mixture
non-pure substance with components that can be elements, compounds, or other mixtures. the components are not chemically bonded together so they retain their individual properties.
homogenous mixture
same (uniform) composition throughout the mixture. consists of only 1 phase
heterogenous mixture
does not have a uniform composition. consists of seperate phases
phases
region that is the same throughout, in terms of chemical composition and physical properties
filtration
separates insoluble solids from a liquid
residue is the solid left in the filtration paper
filtrate is the liquid that passes through the filter paper.
evaporation
remove a solvent from a solution to leave the solute
solvation
separate a mixture of 2 or more substances due to differences in solubility.
filtration then evaporation
distillation
separate solute and solvent from a solution (where the solute was a solid)
separate a mixture of 2 liquids with sufficiently different boiling points
distillation vs evaporation
distillation - solvent (or solvent + solute) = desired product
evaporation - solute = desired product
recrystallisation
purify solids which contain relatively small amounts of impurities
paper chromatography
separate various dyes in colored inks
separate mixture of sugars/amino acids
test purity of substances (more than 1 dot = impure
boyles law
at a constant temperature, the volume of a fixed mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
p ∝ 1/v
p = k/v
pv = k (k is a constant)
p1v1 = p2v2
(the product of the pressure and volume of an ideal gas at a particular temp is a constant and does not change as the pressure and volume change)
charles’ law
at a constant pressure, the volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature
v ∝ T
v1/t1 = v2/t2
(if the kelvin temp doubles, and pressure remains constant, the vol of gas doubles)
Gay - Lussac’s law
for a fixed mass of an ideal gas at a constant volume, the pressure is directly proportional to it’s absolute (kelvin) temp
p1/t1 = p2/t2
p ∝ T
features of an ideal gas
gas molecules are in constant random motion and move in straight lines
they behave as rigid spheres
pressure is produced by collisions from both the walls of the container and eachother
the collisions are elastic meaning no energy is lost
the average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature
the intermolecular forces between molecules are negligible
the size of the molecules is negligible compared to the container
features of a real gas
the volume of the gas particles is not negligible
there are attractive forces between the molecules
collisions are not elastic
when do real gases deviate from the ideal gas model the most
at a low temperature and high pressure
overall gas law equation
an ideal gas is one that follows all laws of the ideal gas model exactly
p1v1 /T2 = p2v2/T2
temp must be in kelvin
ideal gas equation
relationship between P, V and T combined with avogadros law
PV = nRT
R = gas constant = 8.31
n = number of moles
when do gases have the same molar volume
when they are in the same conditions
find number of moles (n)
n = vol / molar volume
when they ask you to find molar volume
volume of 1 mol
n = 1
avogadros law
6.022 × 10 to the power of 23
number of particles per mole
equal volume of different gases, when measured at the same temperature and pressure, contain an equal number of particles
radio isotopes
radioactive isotopes that are unstable because of the numbers of subatomic particles they contain in their nuclei. their instability causes them to emit various forms of radiation
atoms
smallest particles remaining the properties of an element
protons
positive charge with a relative mass of 1
neutrons
mo charge with a relative mass of 1
electrons
negative charge with a relative mass of 1/2000 (of a proton)
hpw to find number of protons
same as number of neutrons
mass number
protons + neutrons
atomic number
number of protons in the nucleus
positive ions
formed when an atom loses an electron
negative ion
formed when an atom gains an electron
isotopes
atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons. (same number of protons).
this effects the physical properties, not the behaviour in chemical reactions so much
calculating relative atomic mass
Calculating the relative atomic mass involves multiplying the mass of each isotope by its relative abundance, summing these values, and dividing by 100. The formula is:
Relative Atomic Mass = (Mass of Isotope 1 x Abundance of Isotope 1 + Mass of Isotope 2 x Abundance of Isotope 2 + ...) / 100
Note: Isotope masses are usually given in atomic mass units (u) and abundances as percentages.
wavelength
distance between 2 crests in an oscillating wave
frequency
number of waves that pass a point in 1 second (Hz)
mass spectrometer
used to determine the relative atomic mass of an element from its isotopic composition
physical properties affected in isotopes
melting point
rate of diffusion
heisenbergs uncertainty principle
it is impossible to state the exact position of an electron at a precise moment in time
aufbau building up principle 3 rules
pauli exclusion principle - only electrons with opposite spin can occupy the same orbital
hunds rule - every orbital in a sub level is occupied with single electrons of the same spin before pairing up
orbitals with lower energy are filled before those with higher energy
ground state
when an electron is where it should be
lyman series
sub level 1 - UV
balmer series
sub level 2 - IR
paschen series
sub level 3 - visible
