Ch 100: Fundamentals for Chemistry
Chapter 1: Introduction Lecture Notes
What is Chemistry?• Chemistry is considered to be the central science• Chemistry is the study of matter• Matter is the “stuff” that makes up the universe• The fundamental questions of Chemistry are:
• How can matter be described?• How does one type of matter interact with other types of
matter?• How does matter transform into other forms of matter?
Scientific Method1. Recognize a problem
Make observation Ask a question
2. Make an educated guess - a hypothesis Predict the consequences of the hypothesis
3. Perform experiments to test the predictions Does experiment support or dispute hypothesis?
4. Formulate the simplest rule that organizes the 3 main ingredients - develop a theory
The Scientific Attitude• All hypotheses must be testable (i.e. there
must be a way to prove them wrong!!)• Scientific: “Matter is made up of tiny
particles called atoms”• Non-Scientific: “There are tiny particles of
matter in the universe that will never be detected”
Major Developments in Chemistry I~400 BC: Democritus proposed the concept of the “atom”~300 BC: Aristotle developed 1st comprehensive model of matter~700 AD: Chinese alchemists invent gunpowder1661: Robert Boyle proposed the concept of elements1770-1790: Lavoisier proposed the concept of compounds & the Law of Mass
Conservation1774: Priestly isolates oxygen1797: Proust proposed the Law of Definite Proportions1803: Dalton re-introduces the concept of the atom and establishes Dalton’s Laws1869: Mendeleev creates the 1st Periodic Table1910: Rutherford proposes the “nuclear” model of the atom1915: Bohr proposes a “planetary” model of the hydrogen atom1920: Schroedinger publishes his wave equation for hydrogen1969: Murray Gell-Mann proposes the theory of QCD (proposing the existence of quarks)
Discovery of subatomic particles:1886: Proton (first observed by Eugene Goldstein)1897: Electron (JJ Thompson)1920: Proton (named by Ernest Rutherford)
1932: Neutron (James Chadwick)
Other Important Discoveries:1896: Antoine Henri Becquerel discovers radioactivity1911: H. Kamerlingh Onnes discovers superconductivity in low temperature
mercury1947: William Shockley and colleagues invent the first transistor1996: Cornell, Wieman, and Ketterle observe the 5th state of matter (the Bose-
Einstein condensate) in the laboratory

Chapter 2: Measurements & CalculationsLecture Notes
Types of Observations• Qualitative
Descriptive/subjective in natureDetail qualities such as color, taste, etc.Example: “It is really warm outside today”
• QuantitativeDescribed by a number and a unit (an accepted
reference scale)Also known as measurementsExample: “The temperature is 85oF outside
today”
Measurements• Described with a value (number) & a unit
(reference scale)• Both the value and unit are of equal
importance!! • The value indicates a measurement’s size
(based on its unit)• The unit indicates a measurement’s
relationship to other physical quantities
Scientific Notation• Technique Used to Express Very Large or
Very Small Numbers• Based on Powers of 10• To Compare Numbers Written in Scientific
NotationFirst Compare Exponents of 10 (order of
magnitude)Then Compare Numbers
Writing Numbers in Scientific Notation
1 Locate the Decimal Point2 Move the decimal point to the right of the
non-zero digit in the largest placeThe new number is now between 1 and 10
3 Multiply the new number by 10n
where n is the number of places you moved the decimal point
4 Determine the sign on the exponent, nIf the decimal point was moved left, n is +If the decimal point was moved right, n is –If the decimal point was not moved, n is 0
Writing Numbers in Standard Form1 Determine the sign of n of 10n
If n is + the decimal point will move to the rightIf n is – the decimal point will move to the left
2 Determine the value of the exponent of 10Tells the number of places to move the decimal
point3 Move the decimal point and rewrite the
number
Measurement SystemsThere are 3 standard unit systems we will focus on:
1. United States Customary System (USCS)formerly the British system of measurementUsed in US, Albania, and a couple othersBase units are defined but seem arbitrary (e.g. there are 12 inches in 1 foot)
2. MetricUsed by most countriesDeveloped in France during Napoleon’s reignUnits are related by powers of 10 (e.g. there are 1000 meters in 1 kilometer)
3. SI (L’Systeme Internationale)a special set of metric unitsUsed by scientists and most science textbooksNot always the most practical unit system for lab work
Related Units in the Metric System
• All units in the metric system are related to the fundamental unit by a power of 10
• The power of 10 is indicated by a prefix• The prefixes are always the same,
regardless of the fundamental unit
Units & Measurement• When a measurement has a specific unit (i.e.
25 cm) it can can be expressed using different units without changing its meaning
• Example:» 25 cm is the same as 0.25 m or even 250 mm
• The choice of unit is somewhat arbitrary, what is important is the observation it represents
Measurement & Uncertainty
• A measurement always has some amount of uncertainty
• Uncertainty comes from limitations of the techniques used for comparison
• To understand how reliable a measurement is, we need to understand the limitations of the measurement
Measurements & Significant Figures
• To indicate the uncertainty of a single measurement scientists use a system called significant figures
• The last digit written in a measurement is the number that is considered to be uncertain
• Unless stated otherwise, the uncertainty in the last digit is ±1
Rules for Counting Significant Figures
• Nonzero integers are always significant• Zeros
Leading zeros never count as significant figuresCaptive zeros are always significantTrailing zeros are significant if the number has a
decimal point• Exact numbers have an unlimited number of
significant figures
Rules for Rounding Off
• If the digit to be removed• is less than 5, the preceding digit stays the same• is equal to or greater than 5, the preceding digit
is increased by 1• In a series of calculations, carry the extra
digits to the final result and then round off• Don’t forget to add place-holding zeros if
necessary to keep value the same!!
Exact Numbers• Exact Numbers are numbers known with
certainty • Unlimited number of significant figures• They are either
counting numbersnumber of sides on a square
or defined100 cm = 1 m, 12 in = 1 ft, 1 in = 2.54 cm1 kg = 1000 g, 1 LB = 16 oz1000 mL = 1 L; 1 gal = 4 qts.1 minute = 60 seconds
Converting between Unit Systems
To convert from one unit to another:Identify the relationship between the units (e.g.
100 cm = 1 m)Write out the starting measurement and multiply
it by a quantity that will yield the desired value:25 cm ( ) = _____ m
The number in the “( )” is called the “conversion factor”
Metric Prefixes
Weight vs. Mass• Mass is the amount of
“stuff” in an object• Mass is inertia• Mass is the same
everywhere in the universe
• SI Units of mass are kilograms (kg)
• Weight is the effect of gravity on an object’s mass
• Weight is a force• Weight depends on
location• SI units of weight
are newtons (N)• USCS units are
pounds (lb)
Volume• The 3-D space an object occupies• The SI unit is m3 (meters x meters x meters)
• The common metric unit is the Liter (L)• Mass and volume are not the same thing• Do not confuse mass & volume
Density• Density is a property of matter representing the mass per
unit volume• For equal volumes, denser object has larger mass• For equal masses, denser object has small volume• Solids = g/cm3
1 cm3 = 1 mL• Liquids = g/mL• Gases = g/L• Volume of a solid can be determined by water
displacement• Density : solids > liquids >>> gases• In a heterogeneous mixture, denser object sinks

