Density

DENSITY is a physical property of matter, as each element and compound has a unique density associated with it. Density defined in a qualitative manner as the measure of the relative "heaviness" of objects with a constant volume.

For example: A rock is obviously more dense than a crumpled piece of paper of the same size.

A styrofoam cup is less dense than a ceramic cup.

Density may also refer to how closely "packed" or "crowded" the material appears to be - again refer to the styrofoam vs. ceramic cup.

Take a look at the two boxes below. Each box has the same volume. If each ball has the same mass, which box would have more mass? Which would weigh more? Why?

[pic]

The box that has more balls has more mass per unit of volume. This property of matter is called density. The density of a material helps to distinguish it from other materials. Since mass is usually expressed in grams and volume in cubic centimeters, density is expressed in grams/cubic centimeter

The formal definition of density is mass per unit volume. Usually the density is expressed in grams per mL or cc. Mathematically a "per" statement is translated as a division. cc is a cubic centimeter and is equal to a mL Therefore,

Density = mass

volume

Periodic Table

The properties of the elements exhibit trends. These trends can be predicted using the periodic table and can be explained and understood by analyzing the electron configurations of the elements. Elements tend to gain or lose valence electrons to achieve stable octet (8) formation. Stable octets are seen in the inert gases, or noble gases, of Group VIII of the periodic table.

Chemical Compounds

A chemical formula is a combination of elemental symbols and subscript numbers that is  used to show the composition of a compound.   Depending of the type of compound that the formula represents, the information that it provides will vary slightly.  Before we go about learning how to write chemical formulas, it is important that you clearly understand the difference between covalent (molecular) compounds and ionic compounds.

     Ionic compounds are composed of charged ions that are held together by electrostatic forces.  A typical type of ionic compound, called a binary compound because it is made up of two elements, will be composed of  metallic positive ions (cations) and nonmetal negative ions (anions). When dealing with ionic formulas it is very important to remember that the formula does not show how the compound actually exists in nature.  It only shows the ratio by which the individual ions combine.  For example, the ionic formula for calcium chloride is CaCl2.

Covalent (molecular) compounds are held together by covalent bonds, or shared pairs of electrons. When we say that the molecular formula of water is H2O, we can see that the molecules of water are made up of three atoms, two hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to each oxygen atom.

You will be given the name of a binary compound and you will be expected to be able to write the proper formula for the compound.  There will be two sources of information for writing the correct formula.  The compounds name will give you the elements that make up the compound.  The oxidation numbers of the ions involved will show you the ratio by which they combine.  Let's go through an example;

Example 1.  Write the correct formula for Barium Fluoride.

Step one - Write the symbols for the elements in the compound.  If you need to review the elemental symbols, see lesson 5-1.  Note that the ending "ide" is used for fluoride to show that it is a negative ion of fluorine.

Barium = Ba              Fluoride = F

Step two - Look up the oxidation numbers of the elements involved (in table 5-2b or some similar table), and write them as superscripts to the right of the elemental symbols.  Note that when no number accompanies a charge symbol, as in the case of fluoride below, they charge value is understood to be "1".

Barium = Ba2+             Fluoride = F-

Step three - Use the correct combination of ions to produce a compound with a net charge of zero.  In this case, (2+) + 2(-1) = 0.  So, two fluoride ions will cancel out one barium ion.   Since it would take two fluoride ions (each with a charge of negative one) to cancel out one barium ion (with a charge of plus two) we use a subscript of two after the symbol for fluorine to show the ratio.

BaF2

If this seems confusing to you, it will get simpler over time.

For a binary compound containing two nonmetals, use the Greek prefixes before the names of the elements to determine the number of atoms of each in the compound. If there is no Greek prefix for the first element, there is just one atom of that element in the formula.

|Greek Prefixes |Number |

|mono- |1 |

|di- |2 |

|tri- |3 |

|tetra- |4 |

|penta- |5 |

|hexa- |6 |

|hepta- |7 |

|octa- |8 |

|nona- |9 |

|deca- |10 |

Chemical Equations

A chemical equation describes what happens in a chemical reaction. The equation identifies the reactants (starting materials) and products (resulting substance), the formulas of the participants, the phases of the participants (solid, liquid, gas), and the amount of each substance. Balancing a chemical equation refers to establishing the mathematical relationship between the quantity of reactants and products. The quantities are expressed as grams or moles.

