Study Notes
- Chemistry worksheet explanations provided
Multiple Choice Questions
- The balanced equation for water formation (Hydrogen + Oxygen → Water) is 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O, ensuring equal atoms on both sides.
- The Lewis structure for carbon dioxide (CO₂) features carbon (C) in the center with double bonds to two oxygen (O) atoms (O=C=O).
- The chemical formula for calcium phosphide is Ca₃P₂, achieved by balancing the charges of Calcium (Ca²⁺) and Phosphide (P³⁻).
- Ionic compounds form between a metal and a non-metal; NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is an example of this.
Balancing Equations
- Balancing equations involves ensuring the number of atoms for each element is the same on both sides of the equation.
- Na + Cl₂ → NaCl is balanced as 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl.
- Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃ is balanced as 4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃.
- N₂ + O₂ → NO₂ is balanced as N₂ + 2O₂ → 2NO₂.
- The combustion of propane C₃H₈ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O is balanced as C₃H₈ + 5O₂ → 3CO₂ + 4H₂O.
- H₂SO₄ + NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + H₂O is balanced as H₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.
- Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂ is balanced as Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂.
- Al₂O₃ + HCl → AlCl₃ + H₂O is balanced as Al₂O₃ + 6HCl → 2AlCl₃ + 3H₂O.
Lewis Structures
- When drawing Lewis structures, count valence electrons, arrange atoms with the central atom in the middle, and use bonds to satisfy the octet rule (except for H, which needs 2 electrons).
- NH₃ (Ammonia) has N in the center, 3 single bonds to H, and a lone pair.
- COCl₂ has C in the center, a double bond to O, and single bonds to two Cl atoms.
- CH₄ (Methane) has C in the center with 4 single bonds to H.
- C₂H₂ (Ethyne) has two C atoms triple bonded to each other, each with one H atom attached.
- CClF₃ has C in the center, a single bond to Cl, and three single bonds to F.
Writing Chemical Formulas
- Combine ions so that their charges cancel out, resulting in a neutral compound.
- Mg²⁺ + N³⁻ → Mg₃N₂
- Al³⁺ + SO₄²⁻ → Al₂(SO₄)₃
- Ca²⁺ + PO₄³⁻ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂
- K⁺ + O²⁻ → K₂O
- Fe³⁺ + Cl⁻ → FeCl₃
Fixing Lewis Structure Errors
- Ensure each atom follows the octet rule, with the exception of hydrogen (H), which requires only 2 electrons.
- Check for the correct number of bonds and electron pairs in the structure.
Identifying and Correcting Errors in Lewis Structures
- A lone pair is missing on N.
- C should not have a lone pair; there should be a double bond between C and O for O to follow the octet rule.
- N has 10 electrons, exceeding the octet rule.
- The correct Lewis structure for the ionic compound is 2Na⁺, O²⁻.
