Density

Density is a measure of how much mass is contained in a given volume. It is calculated by dividing the mass of a substance by its volume. A substance with higher density will sink in a substance with lower density.

Atomic Notation

Atomic Notation is a shorthand way of representing an atom. It uses the element symbol, the atomic number (number of protons), the mass number (total number of protons and neutrons), and sometimes the charge of the atom. The format is: (atomic number)X(mass number) where X is the element symbol. For example, 12C6 represents a carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons.

Number of Protons

The number of protons in an atom's nucleus determines the element. Every atom of a specific element will have the same number of protons. It is also equal to the atomic number. For example, all carbon atoms have 6 protons.

Number of Neutrons

The number of neutrons in an atom's nucleus determines the isotope of an element. Different isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. For example, Carbon-12 and Carbon-14 are both isotopes of carbon, but Carbon-12 has 6 neutrons while Carbon-14 has 8 neutrons.

Net Charge

The net charge of an atom is determined by the balance between the number of protons (positive charge) and electrons (negative charge). When an atom loses or gains electrons, it becomes an ion with a positive or negative charge, respectively. For example, Na+ has lost an electron, while Cl- has gained an electron.

Study Notes

Exam 1 CHEM 106-014

  • Exam Format: Multiple Choice. Write the exam version on the scantron.

Question 1

  • Measurement Uncertainty: Dr. King measured a porch 76.445m. The uncertainty is ±0.005m.

Question 2

  • Balance Accuracy: Analytical balance has the least uncertainty (±0.0001g), followed by electronic (±0.001g), beam (±0.01g), and platform (±0.1g) balances.

Question 3

  • Liquid Characteristics: Liquids have a definite volume but no definite shape.

Question 4

  • Atomic Description: Protons and neutrons reside in the nucleus, and electrons orbit around the nucleus.

Question 5

  • Molecule Definition: Molecules are mixtures of two or more elements, with fixed ratios. Another key detail is that they are chemically joined together..

Question 6

  • Isotope Identification: The isotope with 27 protons, 33 neutrons, and 27 electrons is cobalt-60.

Question 7

  • Homogeneous Mixtures: A homogeneous mixture is formed when substances are mixed evenly like sugar in coffee, salt in water, and ice tea, lemonade. Mud and water are heterogeneous.

Question 8

  • Intensive Properties: Intensive properties, like density, melting point, and color, do not depend on the amount of substance. Mass is an extensive property. Boiling point is an intensive property.

Question 9

  • Significant Figures: 6.3 * 3.25 = 20.5 when rounded according to significant figures.

  • Significant Figures Count: Three significant figures are present in 0.509, 1.050, and 1.06×10^24.

Question 11

  • Significant Figures in Addition: 5.2143 + 0.633 + 12.91 = 18.8 when rounded correctly to significant figures.

Question 12

  • Unit Conversion: 30 miles per gallon (mpg) equals 70 kilometers per liter (km/L)

Question 13

  • Temperature Conversion: 122°F equals 50.0°C.

Question 14

  • Temperature Conversion (K to °F): 300 K is equal to 81°F

Question 15

  • Molar Mass Calculation (Krypton): 7.98 moles of Krypton has a mass of 560 g.

Question 16

  • Atoms in SO2: 2.50 moles of SO2 contains 1.51 × 10^24 atoms of oxygen.

Question 17

  • Wave Interference: When waves of equal amplitude from two sources interfere out of phase, it's called destructive interference.

Question 18

  • Average Atomic Mass Calculation: The average atomic mass of gallium is 69.72 amu.

Question 19

  • Chloroform Volume: 80 g of chloroform is equivalent to 54.0 mL

Question 20

  • Wave Diffraction: A wave bending around an obstacle is called diffraction.

Question 21

  • Wave Characteristics (a vs b): Wave (a) has a longer wavelength and lower frequency compared to wave (b).

Question 23

  • Light Frequency Calculation: Orange light with a 640-nm wavelength has a frequency of 4.688 × 1014 s-1 .

Question 24

  • Light and Particles: Light can behave as both a wave and a particle; electrons can too.

Question 25

  • De Broglie Wavelength Calculation: Mass of a particle with a De Broglie wavelength of 3.45×10−34 m and velocity of 6.55 m/s is 0.293kg.

Question 26

  • Energy Transition (Hydrogen): The energy change for an electron transitioning from n = 3 to n = 2 in a hydrogen atom is -1.92 × 10−18 J.

Question 27

Question 28

  • Quantum Uncertainty: Werner Heisenberg proved the simultaneous determination of position and speed of electrons is impossible.

Extra Credit Question 1 (a)

  • Density Determination: Based on the image in the graduated cylinder, the possible densities are assigned as follows; L1 < S1 < L2 < S2 < S3

Extra Credit Question 1 (b)

  • Justification for Density Ordering: The liquid layer sits over the solid layers and the relative positions of the solids and liquids remain unchanged. The logic is that layers with greater densities sit below those with lower densities. Objects with similar densities tend to occupy similar positions in the layers. So, if the water layer is above a solid, the solids density has to be smaller.

Question 2

  • Atomic Notation Table: The missing values for the atomic notation table are determined by using concepts like the number of electrons and neutrons, which combined give the mass of the different elements. Net charge can be calculated based on the net number.
