Chapter 3: Matter— Properties and Change Table of Contents Chapter 3: Matter— Properties and Change Laws of definite and multiple proportions
Elements in a specific compound always combine the same way. Matter—Properties and Change: Additional Concepts Law of definite proportions: regardless of the amount, a compound is always composed of the same elements in the same proportion by mass. TRANSLATION: Elements in a specific compound always combine the same way. Mass (compound) = Mass (element 1 + element 2 +…) ex) If 2 g hydrogen reacts with 16 g oxygen, what mass H2O would be produced? 2 g H + 16 g O = 20 g H2O
Mass of a compound 134.50 g aspirin 5.72 g copper A sample of aspirin is made up of 6.03 g of hydrogen, 80.70 g of carbon, and 47.77 g of oxygen. What is the overall mass of the aspirin? A 2.89 g sample of sulfur reacts with an unknown amount of copper to form 8.61 g of a black compound. What is the mass of the copper? 134.50 g aspirin 5.72 g copper
Law of Definite Proportions Matter—Properties and Change: Additional Concepts Law of Definite Proportions Percent by mass: The ratio of the mass of each element to the total mass of the compound Percent composition: The percent by mass for each individual element in a compound
Examples 39.34% sodium, 60.66% chlorine A 58.44 g sample of table salt is made up of 22.99 g of sodium and 35.45 g of chlorine. What is the percent by mass of each element in table salt? 2) 22.99 g of sodium reacts with 32.06 g of sulfur and 64.00 g oxygen. What is the percentage composition of the compound? 39.34% sodium, 60.66% chlorine 32.37% sodium, 22.57% sulfur, 45.06% oxygen
Practice Percent by Mass A 134.50-g sample of aspirin is made up of 6.03 g of hydrogen, 80.70 g of carbon, and 47.77 g of oxygen. What is the percent by mass of each element in aspirin? A 2.89-g sample of sulfur reacts with 5.72 g of copper to form a black compound. What is the percentage composition of the compound? 4.48% hydrogen, 60% carbon, 35.52% oxygen 33.6% sulfur, 66.4% copper
Law of Multiple Proportions Matter—Properties and Change: Additional Concepts Law of Multiple Proportions Law of multiple proportions: when different compounds are formed by a combination of the same elements, they combine in different ratios. Ratios compare the relative amounts of any items or substances. EXAMPLE: water (H2O) & hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) H:O 2:1 2:2