Chapter 3: Matter & Energy Lecture Notes
• Introduced observation as an important step in understanding the natural world
• All types of matter are mixtures of one of 4 basic “elements”:
• All matter has one or more of 4 basic “qualities”:
• According to Aristotle:Any substance could be transformed into another substance by
altering the relative proportion of these qualities (i.e. lead to gold)
Aristotle (384-322 BC)
4) Fire2) Water
3) Air1) Earth
4) Dry2) Moist
3) Hot1) Cold
Physical & Chemical Properties• Physical Properties are the characteristics of
matter that can be changed without changing its compositionCharacteristics that are directly observable
• Chemical Properties are the characteristics that determine how the composition of matter changes as a result of contact with other matter or the influence of energyCharacteristics that describe the behavior of matter
Physical & Chemical Changes• Physical Changes are changes to matter
that do not result in a change the fundamental components that make that substanceState Changes : boiling, melting, condensing
• Chemical Changes involve a change in the fundamental components of the substanceProduce a new substanceChemical reactionReactants Products

Classification of MatterMatter can be classified as either Pure or Impure:
Pure Element: composed of only one type of atom
Composed of either individual atoms or molecules (e.g. O2) Compound: composed of more than one type of atom
Consists of molecules Impure (or mixture)
Homogeneous: uniform throughout, appears to be one thing pure substances solutions (single phase homogeneous mixtures) Suspensions (multi-phase homogeneous mixtures)
Heterogeneous: non-uniform, contains regions with different properties than other regions

