Quizzes and Exams

Please write in non-erasable blue or black pen, no pencil! (Will lose 1 point for pencil or erasable ink) I will put periodic table on backs of quizzes, if you need them. BOX answers! If its not obvious where (or which) the answer is that Im supposed to grade, it will get no credit. Remember to bring your non-programmable calculators to class on Wednesdays. Make sure your answers make sense (can there be 23 grams of zinc in a 4.75 g sample of zinc oxide?). You may only use approved calculators on quizzes; others will be confiscated for the duration of the quiz or exam.

Chapter 2: Atoms and Elements

1. Daltons Atomic Theory is based on empirical observations, formulated as Laws of
Conservation of Mass
No detectable gain or loss of mass occurs in chemical reactions.

Definite Proportions
In a compound, elements are always combined in the same proportion by mass.

Multiple Proportions
Whenever two elements form more than one compound, the different masses of one element that combine with the same mass of the other element are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

2. Summary of Daltons Theory

--Matter consists of tiny particles called atoms. --Atoms are indestructible. In chemical reactions, the atoms rearrange but they do not themselves break apart. --In any sample of a pure element, all the atoms are identical in mass and other properties. --The atoms of different elements differ in mass and other properties. --In a given compound the constituent atoms are always present in the same fixed numerical ratio.

1. A sample of caffeine contains 96.1 g of carbon for every 10.1 g of hydrogen. If another sample of caffeine contains 30.0 g of carbon, how many g of hydrogen does it contain?

2.* Phosphorus forms two compounds with chlorine. In 5.5 g of one of these compounds, there were 1.24 g of P. In 5.5 g of the other compound, there were 0.818 g of P. Explain how these compounds exhibit the law of multiple proportions.

96.1 10.1

30.0 x

x = 3.15 g 2.* Phosphorus forms two compounds with chlorine. In 5.5 g of one of these compounds, there were 1.24 g of P. In 5.5 g of the other compound, there were 0.818 g of P. Explain how these compounds exhibit the law of multiple proportions. Answer: According to the law of multiple proportions, if you compare the same amounts of phosphorus, then the chlorine masses should be in a ratio of small whole numbers. Since 1.24/0.818 = 1.516, then you should multiply the compound B quantities by 1.516. In compound A, there is (5.5 - 1.24 =) 4.26 g Cl. In compound B there is (5.5 - 0.818 =) 4.682 g Cl. Multiply that by 1.516 to get 7.10 g Cl for every 1.24 g P in compound B. Then you can check the Cl ratio: 4.26 g / 7.10 g = 0.6 = 3/5, a ratio of small whole numbers.

Modern View of an Atom

electrons(-) form a diffuse cloud around the nucleus
~Where is most of the mass of an atom?

Matter is neutral, so # of electrons = # of protons

nucleus has protons(+) and neutrons

~If there is a different number of protons, it is a different ___________? ~If there is a different number of neutrons, it is a different __________?

(amu = 1.66 x 10-24 g = 1/12 of mass of 12C) proton neutron 1 amu electron 10-4 amu Atomic number, Z = # of protons Mass number, A = # of protons + number of neutrons AE Isotopes = atoms of the same element with different mass numbers Z

52Cr? How many protons, electrons, and neutrons are in an atom of 24

Answer: Atomic number = 24, so 24 protons Neutral, so 24 electrons 52 24 = 27, so 27 neutrons

Some Notes on Charge

Two kinds of charge called + and Opposite charges attract + attracted to Like charges repel + repels + repels To be neutral, something must have no charge or equal amounts of opposite charges

Types of Elements
Metals:
Shiny, malleable, ductile solids with high mp and bp Good electrical conductors

Nonmetals:
Gases, liquids, or low-melting solids Non-conductors of electricity

Diatomic elements: H2, O2, N2, F2, Cl2, Br2, I2

Metalloids:
Intermediate properties, often semiconductors

Predicting Ionic Charges

Noble gases have very favorable electron configurations. The other elements are jealous If an ion forms, it will commonly match the nearest noble gas.

Calculating Atomic Mass (Weighted Avg)

Atomic Mass = (fraction of isotope n) x (mass of isotope n)
n

= (fraction1mass1) + (fraction2 mass2) + (fraction3 mass3) +

Example
63Cu

has mass = 62.9396, natural abundance 69.17%, and 65Cu has mass = 64.9278 and natural abundance 30.83%. What is the atomic mass? Answer: Atomic mass = (62.9396)(0.6917) + (64.9273)(0.3083) = 63.55 amu (4 sig fig!)

The Mole; How Chemists Count

1. Avogadros Number -- The Chemists Dozen
N0 = number of atoms in exactly 12 g of carbon-12 = 6.022 x 1023 things ( a very large number!) This is a conversion factor, just like 12 things per dozen, e.g. Mass of one atom of carbon-12 = (12.0 g)/6.022 x 1023 atoms) = 1.99 x 10-23 g/atom

2. The Mole One Mole of a substance contains an Avogadros number of formula units. e.g. 1 mole of H2O = 6.022 x 1023 H2O molecules
