Unsaturated fatty acids
do not solidify in room Figure 9
Structure of Saturated (top) and Unsaturated Fatty Acids (Below)
temperature.
The formation of polymer lipids requires the dehydration synthesis of one molecule of
glycerol and fatty acids. Glycerol molecule contains OH molecules. Each OH molecule can
undergo dehydration synthesis with the H of fatty acid. When they are attached, a lipid is
produced. When one fatty acid molecule undergoes dehydration synthesis with one OH of
glycerol, a monoglyceride (mono means one) is produced.
When two fatty acids synthesize with two OH molecules of glycerol, diglycerides (di
means two) are formed; and when three fatty acids synthesize with three OH of glycerol,
triglycerides (tri means three) are formed.
The following are the biochemical importance of lipids:
1. Like carbohydrates and proteins, lipids provide structural component of the cell,
particularly of the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane. What makes your skin
resistant to water is the sebum, the specialized oil secreted by the sebaceous glands of your
skin. The cutin of plant leaves also makes them resistant and enables slow dehydration of
water.
2. Lipids provide the energy given by carbohydrates because of the number of
hydrogen atoms it possesses.
3. Lipids also serve also serve as the medium of some hormones like steroids and
vitamin D and secosteroids.
3. Lipids serve as an insulator of heat, help retail body normal temperature, and
protect animals from extreme coldness. The skin of animals in the Arctic regions like
penguins and snow bears are mostly composed of fats.
The three main types of lipids are
triacylglycerols (also called triglycerides),
phospholipids, and sterols.
1. Triacylglycerols (also known
as triglycerides) make up more than 95
percent of lipids in the diet and are commonly
found in fried foods, vegetable oil, butter,
whole milk, cheese, cream cheese, and some
meats. Naturally occurring triacylglycerols are
found in many foods, including avocados, Figure 10
Types of Lipids
olives, corn, and nuts. We commonly call the
triacylglycerols in our food “fats” and “oils.” Fats are lipids that are solid at room
temperature, whereas oils are liquid. As with most fats, triacylglycerols do not dissolve in
water. The terms fats, oils, and triacylglycerols are discretionary and can be used
interchangeably. In this chapter when we use the word fat, we are referring to
triacylglycerols.
2. Phospholipids make up only about 2 percent of dietary lipids. They are water-
soluble and are found in both plants and animals. Phospholipids are crucial for building the
protective barrier, or membrane, around your body’s cells. In fact, phospholipids are
synthesized in the body to form cell and organelle membranes. In blood and body fluids,
phospholipids form structures in which fat is enclosed and transported throughout the
bloodstream.
3. Sterols are the least common type of lipid. Cholesterol is perhaps the best well-
known sterol. Though cholesterol has a notorious reputation, the body gets only a small
amount of its cholesterol through food—the body produces most of it. Cholesterol is an
important component of the cell membrane and is required for the synthesis of sex hormones,
vitamin D, and bile salts.
Nucleic Acids “Strings of Life”
Nucleic acids are commonly known as DNA and

RNA molecules. DNA and RNA molecules rest in the
nucleus of cells. Nucleic acids are composed of the
elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and phosphorus. The
following are the biochemical importance of nucleic acids:
1. DNA and RNA molecules store genetic
information or genes of organisms that contain traits that
can be passed down from parents to offspring.
2. DNA and RNA molecules particularly function Figure 11
Double Helix Nucleic Acid
for the formation of proteins.
Nucleotide is the monomer of polynucleotide (DNA and RNA). A molecule of
nucleotide is composed of pentose sugar, a nitrogenous base, and a phosphate group (Refer to
Figure 12)
Figure 12
To produce a polynucleotide, dehydration synthesis happens between two or more
nucleotides. Specifically, it happens between a phosphate group of one nucleotide and the
sugar group of the next nucleotide. When two nucleotides undergo dehydration synthesis, a
dinucleotide is formed. When three or more, a polynucleotide is formed. Nucleotides are
joined together by a bond called phosphodiester bond.
The deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are the nucleic acids
found in living organisms. Both the DNA and RNA carry genetic information about an
organism. What is then the difference between DNA and RNA? The table below shows the
differences between DNA and RNA:
Nitrogenous bases establish complementary base pairs. Such complementary bases

pairings are applicable in DNA. Because of this, one strand of polynucleotide can form
complementary base pair with another strand of polynucleotide. The complementary base
pairing of two-stranded polynucleotide produces DNA forming the double helix which
appears like ladder. This remarkable complementary base pairing and establishing of helical
appearance of DNA were discovered by James Watson and Francis Crick. In RNA, such base
pairings also exist. However, instead of Thymine (T) pairing up with Adenine (A), Uracil (U)
establishes complementary base pair with Adenine (A). The figure below shows the structure
of the
four
nitrog
enous
bases.

