CHEMISTRY It matters
Scientific Notation • Conventions: • The coefficient “N”(number before the decimal) must be greater or equal to 1 and less than 10. • 1<= N <10 • If the exponent (e) is positive, move the decimal to the left (e) times. • Given 6.022 X 10^23, move the decimal to the left 23 times • -If the exponent (e) is negative, move the decimal to the right (e) times • Given 7.63X 10^-5, move the decimal to the right 5 times
Operations involving numbers in scientific notation Addition/Subtraction Make the exponents similar by moving the decimal point, add/subtract the coefficients and retain the exponent. Move the decimal and adjust the coefficient if necessary. Example: 8.52 X 10 ^16 + 9.7 X 10^15 85.2 X 10^15 + 9.7 X 10^15 = (85.2+9.7) X 10^15 85.2 X 10^15 + 9.7 X 10^15 = 94.9 X 10^15 85.2 X 10^15 + 9.7 X 10^15 = 9.5 X 10 ^16
Operations involving numbers in scientific notation Multiplication Multiply the coefficients and then add the exponents. Move the decimal point and adjust the coefficient if necessary. Example: (1.74 X 10^5) X (2.89 X 10^6) (1.74 X 10^5) X (2.89 X 10^6)= (1.74 X 2.89) X 10^(6+5) (1.74 X 10^5) X (2.89 X 10^6)= 5.0286 X 10^11 (1.74 X 10^5) X (2.89 X 10^6) = 5.03 X 10^11
Operations involving numbers in scientific notation Division Divide the coefficients and then subtract the exponents. Move the decimal point and adjust the coefficient if necessary. Example: (8.6 X 10^7) / (3.5 X 10^2) (8.6 X 10^7) / (3.5 X 10^2) = (8.6/3.5) X 10^(7-2) (8.6 X 10^7) / (3.5 X 10^2) = 2.45714286 X 10^5 (8.6 X 10^7) / (3.5 X 10^2) = 2.5 X 10^5
Dimensional Analysis This is considered as a powerful method in understanding basic Chemistry and is an alternative to memorizing loads of formulas and techniques. The idea is to find a way to multiply, divide, or derive a quantity whose units is consistent with the unknown. Example: You don’t know how to solve for the density of an object but you know that its unit is ml/g. Because of its unit, you can try dividing the volume of the object by its mass.
Properties of Matter Physical vs Chemical Physical: can be measured without changing the identity and composition of matter *temperature, color, length Chemical: can be measured only when composition of matter is changed; these properties measure the way substance may change or react with other substances *reactivity, combustibility
Properties of Matter Intensive vs Extensive Intensive/Intrinsic: properties that depend on the quality and kind of matter but NOT on the amount of matter *amount-independent properties: temperature, density Extensive/Extrinsic: properties that change when the amount of matter is changed *amount-dependent properties: mass, volume, length
Changes in Matter Physical: change in physical state/dimension of a substance, but not its composition *freezing water, cutting paper Chemical: change in the composition of a substance forming a new substance with different properties *spoilage of food, burning of wood, rusting of iron ** Law of Conservation of Mass: There is no detectable change in the mass of a substance during a chemical reaction
Changes in Matter Nuclear: transformation of the nucleus of an atom resulting to a new atom -Nuclear Fission: splitting of a large/heavy nucleus -Nuclear Fusion: combination of two light nuclei -Radioactive decay: spontaneous breakdown of unstable atomic nuclei releasingalpha, beta, or gamma particles Note: In a chemical reaction, the composition of substances may be changed but the identity of individual atoms remain the same from reactant to products. The identity of individual atoms is changed; hence, new atoms are normally formed.
Energy Changes in Matter Enthalpy/ Enthalpy Change (∆H) – heat content of matter * ∆H reaction or ∆H rxn = ∆H products - ∆H reactants * ∆H = ∆H final - ∆H initial Endothermic Reaction – energy is absorbed by the system, energy gain * +∆Hrxn, photosynthesis Exothermic reaction – energy is released by the system, energy loss * - ∆H rxn, combustion of fuel Activation Energy (Ea) – minimum amount of energy needed to convert reactants to products Catalyst – substance that speeds up a reaction
Classification of Matter Matter Pure substance Mixture Element Homogenous Heterogeneous Compound Law of Definite Composition A pure compound always consists of the same elements that combine in the same proportions by mass Law of Multiple Proportions If elements A and B form more than one compound, the amounts of A that are combined in these compounds, with a fixed amount of B, stand in a small, whole number ratio.
Classifications of Compounds Binary (2 elements) vs Ternary (3 elements) Organic (has carbon, except for CO2, CO3, and CO3-2) vs Inorganic (CO2, CO3, CO3-2 , and anything without carbon) Acids vs Bases vs Salt
Acids, Bases, Salts Acids - proton (H+) donor - blue litmus paper to red - pH < 7 Bases -proton acceptors, produces hydroxide ion (OH-) - red litmus paper to blue -pH > 7 Salts -neutralized product of an acid and a base **Phenolphthalein = a liquid that is colorless but turns pink when it is mixed with a base/ basic solution
Power of Hydrogen The pH determines the acidity/alkalinity of a compound pH = - log [H+] *[H+] = 1.00 x 10 ^-pH in aqueous systems *[H+] is the concentration (in Molarity or mol/L) of hydrogen ions pOH = - log [OH-] *[OH-] = 1.00 x 10 ^-pOH in aqueous systems *[OH-] is the concentration (in Molarity or mol/L) of hydroxide ions
Mixtures Homogenous • One phase mixture • Also “solution”, mixture of two substances that is uniform all throughout • Colligative properties depend on the relative amount of solute and solvent in a solution. As the amount of solute in a solution increases, there is freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and vapor pressure lowering. *air, vinegar, soy sauce, steel
Mixtures Heterogeneous • Two or more phases • Suspension: relatively large particles *oil and water, sand in water • Colloid: small, insoluble particles, exhibits Tyndall effect • Tyndall effect: when light passes through the mixture, you can see its particles *milk, mayonnaise
