Study Notes
Atomic Masses
- Find the mass of an element by looking at the periodic table
- The value is often represented in atomic mass units (amu)
Molecular Masses
- Add the masses of all the atoms in a molecule to find the total mass
Moles
- Calculate moles by dividing the mass of a sample by its molar mass
- Use the formula: moles = mass / molar mass
Number of Electrons
- The number of electrons in a neutral atom equals the atomic number
Number of Protons
- The number of protons always equals the atomic number
Number of Neutrons
- Subtract the atomic number from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number) to find the number of neutrons
Electronic Configuration
- Arrange electrons into orbitals (like 1s, 2s, 2p, etc.) based on the atomic number
- Follow the layout of the periodic table for this arrangement
Oxidation State
- Assign values to each atom in a molecule based on common rules
- Balance the values so the total matches the compound’s overall charge
Molarity
- Molarity represents the concentration of a solution
- Calculate molarity by dividing the moles of solute by the solution's volume in liters
- The result is expressed in moles per liter
Separation of Mixtures
- Each separation technique relies on differences in the properties of components within the mixture
Filtration
- Separates solids from liquids based on their solubility
- For example, separating sand from gold dust
Distillation
- Separates components of a mixture by boiling off one or more components
- Relies on differences in boiling points
Chromatography
- Separates substances based on their interaction with a solid and liquid phase
- Uses differences in solubility in a solvent
Temperature
Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K)
- Commonly used in science
- 0 degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water
- 100 degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water
- Kelvin equals degrees Celsius plus two hundred seventy-three point one five
Fahrenheit (°F)
- Not typically used in scientific measurements
- Degrees Fahrenheit equals nine-fifths of degrees Celsius, plus thirty-two
Volume
Liter (L) and milliliter (mL)
- Common metric units for volume
- One liter is a cube with sides of one decimeter
- One milliliter is a cube with sides of one centimeter
Atomic Masses and Molecules
- Find the atomic mass of an element on the periodic table, usually in atomic mass units (amu).
- Calculate molecular mass by adding the atomic masses of all atoms in a molecule.
Moles and Atomic Structure
- Calculate moles by dividing the sample's mass by its molar mass (from the periodic table): moles = mass / molar mass.
- Electrons in a neutral atom equal the atomic number.
- Protons always equal the atomic number.
- Neutrons are calculated by subtracting the atomic number from the atomic mass (rounded to the nearest whole number).
Electronic Configuration
- Arrange electrons in orbitals (like 1s, 2s, 2p, etc.) based on the atomic number, following the periodic table layout.
Oxidation State
- Assign values to each atom according to common rules and balance them so the total matches the compound’s overall charge.
Molarity
- Determine molarity by dividing the moles of solute by the solution’s volume in liters, giving the concentration in moles per liter.
Separation of Mixtures
- Different separation techniques exploit differences in the properties of each component in the mixture.
- Filtration: Separates solids from liquids based on solubility differences, like separating sand and gold dust.
- Distillation: Separates components by boiling off one or more based on boiling point differences.
- Chromatography: Separates substances based on how they interact with a solid and liquid phase, using differences in solubility in a solvent.
Temperature Scales
-
Celsius (°C) and Kelvin (K): Commonly used in science.
- Zero degrees Celsius is the freezing point of water.
- One hundred degrees Celsius is the boiling point of water.
- Kelvin equals degrees Celsius plus two hundred seventy-three point one five.
-
Fahrenheit (°F): Not typically used in scientific measurements.
- Degrees Fahrenheit equals nine-fifths of degrees Celsius, plus thirty-two.
Volume
-
Liter (L) and milliliter (mL): Common metric units for volume.
- One liter is a cube with sides of one decimeter.
- One milliliter is a cube with sides of one centimeter.
