Mole


The mole is a unit of measurement used in chemistry to express of a chemical substance.



Avogadro's Hypothesis:
Two equal volumes of gas, at the same temperature and pressure, contain the same number of molecules.

Avogadro's Law: 
At a constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of that gas.
Avogadro's Number:
6.022*10^23 particles/mole



Atomic Mass:
the mass of a specific isotope, expressed in atomic mass unit (amu)
Formula Mass:
the mass of all atoms of an ionic compound (in amu)
Molecular Mass:
the mass of all atoms of a covalent compound (in amu)

Example:
What is the relative mass formula of sodium chloride? (Relative atomic masses: Na = 23, Cl = 35.5)
Solution:
Sodium Chloride is an ionic solid with the formula Na+Cl-.
The relative mass formula of sodium chloride is



Example:
What is the relative mass formula of water? (Relative atomic masses: H = 1, O = 16)
Solution:
The formula for water is H2O. Each molecule contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen atom.
The relative mass formula of water is

Graphing

Today, we learnt to use Excel to show the relationship between variables.




    Procedure:
  • Make a table of values
  • Base on the values, create a scatter graph
  • Add Trendline, and display the equation of the graph
  • Customize the color of your graph

Slope=Rise/Run


For example, the following graph shows the density of Al:

LAB 2E

Determine Aluminum Foil Thickness


Equipment




















Today, we learnt how to calculate to thickness of aluminum foil.


Procedure
  1.  Use a centigram balance to measure the mass(g) of a rectangular piece of aluminum foil. 
  2.  Use the metric ruler to measure the length(cm) and width(cm) of the aluminum foil. 
  3.  Record the measurement in the table.
  4.  Repeat the procedure above two more times.
Since we've already known the density of aluminum is 2.7 g/cm3, by using the formula V=M/D, and V=LGH, we can calculate the thickness of aluminum foil!

Density


-The mass density or density of a material is defined as its mass per unit volume.
-We can use these formulas to calculate the density, mass and the volume.
 Density=mass/volume, Mass=density x volume, Volume =mass/density
-possible units =g/mL, g/L, g/cm², kg/L etc.
-1cm³=1mL
-Density of water=1.0g/mL

-Density problem
1. What is the density of a piece of wood that has a mass of 25.0 grams and a            volume of 29.4 cm3?
Answer: D=25.0g/29.4cm³=0.850 g/cm3
2. A piece of wood that measures 3.0 cm by 6.0 cm by 4.0 cm has a mass of 80.0 grams. What is the density of the wood? Would the piece of wood float in water?  (Volume = L x W x H)
Answer: V=3*6*4=72cm³
                D=80.0g/72cm³=1.1 g/cm3; No, it would not float on water
3. I threw a plastic ball in the pool for my dog to fetch. The mass of the ball was 125 grams. What must the volume be to have a density of 0.500 g/mL.
Answer: V=125g/0.500g/mL=2.50 x 102 mL  (250.mL)



Measurement and Uncertainty



Measurement and Uncertainty
-No measurement is exact.
-Only count a set of object can get an exact number.


Absolute Uncertainty
Method1: 

  • make at least three measurement
  • calculate the average
  • the absolute uncertainty is the largest difference between average and lowest or highest reasonable measurement
Example:
trial#               Mass of object(g)
1                               20.5
2                               20.6
3                               20.3
4                               19.5 (remove)
5                               20.7

(20.5+20.6+20.3+20.7)/4=20.5g
Average:12.5
Difference between average and lowest:20.7-20.5=0.2g
Difference between average and highest:20.5-20.3=0.2g
The mass would be recorded as 20.5±0.2g





Method2: Determine the uncertainty of each instrument
Always make the best precision that you can,estimate to a fraction 0.1 of the smallest segment on the instrument scale.




Relative uncertainty=absolute uncertainty/estimated measurement
can be expressed in

  • percentage
  • significant figures

Significant figures & Rounding rules



Significant Figures
The significant figures of a number are those digits that carry meaning contributing to its precision. 



Identifying significant digits

  • All non-zero digits are considered significant.
  • Zeros between non-zero digits (or other significant digits) are significant.
  • Leading zeros are not significant.
  • Trailing zeros in a number containing a decimal point are significant.
  • The significance of trailing zeros in a number not containing a decimal point can be ambiguous. 

Round down  
  • Whenever the digit following the last significant figure is 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4.
  • If the last significant figures is an even number and the next digit is a 5, with no other non-zero digits
Round up
  • Whenever the digit following the last significant figure is a 6, 7, 8, or 9.
  • If the digit following the last following the last significant figure is a 5 followed by a non-zero digit.
  • If the last significant is an odd number and the next digit is a 5, with no other non-zero digits.


Multiplication and division

The final result of a multiplication or division should have only as many significant figures as the number with the least number of significant figures i the calculation.

Addition and subtraction

The final result of an addition or subtraction should have only as many decimal places as the number with the least number of decimal places used in the calculation.

Let's Do A Example Now

Lab 3B

Separation of a Mixture by Paper Chromatography












                


                  




LAB TIME!!!


We spot the food colorings to the 22 cm strips. 
Then we put the strips into the test tube with 
water. The components would slowly travel up. At last,
 we can see different color components on 
the strip.

