Mixtures

Heterogeneous mixtures : have one or more visible boundaries between the components. Ex: water and oil

Homogeneous mixtures : have no visible boundaries because the components are mixed as individual atoms, ions, and molecules.Ex: water and dissolved salt.

Solutions : A homogeneous mixture is also called a solution. Solutions in water are called aqueous solutions, and are very important in chemistry. Although we normally think of solutions as liquids, they can exist in all three physical states.

Filtration : Separates components of a mixture based upon differences in particle size. Normally separating a precipitate from a solution, or particles from an air stream.

Crystallization : Separation is based upon differences in solubility of components in a mixture.

Distillation : separation is based upon differences in volatility.

Extraction : Separation is based upon differences in solubility in different solvents (major material).

Chromatography : Separation is based upon differences in solubility in a solvent versus a stationary phase.

If elements A and B react to form two compounds, the different masses of B that combine with a fixed mass of A can be expressed as a ratio of small whole numbers.

Example: There are two “Carbon Oxides,” A & BCarbon Oxide I : 57.1% oxygen and 42.9% carbonCarbon Oxide II : 72.7% oxygen and 27.3% carbon

Assume that you have 100 g of each compound. That means that Oxide I has 57.1 g of oxygen and 42. 9 g of carbon; Oxide II has 72.7 g of oxygen and 27.3 g of carbon.

Dalton’s Atomic Theory (MEMORIZE!) Dalton’s Atomic Theory (MEMORIZE!)

1. All matter consists of atoms.

2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element.

3. Atoms of an element are identical in mass and other properties and are different from atoms of any other element.

4. Compounds result from the chemical combination of a specific ratio of atoms of different elements.

At the beginning of the 20th Century: scientists knew an atom contained both positive and negative particles. One model was “plum pudding” – like raisins in rice pudding.

Rutherford’s experiment showed that an alpha particle (a Helium nucleus with 2 protons and 2 neutrons) aimed at gold foil was deflected almost straight back. NOT WHAT HE EXPECTED: HAD TO REVISE THEIR MODEL!!!

Led to modern nuclear atom model.

Sample Problem 2.4 Determining the Number of Subatomic Particles in the Isotopes of an Element

PROBLEM: Silicon has three naturally occurring isotopes: 28Si, 29Si, and 30Si. Determine the number of protons, neutrons, and electrons in each silicon isotope.

SOLUTION: The atomic number of silicon is 14. Therefore

28Si has 14p+, 14e- and 14n0 (28-14)

29Si has 14p+, 14e- and 15n0 (29-14)

30Si has 14p+, 14e- and 16n0 (30-14)

Now you try these uranium isotopes: 234, 235, 238, and 239.

# neutrons can be different ISOTOPES

# electrons can change IONS

Fig 2.9 is a simple schematic, but the mass spec determines the actual mass of each isotope to many sig figs and its percent abundance, usually to six or more sig figs.

Chart B = the mass charge ratio, which determines the mass to many sig figs (look at fluorine on per table)

Chart C = a count of each isotope which is reported as percent abundance, again to many sig figs

By using a mass spectrometer, an atom’s isotopes can be counted, establishing relative abundance of each isotope and its exact mass. From this data we can calculate a weighted average atomic mass:

Weighted average atomic mass = fract1*mass1 + fract2*mass2 + ...

2-27

We put boron in a mass spectrometer, and find there are just two isotopes, with these results: 19.91% Boron-10 with mass 10.0129 amu and 80.09% Boron-11 mass with11.0093 amu

Average atomic mass = (0.1991 * 10.0129) + (0.8009 * 11.0093)

= 1.994 + 8.817 = 10.811 (sig fig rules)

Do problem 33 for practice on this method. (Magnesium has three naturally occurring isotopes. 24Mg has a mass of 23.9850 amu and 78.99% abundance, 25Mg has a mass of 24.9868 amu and 10.00% abundance, and 26Mg has a mass of 25.9826 amu and 11.01% abundance.)

The Modern Reassessment of the Atomic Theory

1. All matter is composed of atoms. The atom is the smallest body that retains the unique identity of the element.

2. Atoms of one element cannot be converted into atoms of another element in a chemical reaction. Elements can only be converted into other elements in nuclear reactions.

3. All atoms of an element have the same number of protons and electrons, which determines the chemical behavior of the element. Isotopes of an element differ in the number of neutrons, and thus in mass number. A sample of the element is treated as though its atoms have an average mass.

4. Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of two or more elements in specific ratios.

Types of Chemical Formulas

An empirical formula indicates the relative number of atoms of each element in the compound. It is the simplest type of formula.

A molecular formula shows the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.

A structural formula shows the number of atoms and the bonds between them, that is, the relative placement and connections of atoms in the molecule.

A chemical formula is comprised of element symbols and numerical subscripts that show the type and number of each atom present in the smallest unit of the substance.

The empirical formula for hydrogen peroxide is HO.

The molecular formula for hydrogen peroxide is H2O2.

The structural formula for hydrogen peroxide is H-O-O-H.

Naming binary ionic compounds: see rules in your packet

The name of the cation is the same as the name of the metal.

Many metal names end in -ium.

The name of the anion takes the root of the nonmetal name and adds the suffix -ide.

Calcium ion and bromide ion form calcium bromide.

The name of the cation is written first, followed by that of the anion.

2-42

EXAMPLE: Form an ionic compound of Al & Br and then Al & O.

Al forms Al3+ and Br forms Br-, so the ratio will be 1:3 or AlBr3 aluminum bromide.

Again, Al forms Al3+ and O forms O2-, so the ratio will be 2:3 or Al2O3 aluminum oxide.

Special trick called the criss-cross rule: Xa+ & Yb- XbYa but if b=a, reduce formula to 1:1 ratio (unless mercury (I) ion is involved)

Sample Problem 2.9 Determining Names and Formulas of Ionic Compounds of Elements That Form More Than One Ion

SOLUTION:

PROBLEM: Give the systematic names for the formulas or the formulas for the names of the following compounds:

(a) tin(II) fluoride (b) CrI3

(c) Iron (III) oxide (d) CoS

(a) Tin (II) is Sn2+; fluoride is F-; so the formula is SnF2.

(b) The anion I is iodide(I-); 3I- means that Cr(chromium) is +3. CrI3 is chromium(III) iodide

(c) Iron (III) is the name for Fe3+; oxide is O2-, therefore the formula is Fe2O3.

(d) Co is cobalt; the anion S is sulfide(2-) so cobalt must be +2; the compound is cobalt (II) sulfide.

Sample Problem 2.10 Determining Names and Formulas of Ionic Compounds Containing Polyatomic Ions

SOLUTION:

PROBLEM: Give the systematic names or the formula or the formulas for the names of the following compounds:

(a) Fe(ClO4)2(b) sodium sulfite

(a) ClO4- is perchlorate; iron must have a 2+ charge. This is

iron(II) perchlorate.

(b) The anion sulfite is SO32- therefore you need 2 sodiums per

sulfite. The formula is Na2SO3.

(c) Hydroxide is OH- and barium is a 2+ ion. When water is included in the formula, we use the term “hydrate” and a prefix which indicates the number of waters. So it is barium hydroxide octahydrate.

(c) Ba(OH)2 8H2O

Naming Inorganic Acids

1) Binary acid solutions form when certain gaseous compounds dissolve in water. For example, when gaseous hydrogen chloride (HCl) dissolves in water, it forms a solution called hydrochloric acid. Prefix hydro- + anion nonmetal root + suffix -ic + the word acid - hydrochloric acid

Practice naming H2S(aq):

2) Oxoacid names are similar to those of the oxoanions, except for two suffix changes:

Anion “-ate” suffix becomes an “-ic” suffix in the acid. Anion “-ite” suffix becomes an “-ous” suffix in the acid. The oxoanion prefixes “hypo-” and “per-” are retained. Thus,

BrO4-

is perbromate, and HBrO4 is perbromic acid; IO2- is iodite, and

HIO2 is iodous acid.

Practice naming HClO3:

(c) The anion is cyanide; the acid is hydrocyanic acid, HCN.

(d) The anion is sulfate; the acid is sulfuric acid, H2SO4.

(e) The anion is nitrite; the acid is nitrous acid, HNO2.

PROBLEM: Using the data in the periodic table, calculate the molecular (or formula) mass of the following compounds:

PLAN: Write the formula and then multiply the number of atoms(in the subscript) by the respective atomic masses. Add the masses for the compound.

(a) P4S3

molecular mass

= (4x atomic mass of P)

= 220.09 amu

(b) NH4NO3

molecular mass

= (2x atomic mass of N)

+ (4x atomic mass of H)
