    Chemistry is a branch of science which deals with the study of matter and the changes it undergoes. A. Branches of chemistry

    Organic Chemistry Inorganic Chemistry Physical Chemistry Analytical Chemistry Biochemistry

    I. MATTER Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass. It is composed of tiny particles called atoms. There are presently 106 different kinds of atoms (elements) in which each of these are represented by a symbol.

    Law of Conservation of Mass Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Law of Conservation of Energy Energy can not be created nor destroyed. It can only be

    transformed from one form to another. Law of Definite Composition A pure compound is always made up of same constituent

    elements combined in a definite proportion by weight. Law of Multiple Proportions When two elements react to form more than one compound,

    the different weights of one that combine with a fixed weight of the other are in the ratio of small whole numbers.

    SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM-CLASSIFICATION OF MATTER

    A. Physical States Solid has definite size and shape Liquid has definite volume but takes the shape of the container Gas has neither definite shape nor definite volume

    B. Properties Physical Properties those that can be measured without changing the basic identity of the

    substance (e.g. color, density, odor, boiling point). Chemical Properties those that describe how a substance may react to form other

    substances (e.g. flammability, tendency to rust).

    Chemistry

    Intrinsic Properties are properties of the substance that are independent of the shape and size of the substance. (e.g. temperature, pressure, etc.).

    Extrinsic Properties are properties of the substance that are related to its size and shape. (e.g. volume, mass, weight, etc.)

    C. Changes Which Matter Undergoes Physical Change involves changing one or more physical properties of a sample of matter

    without changing its composition (e.g. evaporation, cutting of wire, crystallization, tearing of paper).

    Chemical Change results in the change in composition of matter (e.g. burning of paper, rusting of iron).

    D. Composition

    Mixtures Pure Substance

    Heterogeneous Mixtures marble, concrete, wood

    Compounds salt, water, carbon dioxide gas

    Homogeneous Mixtures sugar solution, pure air, metal alloys

    Elements hydrogen gas, gold, mercury, neon gas

    II. CHEMICAL FORMULAS

    A. The Atom Basic building block of the universe; has the following major components:

    Subatomic particles Charges Mass Electric Charge Unit mass in kg

    proton electron neutron

    positive negative neutral

    1.0073 amu 0.00055 amu 1.0087 amu

    1.602x10-19 C -1.602x10-19 C

    1.673x10-27 kg 9.11x10-31 kg 1.675x10-27 kg

    Atomic number equal to the number of protons of an element. Atomic mass equal to the combined masses of protons and neutrons. Neutral atom number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. Positively charged atom if there are more protons than electrons. Negatively charged atom if there are more electrons than protons.

    Example: What is the number of neutron in one atom of 5626

    Fe ? Answer: The number of protons is 26. The number of protons and neutrons (mass number) is 56. Thus, the number of neutrons is 56 26, or 30.

    B. Atomic Weight Equal to the average of the isotopic masses weighted according to the naturally occurring

    abundance of the isotopes of the element. Expressed relative to the value of exactly 12 amu for a carbon-12 atom.

    Chemistry

    Example: What is the atomic weight of argon (Ar) given the following percentage of abundance in nature: 99.60% 40Ar, mass is 39.962 amu 0.337% 36Ar, mass is 35.968 amu 0.063% 38Ar, mass is 37.963 amu. Answer: Atomic weight of argon: = (0.996x39.962) + (0.00337x35.968) + (0.00063x37.963) = 39.947 amu

    C. Formula Weight Is used for compounds that are made up of ions and have primarily ionic bonding. Is

    convenient as it can be used for both ionic and covalent bonding. D. Molecular Weight Is used for compounds that are composed of molecules and have primarily covalent

    compound. Will be used only for covalent compounds which consists of molecules like sucrose C12H22O11, ethyl alcohol C2H5OH, and Carbon Monoxide CO.

    Example: Calculate the formula weight of water, H2O. Answer: Since there are 2 atoms of hydrogen and 1 atom of oxygen in a formula unit of water, then the formula weight is H = 2 x 1 = 2 O = 1 x 16 = 16 Formula Weight = 18 amu

    E. Mole Amount of a substance which contains 6.022 x 1023 particles (Avogadros number) of matter;

    (the world particle can mean atom, molecule, or ion). Equal to the gram molecular mass of a substance

    Example: How many moles and atoms are there in 100 g of argon? Answer: The molecular mass of argon is 39.948 g/mole. The number of moles of argon in the sample is:

    = 1mol100g39.948g

    = 2.50 mol Ar. The number of atoms of argon is simply

    =236.022 10 atoms2.50 moles

    mole

    =1.51 x 1023 atoms

    F. Formulas and Formula Masses A chemical formula indicates the relative number of atoms of each element in a substance. If the numbers are the smallest possible integral values that express the relative number of

    atoms, the formula is called an empirical formula. The formula mass is the sum of the masses of every atom in a substance as indicated in its

    formula.