We did red, blue, and yellow food colorings in the class. Those are primary color components.Then we found out that green food coloring is mixed by blue and yellow components, the unknown mixture is mixed by blue, red, yellow components.By finding Rf values, we can figure out what a mixture is made up. 



             
Calculate Rf

measuring the distance the sample traveled, you should measure from the origin (where the middle of the spot originally was) and then to the center of the spot in its new location.









To calculate the Rf value, we use the equation:
Rf =distance traveled by the sample component
distance traveled by the solvent

Acids

How acids are formed.
Example
H + Cl →HCl(g)
ionic "non-acid" hydrogen chloride
HCl(g) + H2O(l) → H3O(aq) + Cl(aq)
     hydrochloric acid


Rules for naming simple acids
1.The prefix "hydro" is used as the beginning of the acid name
2.The last syllable in the name of the non-metalis replaced with the ending "ic"
3.The word "acid" is added at the end.
Example
HCl(aq) hydrogen chloride hydrochioric acid
H2S(aq) hydrogen sulphide hydrosulphuric acid
(formula)                    (acid name)


Rules For Naming Complex Acids
1.The world "hydrogen" is dropped from the icon non-acid name.
2.If the negatively changed polyatomicion name ends in the suffix "ate" it is replaeedwith "ic" in the acid name "ite". It is replaced with "ous" in the acid name
3.The word "acid" is added at the end.
Example
HClO4(aq) hydrogen chlorate Cloric acid
HClO (aq) hydrogen hypochlotite hypochiorous acid


We ate - ic sushi and got appendic - ite - ous.


-Law of Definite Covnposition  (Proust's Law)
-chemical compound always has the same proportion of elements by mass.
Ex.: H2O has two atoms of Hand 1 atom of 0 for a total mass of 18g CH = 2g and O = (6g) witch would apply anywhere in the universe.


-Law of Multiple Proportion (Daltion's Law)
-Same elements can combine in more than one proportion to form diffenent compounds.
Ex. FeO and Fe2O3

Separation
Component in a mixture retain their identities.
The more similar the properties are the more differernt it is so to seperate them.

Some Basic Techinques
Filtration
Floatration
Distillation
Chromatography
Crystallization and Extraction

Hand Separation and Evaporation
Hands separation (solids and solids)
A mechanical mixture can be separated by using a magnet or sieve.

Evaporation
Boil away the liquid and the solid remain.

Filtration
Pass a mixture through a porous life.
Use filter paper --residue left in filter paper,filtrate goes through filter paper.

Crystallizaton
Precipitation
Solid are then separated by filteration or floatation.
Use a saturated solution of a desired solid.
Evaporate or cool-solid comes out as pure cystals, then filtered.

Gravity Separation (solid base on density)
A centrifuge whirls the test tube around at high speed forcing the denser materials to the botton.(works best for small volume)

Solvent extraction
Mechenical Mixture:Use liquid to dissolve and solid but not the other,so the desied solid is left behind or dissolved.
Solution--solvent is insoluble with solvent already present.

Distillation (liquid in liquid solution)
Heating a mixture can cause low boiling component to volatilize(vaporize).
Then collect and condense the volatilied component.

Chromatography
Flow the mixture over a material that retain some components more than others.so different component flow over the material at different speeds
A mobile phase sweeps the sample over a stationary phase (as the wind sweeps the swam over the flower bed)

Sheet chromatography Paper chromatography (PC)
Stationary phase is liquid soaked into a sheet or strip of paper
Components appear as separate spots spreeds out on the paper after drying or "developing"

Sheet Chromatography Thin layer Chromatography
Stationary phase in a thin layer of absorbent containg a sheet of plastic or glass.
Some components bond to the absorbent strangly other more wearly.







Heating Curve


A
: Solid; closely packed in an orderly manner, strong bonds and vibrates at a fixed position
A----B : heat energy converts to kinetic energy (KE), vibrate a little faster, temperature increase
B: Same to "A"
B
----C: temperature remains the constant, because heat is used to overcome forces of attraction that hold particles together.
_Melting point_ (solid --- liquid):heat absorbed is  heat of fusion
C: Liquid;all solid has melted
C
----D: Temperature and KE increases, particles move faster
D: start turning from liquid to gas
D----
E:  temperature stays the same since heat is used to overcome the forces of attraction that hold the particles together
_Boiling point_ (liquid -> gas)
E: Gas 
E----
F: Heating continues, KE and temp increases; particles move faster




Cooling Curve

P: Gas; particles have more high energy and moves quickly
P→Q: KE decreases, particles are getting closer together, temperature decrease
Q:  start to form intermolecularbonds, condensation begins, liquid starts to form
Q
→R: condensation, stronger bonds formed,temperature remains constant, heat energy  released called latent heat of vaporization
_Boiling point_ (gas --- liquid)
R: Liquid state
R
→S: Temperature and KE decreases, molecules lose energy, vibrate slower and moves closer to each other
S: Starts to freeze into solid
S→T:particles arrange in an ordered manner
_Freezing point_ (liquid to solid)
T: Solid
T→U: Temperature decreases
U: Substances has reached room temperature
U
→V: Remains as a solid in room temperature
