SCIENTIFIC MEASUREMENT CHEM IH: CHAPTER 3
2
Stating a Measurement In every measurement there is a Number followed by a Unit from a measuring device The number should also be as precise as the measuring device.
3
Ex: Reading a Meterstick. l 2.... I.... I 3....I.... I 4.. cm First digit (known)= 2 2.?? cm Second digit (known)= 0.7 2.7? cm Third digit (estimated) between 0.05- 0.07 Length reported=2.75 cm or2.74 cm or2.74 cm or2.76 cm
4
UNITS OF MEASUREMENT Use SI units — based on the metric system LengthMassVolumeTimeTemperature Meter, m Kilogram, kg Seconds, s Celsius degrees, ˚C kelvins, K Liter, L
5
Metric Prefixes
6
Conversion Factors Fractions in which the numerator and denominator are EQUAL quantities expressed in different units Example: 1 hr. = 60 min Factors: 1 hr. and 60 min 60 min 1 hr.
7
How many minutes are in 2.5 hours ? Conversion factor 2.5 hr x 60 min = 150 min 1 hr 1 hr cancel By using dimensional analysis / factor-label method, the UNITS ensure that you have the conversion right side up, and the UNITS are calculated as well as the numbers!

MEASURING MASS A moleis a quantity of things, just as… 1 dozen= 12 things 1 gross = 144 things 1 mole= 6.02 x 10 23 things “Things” usually measured in moles are atoms, molecules, ions, and formula units
25
You can measure mass, or volume, or you can count pieces We measure mass in grams We measure volume in liters We count pieces in MOLES
26
A MOLE… is an amount, defined as the number of carbon atoms in exactly 12 grams of carbon- 12 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23 of the representative particles Treat it like a very large dozen 6.02 x 10 23 is called: Avogadro’s number
27
Similar Words for an amount: Pair: 1 pair of shoelaces = 2 shoelaces Dozen: 1 dozen oranges = 12 oranges Gross: 1 gross of pencils= 144 pencils Ream: 1 ream of paper= 500 sheets of paper
28
What are Representative Particles? The smallest pieces of a substance: 1. For a molecular compound: it is the molecule. 2. For an ionic compound: it is the formula unit (made of ions) 3. For an element: it is the atom Remember the 7 diatomic elements? (made of molecules)
29
How many oxygen atoms in the following? 1. CaCO3 3 atoms of oxygen 2. Al2(SO4)3 12 (4 x 3) atoms of oxygen How many ions in the following? CaCl2 3 total ions (1 Ca2+ ion and 2 Cl1- ions) NaOH 2 total ions (1 Na1+ ion and 1 OH1- ion) Al2(SO4)3 5 total ions (2 Al3+ + 3 SO4 ions)
30
CONVERSION FACTOR MOLES = representative particles x ____________1 mole_____________ 6.02 x 10 23 representative particles
31
EXAMPLES: ATOMS MOLES How many atoms of Al are in 1.5 mol of Al? Conversion: 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23 atoms 1.5 mol of Al6.02 x 10 23 atoms 1 mole = 9.03 x 10 23 atoms of Al
32
EXAMPLES: MOLECULES MOLES How many atoms of H are there in 3 moles of H 2 O? Conversions: 1 mole = 6.02 x 10 23 molecules H 2 O molecule = 2 atoms of Hydrogen 3 moles of H 2 O 6.02 x 10 23 molec 1 mole 2 atoms H 1 H 2 O molecule = 3.612 x 10 24 atoms H
33
MOLAR MASS Determined simply by looking at the periodic chart Molar mass = Atomic Mass Ca 20 40.08 * Thus, 1 mol Ca = 40 g Atomic Mass same as Molar Mass
34
MOLAR MASS To calculate the molar mass of a compound, find the number of grams in each element in one mole of the compound Then add the masses within the compound Example: H 2 O H= 1.01 2 (1.01) + 1 (15.999)= 18.02 O= 15.999
35
SOME PRACTICE PROBLEMS How many atoms of O are in 3.7 mol of O? 2.2 X 10 24 atoms of oxygen How many atoms of P are in 2.3 mol of P? 1.4 x 10 24 atoms of phosphorus How many atoms of Ca are there in 2.5 moles of CaCl 2 ? 1.5 x 10 24 atoms Ca How many atoms of O are there in 1.7 moles of SO 4 ? 4.1 x 10 24 atoms of oxygen
36
Remember!!!! The molar mass of any substance (in grams) equals 1 mole This applies to ALL substance: elements, molecular compounds, ionic compounds Use molar mass to convert between mass and moles Ex: Mass, in grams, of 6 mol of MgCl 2 ? mass of MgCl 2 = 6 mol MgCl 2 92.21 g MgCl 2 1 mol MgCl 2 = 571.26 g MgCl 2
37
VOLUME AND THE MOLE Volume of 1 mol of solid and liquids are not the same But gases are more predictable, under the same physical conditions Avogadro’s hypothesis helps explain: equal volume of gases, at the same temp and pressure contains equal number of particles Volume varies with changes in temperature Ex: helium balloon
38
Gases vary at different temperatures, makes it hard to measure Because of variation use STP Standard Temperature and Pressure Temperature = 0° C Pressure = 1 atm (atmosphere) or 101.3 kPal
