Chemistry 11 October 22/09


In Chemistry 11 we learned about gases and moles.
the volume occupied by a certain gas depends on the temperature and pressure.
STP the standard temperature and pressure that we are in right now is T = 0°C and the standard pressure is 101.3 kPa

The volume of any gas at STP is 22.4L for every mole

Ex. find the volume of L occupied by 0.060mol of CO2 at STP

0.060 * 22.4l/1mol = 1.3L

find the volume occupied by 3.6kg of fluorine at STP

F2 = 38g

3.6kg * 1000 = 3600g

3600g/38 = 94.737mol

94.737mol * 22.4 = 2121g

Today in Chemistry 11 we learned about Atomic Mass.
-the mass of 1 mole of atoms of an element
Ex.
mass of 1 mole of "C" atoms is 12.0g
mass of 1 mole of "Ca" atoms is 40.1g

Molar Mass
- the mass in grams of 1 mole of molecules of an element or compound is the molar mass for the diatomics you would times there mass by two if there by themselves H2, Cl2, F2, I2, O2, N2, Br2, and same goes for the molecular ones P4, S8

Element Symbol Formula Atmoic Mass Molar Mass
Bromine Br Br2 79.9 159.8
Neon Ne Ne 20.2 20.2
Silicon Si Si 28.1 28.1
Hydrogen H H2 1 2
Iron Fe Fe 55.8 55.8

For compounds add the molar masses of all the atoms
Ex.
H2O
2H - 2
1O - 16
H2O = 18g/mol

Ca(NO3)2
1Ca - 40.1
2N - 28
6O - 96
Ca(NO3)2 = 164.1g/mol

When you are converting Grams to Moles you would want it to be g/mol or mol/g
Ex.
Find the mass of 2.5moles of water
2.5 mol of H2o * 18.0g/1mol= 45g


Find the number of moles in 391g sample of nitrogen dioxide

381g NO2 / 46g*1mol = 8.5 mols

62.6mg of C12H22O11 = ? moles
C12 = 144
H22 = 22
O11 = 176
C12H22O11 = 342

.0626g of C12H22O11 / 342g * 1mol = 1.83 * 10 to the negative 4

Down here is a video showing how to convert moles to grams

Chemistry 11 October 15/09


Today in chemistry we learned about moles.

1 mole is equal to 6.02 x 1023

this number was created by Amedeo Avogadro. A pea of moles can cover all of the buildings in canada. Mr.Doktor also explained to us how to use the mole to balance equations.

Ex.
2 H2 + O2 = 2 H2O
2 molecules + 1 molecule = 2 molecules
12.04 x 10 power 23 + 6.02 x 10 power 23 = 12.04 x 10 power 23
2 moles + 1 mole = 2 moles

Avogadro also had a hypothesis and that was:
Equal volumes of any gas at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.

We also learned about a man named John Dalton and how he used masses of chemicals to look for a patter in chemical reactions.

What he came up with were :
11.1g of H2 reacts with 88.9g of O2
46.7g of N2 reacts with 53.3g of O2
42.9g of C reacts with 57.1g of O2

Which there was no pattern.

And we learned about a guy named Joseph Gay-Lussac he also was looking for a pattern in chemical reactions by using simple ratios.

He came up with:
1L of H2 reacts with 1L of Cl2 = 2L of HCl
1L of N2 reacts with 3L of H2 = 2L of NH3
2L of CO reacts with 1L of O2 = 2L of CO2

Here's a youtube video explaining a concept of the mole:

Dear Mr.Doktor we were both sick on this day so none of us could do a blog for it =(.

Acids and Bases and How to Name Them

Acids

-Solid, Liquid, or Gas SATP (Standard, Ambient, Temperature, Pressure)
T = 25oC p = 100KPA
-form conducting aqueous solutions
-turn blue litmus red
-dissolve in water to produce H+
-taste sour

Bases

-turn red litmus blue
-slippery
-non conductive
-dissolve in water to produce OH-

Naming Acids

-acids are aqueous (dissolve in water)
-hydrogen compounds are acids
Ex.
-HCl(aq) - Hydrochloric acid
-H2SO4(aq) - Sulfuric acid
-Hydrogen appears first in the formula unless it is part of polyatomic group
Ex.
CH3COOH(aq) - Acetic Acid
-classical rules use suffix ic or prefix hydro
Ex.
Hydrochloric acid
Sulfuric acid
IUPAC uses the aqueous hydrogen compound
Ex.
HCL(aq) - Aqueous Hydrogen chloride

