    • Example: Copper-63
  • Mass #

Atomic Structure - Isotopes

  • Isotopes: atoms of the same element, with different numbers of neutrons.
    • Will also differ in atomic mass (and mass number)
    • Have the same number of protons

Calculating Average Weighted Mass of an Element:

  • Calculate the average atomic mass of iron if its abundance in nature is 15% iron-55 and 85% iron-56.
  • Step 1: Calculate the contribution of each isotope:
    • Iron-55: (55 amu)×(0.15)=8.25 amu(55 \text{ amu}) \times (0.15) = 8.25 \text{ amu}
    • Iron-56: (56 amu)×(0.85)=47.6 amu(56 \text{ amu}) \times (0.85) = 47.6 \text{ amu}
  • Step 2: Add the contribution from each isotope together:
    • 8.25 amu+47.6 amu=55.85 amu8.25 \text{ amu} + 47.6 \text{ amu} = 55.85 \text{ amu}

The Mole - Calculations

  • Relationships:
    • Particle Town \leftrightarrow Mole \leftrightarrow Gramville Station
    • * by molar mass \leftrightarrow ÷ by molar mass
    • Avogadro’s Number = 6.02x10236.02 x 10^{23}
    • * by Avogadro’s Number \leftrightarrow ÷ by Avogadro’s Number

The Mole - Percent Composition

  • Percent Composition by Mass
    • % by mass=mass of elementmass of compound×100\% \text{ by mass} = \frac{\text{mass of element}}{\text{mass of compound}} \times 100
  • Steps to Solve for Percent Composition (with example)
    • PCl5PCl_5 (Phosphorus Pentachloride)
      1. Find the molar mass of all elements in the compound:
        • P=30.974gP = 30.974 \text{g}
        • Cl=5(35.453g)=177.265gCl = 5(35.453 \text{g}) = 177.265 \text{g}
      2. Find the molecular mass:
        • PCl5=30.974g+177.265g=208.239gPCl_5 = 30.974 \text{g} + 177.265 \text{g} = 208.239 \text{g}
      3. Divide each molar mass by the molecular mass and multiply by 100:
        • P=30.974g208.239g×100=14.87%P = \frac{30.974 \text{g}}{208.239 \text{g}} \times 100 = 14.87\%%
        • Cl=177.265g208.239g×100=85.13%Cl = \frac{177.265 \text{g}}{208.239 \text{g}} \times 100 = 85.13\%%
  • Therefore, Phosphorus Pentachloride is 14.87% P and 85.13% Cl by mass.

The Mole - Empirical Formula

  • Empirical Formula: a chemical formula showing the simplest ratio of elements in a compound rather than the total number of atoms.

Stoichiometry - Mole to Mole

Stoichiometry - Limiting and Excess Reactants

  • Limiting Reactants
    • To find the limiting reactant, you must do a separate stoichiometry problem for each reactant. Go from amount of reactant amount of product. The reactant that makes the least amount of product will be your limiting reactant.
    • Used up in a reaction
    • Determines the amount of product
  • Excess Reactant
    • Added to ensure that the other reactant is completely used up
    • Cheaper and easier to recycle
  • 2H<em>2+O</em>22H2O2 H<em>2 + O</em>2 \rightarrow 2 H_2O

Stoichiometry - Percent Yield

  • Formula for Percent Yield
    • Percent yield=Actual YieldTheoretical Yield×100%\text{Percent yield} = \frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}} \times 100\%%

Acids/Bases - Strong/Weak Acids & Bases

  • Strong Acids: produce the greatest concentration of H+ ions.
  • Strong Bases: produce the greatest concentration of OH- ions.

Thermochemistry - Calculating “q”

  • Equation for Calculating Heat
    • q=c×m×ΔTq=c \times m \times \Delta T
      • q represents the heat absorbed or released.
      • c represents the specific heat of the substance.
      • m represents the mass of the sample in grams.
      • ΔT\Delta T is the change in temperature in °C, or T<em>fT</em>iT<em>f - T</em>i
  • The quantity of heat absorbed or released by a substance is equal to the product of its specific heat, the mass of the substance, and the change in its temperature.
  • Practice: q=mcΔT
  • An empty tin can has a mass of 14.9 grams. If the specific heat of tin is 0.228 J/g°C, how much heat is absorbed if the temperature increases by 20.0°C?

Thermochemistry - Heating Curves

  • Heating Curve of Water

Thermochemistry - Flow of Heat

  • Heat will flow from an area of higher temperature to an area of lower temperature until temperatures are equal (thermal equilibrium).

Rates/Equilibrium - Reaction Coordinates

  • Reactant energy > Product energy the reaction is EXOTHERMIC
    • Exothermic reaction results in the loss of heat so, H is negative (“-“)
  • Reactant energy < Product energy the reaction is ENDOTHERMIC
    • Endothermic reaction results in the absorption of heat so, H is positive (“+“)

Rates/Equilibrium - Catalysts

  • Catalysts work by lowering the activation energy needed for a chemical reaction to proceed.
    • Activation Energy: minimum amount of energy that reactant particles must have to form the activated complex and lead to a reaction.

Gases - Kinetic Molecular Theory

  • Postulates of the Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases
    1. Gases consist of tiny particles (atoms or molecules)
    2. These particles are so small, compared with the distances between them, that the volume (size) of the individual particles can be assumed to be negligible (zero).
    3. The particles are in constant random motion, colliding with the walls of the container. These collisions with the walls cause the pressure exerted by the gas.
    4. The particles are assumed not to attract or to repel each other.
    5. The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the gas
