1
Q

Dimensional Analysis

A

A method of mathmatical analysis which involves converting between units.

2
Q

Percent Composition

A

The amount of a given element in a compound.

3
Q

Scientific Notation

A

A way of expressing really large or really small numbers.

4
Q

Negative Exponents in Scientific Notation

A

Negative Exponents in Scientific Notation mean you should move the decimal to the left to change the number to standard notation.

5
Q

Turning Standard Notation into Scientific Notation

A

If the number is greater than 1, the exponent will be positive.

If the number is less than 1, the exponent will be negative.

6
Q

The Mole

A

A unit of measure.

1 mole = the atomic mass of an element

and

1 mole = 6.02 E23 atoms, particles, molecules, units, etc.

7
Q

Positive Exponents in Scientific Notation

A

Postive Exponents mean move the decimal to the right when changing a number to standard notation.

8
Q

Significant Figures

A

All the digits in a measurement that are known with certainty plus a last digit that must be estimated.

9
Q

Rules for Multiplying and Dividing with Significant Figures

A

The result has the same number of significant figures as the factor with the fewest significant figures.

10
Q

Rules for Adding and Subtracting with Significant Figures

A

The result has the same number of decimal places as the number with the fewest decimal places.

11
Q

Percent Error

A
12
Q

How many atoms are in 2.7 moles of iron?

A

2.7 moles Fe x (6.02x10²³ atoms Fe/1 mole Fe) =

1.6 x 10²⁴atoms Fe

13
Q

How many moles are in 3.67 x 10²⁴ molecules of SO₂?

A
  1. 67 x 10²⁴ molecules SO₂ x (1 mole SO₂/6.02x10²³ molecules SO₂)=
  2. 10 moles SO₂
14
Q

9.08 g of Al₂0₃ is equal to how many moles?

A

9.08 g Al₂0₃ x (1 mole Al₂0₃/101.96 g Al₂0₃) = 0.0890 moles Al₂0₃

15
Q

What mass of copper (II) sulfide is equal to 4.79 x 10²² atoms?

A
  1. 79 x 10²² atoms CuS x (1 mole CuS/6.02x10²³ atoms CuS) x (95.61 g CuS/1 mole CuS) =
  2. 61 g CuS
16
Q

What is the percent composition of oxygen in CuSO₄?

A

mass of CuSO₄= 63.546 + 32.065 + 4(15.999) = 159.7 grams

Mass of oxygen = 4(15.999) = 64 grams

(64/159.7) x (100%) = 40.1. %O

17
Q

A compound contains 21.6 g of silver and 3.21 g of sulfur, what is the percent composition?

A

21.6/(21.6+3.21) = 87.1% Ag

3.21/(21.6+3.21) = 12.9%S

18
Q

Convert 71,200 inches to miles.

1 ft = 12 inches

1 mile = 5280 feet

A
19
Q

Convert 89.2 inches to centimeters.

2.54 cm = 1 inch

A
20
Q

Convert 5.2L to quart.

1 gallon = 3.785 L

1 gallon = 4 quartds

A
21
Q

Scientific Notation Example

A

Scientific notation (exponential notation) represents very large or very small numbers as powers of ten.

22
Q

To convert a number greater than 1 to scientific notation?

A

The original decimal point is moved n places to the left, and the resulting number is multiplied by 10^n.

23
Q

To convert a number less than 1 to scientific notation?

A

the original decimal point is moved n places to the right, and the resulting number is multiplied by 10^-n.

24
Q

Significant Figure Rules for Addition and Subtraction:?

A

The answer of a calculation based on measurements cannot have greater significance than any of the measurements that produced the answer.

The least certain measurement (fewest decimal places) limits the certainty of the calculated answer.

*Line up the decimal points and report the answer based upon the fewest decimal places.

25
Q

Significant Figure Rules for Multiplication and Division:?

A

The calculated answer can be no more precise than the least precise number from which the answer is derived.
The least precise number is the one with the fewest sig figs.

26
Q

Rules for Rounding Off Numbers?

A
  1. When the leftmost number removed is less than 5, the preceding number is left unchanged.
    Ex: Round 45.2624 to four significant digits: 45.26

  1. When the leftmost digit removed is 5 or greater, the
    preceding number is increased by 1.
    Ex: Round 3.75 to two significant figures: 3.8
27
Q

Rules for Significant Figures?

A

1) ALL non-zero numbers (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) are ALWAYS significant.

2) LEADING zeroes are NEVER significant
3) Zeroes CAPTURED between non-zero numbers are ALWAYS significant.
4) TRAILING zeroes without a decimal are NEVER significant
5) TRAILING zeroes with a decimal are ALWAYS significant.
6) When using SCIENTIFIC NOTATION all digits in front of “x 10‾³” or “E-3” are ALWAYS significant