It takes practice to be able to write balanced equations. There are essentially two steps to the process:

Step 1 - Write the unbalanced equation.

Chemical formulas of reactants are listed on the lefthand side of the equation.

Products are listed on the righthand side of the equation.

Reactants and products are separated by putting an arrow between them to show the direction of the reaction. Reactions at equilibrium will have arrows facing both directions.

Step 2 - Balance the equation.

Apply the Law of Conservation of Mass to get the same number of atoms of every element on each side of the equation. Tip: Start by balancing an element that appears in only one reactant and product.

Once one element is balanced, proceed to balance another, and another, until all elements are balanced.

Balance chemical formulas by placing coefficients in front of them. Do not add subscripts, because this will change the formulas.

Classify Chemical Reactions

  Chemists have identified millions of different compounds, so there must be millions of different chemical reactions to form them.  When scientists are confronted with an overwhelming number of things, they tend to classify them into groups, in order to make them easier to study and understand.   One popular classification scheme for chemical reactions breaks them up into five major categories or types.  Some of these types have been given more than one name, so you need to learn them all.  Even if your teacher prefers one name over another, you need to recognize each name, as you may encounter different names in different places.

Types of Chemical Reactions:

1.  Synthesis (also called Direct Combination) - A synthesis reaction involves two or more substances combining to make a more complex substance.  The reactants may be elements or compounds, and the product will always be a compound.  The general formula for this type of reaction can be shown as;

A            +             B                 ---->                 AB

or

element or compound + element or compound -----> compound

Some examples of synthesis reactions are shown below;

2H2(g) + O2(g) ----> 2H2O(g)

C(s) + O2(g) ----> CO2(g)

CaO(s) + H2O(l) ----> Ca(OH)2(s)

[pic]

2.  Decomposition (also called Analysis) - In a decomposition reaction, one substance is broken down into two or more, simpler substances.  This type of reaction is the opposite of a synthesis reaction, as shown by the general formula below;

AB       ---->      A       +      B

or

Compound ------> element or compound + element or compound

Some examples of decomposition reactions are shown below;

C12H22O11(s) ----> 12C(s) + 11H2O(g)

Pb(OH)2(cr) ----> PbO(cr) + H2O(g)

2Ag2O(cr) ----> 4Ag(cr) + O2(g)

[pic]

3.  Single Displacement (also called Single Replacement) - In this type of reaction, a neutral element becomes an ion as it replaces another ion in a compound.   The general form of this equation can be written as;

In the case of a positive ion being replaced:  A + BC ----> B + AC

or

In the case of a negative ion being replaced:  A + BC ----> C + BA

in either case we have;

element + compound ----> element + compound

Some examples of single displacement reactions are shown below:

Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) ----> ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)

2Al(s) + 3CuCl2(aq) ---> 2AlCl3(aq) + 3Cu(s)

Cl2(g) + KBr(aq) ----> KCl(aq) + Br2(l)

[pic]

4.  Double Displacement (also called Double Replacement) - Like dancing couples, the compounds in this type of reaction exchange partners.  The basic form for this type of reaction is shown below;

AB + CD ----> CB + AD

or

Compound + Compound ----> Compound + Compound

Some examples of double displacement reactions are shown below;

AgNO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) ----> AgCl(s) + NaNO3(aq)

ZnBr2(aq) + 2AgNO3(aq) ----> Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2AgBr(cr)

H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) ----> Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

[pic]

5.  Combustion - When organic compounds like propane are burned, they react with the oxygen in the air to form carbon dioxide and water.  The reason why these combustion reactions will stop when all available oxygen is used up is because oxygen is one of the reactants.  The basic form of the combustion reaction is shown below;

hydrocarbon + oxygen ----> carbon dioxide and water

Some examples of combustion reactions are;

