This policy outlines the guidelines for requesting a regrade of quizzes or exams in a chemistry class.
E N D
Regrade Policy • ALWAYS look over your quiz or exam when it is returned. If there is an error you may request a regrade. • Regrade requests are ONLY accepted within 1 week after an assignment is returned. • For a regrade to be considered, there must be NO MARKS added to the quiz/exam being re-submitted. • Regrade request must be written on a separate piece of paper attached to the original assignment. • Graphing calculators are not allowed either! Only scientific or below. Calculator Announcement
Chapter 3: The “Language of Chemistry” “alphabet” symbols for the elements, e.g. C, N, F, Mg, Fe, etc. (Know names/symbols for #1-88 except lanthanides, including spelling!) “words” chemical formulas, e.g. H2O, N2, Fe2(CO3)3, etc. counting atoms in formulas: --1 molecule of H2O contains 2 hydrogen atoms and 1 oxygen --the formula Fe2(CO3)3 represents: 2 iron atoms, 3 carbon atoms, and 9 oxygen atoms “sentences” chemical equations(reactantsandproducts) Mg(OH)2(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) MgCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l) Coefficients are used to “balance” the equation Subscripts indicate states of matter (not always included) Balanced equation: same number of atoms of each element on both sides of arrow
Molecular and Ionic Compounds • Molecular Compounds • Atoms linked together by “covalent chemical bonds” in discrete electrically neutral particles called molecules • e.g. H2O CO2 PCl3 C12H22O11 • Ionic Compounds • Result from transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another to yield oppositely-charged particles called ions • No discrete molecules; ions held together by electrostatic forces (“ionic bonds”) in a regular, 3-D pattern called a crystalline lattice • e.g. LiF lithium fluoride • MgCl2 magnesium chloride e- Li + F Li+ + F- LiF e- Cl Mg Mg2+ + 2 Cl- e- Cl MgCl2
Example Compounds Molecular = = = CH4 Ionic NaCl Formula Unit: The smallest unit of a compound. Shows the smallest whole-number ratio. (NaCl) Ionic compounds must be electrically neutral.
Types of Chemical Formulas • empirical formula shows the simplest ratio of the elements present • molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms in one molecule • structural formula shows how the atoms are connected e.g. for “hydrogen peroxide” the three formulas are: empirical: HO molecular: H2O2 structural:
Ionic Compounds • Usually involve metals and/or polyatomic ions 1- anions 2- anions 1+ cations 2+ cations Other metals may form more than one cation, e.g. Fe2+, Fe3+, Sn2+, Sn4+
Writing Formulas for Ionic Compounds • Polyatomic ions--Table 3.5--KNOW formulas and names!!! • Two or more atoms combined in a single charged unit • e.g. NH4+ (ammonium), • H3O+ (hydronium), • NO3- (nitrate), • PO43- (phosphate), • HCO3- (hydrogen carbonate, or bicarbonate) • Look for the simplest combination of cations (+) and anions (-) to yield an electrically neutral formula • e.g. ion combination compound • Mg2+ and Cl- MgCl2 • Na+ and O2- Na2O • Fe3+ and SO42- Fe2(SO4)3 • Example: What compound should form between sulfur (S) and potassium (K)? • Example: What compound will form between ammonium and phosphate?
Nomenclature for Ionic Compounds • First, determine if it’s ionic! • metal(s) + nonmetal(s) • Binary ionic compounds (2 different elements) • cation(charge if needed) + anionide • Know Tables 3.3 and 3.4 (not older names) • e.g. ion combination compound name • Mg2+ and Cl- MgCl2 • Na+ and O2- Na2O • Fe2+ and N3- Fe3N2 • Other ionic compounds • With polyatomic ions; cation(charge if needed) + polyatomic ion name • Hydrates; compound name (as above) + prefixhydrate (Know prefixes, p92) • e.g. ion combination compound name • Ca2+ and Cr2O72- CaCr2O7 • Co2+ and Cl- CoCl2•6H2O • Hg22+ and CN- Hg2CN2•H2O
Nomenclature: Molecular Compounds • First, determine it’s molecular! • between nonmetals and/or metalloids • Binary molecular compounds (between 2 elements) • prefixelement + prefixelementide • First element is most metallic (bottom left of per. table) • Use prefixes to indicate numbers of each atom, e.g. • PF3 phosphorus trifluoride • P2F4 • N2O5 • Exception: hydrogen plus one atom of a nonmetal, see next section! diphosphorus tetrafluoride dinitrogen pentoxide
Nomenclature; Binary Acids • First, determine it’s a binary acid! • hydrogen + nonmetal • Hydroelementic + acid • e.g. compound name • HCl • HBr
Nomenclature: Oxoacids and Their Salts • oxoacid HxEOy (E = nonmetal) • Removal of H+ yields polyatomic anions Series of chlorine oxoacids and their salts: HClOx (x = 1,2,3,4) polyprotic acids acid salts
Stoichiometric Equivalence A chemical formula shows the ratio by atoms and by moles of the elements in the formula. e.g. in the compound N2O5: ratio by atoms: 2 atoms N : 5 atoms O ratio by moles: 2 moles N : 5 moles O in N2O5, 2 moles N 5 moles O (a chemical equivalence) Problem: How many moles of N atoms are combined with 15 moles of O in N2O5? Use the mole ratio as a conversion factor! (15 moles O) x (2 moles N/5 moles O) = 6.0 moles N
Formula Mass and Molecular Mass • formula mass = sum of all atomic masses of elements in a formula (remember that atomic mass = the mass of a single atom) • molecular mass = formula mass of a molecular substance {“formula weight” and “molecular weight” are often used instead} Problem What is the molecular mass of N2O5? (add the atomic masses!) N2O5 = 2 N + 5 O = 2(14.0) + 5(16.0) = 108.0 What are the units? For 1 molecule: amu For 1 mole: grams 1 mole of a substance = its formula mass in grams e.g. 1 mole of N2O5 = 108.0 g N2O5 (just another conversion factor!)
