Molar Mass

  • The mass (in grams) of 1 mole of a substance is called the molar mass
  • it can be determined from the atomic mass on the periodic table
  • measure in grams over moles (g/mole)
Molar Mass of Compounds
  • to determine the molar mass of a compound add the mass of all the atoms together
Element:
FeO- 55.8=16.0=71.8 g/mol
NO- 14=2(16)= 46.0 g/mol
PCl˅5- 31.0+5(35.5)= 208.5 g/mol
Na˅2SO˅4- 2(23.0)=32.1+4(16.0)= 142.1 g/mol 
H˅2O- 2(1.0)=16.0= 18.0 g/mol 
AlCl˅3- 27.0=3(35.5)= 133.5 g/mol

Moles to Volume Conversion

At a specific pressure and temperature, one mole of any gas always have the same volume.
1) At 0 degree C and  101.3 kPa: 1 mol= 22.4 L
- This temperature and pressure is called STp
   - 22.4 L/mol is the molar volume at STP

Example:

How many litres will 4.7 mol of O2 have at STP?

4.5 mol x  22.4 L  = 1.0 x 10^2 litres
                  1 mol

Mole Conversions (Converting between grams and moles)

Converting between moles and mass(grams):
1) To convert the units, we use molar mass as the conversion factor. Molar mass is the number of atomic mass added together.
2) Be sure to cancel out the appropriate units.
* remember about the significant digits!
Examples:

How many grams are in 2.5 mol of Cl2?

2.5 mol x   71g      = 1.8 x 10^2 grams
                1 mol
           
How many moles are there in 205g of BeF2?

205g x   1 mol  = 4.36 mol
                47 g

Avogadro's Number- 6.02 x 10^23

  • Atoms and molecules are extremely small
  • Macroscopic objects contain too many to count or weight individually
  • Amedeo Avogadro proposed that the only number of atoms in 12.00000g of Carbon be equal to a constant (= 1 mol of C)
  • This value is now called Avogadro's number and forms the basis of all quantitative chemistry
  • 1.0 mol= 6.02 x 10^22 atom
  • 1 pair= 2
  • 1 dozen= 12
  • 1 century= 100
  • 1 mol= 6.02 x 10^23
  • One mole represents a huge number of particles
Particle
Atom- element- 6.02 x 10^23/1 mol
Molecule- covalent compound- 6.02 x 10^23/ 1 mol
Formula unit- ionic compound- 6.02 x 10^23/1 mol

Example: 2.47 x 10^25 atoms x 1 mol/ 6.02 x 10^23 atoms = 41 mol

Hydrate Lab

  The purpose of this experiment is to determine the empirical formula of a hydrate.
               - Hydrates are ionic compounds that contain an inorganic salt compound loosely bound to water.

In this lab, we try to determine the anhydrous (without water) mass of the hydrate.

We had to determine the mass of water by boiling the substance over the bunsen burner and measure the test tube with the substance to find out how much water was in that substance.

We determuine the percent by using the formula:

% Error= measured - accepted    x 100
                       accepted

Lewi Dot Diagram

Drawing Electron Dot Diagram:    -the nucleus is represented by the atomic symbol
                                                        -determine the number of valence electrons
                                                        -electrons are represented by dots around the symbol
                                                        -max. electrons each orbital can hold goes 2,8,8...
Example:                                                             Lithium


-in covalent compounds electrons are shared

      Determine the number of valence electron for each atom in the molecule.
      Place atoms so that valence electron are shred to fill each orbital.


-in ionic compounds electrons transfer from one element to another
      Determine the number of valence electrons on each ions
      Put brackets around the metal and non-metal
      Write the charge at the top right of the brackets

Trends on the periodic table.