Separation of Mixtures
• A pure substance cannot be broken down into its component substances by physical means only by a chemical process The breakdown of a pure substance results in formation of
new substances (i.e. chemical change) For a pure substance there is nothing to separate (its only 1
substance to begin with)• Mixtures can be separated by physical means (and
also by chemical methods, as well)• There are 2 general methods of separation
Physical separation Chemical separation
Methods of Separation• There are 2 ways of separating various substances:
1) Physical separation: separation of substances by their physical properties (such as size, solubility, etc.)Mixtures can be separated by physical separationThere are several methods of separating mixtures
Filtration (solids from liquids) Distillation (liquids from liquids) Centrifugation (liquids from liquids)
2) Chemical separation: separation of substances by their chemical propertiesUsages:
Compounds can be separated into their individual elements Mixtures can be separated by chemical separation as well
There are several methods of chemical separation Ion exchange (such as water purification systems) Chemical affinity (using antibodies to isolate specific proteins) Various Chemical reactions
Energy• The capacity of something to do work
chemical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, radiant, sound, nuclear
• The SI unit of energy is the Joule (J)Other common units are
Calories (cal)Kilowatt-hour (kW.hr)
• Types of energy:PotentialKineticHeat
• Energy cannot be created nor destroyed (but it does change from one type to another!)
Heat & Temperature• Temperature is _____.
how hot or cold something is (a physical property) related to the average (kinetic) energy of the substance (not the
total energy) Measured in units of
Degrees Fahrenheit (oF) Degrees Celsius (oC) Kelvin (K)
• Heat is energy that _____. flows from hot objects to cold objects is absorbed/released by an object resulting in its change in
temperature• Heat absorbed/released is measured by changes in
temperature
Temperature Scales
• Fahrenheit Scale, °FWater’s freezing point = 32°F, boiling point = 212°F
• Celsius Scale, °CTemperature unit larger than the FahrenheitWater’s freezing point = 0°C, boiling point = 100°C
• Kelvin Scale, KTemperature unit same size as CelsiusWater’s freezing point = 273 K, boiling point = 373 K
Temperature of ice water and boiling water.
Heat• Heat is the flow of energy due to a temperature difference
Heat flows from higher temperature to lower temperature• Heat is transferred due to “collisions” between
atoms/molecules of different kinetic energy• When produced by friction, heat is mechanical energy
that is irretrievably removed from a system• Processes involving Heat:
1. Exothermic = A process that releases heat energy. Example: when a match is struck, it is an exothermic process because
energy is produced as heat.2. Endothermic = A process that absorbs energy.
Example: melting ice to form liquid water is an endothermic process.
Heat (cont.)
• The heat energy absorbed by an object is proportional to:The mass of the object (m)The change in temperature the object undergoes
(T)Specific heat capacity (s) (a physical property unique to
the substance)
• To calculate heat (Q):Q = s . m . T
Specific Heat Capacity (s)• The amount of heat energy (in J or Cal) required to increase
the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1oC (or 1K)
• The Units of Specific Heat Capacity:1. J/goC (SI)2. cal/goC (metric & more useful in the lab)
• Specific Heat Capacity is a unique physical property of different substances Metals have low specific heat capacity Non-metals have higher specific heat capacity Water has an unusually large specific heat capacity
s = Q/(mT)

Chapter 4: Elements, Ions & Atoms Lecture Notes
Dmitri Mendeleev (1834-1907)• Russian born chemist• Considered one of the
greatest teachers of his time• Organized the known
elements into the first “periodic table”Elements organized by
chemical properties (& by weight) -> called periodic properties
Predicted the existence of 3 new elements
Chemical Symbols & Formulas
• Each element has a unique chemical symbol• Examples of chemical symbols:
Hydrogen: HOxygen: OAluminum: Al
• Each molecule has a chemical formula• The chemical formula indicates
the chemical symbol for each of the elements presentThe # of atoms of each element present in the molecule
• Examples of chemical formulas:Elemental oxygen: O2 (2 O atoms per molecule)
Water: H2O (2 H atoms & 1 O atom)
Aluminum sulfate: Al2(SO4)3 (2 Al, 3 S & 12 O atoms)
Dalton’s Atomic Theory1. Each element consists of individual particles
called atoms2. Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed3. All atoms of a given element are identical4. Atoms combined chemically in definite
whole-number ratios to form compounds5. Atoms of different elements have different
masses
The AtomThe atom has 2 primary regions of interest:1) Nucleus
Contains protons & neutrons (called nucleons, collectively) Establishes most of the atom’s mass
Mass of 1 neutron = 1.675 x10-27 kg Mass of 1 proton = 1.673 x10-27 kg
Small, dense region at the center of the atom The radius of the nucleus ~ 10-15 m (1 femtometer)
2) The Electron Cloud Contains electrons
Mass of 1 electron = 9.109 x10-31 kg Establishes the effective volume of the atom
The radius of the electron cloud ~ 10-10 m (1 Angstrom) Determines the chemical properties of the atom
During chemical processes, interactions occur between the outermost electrons of each atom
The electron properties of the atom will define the type(s) of interaction that will take place
Structure of the Atom
Electric Charge• Electric charge is a fundamental property of matter• We don’t really know what electric charge is but we do know
that there are 2 kinds: Positive charge (+) Negative charge (-)
• Opposite charge polarity is attractive:+ attracts -
• Same charge polarity is repulsive:+ repels + and – repels –
• The magnitude of electric charge (q) is the same for protons and electrons:
• The charge of a proton or electron is the smallest amount that occurs in nature, it is called the quantum of charge: qproton = +1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs qelectron = -1.602 x 10-19 Coulombs
What holds the atom together?• Electromagnetic interaction (a.k.a. electric force) holds
the electrons to the nucleusThe negative charge (-) of the electrons are attracted to
the positive charge (+) of the nucleus• Strong interaction (a.k.a. strong force) holds the
nucleons together within the nucleusThe positive charge of the protons repel each otherAll nucleons, protons and neutrons, possess a STRONG
attraction to each other that overcomes the protons’ mutual repulsion
Atomic Bookkeeping• Atomic number (Z)
The number of protons in an atomThe number of protons in an uncharged atomDetermines the identity of the atom
• Mass number (A)The number of protons & neutrons in an elementDetermines the weight of the atom
• To determine number of neutrons in an atom:# of neutrons = (Mass #) – (Atomic #)
Or# of neutrons = A - Z
Mass # vs. Atomic Mass• Isotopes are the equivalent of sibling members of an
element Unique atoms of the same element with different mass numbers
(i.e. they have different numbers of neutrons) Unique isotopes are identified by their mass number
• Isotope notation:
• Example: carbon-12 ( ) & carbon-14 ( ) • Atomic mass
The average total mass of an element’s various naturally occuring isotopes
The unit of Atomic Mass is the Dalton (formerly called the amu) 1 Dalton = one twelfth mass of one 12C atom = 1.661x10-27 kg Note: There 6 protons & 6 neutrons in a 12C atom but the mass of a 12C
atom is actually less than the combined mass of all of the nucleons individually.
Where is this lost mass? It’s released as energy when the nucleons combine (bind) to form the nucleus of the atom.

