Q

What are the 4 rules when dealing with significant figures?

A
  • Nonzero digits are always significant
  • Captive zeros are always significant
  • Leading zeros (despite the decimal place) are never significant
  • Trailing zeros are only significant when the number contains a decimal point (ex: 1.50 vs 100; 1.50 has 3 sigfigs and 100 has 1 sigfig)

Q

Can precision be improved?

A

Repeated measures do not improve precision.

Precision can be quantified by standard deviation. The smaller the SD the greater the precision

The SD is the square root of the data set’s variance

45
What is Density?
Density is the ratio of the mass of an object to its volume d = mass/volume = m/v
46
What is specific gravity?
The ratio between (density of an object / density of water) Specific gravity only equals density when the units of measure are g/mL because the density of water is 1g/mL. No units used in specific gravity because it is a RATIO
47

1.0 g/mL or 1.0g/cm^3 1000kg/m^3 8.33 lb/gal
48
What is matter?

49
How many atoms to form an element
a single atom
50
How many atoms to form a compound

51
What are atoms comprised of
Protons, neutrons, and electrons
52
What is the SI units for atoms
atomic mass units (amu)
53
1 amu = ? kg
1.66 x 10^-27 kg
54
1 mol = ? amu
1 amu
55
What are ions?
Ions are atoms or a group of atoms bonded together that have a net electrical charge This charge can be obtained by adding or removing electrons
56
Charge or cations
(+) charge #protons > #electrons
57
Charge for anions
(-) charge #protons < #electrons
58
Define molecules (molecular compound)
Group of atoms chemically bonded together into a discrete unit by covalent bonds Contains ONLY NON-METALS Electrically NEUTRAL
59
Define Ionic Compounds
Contains (+) charged ions and (-) charged ions Contains METALS & NON-METALS Ionic compounds are NOT molecules
60
What is the difference between physical property and chemical property?
Physical property can be observed or measured without chemical change (ex color) Chemical property describes the chemical changes the material tends to undergo (ex gases are flammable)
61
Define a pure substance
Materials that cannot be physically separated into simpler components Ex: Elements are pure substances
62
T or F Substances are compounds only
False Substances can be either a compound or an element If substances are a compound, then can be chemically separated into its elemental components. Elements are pure substances and cannot be further separated
63
What makes up a mixture
Comprised of 2 or more pure substances Can be resolved into simpler components through physical processes
64
Homogenous mixtures are
uniform in chemical and physical properties
65
Heterogenous mixture
Exhibits distinct phase boundaries between its components Ex: emesis

69
1 proton = ? amu
1.0073 amu or 1.6726 x 10^-27 kg
70
Elements are always
Electrically neutral Therefore, each atom must have an equal # of (+) protons and (-) electrons
71
Define Isotopes
Have the same atomic number but different mass number. In other words, same # protons but different # neutrons
72
What does Dalton's Atomic Theory include?
1) Elements are composed of tiny atoms 2) Compounds are formed by bonding of atoms in a fixed ratio 3) Chemical rxns do not create, destroy, or change atoms; they recombine into a new substance
73
What are the 3 laws used in Dalton's Atomic Theory?
1) Law of Conservation of Mass - no detectable change in the total mass occurs during a chemical rxn 2) Law of Definite Proportions - Different samples of a pure compound always contain the same elements in the same proportion by mass 3) Law of Multiple Proportions - some elements can combine to give more than one compound
74
What are polyatomic ions?
Polyatomic ions are considered ionic compounds as well. They contain 2 or more non-metals plus a metal with an electrical charge (either + or -)
75
How would you name a molecular substance?
- Name each element - Indicate how many of each is present with a prefix multiplier (mono, di, try, tetra, etc...) - Add the suffix "-ide" to the last element name Ex: N2S3 -> Dintrogen trisulfide

84
If a transitional metal forms more than one cation, how do you name it?
You need to name the metal, then indicate the charge on the cation with roman numerals in parentheses ex. Fe3+ - iron (III) cation
85
How do you name monatomic anions?
Add the suffix "-ide" to the stem name ex: Cl- ---> Chloride ion S2- ---> Sulfide ion P3- ---> Phosphide ion
86
How do you name monatomic cations?
Add cation or ion at the end of the name *note, there are no simple cations with charges of +4 Ex: Cu 1+ ---> Copper cation or Copper ion
87
How do you name polyatomic ions?
Some ions like SO4^2- and SO3^2- differ only in a single atom. In these cases, the larger # is given the suffix "-ate" while the smaller # is given the suffix "-ite" SO4^2- would be sulfate ion SO3^2- would be sulfite ion
88
How do you name a hydrate ion?
name the ion then add "hydrate" at the end Ex: CuSO4 * 5H2O - Copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate
89
What is an electrolyte
A substance that dissolves in water to give a solution that conducts electricity
90
What is Avogadro's Number?
Conversion factor between particles and moles 6.02 x 10^23 particles/mol
