F321: Atoms and Reactions
- Atomic Structure & Masses
- Isotopes of the same element
have: different masses, the same
number of electrons and protons,
different number of neutrons
- Calculate relative atomic mass,
decimal percentage multiplied by the
isotope mass number
- Relative masses: Proton = 1,
Neutron = 1, electron = 1/2000
- Relative charge = -1
electron, 1 proton, 0
neutron
- Definitions:
- Isotopes:- atoms of an element with different numbers of neutrons and different masses
- Relative isotopic mass - the mass of an atom of an isotope of an
element compared with one 1/12 of the mass of c12
- Relative atomic mass - the weighted mean mass of an atom
of an element compared to 1/12 of the mass of c12
- Molar Mass - mass per mole of a substabce
- Empirical formula - simplest whole number
ration of atoms of each element present in a
compound
- Molecular formula - the actual number of atoms
of each element present in a compound
- Atomic Number - the number of protons
in the nucleus of an atom
- Mass Number - the number of atoms in the
nucleus
- Ion - a positively of negatively charged
atom
- Relative molecular mass - the weighted mean mass
of a molecule compared with 1/12 of the mass of c12
- Relative formula mass - the
weighted mean mass of a
formula unit compared to 1/12
the mass of c12
- Amount of substance - the
quantity whose unit is the mole
- Mole - the amount of any substance containing as
many particles as there are carbon atoms in
exactly 12g of the c12 isotope
- Molecule small group of
atoms covalently bonded
- Molar volume - the vol per mole of a gas, units = dm3
mol-1, at room temp and pressure aprox 24
- Concentration - of a solution is the
amount of mil dissolved in 1 dm
- Stoichiometry - the molar relationship between
relative quantities of substances taking part in a
reaction
- Acid - proton donor
- Base - proton acceptor
- Alkali - a type of base that dissolves
in water to form OH- ions
- Salt - a chemical compound formed when an h+
from an acid id replaced with a metal ion
- Oxidation Number - is a measure of the
number of electrons that an atom used to bond
with atoms of another species
- Oxidation - loss of electrons or
an increase in oxidation number
- Reduction - gain of electrons or a decrease in oxidation number
- Redox reaction - a reaction where oxidation and reduction takes place
- Reducing Agent & Oxidising agent - reducing
- a reagent that reduces(adds electrons to)
another species. Oxidation - a reagent that
oxidises ( takes electrons from) another
species
- Formulas
- moles=mass/mr
- Gas volumes
- vol in (dm) moles=V/24
- Vol in (cm) moles=v/24000
- Moles = conc x vol(dm)
- Moles = conc x vol/1000 (cm)
- Acids and Bases
- Acids
- Sulphuric Acid --> H2SO4
- Hydrochloric Acid --> HCl
- Nitric Acid --> HNO3
- When an acid is added to
water it releases H+ ions into
the solution
- Bases
- Common bases are metal
oxides and hydroxides
- Bases neutralise acids
- Alkalis
- Sodium hydroxide --> NaOH
- Potassium Hydroxide --> KOH
- Ammonia --> NH3
- An alkaline is a special base
that dissolves in water
forming aqueous OH- ions
- Salts
- A salt is an ionic compound
with the following: positive
ion (cation) is usually a
metal ion or an ammonium
ion. The negative ion (anoin)
in a salt is derived from an
acid.
- Salts can be made from:
carbonates, bases, alkalis
- Salts from carbonates: Acid + Carbonate --> Salt + Water + CO2
- Salt from Bases: Acid +
Base --> Salt + Water
- Salt from Alkalis: Acid + Alkali
--> Base + Water
- Ammonium Salt & Fertilisers
- Ammonium salts are formed when acids
are neutralised by aqueous ammonia
- NH3 + HNO3 --> NH4NO3
- Titartions
- Colour changes
- Bromothymol Blue
- Colour in Acid - Yellow
- End Point - Green
- Colour in Base - Blue
- Methyl Orange
- Colour in acid - Red
- Colour in Base - Yellow
- End Point - Orange
- Phenolphthalein
- Colour in acid - Colourless
- End Point - Pale Pink
- Colour in Base - Pink
- Oxidation & Reduction
- Oxidation
- Oxidation Numbers
- Uncombined element = O
- Combined Oxygen = -2
- Combined Hydrogen = +1
- Simple Ion = charge on ion
- Combined Fluorine = -1
- Chlorine usually = -1
- Oxidation numbers in
chemical names
- Compound of transition element
usually indicate the oxidation
number in the name
- The sum of the
overall oxidation
numbers must
equal the overall
charge
- Reduction
- non metals tend to be reduced
whilst metals tend to be oxidised
- A reaction in which oxidation
and reduction occurs is called a
redox reaction
- TIP - write each oxidation
number below each atom and
then calculate whether its
oxidation or reduction
- Redox reaction of Acids and metals:- the metal is oxidised,
forming positive metal ions, the hydrogen in the acid id
reduced, forming the element hydrogen as a gas
- Oxidation is gain of oxygen -
Reduction is the loss of oxygen
- Oxidation is the loss of electrons -
Reduction is the gain of electrons
- Reduction is a decrease in oxidation number -
Oxidation is an increase in oxidation number
