Helium ○​ Relative atomic mass, Ar ​ The weighted average of the masses of an element’s isotopes in comparison to the mass of carbon-12 ​ No units ○​ Relative molecular mass, Mr ​ Adding together the relative atomic masses of the atoms in the chemical formulae ​ Ex.

​ Method: ​ Fill beaker with chilled water to the 150cm3 graduation ​ Use thermometer to measure temp of water and record it ​ Drop an Alka-Seltzer (or vitamin C tablet) into the beaker and start stopwatch ​ Stop when tablet has completely dissolved and record time in seconds ​ Repeat with other water temperatures ​ What happened to the tablets? ​ They would dissolve in the water and fizz ​ Why is it a chemical change? ​ There is fizzing which means carbon dioxide is produced ​ In which beaker was the reaction the slowest and fastest? ​ The coldest and hottest respectively ​ The hotter the temperature, the quicker the reaction rate ○​ Effect of catalysts on reaction rate ​ Rate of reaction can be increased by adding a catalyst ​ Catalyst: A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction, but is not used up ​ Reduces the amount of activation energy required ​ Balance Chemical Equations – I can balance chemical equations. ○​ Four main rules ​ Check that all the formulae in the equation are correct ​ Deal with one element at a time ​ Balancing is adding big numbers, not small ​ Check each element again and go back to rule 3 if needed ○​ Example 𝐶4𝐻8 + 𝑂2 → 𝐶𝑂2 + 𝐻2𝑂 ○​ Unbalanced! ​ Four carbon atoms on the left, only one on the right. ​ Add a four in front of the C. on the right ​ ​ 𝐶4𝐻8 + 𝑂2 → 4𝐶𝑂2 + 𝐻2𝑂 ○​ Unbalanced! ​ Eight hydrogen atoms on the left, only two on the right. ​ Add a four in front of the H on the right. 𝐶4𝐻8 + 𝑂2 → 4𝐶𝑂2 + 4𝐻2𝑂 ○​ Unbalanced! ​ There are two oxygen atoms on the left, but because four are in front of 4CO2, the formula is 4 × C + 4 × O2, which is eight oxygen atoms. The same applies to 4H2O, which has 12 oxygen atoms. ​ Add a six in front of the O on the left. ​ ​ 𝐶4𝐻8 + 6𝑂2 → 4𝐶𝑂2 + 4𝐻2𝑂 ○​ Done! ○​ Example 𝐶𝑢 + 𝑂2 → 𝐶𝑢𝑂 ○​ Unbalanced! ​ Two oxygen on the left, only one on the right. ​ Add 2 in front of CuO. ​ ​ 𝐶𝑢 + 𝑂2 → 2𝐶𝑢𝑂 ○​ Unbalanced! ​ One copper on the left, two on the right ​ Add 2 in front of Cu 2𝐶𝑢 + 𝑂2 → 2𝐶𝑢𝑂 ○​ Done! **Please do not only study from this study guide.
