Calculate average atomic mass of an element from isotopic abundance


The atomic mass of an element depends on the abundance of its isotopes. If you know the mass of the isotopes and the fractional abundance of the isotopes, you can calculate the element's atomic mass. The atomic mass is calculated by adding the mass of each isotope multiplied by its fractional abundance. For example, for an element with 2 isotopes: Formula: Atomic Mass = massa x %abundancea + massb x %abundanceb
Example: Cl-35 mass is 34.968852 and % abundance is 0.7577

Cl-37 mass is 36.965303 and % abundance is 0.2423

Atomic mass = massa x %abundancea + massb x %abundanceb Atomic mass = 34.968852 x 0.7577 + 36.965303 x 0.2423 Atomic mass = 26.496 amu + 8.9566 amu Atomic mass = 35.45 amu

Predict trends in periodic table

Periodic Trends: o Properties of elements show variation in groups and periods and these trends can be predicted with the help of the periodic table

Periodic Properties: o o Atomic Radius Ionic Radius

o o o

Ionization Energy Electron affinity Electronegativity

Atomic Radius: o An atom is a group of electrons in different orbitals/levels around a tiny central nucleus, forming a sort of electron cloud around the nucleus. The atomic radius is the approximate distance from the nucleus to the borders of this cloud. The atomic radius is one half of the distance between the nuclei of two atoms of the same element when the atoms are bonded

Trends in atomic radius: o o Atomic radius increases from top to bottom within a group and decreases from left to right across a period Atomic radius increases from top to bottom b/c more energy levels are added, which are further away from the nucleus, shielding outer electrons from positive nucleus

Ions: o Positive and negative ions form when electrons are transferred between atoms Some compounds are composed of particles called ions An ion is an atom or group of atoms that has a positive or negative charge A cation is an ion with a positive charge An anion is an ion with a negative charge

*As an atom loses 1 or more electrons (becomes positive), it loses a layer therefore, its radius increases

Ionization Energy: o The ionization energy is the amount of energy required to remove electrons from the atom (forming a +ion)

o o

Ionization energy is the energy in kilojoules per mole (kJ/mol) Na+ Energy Na+ (both sodium atom and sodium ion are in gaseous state)

Successive ionization energies: o The energy required to remove the first electron from an atom is called first ionization energy o The energy required to remove an electron from an ion with a 1+ charge is called second ionization energy o It becomes more difficult to remove successive electrons since the pull of the nucleus becomes stronger (greater number of protons relative to electrons) and the electrons are more tightly held

Trends in Ionization energy: o Ionization energy tends to decrease from top to bottom within a group and increase from left to right across a period Ionization energy decreases from top to bottom because there are more energy levels, electrons are further away, less attracted to the proton, more easily removed Ionization energy increases from left to right because it becomes more difficult to remove electrons from atoms which have more protons attracting them

Electron Affinity: o Helps make negative ions Example : F+ e- F + energy o Easier to add electrons to smaller atoms and take away electrons from larger atoms

Electronegativity: (covalent bonding)

o o

Ability of an atom to attract the shore of an electron pair In a bonding situation it would show how powerful an atom is

PH and [H+]

pH stands for power of hydrogen it is a way of indicating the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution
in a neutral solution, [H+(aq)] = 1 x 10-7 in an acidic solution, [H+(aq)]> 1 x 10-7 in a basic solution, [H+(aq)]< 1 x 10-7

1. Given the [H+] concentration as 1 x 10x, the pH is equal to the x

[H+(aq)] = 1 x Ex. [H+(aq)] = [H+(aq)] = 1 x [H+(aq)] = 1 x

10-x, pH = x 1 x 10-7, therefore pH = 7 (neutral) 10-3, therefore pH = 3 (acidic) 10-11, therefore pH = 11 (basic)

2. Given the [H+] concentration as a value not expressed as 1 x 10x,

we use the equation: pH = -log [H+(aq)] Ex. [H+(aq)] = 4.7 x 10-11, pH = -log (4.7 x 10-11) = 10.33 (basic) [H+(aq)] = 1.3 x 10-2, pH = -log (1.3 x 10-2) = 1.89 (acidic)
3. Calculating concentration of H+ in a solution from the pH

[H+(aq)] = 10-pH Ex. pH = 5, [H+(aq)] = 10-5 = 1 x 105mol/L pH = 10.33, [H+(aq)] = 10-10.33 = 4.7 x 10-11 mol/L

