Study Notes
General Inorganic Chemistry (Part 1) - Chem 101
- This is a first semester course in General Inorganic Chemistry.
- The course content covers a classification of matter, properties of solutions, types of solutions, basic definitions and chemical calculations, molecular mass, mass and percentage composition, volume, chemical calculations relating to density, moles, and other calculations.
- The course also includes atomic spectra, electromagnetic radiation, atomic structure (Bohr's theory and wave mechanics), periodic table, properties of elements (atomic/ionic radius, ionization energy, electron affinity), chemical bonding, ionic and covalent compounds.
- The course discusses various concepts of measurements: number and unit, different SI units, prefixes, volume, and density.
- It covers different types of matters: pure substances (elements and compounds), and mixtures (homogeneous and heterogeneous mixtures).
- Key terms include atoms, molecules, elements, compounds, mixtures, solutions, solute, solvent, molarity, percent composition, empirical and molecular formulas, stoichiometry, mole ratio, and limiting reactants.
- There is an example of how to calculate the mass of one atom of calcium(using the atomic weight and Avogadro's number)
- Specific details are given about the use of moles (molar mass, molecules, or ions) and other key concepts: molar mass of molecules, molecular weight, and molar mass calculations in chemical reactions.
- Information is provided on determining the empirical and molecular formulas of compounds, along with examples to calculate mass percent, mole ratios, and limiting reactants in chemical reactions.
What is Chemistry?
- Chemistry is the study of matter and how it changes.
- It includes energy associated with matter changes.
- Different elements and molecules include hydrogen (H₂), oxygen (O₂), carbon (C), oxygen (O), and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
States of Matter
- States of matter are defined by how a container is filled.
- Solids have a fixed shape, do not conform to containers, and have rigid/organized atoms/molecules.
- Liquids have no specific shape, conform to a container, and have close together/disorganized atoms/molecules.
- Gases have no shape, conform to a container, and have far apart/disorganized atoms/molecules.
Types of Matter
- Pure substances have distinct properties and fixed compositions.
- Pure substances include atoms and molecules, which together form elements.
- Mixtures are combinations of two or more substances. Mixtures keep their original properties and are not fixed. Mixtures are categorized into homogeneous and heterogeneous.
- Homogeneous mixtures have uniform appearance and composition (e.g., air, sugar water).
- Heterogeneous mixtures do not have uniform appearance or composition (e.g., rocks, sand).
Pure Substances: Elements
- Elements cannot be broken down into simpler substances.
- Elements are listed on the periodic table. The periodic table includes elements like carbon (C), oxygen (O), and cobalt (Co).
- There are 118 known elements.
Pure Substances: Compounds
- Compounds are composed of two or more different elements.
- Compounds have a fixed ratio of elements.
- Water (H₂) and peroxide (H₂O₂) are examples of compounds.
- Compounds can be decomposed into elements.
- Examples include sodium chloride (NaCl).