Example Problems • What is the mass of 0.65 moles of N2O5? (0.65 moles N2O5) x (108 g N2O5/1 mol N2O5) = 70 g N2O5 • What mass of iron combines with 5.00 g of oxygen to make Fe2O3? Method: grams A --> moles A --> moles B --> grams B (5.00 g O) x(1 mol O)/16.0 g O) x (2 mole Fe/3 mol O) x (55.85 g Fe/mole Fe) = 11.6 g Fe
Sample Problems • The label on my water bottle says there are 5.0 mg of sodium in it; if that were pure sodium, how many atoms of sodium would that be? • The same water bottle contains 16 oz of water. If I drink it all, how many moles of water did I drink?
Percentage Composition • percentage composition -- mass % of elements in a compound Theoretical % composition -- from given formula Example Problem What is the percentage composition of H2CO3? mole ratio = 2 mol H : 1 mole C : 3 mol O molecular mass = 2(1.01) + 1(12.01) + 3(15.99) = 62.00 g/mol % composition: % H = [mass H / mass H2CO3] x 100% = [2(1.01)/62.00] x 100% = 3.36% % C = (12.01/62.00) x 100% = 19.36% % O = [3 (16.00)/62.00] x 100% = 77.38% Total 100.00%
Empirical Formula Determination Example Problem A certain fluorocarbon is found to be 36.52% C, 6.08% H, and 57.38% F. What is the empirical formula for this compound? We’re looking for the mole ratio of the elements. In 100 g of the compound, there are: (36.52 g C) x (1 mol C/12.01 g C) = 3.041 mol C (6.08 g H) x (1 mol H/1.008 g H) = 6.02 mol H (57.38 g F) x (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 3.020 mol F So, the mole ratio is: C3.041H6.02F3.020 Now reduce to the simplest ratio (divide by the smallest number): C3.041/3.020H6.02/3.020F3.020/3.020 = C1.007H1.99F = CH2F (the empirical formula)
Molecular Formula Empirical formula combined with molecular mass = molecular formula Problem The above fluorocarbon is found to have a molecular mass of 66.08 g/mole. What is the molecular formula? n x (mass of empirical formula) = molecular mass (n = ?) Empirical formula = CH2F Formula mass = 1 C + 2 H + F = 33.03 g/mole n x (33.03 g/mole) = 66.08 g/mol so, n = 2 molecular formula is C2H4F2
Sample Problem Carboranes are an interesting class of compounds that contain carbon, hydrogen, and boron. One such carborane is found to have the following percentage composition: 28.18% C, 63.45% B, and 8.26% H. Determine the empirical formula of this carborane.
Balancing Chemical Equations I • Adjust coefficients to get equal numbers of each kind of element of both sides of arrow. • Use smallest, whole number coefficients. e.g. start with unbalanced equation (for the combustion of butane): C4H10 + O2 CO2 + H2O Hint -- first look for an element that appears only once on each side; e.g. C C4H10 + 13/2 O2 4 CO2 + 5 H2O Multiply through by 2 to remove fractional coefficient: 2 C4H10 + 13 O2 8 CO2 + 10 H2O
Nomenclature: Organic Compounds • Compounds of carbon--organic chemistry • If they have only C and H, hydrocarbons • e.g. alkanes: methane CH4, ethane C2H6, propane C3H8 • general formula: CnH2n+2 • Know Table 3.7 • Functional Groups • R = hydrocarbon group • e.g. alcohols: methanol CH3OH, ethanol C2H5OH • e.g. amines: propyl amine, butylamine • Recognize functional groups in Table 3.8 Methanol (wood alcohol), CH3OH, is related to methane, CH4, by replacing one H with OH.