39
Standard Temperature Pressure At STP: 1 mole, 6.02 x 10 23 atoms, of any gas has a volume of 22.4 L Called Molar Volume Used to convert between # of moles and vol of a gas @ STP Ex: what is the vol of 1.25 mol of sulfur Vol of S= 1.25 mol S 22.4 L = 28 L 1 mol
40
MOLAR MASS FROM DENSITY Different gases have different densities Density of a gas measured in g/L @ a specific temperature Can use the following formula to solve : grams = grams X 22.4 L mole L 1 mole Ex: Density of gaseous compound containing oxygen and carbon is 1.964 g/ L, what is the molar mass? grams = 1.964 g X 22.4 L then you solve mole 1 L 1 mole= 44.o g/mol
42
Calculating Percent Composition of a Compound Like all percent problems: a part ÷ the whole 1. Find the mass of each of the components (the elements) 2. Next, divide by the total mass of the compound 3. Then X 100 % = percent Formula: % Composition = Mass of element X 100% Mass of compound
43
Example: A compound is formed when 9.03 g of Mg combines completely with 3.48 g of N. What is the percent composition of the compound? 1. First add the 2 mass of the 2 compounds to reach the total mass 9.03 g Mg + 3.48 g N = 12.51 g Mg 3 N 2 1. Find the % of each compound % Mg= 9.03 g Mg X 100% = 72.2 % 12.51 g Mg 3 N 2 % N= 3.48 g N X 100%= 27.8 % 12.51 g Mg 3 N 2
44
% Composition from Chemical Formula Can find the percent composition of a compound using just the molar mass of the compound and the element % mass=mass of the element 1 mol cmpd X100% molar mass of the compound Example: Find the percent of C in CO 2 12.01 g C X 100% = 27.3% C 44.01 g CO 2 Can find O % by subtracting 27.3% from 100%
45
Using % Composition Can use % composition as a conversion factor just like the mole After finding the % comp. of each element in a cmpd. can assume the total compound = 100g Example: C= 27.3% 27.3 g C O= 72.7 % 72.7 g O In 100 g sample of compound there is 27.3 g of C & 72.7 g of O How much C would be contained in 73 g of CO 2 ? 73 g CO 2 27.3 g C= 19.93 g C 100 g CO 2
46
EMPIRICAL FORMULAS Empirical formulas are the lowest WHOLE number ratios of elements contained in a compound
47
REMEMBER… Molecular formulas tells the actual number of of each kind of atom present in a molecule of the compound Ex: H 2 O 2 HO MolecularEmpiricalFormula CO 2 MolecularEmpirical For CO 2 they are the sameFormula
48
Formulas for ionic compounds are ALWAYS empirical (the lowest whole number ratio = can not be reduced) Examples: NaCl MgCl2 Al2(SO4)3 K2CO3 Simplest whole number ratio for NaCl
49
A formula is not just the ratio of atoms, it is also the ratio of moles In 1 mole of CO 2 there is 1 mole of carbon and 2 moles of oxygen In one molecule of CO 2 there is 1 atom of C and 2 atoms of O Formulas for molecular compounds MIGHT be empirical (lowest whole number ratio) Molecular: H 2 O C 6 H 12 O 6 C 12 H 22 O 11 (Correct formula) Empirical: ( Lowest whole H 2 O CH 2 O C 12 H 22 O 11 number ratio)
50
CALCULATING EMPIRICAL We can get a ratio from the percent composition 1. Assume you have a 100 g sample the percentage become grams (75.1% = 75.1 grams) 2. Convert grams to moles 3. Find lowest whole number ratio by dividing each number of moles by the smallest value
51
Example calculations Calculate the empirical formula of a compound composed of 38.67 % C, 16.22 % H, and 45.11 %N Assume 100 g sample, so 38.67 g C x 1 mol C = 12.0 g C 16.22 g H x 1 mol H = 1.0 g H 45.11 g N x 1 mol N = 14.0 g N *Now divide each value by the smallest value 3.22 mole C 3.22 mole N 16.22 mole H
52
…Example 1 The ratio is 3.22 mol C = 1 mol C 3.22 mol N 1 mol N The ratio is 16.22 mol H = 5 mol H 3.22 mol N 1 mol N C 1 H 5 N 1 which is = CH 5 N
53
MORE PRACTICE A compound is 43.64 % P and 56.36 % O What is the empirical formula? PO3 Caffeine is 49.48% C, 5.15% H, 28.87% N and 16.49% O What is its empirical formula? C 4 H 5 N 2 O
54
EMPIRICAL TO MOLECULAR Since the empirical formula is the lowest ratio, the actual molecule would weigh more Divide the actual molar mass by the empirical formula mass – you get a whole number to increase each coefficient in the empirical formula
55
EXAMPLE Caffeine has a molar mass of 194 g, what is its molecular formula? 1. Find the mass of the empirical formula, C 4 H 5 N 2 O 2. Divide the molar mass by the empirical mass: 194.0 g/mol = 97.1 g/mol 3. Now multiply the entire empirical formula by 2 2(C 4 H 5 N 2 O) = final molecular formula 2 C 8 H 10 N 4 O 2
