- At a specific pressure and temperature one more of every gas has the same volume
- At 0 degrees celsius and 101.3kPa 1mol = 22.4L
- This Temperature and pressure is called STP
- 22.4L/mol is the molar volume at STP
ex
2.5mol x 22.4L = 56L
1 mol
11.6L x 1 mol = 0.518mol
22.4L
11.5mol x 22.4L = 258L
1 mol
1cc = 1mL
1cm^3 = 1mL

converting from moles to molecules
converting 2 moles of Au
like converting distance:
2 mol x 6.02x10^23
1 mol
the mole's cancel each other out so you get
2 x 6.02x10^23 = 12.01x10^23 = 12.0x10^23
1
you multiply and then convert to significant digits.

Molar Mass (Mass of Atoms)
•The mass (in grams) of 1 mole of a substance is called the molar mass.
•It can be determined from the atomic mass on the periodic table
•Measured in g/mol
*Molar Mass* -The atomic weight of an element expressed in grams is the mass of one mole of the element.
Molar Mass of Compounds
•To determine the molar mass of a compound add the mass of all the atoms together.

Avrogado's Number (How we count atoms)
•Atoms & molecules are extremely small
•Macroscopic objects contain too many to count or weigh individually
•Amedeo Avrogado proposed that the # of atoms 12.00000g of Carbon be equal to a constant (This is equal to 1 mol of Carbon)
•This value is now called Avrogado's Number & froms the basis of all quantitative chemistry.
• Avrogado's Number → 1mol = 6.02x10^23
•One mole is simply a multiple of things, such as:
∟1 pair = 2
∟1 dozen = 12
∟1 century = 100
∟1 mol = 6.02x10^23
•One mole represents a huge # of particles:
Particle
•Atoms Element 6.02x10^23 Fe
1 mol
•Molecules Covalent Compound 6.02x10^23 CO2
1 mol
•Formula Unit Ionic Compound 6.02x10^23 NaCl

Chem Lab
in lab we did we had to pick a hydrate and follow the steps
1) we had to weight the empty dry test tube
2) we had to weight the test tube with the hydrate in it
3) we had to light the bunsen burner
4) we had to boil all the water out of the hydrate
5) once we boiled all the water out we had to weigh the hydrate again
6) we calculated how much grams of water was boiled off and how much percent of water the hydrate was
7) we had to calculate our percent error for the percentage of water boiled off

Bohr's Diagrams
Bohr (1920)
-Rutherford'd model was inherently unstable
- Protons & electrons should attract eachother
- Matter emits light when it is heated (blackbody radiation)
- Light travels as photons
- the energy photons carry depends on their wavelength
Separate the white light into colours with a diffraction granting or prism
Each line represents a photon of light emitted from the excited atom
These are unique sets of lines for each element
-Bohr based his model on the energy (light) emitted by different atoms
- Each atom has a specific spectrum of light
Examples of different atom spectrums of light:
Bohr's theory
- Electrons exist in orbitals
- When they absorb energy they move to a higher orbital
- As they fall from a higher orbital to a lower one they release energy as a photon of light

Density & Graphing
Density
- The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume
- d=m/v
- Usually expressed in : kg/L, kg/m^3, kg/m^2
- Examples : d= 135kg / 65L = 2.1kg/L
d= 54kg / 27m^3 = 2kg/m^3
d= 1200kg / 51m^2 =24kg/m^2
Graphing
*All graphs must contain 5 important things*
1) Labelled Axis
2) Appropriate Scale
3) Title
4) Data Points
5) Line of Best Fit
Example of proper graph :
- Three things can be done when working with graphs

When multiplying and dividing:
-round your answer to the lowest number of S.D in the initial numbers
When adding and subtracting:
-round to the lowest decimal place from the original numbers
Scientific Notation
When writing in scientific notation, numbers split into 2 parts:
-Number btwn. 1→10
-Power of ten

Measurement and Error
SI Unit Prefixes, Multiples, and Symbols:
SI Base Units:
Base unit: A fundamental unit that is defined arbitrarily and not by combinations of other units. The base units of the SI system are the meter, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, and candela.
Derived Units:
Derived Unit: combinations of base units used to measure area, volume, force, pressure, energy, power, voltage, frequency, and electric current.
Error
- Error is a fundamental part of science
- There are usually 3 reasons for error
- Physical errors in the measuring device
- "sloppy" measuring
- Changing factors
- 2 ways to calculate Error
- Absolute Error
- Formula : Absolute Error = Measured Value - Accepted Value
- Percent Error

