Study Notes
- Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties as well as how matter changes
Atomic Mass
- Defined as the mass of an atom
- Measured in atomic mass units (amu) or Daltons (Da)
- Approximately equal to the number of protons plus neutrons in the nucleus
Molecular Mass
- The sum of the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule
- Calculated by adding up the atomic masses of each element multiplied by its subscript in the chemical formula
Molar Mass
- The mass of one mole of a substance
- Numerically equal to the atomic or molecular mass in grams per mole (g/mol)
- Can be determined by adding the atomic masses of the elements in the chemical formula, expressed in grams
Mole Concept
- A mole (mol) is the SI unit for the amount of a substance
- One mole contains exactly 6.02214076 × 10^23 elementary entities (Avogadro's number)
- These entities can be atoms, molecules, ions, or other specified particles
- Provides a bridge between the atomic scale and the macroscopic scale
Stoichiometry
- Deals with the quantitative relationships between reactants and products in chemical reactions
- Based on the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed
- Uses balanced chemical equations to determine the mole ratios of reactants and products
- Mole ratios are used to calculate the amounts of reactants needed or products formed in a reaction
Stoichiometric Calculations
- Involve converting given information (e.g., mass, volume, or number of moles of a reactant) into the desired information (e.g., mass or number of moles of a product) using the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation
Limiting Reactant
- The reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction
- Determines the maximum amount of product that can be formed
- The other reactants are present in excess
Percent Yield
- The actual yield of a product expressed as a percentage of the theoretical yield
- Actual yield is the amount of product obtained from a reaction
- Theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be formed based on stoichiometric calculations
- % Yield = (Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) * 100
Atomic Number
- The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
- Defines the identity of an element
- Denoted by the symbol Z
- Atoms of the same element have the same number of protons
Mass Number
- The total number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom
- Denoted by the symbol A
- Number of neutrons = Mass number - Atomic number (N = A - Z)
Isotopes
- Atoms of the same element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons
- Have the same atomic number but different mass numbers
- Exhibit similar chemical properties
- Some isotopes are radioactive (radioisotopes)
- The abundance of isotopes is the percentage of atoms of a natural sample of the pure element represented by a particular isotope
Isobars
- Atoms of different elements that have the same mass number but different atomic numbers
- Have different numbers of protons and neutrons, but their sum is the same
- Different chemical properties due to different numbers of protons