Examples of Isotopes
The Periodic Table• All of the known elements are arranged in a chart
called the Periodic Table• The elements are arranged by similarity of
chemical properties• Each element is identified by its Atomic Number• The elements are organized left-to-right and top-
to-bottom by their Atomic Number• The columns are called Groups
Elements of each group have similar properties• The rows are called Periods
Elements and the Periodic TableThe elements can be categorized as
MetalsThe leftmost elements of the periodic tableRoughly 70% of all of the elements
NonmetalsThe rightmost elements of the periodic table
Semimetals (metalloids)The elements between the metals and nonmetalsProperties are not quite metal or non-metal
Ions
• Atoms (or molecules) that have gained or lost one or more electrons
• Ions that have lost electrons are called cations
• Ions that have gained extra electrons are called anions
• Ionic compounds have both cations and anions (so that their net charge is zero)
Ions (cont.)• Ions have electric charge:
“+” when 1 or more electrons are lost“-” when 1 or more electrons are gained
• When an atom/molecule is an ion, its charge must be specified:Sodium ion: Na+
Chloride ion: Cl-Hydroxide ion: OH-
• Notes on Electric Charge:Opposite charges attract
Like charges repel
+ -+ +- -
Ch 100: Fundamentals for Chemistry
CH 100: Chemical Nomenclature(a.k.a. naming compounds)
Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794)• Considered by many to be the “Father
of Modern Chemistry”• Major contributions included
Demonstrated that water cannot be transmuted to earth
Established the Law of Conservation of Mass
Developed a method of producing better gunpowder
Observed that oxygen and hydrogen combined to produce water (dew)
Invented a system of chemical nomenclature (still used in part today!)
Wrote the 1st modern chemical textbook
Types of Compounds• When compounds are formed they are held together by
the association of electrons• This association is called a chemical bond• There are 3 general types of chemical bonds:
1. Ionic2. Covalent (or molecular)3. Polar covalent
• Simple compounds are classified (and thus named) according to the type of chemical bond(s) that hold together its atomsNote: many compounds have more than one type of chemical
bond present, but we will only work with “simple compounds”
Types of Compounds (cont.)For “practical” purposes will separate compounds into 2
general categories:• Ionic
Made up of ions (both positive and negative charge)Must have no net charge (i.e. combined charge of zero)Depend on the attraction between positive and negative charges
of the ionsUsually a metal is present as a cation and a nonmetal is present
as an anion• Molecular (or covalent)
Made up of atoms that share their outer electronsCharge plays no direct role in their formationUsually no metals are present
Naming Compounds• Easiest way to identify an ionic compound is
to ask whether or not it has a metal present:Yes -> ionic (e.g. CaCl2)No -> covalent (e.g. CCl4)
• Covalent compounds require the use of Greek prefixes to indicate the number of each element present in one molecule
• Ionic compounds do not use the Greek prefixes
Naming Simple CompoundsA “simple” or binary compound is a compound made of
only 2 types of elements • When the first element is a metal:
• The first element (metal) keeps its full name• The non-metal goes by its root with the suffix “-ide”
added to the endExample: NaCl is sodium chloride
• When there are no metals present• Same as above except• Greek prefixes must be used to identify the number of
each element present in the compoundExample: CO2 is carbon dioxide
Ionic Charges & the Periodic Table
Group 1 metals form 1+ cations (Na+ sodium ion)Group 2 metals form 2+ cations (Ca2+ calcium ion)Group 13 metals form 3+ cations (Al3+ aluminum ion)All other metals (i.e. the transitional metals, Pb, etc.) form more than one type of
