    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.
