Study Notes
Moles and Mass Calculations
- Number of moles calculated using mass of sample divided by molar mass (e.g., 5.0g of CaO ÷ 56 g/mol).
- For 21g of copper (Cu), molar mass is essential to find the number of Cu atoms via Avogadro's number.
- The compound with the highest molar mass in a sample of 1.0 mol is N2O5 due to the number of atoms in the molecules.
Atomic Mass and Isotopes
- Average atomic mass from isotopes can be estimated; for unknown elements around 91 amu based on relative abundances.
- Gadolinium (Gd) isotopes suggest an average atomic mass of around 157 amu based on spectrum data.
- A pure element's average atomic mass can be derived from its isotopes, yielding 186.3 amu in a specific example.
Experimental Procedures and Purity
- The purity of BaCl2 can be assessed by comparing moles of Ba in the precipitate with moles in the sample.
- The molar mass of unknown metallic element M can be determined by mass change before and after reaction with oxygen.
- Empirical formulas derived from ratios of moles of C and H can identify substances.
Analytical Techniques
- Mass percent composition aids in determining purity of NaCl, an intensive property.
- Molar masses of components X and Z in a chloride mixture are necessary to calculate mole percent.
- For gas mixtures, molar masses are crucial to find each gas's mole fraction.
Electron Configuration and Spectra
- Atom with electron configuration 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ has zero unpaired electrons.
- The correct ground-state electron configuration of oxygen reflects eight total electrons.
- Magnesium, with atomic number 12, has a specific electron configuration sequence.
Photoelectron Spectra Insights
- The peak corresponding to 1s electrons is identified based on binding energy; it indicates strong nuclear attraction.
- Boron's photoelectron spectrum illustrates electron subshell occupancy matching its configuration.
- Carbon's spectrum demonstrates equal numbers of electrons across occupied subshells, consistent with its structure.
Atomic Radii Trends
- Increasing atomic radius in the nitrogen group explained by decreasing effective nuclear charge as elements descend the group.
- Potassium (K) has a greater atomic radius than bromine (Br) due to lower effective nuclear charge on valence electrons in K.
Ionization Energy and Atomic Behavior
- First ionization energy of K is lower than Ca due to less effective nuclear charge affecting electron attraction.
- Rubidium (Rb) loses electrons more easily than lithium (Li) because Rb's valence electron is further from its nucleus.
- Elements in the same periodic group, like Cs and Rb, react with oxygen in a fixed mole ratio due to similar valence electron configurations.
Ionic Charges and Reactions
- Aluminum typically has a +3 charge in ionic compounds due to its three valence electrons being easily removed.
