    Study Notes

    Accuracy and Precision

    • Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true value
    • Precision refers to how close different measurements are to each other and their average value

    Laws of Chemical Combination

    • Law of Conservation of Mass: Matter cannot be created or destroyed, and the total mass of reactants is equal to the total mass of products
    • Law of Constant Composition or Definite Proportions: A chemical compound is always made up of the same elements combined in the same fixed proportion by mass
    • Law of Multiple Proportions: When two elements form two or more compounds, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other bear a simple ratio to each other
    • Law of Reciprocal Proportions: Not mentioned in the provided text, but will be discussed later
    • Gay Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes: Not mentioned in the provided text, but will be discussed later

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • Example 1: 4.2g NaHCO3 + 10g CH3COOH → 2.2g CO2 + 12.0g residue
    • Example 2: 4.9g H2SO4 + xg NaCl → 6g NaHSO4 + 1.825g HCl

    Law of Constant Composition

    • Example 1: 2.16g Cu → 2.70g CuO, and 1.15g CuO → 0.92g Cu
    • Example 2: 0.5g Ag → 0.66g AgCl, and 1g Ag → 1.32g AgCl
    • Example 3: 1.75g metal → 2.19g CuO, and 1.14g metal → 1.43g CuO
    • Example 4: 29.4g Mg → 49g MgO, and 5.9g Mg → 9.83g MgO
    • Example 5: 45g metal M → 1190g metal oxide, and 86.55g metal → 99.93g metal oxide

    Law of Multiple Proportions

    • Example 1: Carbon forms two oxides with 42.9% and 27.3% carbon respectively
    • Example 2: Lead forms two oxides, with 3.45g yellow oxide losing 0.24g on reduction, and 1.227g brown oxide losing 0.16g on reduction
    • Example 3: Copper forms two oxides, with 0.888g and 0.799g of metal produced on heating 1g of each oxide in hydrogen gas
