Study Notes

Phase Changes

Melting: Transition from solid to liquid.
Boiling/Evaporation: Transition from liquid to gas.
Condensation: Transition from gas to liquid.
Sublimation: Transition from solid to gas.
Deposition: Transition from gas to solid.

Separation Techniques

Magnetic/Mechanical Separation: Utilizes tools like forceps, sieves, and magnets to separate solid components of mixtures.
Centrifugation: Employs centrifugal force to separate particles from solutions based on size, shape, density, or viscosity.
Distillation: Separates components based on their vaporization temperatures.
Chromatography: Involves separating mixtures by passing them through a medium, causing different rates of movement.
Electrolysis: A chemical method that breaks down compounds by passing an electric current through a solution containing ions.
Crystallization: Solid formation through freezing, precipitation, or deposition.

Properties of Matter

Physical Property: Can be measured or observed without altering the substance's composition.
Chemical Property: Indicates a substance's ability to change its composition under certain conditions.

Units and Conversions

Common unit conversions:
- 1 m = 39.37 in = 1.094 yd
- 1 in = 2.54 cm
- 1 lb = 453.5 g
- 1 kg = 2.205 lb
- 1 L = 1.057 qt
- 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101.325 kPa

Significant Figures in Calculations

The result should not exceed the number of significant figures present in the least precise value during addition or subtraction.
For multiplication and division, round the result based on the number of significant figures in the initial numbers.

Relative Atomic Mass Calculation

Calculated using the formula: [ \text{Relative Atomic Mass} (Ar) = \frac{\sum(\text{Isotopic Mass} \times \text{Relative Abundance})}{100} ]

Empirical and Molecular Formulas

For empirical formula calculation:
- Assume 100 g of the compound, convert mass percentages to grams, and then to moles.
- Divide moles by the smallest mole count for the simplest ratio.
To find the molecular formula from the empirical formula:
- Calculate the empirical formula's molar mass.
- Divide the given molecular mass by the empirical molar mass.
- Multiply the empirical formula by the resulting ratio.

Example Calculations for Composition

For H2O:
- Calculate percent by mass of H: [ % \text{ by mass of H} = \frac{2(1.01)}{18.02} \times 100% = 11.2% ]
For FeCl3:
- Calculate total mass, moles of each element, then determine the percent by mass of iron: [ % \text{ by mass of Fe} = \frac{1(55.85)}{162.2} \times 100% = 34.43% ]

Mole Ratios

Mole ratios should be simplified to the nearest whole number or appropriate fraction based on values obtained in calculations.

Example for Determining Molecular Formula

Given an organic compound's percent composition and molecular mass:
- Example further illustrates steps from empirical to molecular formula, resulting in C₁₂H₁₆O₆ using the given percentage masses for carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