Kinetic molecular theory: 1. All matter is made up of particles 2. Particles are in constant motion and collide with one another Properties of states of matter State Solid Properties Definite shape & volume Virtually incompressible Do not flow easily Rotational motion Vibrational motion Explanation using Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) - Low kinetic energy & strong intermolecular forces - As the energy is low, particles exhibit little motion and dont collide enough to separate particles - Due to strong attractive forces, there isnt any orderly arrangement of particles - Higher kinetic energy, therefore particles exhibit more motion - Strong attractive forces hold particles together but due to kinetic

Liquid

Assume shape of a container, definite volume Virtually incompressible Flow readily Translational motion

Vibrational motion

Gas

Assume shape and volume of a container Highly compressible Flow readily Translational motion The volume gases can occupy is very large in comparison to the small volume occupied by individual particles

energy bring high than in solids particles are more apart than in solids High kinetic energy and virtually no intermolecular forces Particles collide often and spread (diffuse) as far from each other as possible, occupying the entire volume

Types of motions exhibited by particles 1. Translational motion: motion in a straight line 2. Rotational motion: spinner motion 3. Vibrational motion: back and forth motion of atoms within molecule

Laws!!!!!!!!!!!
Boyles Law: at a constant temperature (T), the volume (V) of a fixed
amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure (P). V = 1/P
-

As the pressure increases the volume decreasesproportionally P 1 V 1 = P2 V 2

Charles Law:at a constant pressure (P), the volume (V) of a fixed


amount of gas is directly proportional to its kelvin temperature (T). V = T

As the temperature increases, the volume increases proportionally V1 =V2 T1 T2

Gay Lussacs Law: at a constant volume (V), the pressure (P) of a fixed
amount of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature (T). P = T As the temperature increases, the pressure increases proportionally P1 =P2 T1 T2

Combined Gas Law: the volume (V) of a fixed amount of gas changes
when both Kelvin temperature (T) and pressure (P) change of at the same time. This is called combined gas law because it combined boyles law, charles law and gay lussacs law into one.

P1V1 =P2V2 T1 T2

Avogadros Theory & Molar Mass of Gases


Avogadros theory: states that equal volumes (V) of gases at the same temperature (T) and pressure (P) contain equal numbers of molecules. Molar volume of gas: the volume that one mole of gas occupies at a specific temperature and pressure.
-

This concept combines the mole concept (1 mole of any substance always contains 6.022 x 1023 particles) with Avogadros theory (equal volumes of gases contain equal number of particles at the same pressure & temperature) At STP (0.C, 101.325 KPa) molar volume = 22.4 L/mol At SATP (25.C, 100 KPa) molar volume = 24.8 L/mol Molar volume = volume of gas moles of gas Vm= V n

Ideal Gas Law


-

an ideal gas is a hypothetical gas composed of particles that have zero size and travel in straight lines (translational motion) and have no attraction to each other (zero intermolecular force)

Combined gas law: the product of the pressure and volume of a gas is directly proportional to the product of the amount of kelvin temperature of a gas. PV = nT PV = nRT (R = universal gas constant = 8.31 KPa. L. mol-1. K-1) note: if pressures given in atm not KPa, then R = 0.0821 L. atm. mol-1. K-1

Daltons law of partial pressures:the total pressure of a mixture of


non-reacting gases is equal to the sum of partial pressures of the individuals gases. Ptotal= P1 + P2 + P3 + V & T constant

Partial pressures: refers to the pressure of a gas In a gas mixture that It would exert if it were the only gas present in the same volume and at the same temperature.

Law of combining volumes and stoichiometry


States that when measured at the same temperature and pressure, the volume of gaseous reactants and products of chemical reactions are always in simple, whole-number ratios. By looking at the balances chemical equation for the reaction, we can use the mole ratios to determine the ratio of volumes of gases in the reaction

Calculations: 1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation or the reaction 2. Write the information given by equation 3. Use the mole ratio to calculate the volume ratio for the gases Number of mol of X from balanced equation= Number of mol of Y from balanced equation volume of X volume of Y

Gas Stoichiometry
All stoichiometry problems require the use of a mole ratio, which we obtain from the balanced equation for the reaction You need to recall the following equations -

M = m/n N = n x Na (Na = 6.02 x 1023) C=n/V PV =nRT

n = V/Vm
