CHEM 1301A midterm Exam with accurate detailed || || || || || || ||




solutions


Atoms - ✔✔Building blocks of matter
|| || || || ||




- Protons: + charge, found in nucleus
|| || || || || || ||




- Electrons: - charge, outside nucleus, very light
|| || || || || || ||




- Neutrons: no charge, found in nucleus
|| || || || || ||




Atomic Number - ✔✔The number of protons in the nucleus of an atom
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




Mass Number - ✔✔The sum of the number of neutrons and protons in an atomic nucleus
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




Isotopes - ✔✔Atoms with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- Have same atomic number but different mass
|| || || || || || ||




Isotopic Abundance - ✔✔Average atomic mass =
|| || || || || || ||




(% isotopic abundance/100) x isotopic mass
|| || || || ||




Ions - ✔✔Positively and negatively charged atoms
|| || || || || ||




- Cation: loses an electron, becomes more +
|| || || || || || ||




- Anion: gains an electron, becomes more -
|| || || || || || ||




Molecules - ✔✔Groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




- Compound: molecule containing atoms of more than one element
|| || || || || || || || ||




- Diatomic: only 2 atoms (HOBrFINCl)
|| || || || ||




- Polyatomic: more than 2 atoms (H2O)
|| || || || || ||

Moles - ✔✔The number of atoms contained in exactly 12g of pure C-12
|| || || || || || || || || || || ||




-NA: 6.02x10^23 ||




- # mol x NA = # particles
|| || || || || || ||




Molar Mass - ✔✔The mass of one mole of molecules
|| || || || || || || || ||




- sum of atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




- n = m/MM
|| || ||




Mass % - ✔✔mass % = (mass of one species / total mass of sample) x 100%
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- useful for: % of an element in a compound, % of a compound on a mixture
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




Empirical and Molecular Formulas - ✔✔- Empirical: the simplest ratio of atoms in a molecule|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- Molecular: whole ratio
|| || ||




- Steps to find molecular from empirical:
|| || || || || ||




1. m/MM to find moles
|| || || ||




2. divide by smallest n to get the ratio
|| || || || || || || ||




3. multiply to get to the nearest whole number
|| || || || || || || ||




Mole Fraction and % - ✔✔Mole fraction: # n of one species / total n
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




Mole %: (# n of one species / total n) x 100%
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




Average Molar Mass of Mixtures - ✔✔MM = (Xa x MMa) + (Xb x MMb) + (Xc x MMc) etc.
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- X is the mole fraction
|| || || || ||




Molarity - ✔✔The number of moles of solute per liter of solution || || || || || || || || || || ||




- M = amount of solute (n) / amount of solution (n)
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




- M = n/V
|| || ||

, 2


- molarity may change if temp. changes because temp. affects volume
|| || || || || || || || || ||




Dilution - ✔✔Reducing the concentration of a solution || || || || || || ||




- number of moles of solute does not change, given that no chemical reaction takes place
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- M1V1 = M2V2
|| || ||




Density of a Solution - ✔✔d = mass of solution / volume of solution
|| || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- always refers to entire solution
|| || || || ||




ppm and ppb - ✔✔ratio of the mass of solute to the mass of solution (same units) and multiplied
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




by 1 million/billion
|| ||




- ppm/b = (mass solute / mass soltution) x 10^6 or 9
|| || || || || || || || || || ||




- ppm: mass solute is very small compared to very small relative to mass of solution
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




- ppm: very low concentrations of solute
|| || || || || ||




Law of Conservation of Mass - ✔✔The combined mass of the reactants equals the combined
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




mass of the products || || ||




% Yield - ✔✔% yield = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100
|| || || || || || || || || ||




- theoretical yield gives the amount of product that would be produced if the reaction went
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




perfectly


Limiting Reagent - ✔✔Reagent whose amount is insufficient to react completely with all other
|| || || || || || || || || || || || || ||




reagents ||




- once the limiting reagent is consumed, the reaction stops
|| || || || || || || || ||




1. Balanced equation
|| ||




2. Calculate moles
|| ||




3. Divide moles by corresponding stoichiometric coefficient
|| || || || || ||