cationRoman numerals must be used to indicate the charge of the cationExample:
Fe3+ is called iron(III)FeCl3 is called iron(III) chloride
Exceptions:Ag+, Cd2+ & Zn2+
Group 15 nonmetals form 3- anions (N3- nitride ion)Group 16 nonmetals form 2- anions (O2- oxide ion)Group 17 nonmetals form 1- anions (Cl- chloride ion)Group 18 nonmetals do not form ions
Greek Prefixes for Compound Names
1) Mono-2) Di-3) Tri4) Tetra-5) Penta-
CCl4 is carbon tetrachloride
6) Hexa-7) Hepta-8) Octa-9) Nona-10) Deca-
C3H8 is tricarbon octahydrideNotes:
1) Prefixes are used when the compound does not have a metal present (or when H is the first element in the formula)
2) Prefixes must be used for every element present in the compound
3) mono- is not used for the first element in a compound name (e.g. carbon dioxide)
Ionic Compounds containing Polyatomic ions
• Some ionic compounds are made up of polyatomic ions
• When you encounter this, do not freak out!!• Become familiar with the polyatomic ions on
the handoutExample: the nitrate ion (NO3
-)• The naming of this type of compound is
similar to that for ionic compounds
AcidsFrom the Latin term for “sour”{Acids are sour to the taste}Acids are substances that donate protons (H+) (usually when dissolved in
water)Chemical formula usually begins with HExample: hydrochloric acid
HCl(aq) + H2O(l) H3O+ + Cl- (aq)
Taste bitterUsually metal containing hydroxidesSubstances that accept protons (H+) when dissolved in waterExample: potassium hydroxide
KOH(aq) + H3O+ K+(aq) + H2O (l)
Bases
Naming AcidsLets separate acids into 2 types:
Acids that contain oxygen Acids that do not contain oxygen
Naming acids containing oxygen: For acids containing “-ate” anions:
1. Use root of the anion (for sulfate, SO42-, use sulfur)
2. Add “-ic” suffix then end with “acid”
Example: H2SO4 is sulfuric acid
For acids with “-ite” anions:1. Use root of the anion (for sulfite, SO3
2-, use sulfur) 2. Add “-ous” suffix then end with “acid”
Example: H2SO3 is sulfurous acid
Naming Acids (cont.)Naming acids not containing oxygen:
Add “hydro-” prefix to beginningUse root of the anion (i.e. Cl- use chlor)Add “-ic” suffix then end with “acid”Example: HCl is hydrochloric acid
Name the following acids:HFHNO2
HCNH3PO4
Ch 100: Fundamentals for Chemistry
Chapter 6: Chemical Reactions
Chemical Reactions (Intro)• When matter undergoes chemical changes these processes are called
chemical reactions• Substances that undergo the change(s) are called the reactants• The resulting substances are called the products• Standard form of a chemical reaction:
Reactant(s) Product(s)Example:
2H2 (g) + 1O2 (g) 2H2O (g)
• The underlined numbers are called coefficients.The number of each molecule for each reactant & product in the chemical
reactionThey are always whole numbers
Chemical Reactions (cont.)Balanced chemical reactions indicate the ____
identity of each reactant & product involved in the reaction
phase of each reactant and product involved in the reaction (i.e. solid (s), liquid (l) or gas (g))
relative quantity of each reactant and product involved in the reaction (the coefficients!)
relative molar quantity of each reactant and product involved in the reaction (the coefficients!)
Rates of Chemical Reactions• How quickly a chemical reaction occurs is indicated by its
reaction rateHow quickly the concentration of products increasesHow quickly the concentration of reactants decreases
• Factors that influence reaction rates:Reactants must be in contact
Reactions occur due to collisionsWithout contact between reactants there can be no reaction
Concentration of reactantsThe more reactant molecules packed into a given space the more likely a
collision (& reaction) will occurTemperature
the average KE of each reactant affects how much energy will be transferred between reactants during a molecular collision
Molecules must transfer enough KE to break the existing bonds