Conservation of Mass in Chemical Reactions
Background Information
If you boil two eggs, how many eggs would you expect to have after cooking? It is
two, right? It would not be logical to expect the number to increase or decrease because we
know that in cooking, we mostly get what we put in the pot. The same principle works for
chemical reactions. The law of conservation of mass states that mass cannot be created nor
destroyed in a chemical reaction. This means that the amount of matter before a chemical
reaction remains the same after. In an ideal system, the mass of the products equals the mass
of the reactants.
Learning Competency:
● The learners should be able to apply the principles of conservation of mass
to chemical reactions (S10MTIVe-g-23; 4th Quarter/Week 5-7)
Concept #1: Chemical Equations
In chemistry, chemical reactions are represented by chemical equations in which

symbols are used to indicate the chemical components and the processes involved. A
chemical equation is divided into two sides- the reactant side and the product side. Reactants
are substances used to produce product. Usually, an arrow symbol (→) divides the two sides
and it may be read as “yields” or “produces” or “forms”. Chemical formula represents the
chemical substances while the number of moles per substance is represented by numbers or
coefficients written before each chemical formula. The phase of each substance is represented
by letters such as (s) for solid, (ℓ) for liquid, and (g) for gas. The numbers below each
element, or the subscript, denote the number of atoms for that element. In balancing a
chemical equation, only the coefficients can be changed while the subscript cannot.
Recall: Match the following symbols with their meaning and usage in chemical
equations:
A B
1. → a. in aqueous (liquid) solution
2. ∆ b. yields or produces
3. (s) c. gas
4. (g) d. solid
5. (aq) e. heat
Activity 1: WHAT’S IN A REACTION?
Directions: Identify the components of each chemical reaction.

2. Two salts, aluminum sulfate (Al2(SO4)3) and calcium chloride (CaCl3), combine to
form a white precipitate of calcium sulfate (CaSO4) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3).
Al2(SO4)3 + CaCl3 → CaSO4 + AlCl3
Reactants Products

Concept #2: Balancing Chemical Equations
Stoichiometry is the process of calculating the quantities of reactants and products and
relating them to each other. Applying the law of conservation of mass, the total amount of
reactants is expected to be equal to the total amount of the reactants.
From ancient times, fire has fascinated people due to its many uses. Fire provides heat
which is needed in daily activities such as cooking, burning things or combustion, and
keeping warm. Early scientists such as George Ernst Stahl and Priestly studied fire and the
changes it brings to materials such as changes in mass. In some of their experiments, the mass
of the material increased after a reaction while in others, it decreased. Stahl, Priestly, and
many others believed that it is because of the release of a substance called phlogiston. They
then came up with the Phlogiston Theory, the earliest theory of burning. Through his
experiments however, Antoine Lavoisier discovered that instead of releasing phlogiston, a
material actually burns up as it reacts with oxygen, the element in the air which enables
combustion or burning. This became the basis for his theory of Oxidation which illustrates
that the amount of material before and after a chemical reaction remains the same, though the
chemical composition may change.
Recall:
A. Read each item carefully and write your answer on the space provided.
1. This law is applied when the amount of reactants equals the

amount of products in a chemical reaction.
2. Kim calculates the mass of the products of a chemical reaction
based on the molar relationships in the equation. What process is involved?
3. Name three scientists who studied the changes in matter
brought about by fire.
4. It was a substance believed to be released by a material as it burns.

