S 1.3 Flashcards
What happens when a substance is heated?
-As a substance is heated the vibrational energy of its particles increases = temperature increases.
-Vibrations are sufficiently energetic for the particles to move away from their fixed positions.
-Energy added during this stage is used to break the inter-particle forces, not to raise the kinetic energy.
-Temp. remains constant
Relation between celsius and kelvin
273 K = 0ºC
1ºC=1K
How can matter be divided?
All matter
-Pure substance: compound, element
-Mixture: Homogeneous, Heterogeneous
Define empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms
Method to calculate the empirical formula
1) Convert into moles
-By dividing by the Mr
2) Divide by the smallest number
3) Approximate to the nearest whole number
How do you calculate the empirical formula when there are percentages
Mr of 1 specific element x mol / Total Mr of substance x 100
Define molecular formula
The actual number of atoms in a molecule
How can the molecular deduced from the empirical formula?
-Using the molar mass
(mass of empirical formula)x ) M where x is an integer
Triangle for concentration
mass / conc x vol
always in dm^3
What happens when a solution is diluted
The moles remain the same but because the volume increases the concentration decreases.
Give an equation relating initial and final concentration
C1V1=C2V2
-1= initial
-2= final
Define titration
Technique used to determine the concetration of a solution when reacting with a solution of known concetration.
What is gas volume determined by?
Gas volume is determined by the number of particles and by the temperature and pressure
What is avogadro’s law?
Equal volumes of all gases when measured at the same temperatures and pressure.
-v is directly proportional to n
What is the ideal gas model?
1) Particles in a gas have negligible volume compare with the volume the gas occupies.
2) No intermolecular forces between particles except when the molecules collide
3) Particles have a range of speeds and move randomly
-Average kinetic energy is proportional to the temperature
4) Collisions of particles with the walls of the container and with eachother are elastic