Elements close to each other on the peroidic table displaysimilar characteristics.
Theres 7 trends to elements: -Reactivity
                                              -Ion Charge
                                              -Melting Point
                                              -Atomic Radius
                                              -Ionization energy
                                              -Electronegativity
                                              -Density

Reactivity
-Metals and non-metals show different trends
-Most reactive metal is Francium
-Most reactive non-metal is Fluorine

Ion charge
Elements ion charges depend on their group


Melting point
Elements in center -> highest M.P.
Noble gases -> lowest M.P.
L<R til middle

Atomic Radius
Decreases from left bottom to top right
Helium smallest
Francium largest

Ionization Energy
the energy needed to completely remove an electron from an atom
Increases from bottom left to top right
All noble gases have high I.E.
Helium highest
Francium lowest

Electronegativity
How much atoms wants to gain electrons
Same trend as Ionization energy

Isotopes & Atoms

Atomic Number: Number of Protons


Atomic Mass- Atomic Number= Number of Neutrons

Mass Spectrometers are used to determine the abundance and mass of the isotopes of elements
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SeDaOigLBTU


How to calculate the average:

- Change each percent to a decimal by dividing by 100
-Multiply by the mass
-Add it all together

Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Theory was from the Bohr Theory- the theory explains the electron is a particle that must be in orbital in the atom.
            - Orbitals are areas in 3D space where the electrons are.
            - Photons are produced when high energy nodes are change to lower energy nodes.
Quantum Mechanics explains the properties of atoms by treating the electron as a wave and quantizing its energy.

There are 4 types of orbitals: S orbitals, P orbitals, D orbitals and F orbitals.

S Orbitals:
- S orbitals are shaped like a sphere.
- Each orbitals hold 2 electrons.
- Located on the far left side of the periodic table.

P Orbitals:
- P orbitals are shaped like footballs
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 3 suborbitals
       - Total electrons are 6
- Located on the far right side of the periodic table

D Orbitals:
- D orbitals are shaped like doughnuts
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 5 suborbitals
       - Total electrons are 10
- Located in the middle of the periodic table

F Orbitals:
- F orbitals are shaped like
- Each orbitals contain 2 electrons
       - Have 7 suborbitals

Atomic Theory

Democritus:

  • Democritus proposed that all mater, the "stuff" that makes up the world around is, is actually composed of tiny, indivisible particles.
  • He called them atomos, from which we get the English word atom.
  • He would have said that you could not cut a piece of aluminum foil into infinitely smaller pieces. Eventually, you would divide the foil into individual atoms, which he thought could be divided no further.
  • An atom is the smallest particle of an element that retains the chemical identity of that element.


Antoine Lavoisier: 

  • Lavoisier carefully measured the mass of substances before and after a chemical reaction and found that the masses were always equal.
  • no mass was gained or lost in a reaction.
  • A chemical reaction neither creates nor destroys matter, but the matter is conserved.


Joseph Louis Proust:

  • Proust found that a given compound always contains the same elements in the same proportions by mass.
  • For example, the mass of water is always 88.9% oxygen and 11.1% hydrogen.


John Dalton:

  • Each element is composed of extremely small particles call atoms.
  • All atoms of a given element are identical, but they differ from those of any other element
  • Atoms are neither created nor destroyed in any chemical reaction
  • A given compound always has the same relative numbers and kinds of atoms

Bohr Diagrams

NEUTRONS AND PROTONS:

Neutrons and protons are located in the nucleus. Write the number of protons and neutrons inside the nucleus using the symbols pand n’.

Number of protons = Atomic Number

Number of neutrons =
Atomic Mass Atomic Number

ELECTRONS:

Electrons are located in orbitals surrounding the nucleus.
Number of electrons = Number of protons

How many electrons can fit in each orbital?

1st orbital = 2 electrons

2nd orbital = 8 electrons

3rd orbital = 8 electrons

4th orbital = 18 electrons

Electrons are always in pairs

EXAMPLE:

Chlorine- Cl
Number of Protons (Atomic Number) = 17
Number of Neutrons (Atomic Mass - Atomic Number) (35-17)= 18

Fluorine- F
Number of Protons (Atomic Number)= 19
Number of Neutrons (Atomic Mass - Atomic Number) (19-9)= 10

Aluminum- Al
Number of Protons (Atomic Number)= 13
Number of Neutrons (Atomic Mass - Atomic Number) (27- 13)= 14