Catalysts• Catalysts are substances that speed up chemical
reactionsAllow reactions to occur that might not otherwise take place
(due to low temperature for example)Lower activation energy for a chemical reactionDo not participate in the reaction
They may undergo a chemical change as a reactant but they are always recycled as a product (so there is no net change in the catalyst molecule)
• Catalysts are indicated in a chemical reaction by placing the chemical formula over/under the reaction arrow.
Example:Reactants Products

Catalysts lower Activation EnergyActivation Energy without catalyst
Endothermic or Exothermic?(that is the question…)
In chemical reactions:Energy is required to break bonds (energy absorbed)Energy is released when bonds are formed
• The amount of energy required to break a chemical bond is the same as the energy released when the bond is formed, this is called Bond Energy
• During a chemical reaction:Energy is absorbed equal to the bond energies for all bonds broken in
the reactantsEnergy is released equal to the bond energies for all bonds formed in
the products• Endothermic reactions absorb more energy than they release• Exothermic reactions release more energy than they absorb
Balancing Chemical Reactions• According to the Law of Mass Conservation (& John Dalton!) matter is never
created nor destroyedAll atoms in the reactants of a chemical reaction must be accounted for in the
products• The Basic Process:
Identify all reactants & products in the reaction & write out their formulas (this is the unbalanced chemical equation)
Count the number of each atom for each compound for each reactant & product (these values must be the same for both reactants & products when the reaction is balanced!)
Starting with the most “complicated” molecule, systematically adjust the coefficients to balance # of the atoms on each side of the reaction (balance one atom at a time)
Repeat until all atoms are balanced for the reactionNow you have a balanced chemical equation!
Balancing Chemical Reactions (example)
When sodium metal is added to water a violent reaction takes place producing aqueous sodium hydroxide and releasing hydrogen gas.
1. Write out the unbalanced chemical reaction:
2. Now, balance the chemical reaction:
Balancing Chemical Reactions (Hint)
• When a polyatomic ion(s) appears on both the reactant & product side of the reaction unchanged, treat the whole ion as a “unit” when balancing the reaction
• Example:
• Note the nitrate ion (NO3-) gets swapped between the
Ag + and the Ca2+ ions in this reaction• So NO3
- can be treated as a whole unit when balancing this reaction
• Balance it!
AgNO3(aq) + CaCl2 (aq) AgCl(s) + Ca(NO3)2(aq)
Ch 100: Fundamentals for Chemistry
Chapter 7: Chemical Reactions in Aqueous Solutions
Driving Forces & Chemical Reactions
• The tendency for reactants to undergo chemical changes (reactions) to form products are called “driving forces”
• There are 4 common “driving forces”:1. Formation of a solid (precipitation reaction)2. Formation of water (acid-base reaction)3. Transfer of electrons (oxidation-reduction reaction)4. Formation of a gas (bad taco reaction )
• When 2 or more chemicals are brought together, if any of these things can happen, a chemical change is likely to occur
• When one of these processes occurs, we describe the resulting chemical reaction based on the driving force
Solubility• A measure of how much of a solute will dissolve in a solvent is called its solubility
Solubility is temperature dependent Solid solubility increases with increased temperature (i.e. you can dissolve more sugar in hot
water than in cold water) Gas solubility increases with decreased temperature (i.e. you can dissolve more CO2 in cold
water than hot water) A solute is soluble if any of it will dissolve in a solvent NaCl is soluble in water
• A solute is insoluble if no appreciable amount of it will dissolve in solvent AgCl is insoluble in water
• When 2 solutions are combined and result in the formation of an insoluble product: The product will not dissolve in the solvent The product will form a precipitate Precipitation (formation of a solid) is one indication that a chemical change has
occurred!
Precipitation Reactions• in all precipitation reactions, the ions of one
substance are exchanged with the ions of another substance when their aqueous solutions are mixed
• At least one of the products formed is insoluble in water

• when ionic compounds dissolve in water the anions and cations are separated from each other; this is called dissociation
• we know that ionic compounds dissociate when they dissolve in water because the solution conducts electricity
Dissociation (examples)• potassium chloride dissociates in water into
potassium cations and chloride anionsKCl(aq) = K+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
• copper(II) sulfate dissociates in water into copper(II) cations and sulfate anions

