question
How to calculate an average atomic mass?
answer

example:

98.93 % 12^c & 1.07% 13^C  masses are 12 amu, and 13.00335.

 

(0.9893)(12amu) + (0.0107)(13.00335amu) = 12.01amu

question
What is Dalton's 1st postulate?
answer
Each element is composed of extremely small particles called atoms.
question
What is Dalton's 2nd postulate?
answer
All atoms of a given element are identicle to one another in mass and other properties, but the atoms of one element are different from the atoms of all other elements.
question
What is Dalton's 3rd Postulate?
answer
The atoms of one element cannot be changed into atoms of a different element by chemical reactions; atoms are neither created nor destroyed in chemical reactions.
question
What is Dalton's 4th postulate?
answer
Compounds are formed when atoms of more than one element combine; a given compound always has the same relative number and kind of atoms.
question
What law can we conclude from Dalton's 4th Postulate?
answer
The law of constant composition
question
What is the law of costant composition?
answer
In a given compound, the relative numbers and kinds of atoms are constant.
question
What law can we conclude from Dalton's 3rd postulate?
answer
Low of conservation of mass a.k.a. law of conservation of matter
question
What is the law of conservation of mass/matter?
answer
The total mass of materials present after a chemical reaction is the same as the total mass present before the reaction.
question
Law of Multiple proportions
answer

 It states that the masses of one element which combine with a fixed mass of the second element are in a ratio of whole numbers

postulate 3

question
What is the formula to calculate oF to oC
answer
oC = 5/9 (oF -32)
question
What is the formula to convert oC to oF?
answer
oF=9/5 (oC) +32
question

Rule #1 of significant figures

 

Zeros between nonzero digits

answer

Always important

ex. 1005 4 sig figs

ex. 1.03 3 sig figs

question

Rule # 2 signifigant figures

 

Zeros at the beginning of a number

answer

NEVER significant

 

(merley indicate the position of the decimal point)

 

ex. 0.02 one significant figure

question

Rule #3 of significant figures

 

Zeros at the end of a number

answer

Are significant if the number contains a decimal point

ex. 0.0200 3 significant figures

ex. 3.0 2 significant figures     

question

Significant figures:

 

In any measurment that is poroperly reported, all nonzero digits are ____

answer
Significant
question
How do you get the Formula Weight?
answer

The sum of the atomic weights of each atom in it's chemical formula.

 

ex.12 C atoms = 12(12.0amu) = 144.0amu       

22 H atoms = 22(1.0) = 22.0amu            

11 O atoms = 11(16.0 amu) = 176.0 amu


Total: 342.0 amu (Formula Weight)

question
What is a molecule?
answer
2 Or more atoms are joined together in specific shapes
question
Pure substance
answer
Distinct properties and a composition that does not very from sample to sample.
question
Intensive properties
answer

Temperatue, melting point, and density

(do not depend on quantity)

question
Extensive properties
answer

(depend on the quantity of the sample)

 

mass and volume

question
What is a chemical reaction?
answer
Substance transforming into a chemically different substance.
question
How do you calculate Molecular Weight?
answer

If the chemical formula is that of that of a molecule, then the formula weight is also called the moecular weight.

 

ex. glucose C6H12O6

MW :6(12.0amu)+12(1.0amu)+6(16.0amu)=180amu

question

Percent Composition from Formulas

 

answer

%element =

 

 (Number of atoms of that element) (atomic weight of element)

 


 

Formula weight of compound

 

x 100%

question

Estimating Numbers of Atoms

 

Ex. Without using a calculator, arrange the following samples in order of increaasing numbers of carbon atoms:12g 12C, 1 mol C2H2, 9 x 1023 molecules of CO2.

answer

1. Analyze- We are given amounts of different substances expressed in grams, moles, and a number of molecules and asked to arrange the samples in order of increasing numbers of C atoms.

 

2. Plan- To determine the number of C atoms in each sample, we must convert g 12C,1 mol C2H3 and 9 x 1023 molecules CO2 all to numbers of C atoms. To make these conversions, we use the definition of mole and Avogadro's number.

 

3. Solve- A mole is defined as the amount of matter that contains as many units of the matter as there are C atoms in exactly 12 g of 12C. Thus, 12g of 12C contains 1 mol of C atoms (that is 6.02 x 1023 atoms). One mol of C2H2 molecule, this sample contains 12 x 1023 C atoms. Because each CO2 molecule contains one C atom, the sample of CO2 contains one C atom, the CO2 contains
