CHEM ISTRY

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
EDGE ECE REVIEW SPECIALIST 2

• 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 – Compounds –
marble, concrete, wood salt, water, carbon dioxide gas
Homogeneous Mixtures – Elements –
sugar solution, pure air, metal alloys 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


-19
proton positive 1.0073 amu 1.602x10 C 1.673x10-27 kg
electron negative 0.00055 amu -1.602x10-19 C 9.11x10-31 kg
neutron neutral 1.0087 amu 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 56


26
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
EDGE ECE REVIEW SPECIALIST 3

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=2x1 = 2
O = 1 x 16 = 16
Formula Weight = 18 amu

E. Mole
• Amount of a substance which contains 6.022 x 1023 particles (Avogadro’s 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:
 1mol 
= 100g   
 39.948g 
= 2.50 mol Ar.
The number of atoms of argon is simply
 6.022  1023 atoms 
= 2.50 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.

Chemistry
EDGE ECE REVIEW SPECIALIST 4

Example: A compound consists of 30.4% nitrogen and the rest oxygen. What is its
empirical formula?
 1moleN 
Answer: mole N = 30.4g N   = 2.17 mole N
 14gN 
 1mol O 
mole O = (100 – 30.4)g O   = 4.35 mole O
 16.0g 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

Chemistry
EDGE ECE REVIEW SPECIALIST 10

• Heat capacity (c) – the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of an object or
substance by one degree; usually expressed in J/°C.
• Specific heat/molar heat capacity (cp) – heat capacity per unit mass of a substance at
constant pressure.
• Latent heat of fusion (Lf) – heat absorbed to melt a substance at constant temperature.
• Latent heat of vaporization (Lv ) – heat required to change a substance from its liquid phase
to its gaseous phase at constant temperature.

B. Calorimetry (heat measurement)


• Change in temperature
q = heat capacity x temperature change
= CΔT
= mass of object x specific heat x temperature change
= mC pΔT, for water, specific heat is C p = 1.0 cal/g°C

Example: A mass of 50g of copper (specific heat = 0.093 cal/g°C) at 30°C is heated up
to 100°C. How much heat was absorbed by the copper?
Answer: q = mC pΔT
 cal 
q = 50g  0.093  100C  30C 
 gC 
q = 325.5 cal

• Phase change
1. Solid ↔liquid
q = mLv, for water heat of fusion is: Lf = 80 cal/g
2. Liquid ↔ gas
q = mLf, for water heat of vaporization is: Lv = 540 cal/g

Example: If 100g of ice (C p = specific heat = 0.5 cal/g°C) at -5°C is converted to


steam (C p = specific heat = 0.5 cal/g°C) at 110°C, how much heat
is required?
Answer: heat involved in:
• temperature change (-5°C to 0°C)
q1 = mC pΔT = 100g (0.5 cal/g°C)(5°C) = 250 cal
• phase change (ice to water)
q2 = mLv = 100g (80 cal/g) = 8000 cal
• temperature change (0°C to 100°C)
q3 = mC pΔT = 100g (1cal/g°C)(100°C) = 10,000 cal
• phase change (water to steam)
q4 = mLf = 100g(540cal/g) = 54,000 cal
Total heat = q1 + q2 + q3 + q4
= (250 + 8000 + 10000 + 54000) cal
= 72250 cal

• Chemical reaction
1. Endothermic process – a reaction wherein heat is absorbed by the system, indicated by a
positive change of enthalpy.
2. Exothermic process – a reaction wherein heat is released by the system, indicated by a
negative change of enthalpy.
3. Hess’ Law – states that if a reaction is carried out in a series of steps, the enthalpy of
reaction, ΔH, is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes for the individual steps.

(a quantum) of energy. When it collides with an electron, it gives up its entire energy to the electron.
• Bohr’s Theory of a Hydrogen Atom – introduced by Niels Bohr in 1913; states that 1) an electron
in an atom can only be in a certain allowed places, and 2) when it is in one of these allowed places
it possesses a certain amount of energy.

• Types of solutions according to the solubility of solute


1. Saturated solution – a solution containing the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved
by the solvent at a given temperature.
2. Unsaturated solution – a solution containing less solute than the solvent can dissolve at a given

• 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 Chatelier’s 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.

• Weak electrolytes – compounds with non-metallic cations and anions; their degree of ionization is
lower than those of strong electrolytes.
• Non-electrolytes – compounds whose solution in water does not conduct electricity.
• Neutralization – reaction between an acid and a base that produces a salt, a neutral compound.
• Hydrolysis – a reaction between an ion and water.
• Amphoterism – property of some compounds to behave both as an acid and as a base.
