rules for sig figs
1) all nonzero integers ALWAYS count for significance ex: 3456 has 4 sig figs
2) zeros (3 classes of zeros)
a) leading zeros:NEVER count as sig figs
ex: 0.048 has 2 sig figs
b) captive zeros: ALWAYS count as sig figs ex: 16.07 has 4 sig figs
c) trailing zeros: only significant when # HAS A DECIMAL POINT
ex: 9.300 has 4 sig figs; 0.004020 has 4 sig figs; 150 has 2 sig figs
given: CH2O
calculate the mass percent of C, H2, and O
CH2O = 30.026 (12.01 + 2(1.008) + 16.00) C = 12.01 / 30.026 x 100 = 39.9% H2 = 6.71% O = 53.3%
Fe2O3 (s) + 3 CO (g) -> 2 Fe (s) + 3 CO2 (g)

units of wavelength
m
given a wavelength of 671 nm. find the E of 1 photon of light
2.96 x 10^-19
wave
a continuously repeating change in matter or in a physical field
- light is an electromagnetic wave
- can be characterized by its wavelength and frequency
wavelength
λ (lambda); the distance between any 2 identical points on adjacent waves
frequency
ν (nu); the # of wavelengths that pass a fixed pt in one unit of time (s).
- unit: Hertz (Hz); 1/s; s^-1
wavelength and frequency are related by the __
wave speed (c)
equation of speed of light
c = νλ c = speed (m/s) λ = wavelength (m) ν = frequency (1/s)
the speed of light equation is
inversely proportional
given 742 nm. find ν
c = νλ *742 nm = 742 x 10^-9 m c = ν (742 x 10^-9 m ) (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) = ν (742 x 10^-9 m ) ν = (2.998 x 10^8 m/s) / (742 x 10^-9 m ) ν = 4.04 x 10^14 s
what is the speed of light?
2.998 x 10^8 m/s
the energy of each photon is __ to its frequency
proportional
what is the electromagnetic spectrum?
gamma, x-rays, far UV, near UV, visible, near infrared, far infrared, microwaves, radar, radio waves (TV, FM, AM)
what is the visible spectrum?
ROYGBV flipped
- blue has higher frequency than red
waves can be __
diffracted
Thomas Young
- British physicist
- showed light could be diffracted
- by 1900s, wave theory of light was established
- wave theory couldn’t explain the photoelectric effect
- diagram of current
the photoelectric effect
- shouldn’t be a current cuz there’s an open circuit but there is
- e- attracted to (+) wire
- Einstein figured this out
- particle-wave duality
- ammeter measures current
- higher frequency = more energy
ammeter
measures current
Einstein proposed..
light consists of quanta/particles of EM energy called photons
E = hν
photon
package of light
what is Planck’s constant?
6.626 x 10^-34 J x s
when photon has enough E, the e- will be __ from atom
ejected
given a wavelength of 742 nm, find the E.
2.68 x 10^-19 J
given a wavelength of 486 nm, find the E
4.09 x 10^-19 J
E = hν
E = energy (J) h = planck's constant (6.626 x 10^-34 J x s) ν = frequency (1/s)
light has properties of both __ and __
wave; matter
when a photon is absorbed, the e- is
ejected out
continuous spectrum
contains all wavelengths of light
line spectrum
shows only certain colors or specific wavelengths of light
- heated atoms emit light
- lines
atoms are
stable
energy-level postulate
- an e- can have only specific energy values called energy levels
- e levels are quantized
E = Rh / n^2
n= 1, 2, 3, …∞
n = energy level/ principal quantum #
Rh = 2.179 x 10^-18 J (Rydberg constant)
going from n = 1 to n = 2, energy is
absorbed
going from n = 2 to n = 1, energy is
released
energy decreases as n __
increases
when n is 0, E is
∞
transitions between energy levels
- an e- can change e levels by absorbing e to move to a higher e level or by emitting e in the form of a photon to move to a lower e level
- for a H e-, the energy lost is given by:
∆E = Ef - Ei
light is __ by an atom when the e- transition is from lower n to a higher n ( nf > ni)
absorbed
∆E (+)
light is __ by an atom when the e- transition is from higher n to a lower n ( nf ≤ ni)
emitted
∆E (-)
Louis de Broglie
- French physicist
- reasoned that particles (matter) might have wave properties similar to light particles
- wavelength of a particle of mass (e-, p+, neutron), m (kg), and velocity, v (m/s), is given by the de Broglie rxn
de Broglie rxn
λ = h / mv λ = wavelength (m) h = planck's constant (J x s) v = velocity (m/s)
calculate the wavelength of light emitted when e- in an H atom goes from n = 6 to n = 3
1.094 x 10^-6 m
Erwin Schrodinger
- invented quantum mechanics
- based off Broglie’s work
- devised theory that could be used to explain the wave properties of e- in atoms and molecules
quantum mechanics
- mathematically describes the wave properties of submicroscopic particles
- uncertainty principle
- (∆x) (∆px) ≥ h / 4π
- ∆x: uncertainty of the x coordinate of the particle
- ∆px: uncertainty in the coordinate in the x direction
uncertainty principle
the product of the uncertainty in position and the uncertainty in momentum of a particle can be no smaller than Planck’s constant divided by 4π
∆x
uncertainty of the x coordinate of the particle
