Exam 3 blocks 7-9 Flashcards
What does chemical arithmetic allow?
It allows us to us the information provided by balanced chemical equations to describe chemical reactions in two ways
Qualitative and quantatative
What is formula mass?
the sum of all of the atomic masses of all atoms in its chemical formula
What is the conversion factor for converting amu’s into grams
1.000amu=1.660x10^-24g
What are the two ways that quantity of a sample can be expressed?
mass of a sample
number of objects in a sample
How much is one mole of something?
Avogadro’s number
1 mole=6.02x10^23
Is Avogadro’s number exact?
yes
to find out how many atoms in a mole?
we multiply by Avo’s number
To find out how many moles from a number of atoms?
We divide by Avo’s number
What is Molar mass?
what is its abbreviation?
Unit expression?
The mass of one mole of an object
MM
Grams per mole, g/mole, g-mole^-1
How do we find the molar mass of an element?
it is the same as the amu off the periodic table just expressed in grams
How would we find the find the mass of a single atom of an element that is expressed in grams per mole?
we would divide the MM by Avo’s number
How would we find out the mass of one mole of an element in amu’s?
multiply the amu by Avo’s number
how do we convert formula mass to compound molar mass?
change the units from amu to g
no conversion required
Why is it that we can switch from amu to g without a conversion?
The definition of a mole + the fact hat amu is baised off of C-12
What is a Mole?
The amount of a substance in a system that contains as many elemental particles as there are atoms in exactly 12 grams of C-12
What is the ever repeating core in chemical calculations?
Number of moles of the the substance times time the number of moles of the specific element in the substance over one more of the substance
example, How many moles of O in a 1.5 mole sample of CO2
2 Moles of O
1.5 moles of CO2 X —————— = 3.0 moles of O
1 Mole of CO2
What is a chemical equation?
A written statement that uses symbols instead of words to describe the changes that occur as chemical reaction proceed
What is (s) mean in a chemical equation?
solid
What is (g) mean in a chemical equation?
gas
What is (l) mean in a chemical equation?
dissolved in some liquid
What is (aq) mean in a chemical equation?
dissolved in water
What is stoichionmetry
Stoichiometry the application of the laws of definite proportions and the conservation of mass and energy to chemical activity
What does the concept of mass balance require?
2 things
all atoms present as reactants MUST also be present as products
all atoms present as products MUST also be present as reactants
The law of conservation of matter dictates…….
That mass balance must be observed in chemical reations
mass can neither be created or destroyed in ordinary chemical reactions and changes
reactants simply rearrange themselves into new substances (products) in chemical reactions
