    Study Notes

    Laws of Chemical Combination

    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Chemical reactions involve the combination of elements to form compounds.
    • The laws of chemical combination describe the basic principles governing these interactions.

    Law of Conservation of Mass

    • Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.
    • The total mass of the reactants equals the total mass of the products.
    • Lavoisier demonstrated this law through experiments involving the heating of mercury oxide.
    • The reaction 2 HgO (s) → 2 Hg (l) + O2 (g) is an example.

    Law of Definite Proportions

    • In a given chemical compound, the elements are always present in a fixed proportion by mass.
    • The proportion is independent of the origin or method of preparation of the compound.
    • Proust's work illustrates the consistent composition of a compound such as sodium chloride (NaCl) regardless the source.

    Law of Multiple Proportions

    • When two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.
    • This law is demonstrated by carbon monoxide (CO) and carbon dioxide (CO2). The mass ratio of oxygen in the two compounds is 1:2.
    • Dalton's atomic theory explains this law.

    Key Figures

    • Antoine Lavoisier: Demonstrated the Law of Conservation of Mass
    • Joseph Proust: Developed the Law of Definite Proportions
    • John Dalton: Proposed the Law of Multiple Proportions and atomic theory to explain the law.

    Chemical Formulas

    • Chemical formulas represent the composition of a compound in terms of the constituent elements.
    • The formula for water (H₂O) indicates two hydrogen atoms for every one oxygen atom.