solubility rules if product is insoluble or slightly soluble, it will precipitate
Solubility Rules1. Most compounds that contain NO3
- ions are soluble2. Most compounds that contain Na+, K+, or NH4
+ ions are soluble
3. Most compounds that contain Cl- ions are soluble, except AgCl, PbCl2, and Hg2Cl2
4. Most compounds that contain SO42- ions are soluble,
except BaSO4, PbSO4, CaSO4
5. Most compounds that contain OH- ions are slightly soluble (will precipitate), except NaOH, KOH, are soluble and Ba(OH)2, Ca(OH)2 are moderately soluble
6. Most compounds that contain S2-, CO32-, or PO4
3- ions are slightly soluble (will precipitate)
Ionic Equations• equations which describe the chemicals put into the water and the
product molecules are called molecular equationsKCl(aq) + AgNO3(aq) KNO3(aq) + AgCl(s)
• equations which describe the actual ions and molecules in the solutions as well as the molecules of solid, liquid and gas not dissolved are called ionic equations
K+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) + Ag+
(aq) + NO3-
(aq) K+ (aq) + NO3
- (aq) + AgCl(s)
• ions that are both reactants and products are called spectator ionsK+
(aq) + Cl- (aq) + Ag+ (aq) + NO3
- (aq) K+
(aq) + NO3-
(aq) + AgCl(s)
• an ionic equation in which the spectator ions are dropped is called a net ionic equation
Cl- (aq) + Ag+ (aq) AgCl(s)
Electrolytes• electrolytes are substances whose aqueous
solution is a conductor of electricity• all electrolytes have ions dissolved in water• in strong electrolytes, virtually all the molecules
are dissociated into ions• in nonelectrolytes, none of the molecules are
dissociated into ions• in weak electrolytes, a small percentage of the
molecules are dissociated into ions
Reactions that Form Water:Acids + Bases
• Acids all contain H+ cations and an anion• Bases all contain OH- anions and a cation• when acids dissociate in water they release
H+ ions and their anions• when bases dissociate in water they release
OH- ions and their cations
Acid-Base Reactions• in the reaction of an acid with a base, the H+ from the acid
combines with the OH- from the base to make water• the cation from the base combines with the anion from
the acid to make the saltacid + base salt + water
H2SO4(aq) + Ca(OH)2(aq) CaSO4(aq) + 2 H2O(l)• the net ionic equation for an Acid-Base reaction is always
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) H2O(l)
Reactions of Metals with Nonmetals
(Oxidation-Reduction)• The metal loses electrons and becomes a
cationWe call this process oxidation
• The nonmetal gains electrons and becomes an anionWe call this process reduction
• In the reaction, electrons are transferred from the metal to the nonmetal
Oxidation-Reduction Reactions• All reactions that involve a transfer of one or
more electrons are called oxidation-reduction reactions
• We say that the substance that loses electrons in the reaction is oxidized and the substance that gains electrons in the reaction is reduced.
Predicting Products of Metal + Nonmetal Reactions
• metal + nonmetal ionic compound ionic compounds are always solids unless dissolved in
water• in the ionic compound the metal is now a cation• in the ionic compound the nonmetal is now an
anion• to predict direct synthesis of metal + nonmetal
1) determine the charges on the cation and anion(from their position on the Periodic Table)
2) determine numbers of cations and anions needed to have charges cancel
3) balance the equation
Another Kind of Oxidation-Reduction Reaction
• Some reactions between two non-metals are also oxidation-reduction reaction
• Any reaction in which O2 is a reactant or a product will be an oxidation-reduction reaction
• Examples:CH4(g) + 2 O2(g) CO2(g) + 2 H2O(g)
2 SO3(g) 2 SO2(g) + O2(g)
Ways to Classify Reactions• Reactions that involve solid formation are
called precipitation reactions• Reactions that involve water formation are
called acid-base reactions• Both precipitation reactions and acid-base
reactions involve compounds exchanging ions, ion exchange reactions are called double displacement reactions
Double Displacement Reactions• two ionic compounds exchange ions• X Y (aq) + AB (aq) XB + AY• reaction will not occur unless one of the
products either (1) precipitates or (2) is water
Ways to Classify Reactions
• Reactions that involve electron transfer are called oxidation-reduction reactionsMetals + NonmetalO2 as a reactant or product
• Reactions that occur in aqueous solution where one of the products is a gas are called gas forming reactions
NaHCO3(aq) + HCl(aq) NaCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Ways to Classify Reactions• Reactions that involve one ion being
transferred from one cation to another are called single replacement reaction
X Y + A X + AY
• Examples:Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)
Fe2O3(s) + 2 Al(s) 2 Fe(s) + Al2O3(s)
Other Ways to Classify Reactions
• Reactions in which O2(g) is reacted with a carbon compound are called Combustion Reactions
• Combustion reactions release a lot of energy• Combustion reactions are a subclass of
Oxidation-Reduction reactions• Combustion of carbon compounds produces
CO2(g)• Combustion of compounds that contain hydrogen
produces H2O(g)C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
Other Ways to Classify Reactions
• Reactions in which chemicals combine to make one product are called Synthesis Reactions
• Metal + Nonmetal reactions can be classified as Synthesis Reactions
2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2 NaCl(s)• Reactions of Metals or Nonmetals with O2 can be
classified as Synthesis ReactionsN2(g) + O2(g) 2 NO(g)
• These two types of Synthesis Reactions are also subclasses of Oxidation-Reduction Reactions
Other Ways to Classify Reactions• Reactions in which one reactant breaks
down into smaller molecules are called Decomposition Reactions
• Generally initiated by addition of energyAddition of electric current or heat
• Opposite of a Synthesis Reaction2 NaCl(l) 2 Na(l) + Cl2(g)

Amadeo Avogadro(1743-1794)
• Italian lawyer turned chemist• Major contributions included:
Established difference between atoms & molecules:Oxygen & nitrogen exist as molecules O2 & N2
Reconciled the work of Dalton & Guy-LussacEstablishing Avogadro’s Principle: equal volumes of all gases at the same
temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules.• Did not determine Avogadro’s number nor the mole (these
concepts came later)Avogadro is honored because the molar volume of all gases should be
the sameMuch of Avogadro’s work was acknowledged after he died, by Stanislao
Cannizarro
The Mole• A counting unit (similar to the dozen)
A large unit used to describe large quantities such as number of atoms
1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 units• 6.022 x 1023 is known as Avogadro’s number (NA)
• Relationship between the mole & the Periodic TableThe atomic mass is the quantity (in grams) of 1 mole of that elementThe units of atomic mass are grams/moleMass is used by chemists as a way of “counting” number of
atoms/molecules of a substance• Mole calculations

