Study Notes

Definitions

Precision: The degree of agreement among several measurements of the same quantity.
Reproducibility: The ability to obtain the same results when a measurement is repeated.
Specific Heat: The amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a particular substance by one degree Celsius.
Isotopes: Two or more atoms of the same element with the same atomic number (number of protons) and nearly identical chemical behaviour, but with a differing mass number (number of protons plus neutrons).
Heterogeneous Mixture: A mixture consisting of dissimilar or diverse ingredients that are not evenly distributed throughout.

Chemical Formulas

Ammonium: NH₄⁺
Sulfate: SO₄^2-
Sodium ion: Na⁺
Phosphate: PO₄^3-
Aluminum ion: Al³⁺
Carbonate: CO₃^2-
Calcium ion: Ca²⁺
Nitrate: NO₃^-

Ionic Compounds

Cation	NO₃^-	CO₃^2-	Cl^-	OH^-
NH₄⁺	NH₄NO₃	(NH₄)₂CO₃	NH₄Cl	NH₄OH
Ba²⁺	Ba(NO₃)₂	BaCO₃	BaCl₂	Ba(OH)₂
Al³⁺	Al(NO₃)₃	Al₂(CO₃)₃	AlCl₃	Al(OH)₃

Enthalpy Change

The reaction of hydrogen gas and oxygen gas to produce water is exothermic.
This means energy is released by the system.

Ionic Compounds Formed

a. PbSO₂
b. Ca(NO₃)₂
c. Ba₃(PO₄)₂

Ionic Compounds Names

a. Lead(IV) Sulfate
b. Calcium Nitrate
c. Barium Phosphate

Percentage Composition

The percentage of oxygen in the sample is 31.4%.

Specific Heat and Temperature

Reasoning: The substance with the lowest specific heat capacity will have the lowest temperature after absorbing the same amount of heat. This is because a lower specific heat capacity means less heat is required to raise the temperature of the substance by one degree Celsius, resulting in a greater temperature change for the same amount of heat absorbed.
Conclusion: Lead will have the lowest temperature after absorbing 100.0 kJ of heat because it has the lowest specific heat capacity.

Volume of Air

The volume of air that contains 682 mL of argon is 73,333 mL or 73.33 L.

Density of Solid

a. The volume of the solid is 35 mL.
b. The density of the solid is 1.4 g/mL.