Factors Affecting Rate of Chemical Reaction
Background Information:
Collision theory explains why different reactions occur at different rates. It also
suggests ways to change the rate of a reaction. Collision theory states that for a chemical
reaction to occur, the reacting particles must collide with one another. The rate of the reaction
depends on the frequency of collisions. The more often reactant molecules collide, the faster
the reaction rate. For collisions to be successful, reacting particles should possess a minimum
kinetic energy known as activation energy to start a chemical reaction and must be in the
proper orientation when they collide.
Illustrated by Kitkat Laguerta, adopted from Compoundchem2016
Figure 1. Effective collisions produce product particles between the reactant particles and
ineffective collisions produce no reaction
The frequency of effective collisions between reactant particles affects the rate of a
reaction. An increase in the frequency of effective collisions increases the rate of reaction.
Chemical reactions do not occur at the same time. There are factors that affect the rate
of chemical reactions, which include:
1. concentration of reactants
2. particle size or surface area of the reactants,
3. temperature at which the reaction occurs and
4. presence of catalyst.
Learning Competency:
Explain how the factors affecting rates of chemical reactions are applied in food
preservation and materials production, control of fire, pollution and corrosion. (S10MTIVh-j-
24) (4th Q/Week 8-10)
Activity 1: Up or Down
Directions: The following are processes that can be done to affect the rate of reaction.
Indicate whether each of the following processes would increase or decrease the rate
of reaction. Encircle the thumbs up ( ) if it increases the rate of reaction and thumbs
down ( ) if otherwise.
1. adding heat
2. removing heat
3. adding a catalyst
4. diluting a solution
5. removing an enzyme
6. lowering the temperature
7. increasing the temperature
8. decreasing the surface area
9. increasing the concentration of a solution
10. breaking a reactant down into smaller pieces
Good work, Learner! As you go through the next activities, you will learn more about
the factors that affect reaction rate. Read through each activity and answer the guide
questions that follow.
Activity 2: Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate
When a reaction involves solutions, we can alter the speed of reaction by changing the
concentration of a reactant. Concentration refers to the amount of a substance in a defined
Illustrated by: Kitkat Laguerta

space.
Figure 2. Increasing the concentration of reactants increases the reaction rate
Figure 2 shows the concentration of reactant B in the solution. Moving from left to
right, particles of reactant B are increasing in number, representing the increase in
concentration. Increasing the concentration of reactants in a solution increases the rate of
reaction as there are a greater number of particles available to react. This increases the
frequency of collisions between particles.
The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants. It

means that the higher the concentration of the reactant, the faster the reaction will be.
Let’s Analyze!
Suppose a group of Grade 10-Franklin students conducts an investigation to
determine the effect of using salt in preserving pork meat. They prepared three (3)
slices of pork meat and added salt as shown in figure 3. After three (3) days, the pork
meat in set up A was spoiled.
Illustrated by Kitkat Laguerta
Figure 3: The three setups show the varying amounts of salt added to the meat slices
Guide Questions:
1. If the setups will be left for 3 days, 3 tbsp which set-up will
1 tbsp
last longer? Why? Explain your answer.
2. What do you think is the role of the salt in preserving the pork meat?
3. Is there a relationship between the rate of reaction (shelf life of the meat) to
the concentration of reactant (salt)? Explain your answer.
4. What preservatives (vinegar, salt, or sugar) were used in the following food?
Food Preservative
processed meat (tocino)
dried fish (daing / tuyo)
pickled fruit (atcharang papaya)
wine (tapuy)
Activity 3: Effect of Particle Size on the Reaction Rate
Figure 4 shows a solid reactant that is broken up into smaller pieces. The total surface
area (surface that is exposed) increases compared to when it was whole.