Chemical Equations: What do they tell us?
• A properly written chemical equation will provide the following information:
1. All reactants & products involved in the reaction
2. The physical state of all reactants & products3. The presence of any catalysts involved in the
chemical reaction4. The relative quantity of all reactants &
products
Information Given by theChemical Equation
• Balanced equation provides the relationship between the relative numbers of reacting molecules and product molecules
2 CO + O2 2 CO2
2 CO molecules react with 1 O2 molecules to produce 2 CO2 molecules
Information Given by theChemical Equation
• Since the information given is relative:2 CO + O2 2 CO2
200 CO molecules react with 100 O2 molecules to produce 200 CO2 molecules2 billion CO molecules react with 1 billion O2 molecules to produce 20 billion CO2 molecules2 moles CO molecules react with 1 mole O2 molecules to produce 2 moles CO2 molecules12 moles CO molecules react with 6 moles O2 molecules to produce 12 moles CO2 molecules
Information Given by theChemical Equation
• The coefficients in the balanced chemical equation shows the molecules and mole ratio of the reactants and products
• Since moles can be converted to masses, we can determine the mass ratio of the reactants and products as well
Information Given by theChemical Equation
2 CO + O2 2 CO2
2 moles CO = 1mole O2 = 2 moles CO2
Since 1 mole of CO = 28.01 g, 1 mole O2 = 32.00 g, and 1 mole CO2 = 44.01 g
2(28.01) g CO = 1(32.00) g O2 = 2(44.01) g CO2
1. Write the balanced equation 2 CO + O2 2 CO2
2. Use the coefficients to find the mole relationship
2 moles CO = 1 mol O2 = 2 moles CO2

Ch 14: Solutions & ConcentrationLecture Notes
Solutions• Solutions are single phase homogenous mixtures• Solutions consist of:
Solvent: the component in largest quantitySolute(s): the other components
• The solute is considered to be dissolved in the solvent• When a solution has not reached its limit of dissolved
solute it is an unsaturated solution• When a solution has reached its limit of dissolved
solute and any added solute will not dissolve, it is a saturated solution
Concentration• A measure of how much of a substance (solute) is
dissolved in another substance (solvent)• To calculate [concentration]:
• Common usages of concentration:Mass (m/v) conc. (units are grams/L, grams/mL, etc.)Volume (v/v) conc. (unit-less, often % is used)Molarity (units are moles/L or M)
solventofamount
soluteofamountsoluteofconc .
Mass Percent (%)• Concentration of a solute dissolved in a solvent (in grams per unit gram
of solution)• To determine mass percent
Divide mass of solute (in grams) by the total mass of solution (in grams) and multiply this ration by 100%
Example: What is the mass percent of 30.0 grams of NaCl in a 150.0 gram solution?
Questions: (a) How much CaCl2 is in 250.0 grams of solution where the mass percent of CaCl2 is 30.0%? (b) How much Cl- is in this solution?

Molarity• Concentration of a solute (in moles per unit volume) dissolved in a
solvent• SI units are moles/liter, or M (molarity or molar concentration)• To determine molarity from mass concentration
Simply a unit conversion from grams to moles (using atomic or molar mass as the unit conversion)
Example: What is the molarity of a NaCl solution with concentration of 30.0 grams/L?
The molar mass of NaCl is 22.99 + 35.45 = 58.44 grams/mol
Question: What is the molarity of Na+ and Cl- in this solution?

The pH Scale• The acidity (or concentration of H+) of a solution is often
measured using the pH scale• The pH scale is based on the molarity of H+ ions in solution• The pH scale ranges from 0 (acidic) to 14 (basic)
When pH=7.0 the solution is neutral acidity, there is equal concentration of H+ and OH- in the bulk liquid
• To calculate pH from [H+] (in mol/L): pH=-log10[H+]Example: a solution with [H+]=1.0x10-5 M[H+]=1.0x10-5 M then pH = -log10(1.0x10-5) = 5.0
• To calculate [H+] from pH: [H+]=10-pH
Example: a solution with pH = 9.0pH = 9.0 then [H+]=10-9.0 M = 1.0x10-9 M
pH Concept Questions• What is the [H+] for a 0.5 M HCl solution? 0.5 M• What is the [H+] for a 0.5 M H3PO4 solution? Less than 0.5 M• Do the 2 solutions above have the same pH? No, pH depends on [H+] not [acid]• Why or why not? HCl is a strong acid but H3PO4 is a weak acid
• How does a strong acid differ from a weak acid? Strong acids dissociate all of their H+ ions when in water
whereas weak acids do not!