  • EDGE ECE REVIEW SPECIALIST 4

    Chemistry

    Example: A compound consists of 30.4% nitrogen and the rest oxygen. What is its empirical formula?

    Answer: mole N = 1moleN30.4g N14gN

    = 2.17 mole N

    mole O = (100 30.4)g O 1mol O16.0g O

    = 4.35 mole O

    The smallest mole ratio of nitrogen to oxygen is 1:2. Thus, the empirical formula is NO2.

    G. Molecular Formulas and Molecular Masses A molecular formula is similar to the empirical formula expect that it expresses the actual

    number of atoms of each element in one molecule of a substance. If a molecular formula is used, the corresponding formula mass is called a molecular mass.

    Example: A compound with molecular mass equal to 60.0 has the following percent composition: C = 40.0%, H = 6.67%, O = 53.3%. What is its molecular formula? Answer: Atomic weight of argon: = (0.996x39.962) + (0.00337x35.968) + (0.00063x37.963) = 39.947 amu

    II. CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS

    A. Types of Chemical Compounds Ionic Compounds metal and nonmetal ions held together by electrostatic forces of

    attraction. Molecular Compounds nonmetal elements held together by covalent bonding. B. Composition of Chemical Compounds It is the components of compounds and their relative proportions in a given sample.

    Example: What are the masses of carbon and hydrogen in 50.0 g of methane (CH4)? Answer: The molecular mass of methane is (4)1 + (1)12, or 16. The percentage of C is 12/16 or 75.0%. The percentage of hydrogen is 4/16 or 25.0%. For a 50.0g sample the mass of hydrogen is = 0.25 (50.0g) = 12.5g And that of carbon is = 0.75 (50g) = 37.5g

    C. Oxidation State It is the number of electron an atom can donate, accept, or share with other atoms to from a

    compound. The common oxidation states of some elements are the following:

    Chemistry

    16.0g32.0g/mole

    M=0.2 litermoleM=2.5liter

    4. Molarity (m) no. of moles of solute per kg. of solvent.

    number of moles solutem = kg solvent

    Example: The molarity of a solution of C2H5OH in water is 1.25 mol/kg. How many grams of alcohol are dissolved in 2.5 kg of water? Answer:

    1.25mole 46gg=2.5kg

    kg moleg=143.75g

    5. Normality (N) no. of equivalent weight of solute per liter of solution.

    grams of soluteN = (eqv wt. of solute) x (liter of soln)

    The equivalent weight of solute is determined by its change in valence in the particular reaction used. It follows that:

    molecular mass (g/mole)eqv. wt. (g/eqv) = change in valence (eqv/mole)

    Colligative Properties of Solutions

    These are properties of solution which depend on the number of solute particles but not on the identity of the solute.

    1. Vapor Pressure Lowering the addition of a non-volatile solute lowers the vapor pressure of the liquid because the solute reduces the fraction of solvent present. With relatively fewer solvent molecules, the rate of their escape from solutions is diminished, resulting in a decreased vapor pressure.

    2. Boling Point Elevation addition of a non-volatile solute lowers the vapor pressure of the

    solution. As a result, the boiling point of the solution will be higher than that of the pure liquid. 3. Freezing Point Depression the decrease in freezing point is directly proportional to the

    molarity of the solute.

    4. Osmotic Pressure pressure needed to prevent osmosis. (Osmosis the net movement of solvent molecules through a semi-permeable membrane from a more dilute solution to a more concentrated one.)

    X. CHEMICAL KINETICS

    Chemical Kinetics study of rates of chemical reactions, rate laws and reaction mechanisms. Reaction Rate number of moles of a reactant consumed per unit time. Usually the unit used is

    molars per second (M/sec). Rate Law an equation or mathematical expression showing the relationship between reactant

    concentrations and rate of reaction. Rate Constant an experimentally determined constant of proportionality between the reaction rate

    and the concentrations of reactants that appear in the rate law. Law of Mass Action at constant temperature, the rate of reaction is usually proportional to some

    power of concentration of each reactant. Order of Reaction the sum of the powers of the concentration factors in the rate equation. Reaction Mechanisms series of successive elementary steps by which reactants are converted

    to products. Factors Affecting Reaction Rate:

    Factors Effect on reaction rate

    1. greater frequency of collision increase

    2. higher energy of activation decrease

    3. higher energy of activation Increase

    4. lower temperature decrease

    5. increasing the concentration of reactants Increase

    6. increasing the particle size of reacting molecules decrease

    7. using a catalyst Increase

    Catalyst a substance that changes the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing a

    permanent change.

    XI. CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM

    Chemical Equilibrium a state in which two opposing chemicals reactions are proceeding in opposite directions at the same speed.

    Le Chateliers Principle if a system at chemical equilibrium is disturbed by some stress, the system goes to a new equilibrium condition in such a way as to relieve the stress.
