Study Notes
Branches of Chemistry
- Chemistry studies various substances.
- Branches include physical, inorganic, organic, analytical, and biochemistry.
Importance and Scope of Chemistry
- Chemistry is vital in engineering, medicine, food science, energy, and materials science.
Characteristics of Matter Particles
- Atoms are the fundamental units of matter.
- Matter particles constantly move; movement increases with heat.
- Particles attract each other; attraction strongest in solids.
Pure Substances (Elements and Compounds)
- Elements are basic substances; cannot break down chemically.
- Non-metals, metals, metalloids, and noble gases are types of elements.
- Compounds result from combining elements chemically.
- Elements combine in fixed proportions to form compounds.
Measurement Units
- Non-standard units (e.g., handspan) and standard units are used.
- Larger units for length include Astronomical Unit (AU), light-year (ly), and parsec.
- Larger units for mass include quintal and metric tonne.
Laws of Chemical Combination
- Law of conservation of mass: mass cannot be created or destroyed.
- Law of definite proportions: compounds contain fixed proportions of elements.
- Law of multiple proportions: elements combine in whole number ratios to form compounds.
- Gay-Lussac's law: combining and produced gases react in simple volume proportions.
- Avogadro's law: equal volumes at same temperature/pressure contain the same number of molecules.
Dalton's Atomic Theory
- Matter is composed of atoms.
- Atoms of same element are identical; different elements have different masses.
- Atoms combine in fixed ratios to form compounds.
- Atoms are neither created nor destroyed.
Atomic Mass and Molecular Mass
- Atomic mass unit (amu) is one-twelfth of a carbon-12 atom's mass.
- Molecular mass is sum of atomic masses in a molecule.
- Formula mass is the mass of an ionic compound.
Mole Concept
- One mole contains 6.022 x 1023 particles.
- Mole is a unit for measuring amount of substance.
Percentage Composition
- Mass percent of an element is calculated using its mass and the compound's molar mass.
Empirical and Molecular Formulas
- Empirical formula: simplest whole number ratio of atoms.
- Molecular formula: exact number of atoms in a molecule.
Limiting Reagent
- Limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely used up.
- The reaction stops when the limiting reactant is completely consumed.
Solution Concentration
- Mass percent, molecule fraction, molarity, and molality are used to express solution concentrations.
