Converting between Moles to Molecules to Atoms

In this conversion, A mole of any substance is 6.02×1023 molecules of that substance.

To convert moles to atoms, you first convert the mole to molecules then use the element's subscripts and multiply it to the answer.
0.001 moles water × ( 6.02×1023 water molecules
1 mole water
) = 6.02×1020 water molecules
100 water molecules × ( 1 mole water
6.02×1023 water molecules
) = 1.66× 10-22 moles water

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

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.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45KGS1Ro-sc

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
       -  Total electrons are 14
- Located on the bottom of the periodic table

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

Density and Graphing

The Density of an object is it's mass divided by its volume.

d= m/v. and is usually expressed in kg/L, kg/m3, or g/cm3

Ex: d=m/v
       d=135/65
       d= 2.1

Graphing

All graphs must contain 5 important things:
1) Labelled Axis
2)Appropriate Scale
3)Title
4) Data Points
5) Line of Best Fit

To find the slope: m= rise/ run
To find the Area, you must make it into a shape and use the formula of the shape to find the area and add them all up.

Dimensional Analysis

There are only 4 steps to converting:
1) Identify what units you want to end up with
2)Find the conversion factors
3) Place units in the appropriate places
4) Cancel units

For example:

? miles = 120 km
120km * 1 mile/1.6 km= 75 mile

Significant digits and Scientific Notation

How we determine what digits are significant:

-all numbers other than 0 are significant

-if the 0 comes after 4 the decimal

·         341----------------> 3

·         41.002 -----------------> 5

·         0.00110 -------------------> 3



-when we add or subtract two numbers we determine the number of significant digits in the answer by rounding the lowest number of significant digits in the initial number.

-When we multiply or divide two numbers we determine the number of significant digits by rounding the lowest significant digits.

-Round only original numbers.



250,000,000 = 2.5x10(8)

0.00940 = 9.4x10(-3)

7,700,000,000,000 = 7.7x10(12)

0.000,000,000,85 = 8.5x10(-10)  



2.57x10(4) = 25700

1.5x10(-5) = 0.000015

8.11x10(7) = 81100000

3.50x10(-3) = 0.00350

What is wrong with writing 25.10(8)?

You cannot have a two-digit number in the front.
2.58x10(8)

Classification of Matter

-Matters can be classified into Homogeneous substances & Heterogeneous substances
-Homogeneous: consists of only 1 visible component
  -e.g. water, oxygen, graphite, air, brass
-Heterogeneous: contains more than 1 visible component
  -e.g. granite, chocolate chip cookie, sand

                                                                   / Solution
                                      / Homo. Mixtures
            / Homogeneous                                    / Element (e.g. oxygen, Iron)
Matter                                \ Pure Substances
            \ Heterogeneous                                  \ Compound (e.g. water, sugar)
                                       \ Mechanical Mixtures



p.s. Solution   - 2 or more substances
                       - usually involves liquid (e.g. fog, steel)
                       - component in greater amount=solvent
                          - water is the most common solvent
                          - (aq) is used when sth is dissolved in water
                       - component in smaller amount=solute

Seperating Mixtures

-Many methods
    - By hand
    - Filtration      -->   Physical
    - Distillation   -->   Changes
    - Crystallization
    - Chromatography

Balancing and Words Equations

Phase Symbols
  • are subscripts that indicate the phase of the chemical
  • s: solid
  • l: liquid
  • g: gas
  • aq: dissolved in water/solution
Diatomic Molecules are molecules that contains two atoms : H2, N2, O2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2

Polyatomic Molecules are molecules that contains more than 2 atoms : P4, S8

H2O: can also be called HOH. H2O can also be called HOH because in some equations, they will use OH. Since to make balancing easier, HOH is use to make OH a whole instead of H and O.
