    Study Notes

    Moles

    • Moles are the units used in stoichiometry, the science of measuring elements and substances, describing their interaction in chemical reactions.
    • They quantify very large numbers of atoms.

    Atomic Mass Unit (AMU)

    • AMU is the unit for measuring atomic masses of pure substances.
    • It's used to express masses of atoms, molecules, compounds, or subatomic particles.

    Mole (mol, N)

    • Mole describes the quantity of atoms/ions/molecules in a pure substance.
    • 1 mole equals the atomic mass of an element/compound in grams.
    • 1 mole equals Avogadro's number.
    • 1 mole equals the molar mass.

    Avogadro's Number

    • Discovered in the early 19th century by Amedeo Avogadro.
    • Represents the number of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in one mole.
    • Always 6.02 x 1023 particles per mole.

    Molar Mass

    • Mass of one mole, expressed in grams.
    • Differs for each element because of varying numbers of protons, electrons, and atomic masses.

    Properties of Pure Substances

    • Using molar mass to convert between mass, moles and numbers of particles
    • Relates mass in grams, number of moles and Avogadro’s number

    Solving for number of elements in a molecule/compound

    • Given moles, use Avogadro's number to find the number of atoms.
    • Given mass, use molar mass to find the number of moles then use Avogadro's number to find the number of atoms

    Percent Composition

    • Percentage of each element in a compound.
    • Sum of all percentages equals 100%.

    Empirical and Molecular Formulas

    • Empirical Formula (EF): Simplified formula for a compound (e.g., CH2)
    • Molecular Formula (MF): True formula for the actual molecule (e.g., C6H12O6)

    Volcanoes

    • Volcano: A crack, opening, or hole in the Earth's crust allowing lava/magma/ash and gasses to be expelled.
    • Parts of a Volcano:
      • Layers of Ash & Lava.
      • Secondary Vent.
      • Rock Layers in Earth's Crust.
      • Crater(top of volcano)
      • Lava Flow.
      • Vent(Main opening through which Volcanic materials are released)
      • Magma Chamber(Underground compartment where magma is stored)
    • Caldera: When the volcanic hole gets filled with water.
    • Lava Plateau: A landform created by lava flow.

    Layers of the Earth

    • Atmosphere.
    • Ocean.
    • Crust (solid).
    • Lithosphere (tectonic plates).
    • Asthenosphere (Lubricant for tectonic plates).
    • Mantle (mostly contains ultramafic silicates).
    • Outer Core (liquid).
    • Inner Core (rigid).
    • Moho( boundary between crust and mantle.)

    Tectonic Plates

    • Tectonic plates: large pieces of the Earth's crust that move due to convection currents.
    • Convergent Plates: move towards each other(destructive) (volcanoes, oceanic, continental)
    • Divergent Plates: move apart (silent).
    • Trenches: Form when two oceanic plates collide (making an opening)
    • Hotspots: Volcanoes formed when magma rises through the crust and not from plate movement.
    • Gas Plumes: Upward movement of magma, gas, water; formation of volcanoes.

    Types of Volcanoes

    • Shield Volcanoes: Large, broad slopes, multiple vents
    • Composite Volcanoes (Stratovolcanoes): Steep, symmetrical, multiple vents
    • Cinder Cones: Smallest, bowl-shaped, one vent.
    • Based on Dormacy(Life):
      • Active (large probability of erupting again)
      • Dormant (not currently erupting, but has erupted or expected to).
      • Extinct (not erupted in a long time and not expected to erupt again).

    Effects and Mitigation of Volcanic Eruptions

    • Types of eruptions:
      • Effusive (quiet): Gentle lava flow
      • Explosive (violent): Violent eruptions, pyroclastic materials, ash.
      • Phreatic (steam-driven): Water heated and turned to steam by the volcano.
    • Effects
      • Dome growth
      • Mudflows (lahars)
      • Lava flows
      • Pyroclastic flows and ashfall
      • Soil enrichment
      • Volcanic island formation
      • Mineral production and creation
      • Global cooling
      • Hot springs and Geothermal energy
