Study Notes
Chemistry and its Role in the World
- Chemistry is a fundamental scientific discipline with broad applications across various fields.
- It plays a crucial role in understanding weather patterns, brain function, computer operation and industrial production.
- Chemistry is involved in the production of essential materials like fertilizers, alkalis, acids, salts, dyes, polymers, drugs, soaps, detergents, metals, alloys, and new materials.
- Environmental concerns such as greenhouse gas management are significant challenges addressed by chemists.
- Areas like biochemical process understanding, enzyme utilization, and novel material synthesis present opportunities for future chemists.
Temperature Scales
- Fahrenheit scale ranges from 32° to 212°.
- The Celsius scale and Fahrenheit scale are related by the equation: °F = (9/5) (°C) + 32.
- The Kelvin scale is related to the Celsius scale by: K = °C + 273.15.
- Negative temperatures are possible in Celsius but not in the Kelvin scale.
Density
- Density is defined as the ratio of mass to volume: Density = Mass / Volume.
- The SI unit of density is kg/m3.
- Chemists often express density in g/cm3.
Atomic Theory
- John Dalton proposed an atomic theory stating that all matter is composed of indivisible particles called atoms.
- Dalton's theory explained the laws of chemical combination but couldn't explain the laws of gaseous volumes.
- Avogadro's proposal, although correct, gained little support initially.
- Stanislao Cannizzaro highlighted the significance of Avogadro's work at the first international chemistry conference in Karlsruhe, Germany.
Atomic and Molecular Masses
- Atomic mass refers to the mass of an atom.
- Atoms are extremely small making their individual masses very small.
- Unified atomic mass unit (u) is used to express atomic mass.
- Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of all elements in a molecule.
- To calculate molecular mass, multiply the atomic mass of each element by the number of its atoms and add them together.
- Examples: Molecular mass of methane (CH4) = 12.011 u + 4 (1.008 u) = 16.043 u
- Examples: Molecular mass of water (H2O) = 2 (1.008 u) + 16.00 u = 18.016 u
Mass
- The amount of matter present in a substance is called its mass.
- Mass is a constant value regardless of location.
- Mass is measured using an analytical balance.
- The SI unit of mass is the kilogram (kg).
- Grams (g) are commonly used in laboratories because smaller amounts of chemicals are used in reactions (1 kg = 1000 g).
Weight
- The force exerted by gravity on an object is called weight.
- Weight is not constant and can vary depending on the gravitational force.
Volume
- The amount of space occupied by a substance is called its volume.
- The SI unit of volume is cubic meters (m³).
- Smaller volumes are commonly used in chemistry laboratories, so volume is often expressed in cubic centimeters (cm³) or cubic decimeters (dm³).
- Liters (L) are a common unit used for measuring the volume of liquids. It is not an SI unit, however.
- 1 L = 1000 mL = 1000 cm³ = 1 dm³