Naming Bases

-for now all bases will be aqueous
-solutions of ionic hydroxides
Ex.
NaOH - sodium hydroxide
BaOH - barium hydroxide

Examples of naming acids and bases:

H3PO4(aq) - phosphoric acid
HLVO3(aq) - Nitric acid
HNO2(aq) - Nitrous acid
Mg(OH)2(aq) - Magnesium hydroxide
HBr(aq)- Hydro Bromic acid
HOOCCOOH - Oxalic acid

Here's a website that covers everything and more about today's lesson

Today in chemistry 11 we learned about hydrates, how to name them, molecular compounds, and how to name them.

Hydrates

-compounds that form lattices that bond to water molecules
-when there are no water compounds in a hydrate often preceded by anhydrous ex. copper sulfate
-crystals contain water inside, it can be released by heating



Naming Hydrates

-write name of the chemical formula
-add prefix indicating number of water molecules (mono, di, tri)
-add hydrate after prefix
-if something has more then one charge you can use ic at the end indicating a larger charge or ous indicating a smaller charge
Examples: cu(So4Li - 5H2O8 - cuppric sulfate pentahydrate
: Li(ClO4) - 3H2O - Lithium perchlorate trihydrate
: Nickel (II) sulfate hexahydrate - Ni(SO4) - 6 H2O

You will also need to know your prefixes for naming hydrates and molecular compounds
mono - 1
di - 2
tri - 3
tetra - 4
penta -5
hexa -6
hepta -7
octa - 8
nona - 9
deca- 10

Here's a video showing you how to name hydrates



Molecular Compounds

-composed of two or more non metals
-low melting and boiling points
-share (not exchange) electrons
-usually end in gen ex. oxygen hydrogen nitrogen
-7 molecules are diatomic (they are the same element)
Ex. H2, N2, F2, O2, Cl2, Br2, I2
-2 of them are polyatomic
Ex. P4, S8

Chemistry October 1/09



Today in chemistry we learned about protons, electrons, neutrons, and ions. Ions are atoms or molecules that have an electric charge on it, cations would be a positive ion, and anions would be a negative ion.

Heres a video giving you a good and clear understanding of what a proton neutron and electron is.



Protons:
the number of protons would be the atomic number in an element. By adding or removing neutrons there would be no change in the element. Protons have a positive charge and can be located in the nuclei

Electrons:
electrons are 1800 times smaller then the protons. Chemical reactions occur between electrons in different atoms and compounds. Electrons have a negative charge and can be located outside of the nucleus

Neutrons:
By adding or removing neutrons there is no change in the element because neutrons and protons almost have the same mass. Neutrons have no charge and can be located inside of the nuclei with the protons.



We also learned about the periodic table today. Families form vertical columns in the periodic table, while periods are horizontal rows. Elements change from metal to non-metals going from left to the right. All the elements of a family have similar traits and characteristics to one another.

Another thing we learned today in chemistry 11 is that some elements have a latin and a english name examples would be:
copper - cuprum
gold - aurum
iron- ferrum
lead - plumbum
silver - argentum


We also learned about naming the formula for the compounds examples would be:
potassium iodide - KI
barium chloride - BCl2
lithium bromide - LiBr
sodium hypochlorite - NaCLO

Here is a link to find out more about how to write and name formulas for compounds. This neat little link also gives you a practice test once you have read and understand how to name formulas for compounds.

Chemistry Class September 29/09

Today in chemistry 11 we learned that matter can be divided into either a heterogeneous mixture or a homogeneous mixture. In a homogeneous mixture there is only 1 visible substance for example water and graphite are homogeneous substances. Heterogeneous substances contain more than one visible component, examples would be chocolate chip cookie and granite.

We also learned that there are two types or pure substances. Elements is one of them which is a substance that can't be broken down to simpler substances by a chemical reaction. Examples would be oxygen, iron, magnesium. The other pure substance is a compound, which are substances that are made up of two or more elements and can
be changed into elements or other compounds by chemical reactions. Examples would be water, chocolate chip cookies, and sugar.
It is very difficult to know the difference between a compound and a element you can only see the difference on an atomic level. There is one method though, this method is to connect the substance to an electric current. This technique is called electrolysis it will split the compound apart into its consistent element.

Down Here is a video explaining Heterogeneous and Homogeneous mixtures.
