Mass Ratios & Law of Multiple Proportions Miss Fogg Fall 2015
2
Mass Ratios Atomic mass = mass of an atom measured in amu (atomic mass units) Mass of oxygen = 15.999 16.00amu Mass of hydrogen = 1.008 1.01amu
3
Mass ratios Mass of element X : Mass of element Y How to calculate mass ratios: ◦ 1) Find the mass of each element ◦ 2) Divide each elemental mass by the smallest element mass ◦ 3) Express as ratio and round
4
Example: H 2 O Find the ratio of oxygen to hydrogen in H 2 O ◦ 1) Find the mass of each element O: 16.00amu x 1 atom = 16.00amu H: 1.01amu x 2 atom =2.02amu
5
Find the ratio O : H ◦ 2) Divide each elemental mass by the smallest element mass O: 16.00amu ÷ 2.02 = 8.0 H: 2.02amu ÷ 2.02 = 1.0 Example: H 2 O
6
Find the ratio O : H ◦ 3) Express as ratio and round O: 8.0 8 H: 1.0 1 (Law of definite proportions) In H 2 O, oxygen and hydrogen always have a ratio of “16 to 2” or “8 to 1” by mass 8 : 1 Example: H 2 O
7
Example: KCl KCl always contains one atom of K for every one atom of Cl Find the ratio K : Cl ◦ 1) Find the mass of each element K: 39.10amu x 1 atom = 39.10amu Cl: 35.45amu x 1 atom =35.45amu
8
Example: KCl Find the ratio K : Cl ◦ 2) Divide each elemental mass by the smallest element mass K: 39.10amu ÷ 35.45 = 1.103 Cl: 35.45amu ÷ 35.45= 1.000
9
Example: KCl Find the ratio K : Cl ◦ 3) Express as ratio and round K: 1.103 1.1 Cl: 1.000 1 (Law of definite proportions) In KCl, potassium and chlorine always have a ratio of “39.09 to 35.45” or “1.1 to 1” by mass. 1.1 : 1
10
Law of Multiple Proportions Dalton’s Law (1804): When 2 elements form different compounds, the mass ratio of the elements in one compound is related to the mass ratio in the other by a small whole number
