·
Atoms:
Smallest particle of any element
which may or may not exist independently.
·
Molecule:
At least two or more atoms chemically
combined together. It can exist independently.
·
Nucleon Number/Mass Number:
The total number of protons and
neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.
· Atomic Number:
The number of protons in an atom.
·
Molecular Formula:
The actual number of atoms each
element present in one molecule of a compound.
·
Empirical Formula:
The formula that tells us the simplest ratio of the different atoms present in the molecule.
Example:
Molecular
Formula Empirical
Formula
c₆H₆ = n X CH
n = molecular
formula mass/ empirical formula mass
(n = whole
number/ positive integer)
·
Isotopes:
Atoms with the same number of protons
but different number of neutrons.
·
Relative Atomic Mass:
The average weight mass of an atom
compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.
·
Relative Isotopic Mass:
Mass of an isotope compared to1/12
the mass of a C-12 atom.
·
Relative Molecular Mass:
The average mass of the molecules compared
to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.
·
Relative Formula Mass:
The mass of one formula unit of a
compound compared to1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom.
(Same as relative molecular
mass)(Used for compounds containing ions)
·
Moles:
Amount of substance that contains
Avogadro’s number of particles (6.02 x 10²³)
(It is the Ar/Mr expressed in grams)
1) No. of moles =
mass (grams)/Mr (Molar Mass)
2) No. of moles =
Volume(dm³) X Concentration(mol/dm³)
·
Avogadro’s Gas Law:
Under similar condition of
temperature and pressure, the molar ratio corresponds to the volume ratio and
vice versa.
·
Hydrocarbons:
Compounds containing carbon and
hydrogen only
CxHy + (x+y/4) O₂ → xCO₂ + (y/2) H₂O (general equation)
·
Combustion:
Burning in the presence of O₂
·
Combustion Analysis Tube:
Hydrocarbon enters the furnace .it is
first passed through a Carbon dioxide absorber (NaOH) and then through a
Moisture Absorber (MgClO₄)
Sample Question:
Data:

150g MgClO₄
|
100g NaOH
|
150g NaOH

Now you can calculate the following
by substituting the values below:
% Mass of Carbon = 2/44 x mass of CO₂ x 100%
% Mass of Hydrogen = 2/18 x mass of
HO₂ x 100%
% Mass of Oxygen = 100 – (% of carbon
+ % of hydrogen)
Mass of Oxygen = Weight of
sample-(Weight of carbon + weight of hydrogen)
·
Mass Spectrometer:
Mass spectrometer provides the
following information:
1) Number of isotopes of atom
2) Relative abundance of each isotope
3) The relative atomic weight of an atom
Sample: Mass spectrum of neon, Ne.
Ar of neon = (20 x 90.9) + (21 x 0.3)
+ (22 x 8.8) / 100 = 20.2
