Term

 

Chemical Changes

Definition
  1. Changes that alter the composition of matter.
  2. Examples:
    1. Rusting
    2. releasing energy
    3. burning
Term
Energy
Definition
ability to do work
Term

Kinetic Energy

Definition
  1. Energy of Motion (motion of atoms, molecules, and subatomic particles).
  2. Thermal Heat is an example because it is caused by molecular motion.

Ex: A weight falling off a rooftop has ___ energy.

Term
Potential Energy
Definition
Energy that is stored in matter (due to the composition of matter and its position in the universe).

Ex: a weight hanging off the edge of a rooftop has high ___ energy and is unstable.

Ex 2: a weight sitting on the road after dropping has low ___ energy and is very stable.

Term
Law of Conservation of Energy
Definition

Law that states: The total amount of energy in a system remains the same.


EnergyBefore Reaction = EnergyAfter Reaction

Term

Conversion formula

F-->C

Definition
C=(F-32)/1.8
Term

Conversion Formula:

C-->K

Definition
K=C+273.15
Term

Conversion Formula:

C-->F

Definition
F=1.8C+32
Term
Extensive Properties
Definition
  1. The value depends on the quantity of matter.

EX: mass, volume, length, and total charge.

Term
Intensive Properties
Definition
  1. Value independent of the quantity of matter.

EX: temperature, color, hardness, melting point, boiling point, pressure, molecular weight, and density

Term
Law of Conservation of Mass
Definition
  1. In a chemical reaction, matter is neither created nor destroyed.

Massbefore = Massafter

Term
Law of Definite Proportions
Definition
  1. Proust: "All samples of a given compound (regardless of their source or how they were prepared) have the same proportions of their constituent element."

Ex: 2 mol of H2O contain same 2:1 (H:O) ratio as 4 mol H2O.

Term
Protons
Definition
  1. Positively charged particles
  2. mass of 1 amu
  3. in nucleus

#p=atomic number

Term
Neutrons
Definition
  1. noncharged particles
  2. mass of 1 amu
  3. in nucleus

#n = Atomic Mass - #p

Term
Electrons
Definition
  1. Negatively charged particles
  2. mass of about 0 amu
  3. in empty space around nucleus

#e=#p (except in ions)

Term

atomic number

Definition

the number of protons in the nucleus of an atom

 

5B

10.811

                 ^atomic mass

Term
isotopes
Definition
  1. Atoms that have more neutrons than protons
  2. Still behave similarly to neutral atom

 Ex: Ne-21 (10Ne)

 #p: 10, #n=21-10=11

 

Term
Ions
Definition
  1. Charged particles (from the gain or loss of e-)
    1. gain: become anions (-)
    2. lose: become cations (+) 
  2. Behave differently from the neutral atom
Term
Metalloid Elements (name them)
Definition
  1. Boron (B)
  2. Silicon (Si)
  3. Germanium (Ge)
  4. Arsenic (As)
  5. Antimony (Sb)
  6. Tellurium (Te)
  7. Polonium (Po)
Term
atomic mass
Definition

=∑(fractional abundance of isotope)n • (mass of isotope)n

Term
Molar Mass
Definition
  1. (M) = the mass of one mole of atoms.
  2. element's atomic mass in amu's.

EX: MHe= 4.003g/mol

Term

Empirical Formula
Definition

Simplest whole number ratio of the atoms of elements in a compound.


EX: C2H4-->CH2

Term
Combustion Analysis
Definition
  1. A common technique for analyzing compounds
  2. Burn a known mass of a compound and weigh the amounts of product made for C, O, and H.

C-->CO2

H-->H2O

Find O by subtracting mass from Sampleinitial

Term
Organic Compounds
Definition
  1. "living compounds"
  2. contain carbon and hydrogen
    1. also sometimes contain O, N, S, or P
  3. Easy to decompose; more difficult to make (can do this now in the lab)
Term
Inorganic Compound
Definition
  1. "Nonliving Compounds"
  2. Harder to decompose, so easy to synthesize.

EX: CO2 (No H)

EX2: NCl5

Term
Hydrocarbons
Definition
  1. Contain only Carbon and Hydrogen atoms.
  2. Most fuels made of these.
  3. Different names:
    1. alkanes: single bonds 
    2. alkenes: one or more C=C
    3. alkynes: CºC
    4. aromatic: C6 “benzene” ring
Term
