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
What is the chemical equation for the haber process?
What is this process describing?
N2(g)+3H2(g)——> 2NH3(g)
Nitrogen fixing makes N2 bio-available
What is the balanced equation for the thermite reaction?
2Al(s)+Fe2O3(s)—–>2Fe(s)+Al2O3(s)
Secondary forces aka…
intermolecular forces
where do secondary intermolecular forces occur?
between function between the fundamental particles within a system
The prefix Inter means?
between
What substance has a total absence of intermolecular forces?
ideal gasses
Intermolecular forces are dominate in ___
solids
intermolecular forces are nonexistent in ____
ideal gasses
Inter and intra-molecular forces are equal in_____
liquids
What is the formula for kinetic energy?
KE=1/2mXv^2
What does KMTM stand for?
The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Matter
What is the KMTM
5 statements Based on the fact that all fundamental particles in a system are always in motion regardless of their physical state
What is the first statement of the KMTM
Fundamental particles that compose matter have definite and characteristic sizes
What is the second statement of the KMTM
The fundamental particles in any system possess a certain amount of kinetic energy in the form of constant random motion.
Why is kinetic energy considered a disruptive force in matter?
The random constant motion of the fundamental particles cause them to move further and further apart from one another decreasing the stability of the system. Weakening the matter.
What is the third statement of the KMTM
The atoms and molecules in any syatem also possess certain amount of potential energy stored in two possible forms
intramolecular force stored in chemical bonds
in covalent bonds PE is present in intermolecular forces as well *much weaker
Why is potential energy considered a cohesive force.
Potential energy pulls particles in a system closer together and increases the stability of the system
Where does the potential energy come from?
Electrostatic interactions
Where can PE be found in ionic compounds?
only in intramolecular forces of covalent compounds have PE
Where can PE be found in covalent compounds?
IN both the inter and intra-molecular forces
What is the fourth statement of the KMTM?
The velocity of the particles in a system is temperature dependent
The higher the temp the faster the particles move the more KE produced
What is the fifth statement of the KMTM?
As particles in the system collide with eachother via “elastic collisions” they will transfer KE between themselves.
What are elastic collisions?
Hypothetical collisions in a system where energy is conserved within a system
particles in a system refereed to as hot have ____ KE
higher
particles in a system refereed to as cold have ____ KE
lower
What is the overall statement of the KMTM?
to explain the differences in states of matter in terms of the disruptive(KE) and cohesive(PE) forces present
When does kinetic energy equal 0?
never even the most solid matter will have some KE
