    Study Notes

    Chemical Reactions and Conservation of Mass

    • Observations of baking soda reaction demonstrated gas evolution indicated by bubble formation.
    • Mass decrease noted in open flask due to carbon dioxide escaping.
    • In stoppered flask, carbon dioxide gas was trapped, showing that the gas has mass.
    • Law of conservation of mass: mass before a chemical change equals mass after the change.
    • Principle: "Matter can neither be created nor destroyed by chemical means."

    Law of Definite Composition

    • Joseph-Louis Proust's experiments in 1797 revealed that compounds, like iron and oxygen, have fixed proportions.
    • 100 g of iron consistently reacts with 115 g of oxygen: 46.51% iron and 53.49% oxygen by mass.
    • Any sample of a compound reflects the same proportion by mass of its elements, supporting the law of definite composition.

    Chemistry Analogy

    • Cooking analogy: Using the same ingredients can yield different dishes based on proportions.
    • Elements can combine in various ways to form different compounds, akin to different recipes.

    Law of Multiple Proportions

    • John Dalton’s work suggested if two elements form multiple compounds, their masses are in whole number ratios.
    • Example: 100 g of tin reacts with either 13.5 g or 27 g of oxygen in a 1:2 ratio.
    • Carbon and oxygen example: 100 g carbon with either 133.3 g or 266.6 g oxygen shows fixed mass ratios.

    Dalton’s Atomic Theory

    • Revived and revised Democritus's concept of “atomos” (indivisible particles).
    • Atoms are indestructible, according to John Dalton, who emphasized experimental support for atomic theory.
    • Dalton proposed key postulates, laying a foundation for modern chemistry.

    Historical Context

    • Democritus' ideas on atoms were overlooked for centuries due to lack of experimental validation.
    • Contributions from Joseph Priestly, Antoine Lavoisier, and others were significant in establishing chemical principles and mass conservation.