Figure 4. Reducing the particle size increases the surface area exposed to particle collisions
Increasing the surface area of solid reactants increases the number of particles that are
exposed and available to react, and as a consequence this increases the frequency of particle
collisions, increasing the rate of reaction.
Only the surface of a solid reactant is exposed to collisions with the particles of other
reactants. Thus, the smaller the particles, the more surface area exposed, the higher the rate of
reaction.
Take note:
● When a solid reactant is broken up into smaller pieces, its total surface area is
increased.
● There are more surfaces exposed for other reactant particles to collide into.
The collisions between the reactant particles become more frequent.
● This causes an increase in the frequency of effective collisions. Thus, the rate
of reaction increases.
The rate of chemical reaction is inversely proportional to the size of particles of the
reactant. If the particles are small, there is a larger surface area. Thus, the reaction will occur
faster.
Let’s Analyze!
Soap making involves the reaction of
Sodium hydroxide with vegetable oil. Two
groups of Grade 10 students made soap by
mixing Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) and
vegetable oil. Group A used powdered NaOH
and Group B used NaOH pellets.
Figure 5. Group A mixed
Illustrated by Kitkatpowdered
Laguerta sodium hydroxide in 100 ml vegetable oil
while Group B mixed sodium hydroxide pellets in vegetable oil of the
same amount.
The students observed that the set up with the powdered NaOH formed soap faster
than the set up with NaOH pellets.
Guide Questions:
1. Which set-up would have a faster chemical reaction with the vegetable
oil? Setup A or setup B? Why?
2. If you were to make your own soap at home, which form of sodium hydroxide will
you use? Why?
3. In your daily activity, why is it advisable to chew your food into smaller pieces before
swallowing?
Activity 4: Effect of Temperature on the Reaction Rate
A chemical reaction can be made to proceed more quickly or slowly by increasing or
decreasing the temperature of the reactants. Temperature is the property of matter which
reflects the quantity of energy of motion of the component particles. It is a comparative
measure of how hot or cold a material is.
Figure 6. Increasing the temperature of the reactants increases the reaction rate
When the temperature is increased, the reactant particles gain energy, move faster and
collide with each other more often. At higher temperatures, more particles possess energy
equal to or greater than the activation energy, resulting in a higher frequency of effective
collisions. Thus, the rate of reaction is higher.
The temperature of the reactants is directly proportional to the rate of reaction. It
means that the higher the temperature, the faster the rate of reaction is.
Let’s Analyze!
Consider this situation: Anna and her mother are cooking pork meat for lunch. Anna’s
mother told her to add the salt in the pan before it boils but Anna forgot to do this and ended
up sprinkling salt on the dish while it was boiling instead without telling her mother. Her
mother tasted their dish and it was too salty.
Guide Questions:
1. Why should salt be added to cooking food before it comes to a rolling boil?
2. Which reaction process is affected by the increase in temperature?
3. What happens to the dissolution of salt under high temperature?

Activity 5: Effect of a Catalyst on Reaction Rate
A catalyst provides an alternative route for the reaction, with a lower activation
energy. This means that the particle collisions need less energy for a reaction to occur,
increasing the rate of reaction.

Figure 7. The presence of a catalyst reduces the activation energy required to produce a
reaction
A catalyst is a chemical that modifies the rate of a chemical reaction but remains
unchanged at the end of the reaction. A catalyst lowers the activation energy to speed up
chemical reaction. Figure 4 shows the difference between a reaction with catalyst (catalyzed
reaction) and a reaction without catalyst (uncatalyzed reaction). It also shows that the
activation energy for uncatalyzed reactions is greater. It means the presence of a catalyst
reduces the activation energy, increasing the rate of reaction.
Bananas are one of the most common fruits in the country. It has many varieties such
as lakatan, latundan and saba. Banana fruit contains vitamins such as vitamins A, B, and C;
and minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium and zinc. It is a good
source of carbohydrates. The flavor and odor of the banana fruit are due to its ester amyl
acetate content. Unripe bananas contain more starch than ripe bananas. During the ripening
stage, the starch is converted to sugar through the aid of Ethylene, a plant hormone produced
by banana as it ripens. Ethylene fuels the production of the enzyme amylase to convert
banana starch to sugar and the production of the enzyme pectinase which breaks down pectin,
a component of the cell wall. This explains why bananas have a sweet taste and are soft when
ripened.
Guide Questions:
1. What is the role of calcium carbide in the ripening of banana?
2. How about ethylene in the ripening of banana?
3. Does the calcium carbide change in the ripening of banana? How about the ethylene
in banana?
4. Describe the role of a catalyst (calcium carbide/ethylene) in a chemical reaction.

2. 4. 6. 8. 10.
Activity 2: Effect of Concentration on Reaction Rate

Guide Questions:
1. The pork meat with more salt will last longer. Salt removes the water content of the pork meat. The
more concentration of salt the more water will be removed thus preventing the spoilage of the meat.
2. Salt removes water/moisture from the meat; thus, it serves as preservative.
3. Yes, there is a relationship, the more salt (increase concentration) of the reactant the faster the rate
of reaction (decrease in bacterial activity).
4. Processed meat (tocino): Sugar
Dried fish (daing/ tuyo): Salt
Pickled fruit (atcharang papaya): Vinegar, Sugar
Wine (tapuy): Sugar
Activity 3: Effect of particle size on the reaction rate

Guide Questions:
1. There is faster chemical reaction in set-up A where NaOH is powdered because it will react faster
with vegetable oil.
2. Powdered. When the particle size is smaller, there is greater surface area. There are more surfaces
exposed for the other reactant particles to collide into thus collision between reactant particles
become more frequent.
3. Just like the above experiment, if the particle size is smaller, the faster the collision. In like manner,
if food is chewed very well, its particle size becomes smaller for easy digestion.
Activity 4: Effect of temperature on reaction rate
