Study Notes

Chemical Formulas and Composition

  • Chemical formula denotes the composition of a molecule.
  • Example: In carbon tetrafluoride (CF4), there are 4 fluorine atoms.

Common Chemical Compounds

  • Zinc fluoride's formula is ZnF2.
  • The compound Zn3(PO4)2 is named zinc phosphate.
  • KClO3 is referred to as potassium chlorate.
  • Fe(NO3)2 is known as iron(II) nitrate.
  • CF4 corresponds to carbon tetrafluoride.
  • N2O3 is named dinitrogen trioxide.
  • The formula for silicon dioxide is SiO2.

Formula Mass and Molar Mass

  • The term "formula mass" refers to the total atomic mass of all atoms in a compound.
  • Ethyl alcohol (C2H5OH) has a formula mass of 46.08 amu.
  • The formula mass of ammonium sulfate ((NH4)2SO4) is 132.16 amu.
  • Molar mass of LiF is 25.94 g/mol; 10.37 g of LiF corresponds to about 0.3998 mol.

Empirical Formulas

  • Empirical formulas represent the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
  • The empirical formula for a compound composed of 53.3% O and 46.7% Si is SiO2.
  • For a compound with 259.2 g of F and 40.8 g of C, the empirical formula is CF4.
  • A compound containing 64 g of O and 8 g of H has the empirical formula H2O.
  • The empirical formula for a compound made of 36.1% Ca and 63.9% Cl is CaCl2.

Chemical Reactions and Balancing Equations

  • A chemical equation is balanced when each type of atom is equal on both sides.
  • In the equation 2Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2MgO(s), Mg is the magnesium reagent.
  • The balanced equation for oxidation of sulfur is S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g).
  • Synthesis reactions occur when two or more substances create a new compound, while decomposition reactions break down a compound into simpler components.

Stoichiometry and Moles

  • Stoichiometry involves calculating the mole ratio of substances in a reaction.
  • In the reaction N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, the mole ratio of hydrogen to ammonia is 3:2.
  • The Haber process requires 3.0 moles of nitrogen gas to completely convert 9.0 moles of hydrogen gas to ammonia.

Yield and Efficiency in Reactions

  • Actual yield refers to the measured amount of product from a chemical reaction.
  • Theoretical yield indicates the maximum possible product.
  • Percentage yield compares actual yield to theoretical yield expressed as a percentage.
  • A 100% yield indicates actual equals theoretical yield.

Kinetic-Molecular Theory

  • The kinetic-molecular theory describes the behavior of solids, liquids, and gases.
  • Real gases differ from ideal gases due to intermolecular forces.
  • Changes in temperature directly affect the average kinetic energy of gas molecules.
  • Effusion is exemplified by air escaping from a punctured tire.
