What is chemistry?
study of electrons, atoms and molecules that make up matter and the changes they undergo during some process
adding sig figs
stay the same exponent
multiplying sig figs
adding the exponents
how many sig figs in 0.31
2
sig figs in 12.0
3
in 0.310
3
sig figs in addition
lowest amount after decimal
multiplication/division
least amount of sig figs
converting between units
amount * (how much/in one unit)
2.46$ to pennies
2.46 * (100 pennies/1dollar) = 246
how much is 1 kg in g
1000
how much is 1 L in cm^3
1000 cm^3
law of conservation of mass
matter isn’t created or destroyed
dalton’s atomic theory (4):
1) all matter is made up of small, indivisible particles called atoms
2) atoms in same element have same mass (diff elements, diff properties)
3) atoms of diff elements combine in simple whole number ratios
4) chemical reactions result in separation, combination or rearrangement of atoms
dalton definition
atoms are small and indivisible
mass # = ?
a # protons + # neutrons
atomic # = ?
a # protons
isotopes
atoms having same # protons but diff # neutrons
atomic mass units (amu)?
masses of atoms = mass #
mass # ?
average of isotopic masses
molecular formula
exact # and ratio of each element
(H2O)
structural formula
how atoms are bonded together
(H-O-H)
empirical formula
simplest whole # ratio (H2O2 = HO)
avogadros number
6.022 x 10^23 = 1 mole
molar mass
mass in grams of 1 mole = mass #
molecular mass
average mass (amu)
molecular formula
some multiple of empirical formula
chemical reaction
process in which a substance is changed into one or more new substances
stoichiometry
study of quantitative aspects of chemical recations
what does the quantity of product formed from a reaction depend on?
amount of reactant available
limiting reagent
consumed reagent
excess reagent
leftover reagent
limiting reagent is the
substance is is not enough to consume other reactant
molarity (M)
moles solute/litres solution
Molality (m)
moles solute/kg solvent
mole fraction (Xa)
moles/ (moles a + moles b + moles c)
weight percent
(g solute/g solution) x 100%
what are the 2 methods to prepare solutions of a specific concentration?
1 - weight out a solid solute and dissolve in a given quantity of solvent
2 - dilute a concentrated solution to give one that is less concentrated
preparing solutions by dilution shortcut?
(Mi)(Vi)=(Mf)(Vf)
what are 3 characteristics of gases
1 - uniformly fill any container
2 - mix with any other gas
3 - exert pressure on its surroundings
pressure =
force/area (units of Pa = N/m^2)
1 atm = ?
101.325 kPa = 760 mm Hg
manometers?
finding pressure of enclosed gas
ideal gas law
pV=nRT (is emprirical)
gas density
d = (p(MM))/(RT)
for mixture if gases, overall pressure??
sum of all partial pressures (p1 + p2 + p3)
what is kinetic molecular theory?
theoretical model to explain macroscopic behaviours based on microscopic properties of atoms and molecules in gas
what are the assumptions of KMT?
1 - gas molecules are in straight line constant motion
2 - volume of individual particles is 0
3 - collisions cause pressure exerted by gas
4 - particles don’t attract to repel each other except during collisions
5 - average KE is proportional to temp of gas (K)
pressure exerted is proportional to?
1 - momentum w/ which gas particles hit the wall (momentum = mv)
2 - rate of collisions w/ the wall
p =
= = (Nmv^2)/V
3d p =?
= = (Nmv^2)/3V
KE = ?
(1/2)(mv^2)
particles travel faster…?

diffusion
gradual mixing of molecules of diff gases
effusion
escape of gas from its container thru a small hole
graham’s law