Classification of Chemicals
Understanding matter begins w/ how we name it. We can divide matter into 2 types:
-Homogeneous: Consists of only one visible compound
-ex: distilled water, oxygen, graphite
-Heterogeneous: Contains more than one visible component
-ex: chocolate chip cookie, granite
Pure Substances
There are 2 types of Pure Substances:
-Elements: Substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical reactions
-ex: oxygen, iron, magnesium
-Compounds: Substances that are made up of 2/more elements and can be changed into elements (or other compounds) by chemical reactions
-water(H2O), sugar(C12H22O11)
H2O + energy → (H2) + (O2)
∟ compounds split apart(by adding energy)
Telling the Difference
To identify an element or compound, the difference is only "visible" on the atomic level
One method is to connect the substance to an electric current.
-(Electrolysis) can split the compound apart into its constituent elements
Solution
A solution is a homogeneous mixture of 2/more substances
-Usually involve liquids (not always, like fog & steel)
The component present in greater amount is the solvent
-Water is most common solvent
-The symbol (aq) is used when something is dissolved
The component present in smaller amount is the solute
Mixtures
Mixtures can be easily identified, or can be confused as pure substances
-Heterogeneous mixtures, different parts clearly visible (granite, sand fog)
-Homogeneous mixtures, different parts aren't visible (salt water, air, brass)
Separating Mixtures
Many methods to separate mixtures, depending on type:
-By hand
-Filtration*
-Distillation*
-Crystallization
-Chromatography
^All physical changes
*Heterogeneous mixtures only

Physical & Chemical Changes
Matter can undergo many changes
3 Categories
- Physical Changes
- Chemical Changes
- Nuclear Changes
Physical Changes
- Involves changing shape or state of matter
- ex. crushing, tearing, ect....
- No new substances are formed
- ex. boiling water, cutting wood, smashing cars, etc..
Phase Changets
- Changing from a solid to a gas can often be confused as a chemical change
- chemicals remain the same
During the melting process chemicals usually follow this path
Chemical Change
- New substances are form
-Properties of the matter change
-conductivity, acidity, colour, etc..
-ex. iron rusting, burning wood, digesting food
Changes in Physical State
- Solid to Gas = Sublimation
- Solid to Liquid = Melting
- Liquid to Solid = Solidification / Freezing
- Liquid to Gas = Evaporation
- Gas to Liquid = Condensation
- Gas to Solid = Deposition / Sublimation

Blancing and Word Equations
*Phase symbols are subscripts that indicate the phase of the chemical.
ex. Al(s), H2O(l), H2(g), AgNO3(aq)
*Diatomic Molecules
Example of a Word Equation to a Balanced Equation
Word Equation : "a solution of barium phosphate is mixed with aqueous sodium sulphate to yield solid barium sulphate and aqueous sodium phosphate"
Balanced Equation: Ba3(PO4)2(aq) + 3Na2SO4(aq) ---> 3BaSO4(s) + 2Na3PO4(aq)
ex. Al(s), H2O(l), H2(g), AgNO3(aq)
- (s) -----> Solid
- (l) ------> Liquid
- (g)-----> Gas
- (aq)----> Aqueous
*Diatomic Molecules
- H2 Hydrogen *Polyatomic Molecules*
- O2 Oxygen - P4 Phosphorus
- F2 Fluorine - S8 Sulphur
- Br2 Bromine
- I2 Iodine
- N2 Nitrogen
- Cl2 Chlorine
Example of a Word Equation to a Balanced Equation

Balanced Equation: Ba3(PO4)2(aq) + 3Na2SO4(aq) ---> 3BaSO4(s) + 2Na3PO4(aq)

Safety Rules in a Lab
1) Work "only" under teacher supervision
2) Follow your Teacher's directions
3) Read all instructions and procedures
4) Notify your Teacher of any problems
5) Know how to use the Safety Equipment and materials in the Laboratory
6)Wear approved Safety Goggles and Lab coat
7)Wear proper shoes (no open toes)
8) Tie your hair back if you have long hair
9) Don't leave any unnecessary things out in the open, place them under a table (ex: bags)
16) Throw away any broken glass
17) If on fire or any chemicals get on you, make sure you know how to use the shower head/ eye wash
18) Read chemical labels on glass
19)Don't taste anything
20) Food, drinks, and gum are prohibited
21) Do not look directly at test tubes
22) Don't directly smell chemicals, waft a small scent only
23) Clean up Afterward

11)"If it's Hot, Let it Cool"
12)Carry chemicals with extreme caution
13) No fooling around! (especially during experiments)
14)Dispose of chemical wastes properly
15) Make sure all equipment used during a lab is safe and "usable"16) Throw away any broken glass