CH4(g) + 2O2(g) ----> 2H2O(g) + CO2(g)

2C2H6(g) + 7O2(g) ----> 6H20(g) + 4CO2(g)

C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) ----> 4H2O(g) + 3CO2(g)

Solutions

It is important to distinguish between three closely related terms solute, solvent, and solution.

|Solute – The substance that dissolves to form a solution |

|Solvent – The substance in which a solute dissolves |

|Solution – A mixture of one or more solutes dissolved in a solvent |

Properties of Solutions

A solution is a homogenous mixture of two or more substances that exist in a single phase. There are two main parts to any solution. The solute is the component of a solution that is dissolved in the solvent; it is usually present in a smaller amount than the solvent. The solvent is the component into which the solute is dissolved, and it is usually present in greater concentration. For example, in a solution of salt water, salt is the solute and water is the solvent. In solutions where water is the solvent, the solution is referred to as an aqueous solution.

A solution does not have to involve liquids. For instance, air is a solution that consists of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other trace gases, and solder is a solution of lead and tin. The general rule of thumb for solutions is the idea that like dissolves like. Polar, ionic substances are soluble in polar solvents, while nonpolar solutes are soluble in nonpolar solvents. For example, alcohol and water, which are both polar, can form a solution and iodine and carbon tetrachloride, which are both nonpolar, make a solution. However, iodine will not readily dissolve in polar water.

Acids and Bases

I. Acids

*Acids are ionic compounds ( a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form a hydrogen ion (H+).

*The strength of an acid is based on the concentration of H+ ions in the solution. The more H+ the stronger the acid.

Example: HCl (Hydrochloric acid) in water

Characteristics of Acids:

**Acids taste sour

**Acids react strongly with metals (Zn + HCl)

**Strong Acids are dangerous and can burn your skin

Examples of Acids:

1. Vinegar 3. Citrus Fruits

2. Stomach Acid (HCl)

II. Bases

*Bases are ionic compounds that break apart to form a negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH-) in water.

*The strength of a base is determined by the concentration of Hydroxide ions (OH-). The greater the concentration of OH- ions the stronger the base.

Example: NaOH (Sodium Hydroxide-a strong base) in water

**Solutions containig bases are often called alkaline.

Characteristics of Bases:

**Bases taste bitter

**Bases feel slippery

**Strong bases are very dangerous and can burn your skin

Examples:

1. lye (Sodium Hydroxide)

2. Ammonia

III. Neutralization Reactions

** When acids and bases are added to each other they react to neutralize each other if an equal number of hydrogen and hydroxide ions are present.

When this reaction occurs -salt and water are formed.

HCl + NaOH[pic]NaCl + H2O

(Acid) (Base)---(Salt) (Water)

What are some useful applications of this reaction?

IV. pH Scale and Indicators

**The strength of an acid or base in a solution is measured on a scale called a pH scale.

**The pH scale is a measure of the hydrogen ion concentration. It spans from 0 to 14 with the middle point (pH 7) being neutral (neither acidic or basic).

Any pH number greater than 7 is considered a base and any pH number less than 7 is considered an acid. 0 is the strongest acid and 14 is the strongest base.

Indicators-- An indicator is a special type of compound that changes color as the pH of a solution changes, thus telling us the pH of the solution.

pH Scale

Acidic and basic are two extremes that describe a chemical property chemicals. Mixing acids and bases can cancel out or neutralize their extreme effects. A substance that is neither acidic nor basic is neutral.

The pH scale measures how acidic or basic a substance is. The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14. A pH of 7 is neutral. A pH less than 7 is acidic. A pH greater than 7 is basic.

Pure water is neutral. But when chemicals are mixed with water, the mixture can become either acidic or basic. Examples of acidic substances are vinegar and lemon juice. Lye, milk of magnesia, and ammonia are examples of basic substances.
