Study Notes
Understanding Formula and Molecular Mass
- Focus on accurate writing of formula mass, molecular mass, and empirical formulae to ascertain actual mass and proportions of elements in compounds.
- Familiarity with these calculations is vital for validating product labels in chemical industries.
Key Learning Objectives
- Calculate molecular formula from molar mass.
- Determine empirical formula based on percent composition of a compound.
Important Vocabulary
- Mass Number: Total of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus.
- Molecular Formula: Shows number of each type of atom in a molecule.
Formula Mass vs. Molecular Mass
- Formula Mass: Appropriate for ionic compounds (e.g., sodium chloride) and derived from the sum of mass numbers of constituent atoms.
- Molecular Mass: Specific to covalent compounds, represents the total mass of a molecule.
Definition of Compounds
- Ionic Compounds: Formed between metals and nonmetals, characterized by ionic bonds (e.g., NaCl).
- Covalent Compounds: Created by nonmetals sharing electrons, characterized by covalent bonds (e.g., CCl₄).
Distinction between Mass Number and Formula Mass
- Mass Number: Integer value indicating protons plus neutrons.
- Formula Mass: Sum of mass numbers from all atoms in a compound.
Steps for Calculating Formula Mass
- List atoms in a compound (e.g., Al(OH)₃).
- Count atoms considering subscripts.
- Multiply mass number by the number of atoms to find total mass.
Empirical vs. Molecular Formula
- Empirical Formula: Simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound.
- Molecular Formula: Actual number of atoms for each element in a compound.
Calculating Empirical Formula
- Convert percentage composition to grams assuming 100g total.
- Convert mass to moles using atomic weight.
- Determine mole ratio and simplify to lowest terms.
Example Problems
- Determine formula mass of Ca₃(PO₄)₂ by calculating mass contribution of Ca, P, and O.
- Analyze caffeine's molecular formula from its percent composition and known molecular mass.
Practice Exercises
- Compute formula mass of CuSO₄, outlining each atom's contribution.
