chapter 6
chemical composition
2
"A ton of things have..."
  • A ton of things have been synthesized; nylon, teflon, kevlar, pvc, nutrasweet…
  • What new things are made of is very important
  • In this chapter we will determine formulas
  • BUT! first we must learn how to count atoms
  • How???
3
6.1 counting by weighing
  • How does one count candy, or pennies, or nails, or M&Ms, or recycled Aluminum cans??? they’re so numerous, and small! help!
  • Count them by weighing
    them! (?)
  • However, we must assume
    that all the “things”
    are 1) Identical OR
    2) They have
    an average weight
  • Since most things
    don’t occur identically, one must take an average of mass of those things…
4
"If you act as if..."
  • If you act as if they are all that average weight, it’s easy:
  • Take how much the whole pile weighs
  • Divide it by the average mass of them
  • ba-da-bing! you know how many there are!
  • we do the same thing with tiny invisible atoms; we count by weighing!
5
6.2 Atomic masses:
counting atoms by weighing
  • OK, now we move to atoms
  • Chemistry is wants to  find out how many of these are needed to react with a certain number of those to get so many of these
  • meaning: Numbers of things are Super -important
  • time for thinking cap!


6
"The mass of an atom..."
  • The mass of an atom is unbelievably small (e.g. a C atom weighs 1.99 x 10-23 g)
  • So kg and g are out!
  • We need a new unit small enough to deal with these tiny guys reasonably
  • Chemists use the atomic mass unit (amu)
  • 1 amu = 1.66 X 10-24 g
  • atoms will weigh so many amu’s
  • now back to atoms and counting by weighing…
7
"Remember isotopes?"
  • Remember isotopes? not all atoms are the same?!
  • Carbon exists as:
  •     C-12, C-13, and C-14
  • They occur in different types, but altogether they can give us an average mass
  • The average atomic mass for carbon on this planet is 12.01 amu (all the rest are listed on the Periodic Table)
  • Let’s act, for the rest of chemistry, as if atoms have this one mass, the one listed on the Periodic Table


8
Examples
  • what is the mass, in amu, of 75 Al atoms?
    (1 Al = 26.98 amu)
9
More Examples
  • how many atoms are in 1172.49 amu of Na atoms? (1 Na = 22.99 amu)
10
6.3 The mole
  • Up to this point we’ve used submicroscopic amounts of stuff
  • What about realistic amounts??? ready?
  • How about making it easy for everyone?…


11
"How about we pick the..."
  • How about we pick the number of atoms which will change amu’s to grams?
  • What number will take…
    12.01 amu C -> 12.01 g C
    26.98 amu Al -> 26.98 g Al
    63.55 amu Cu -> 63.55 g
  • Just one number, Avogadro’s number, the number all chemists throughout the world use every day of their miserable lives, the one, the only..
12
"The mole 6.022 x 1023"
  • The mole 6.022 x 1023
13
"1 dozen = 12
1..."
  • 1 dozen = 12
    1 ream = 500
    1 pair = 2
    1 gross = 144
    1 mol = 6.022 x 1023
  • Counting this number would take 2000 trillion years; a mole of sand could cover LA in 600 meters of sand; a mole of marbles would cover Earth in 50 miles of marbles; but!
    a mole of water you can cup in one hand!
  • An element that weighs as much as the number of grams listed on the PeriodicTable has a mol, 6.022 x 1023, atoms in it
14
"Now we can count atoms..."
  • Now we can count atoms just by knowing:
    1. how much we have (g) and
  •     2. The number on the Periodic Table which now represents a mol of stuff in grams
  • more than the molar mass means > 1 mol of stuff
  • less than the molar mass means < 1 mol of stuff
  • let’s start off easy…
15
Example (atoms-mol)
  • How many atoms in 2.2 mol C?
16
Examples (g-mol)
  • 26 g C = ? mol
17
Examples (g-mol-atoms)
  • 25.0 g Ca = ? mol = ? atoms
18
Examples (g-mol-atoms)
  • 5.00x 1020 Cr atoms = ? mol = ? g
19
6.4 molar mass
  • We dig further into the molar mass thing, and…
  • converting moles into mass (visa versa) for compounds now
  • see next the relationship between micro and macro
20
 
21
"Do you want to find..."
  • Do you want to find the molar mass of methane? (yes!)
  • Just add up the little guys in the compound!
  • for methane that would be:
    12.01 (C) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H) + 1.01(H)
  • = 16.05 g/mol
  • = molar mass
  • Just like before: get me a mass of 16.05 g of methane and you’ve given me a mol of it
22
examples
  • what is the molar mass of sulfur dioxide?
    (this is why you need to remember names/formulae)
  • sulfur dioxide is SO2
  • a mol of SO2 has 1 mol S and 2 mol O
  • = (1 x 32.07) + (2 x 16.00)
  • = 64.07 g/mol
23
examples
  • what is the molar mass of:
  • water?
  • H2O = 18.02 g/mol
  • ammonia?
  • NH3 = 17.03 g/mol
  • propane, C3H8?
  • = 44.09 g/mol
  • glucose, C6H12O6?
  • = 180.2 g/mol
24
examples
  • can do the same with
    ionic compounds!
  • what is molar mass of:
  • calcium sulfate?
  • CaSO4 = 136.3 g/mol
  • sodium carbonate?
  • Na2CO3 = 106.0 g/mol
  • barium hydroxide?
  • Ba(OH)2 = 171.3 g/mol
25
examples (mol to mass)
  • calculate molar mass of calcium carbonate
    what is the mass of 4.86 mol of this stuff?
  • molar mass CaCO3 = 100.09 g/mol
26
examples (mass to mol)
  • calculate molar mass of juglone (C10H6O3)
    what is the mol of 1.56 g of this stuff?
  • molar mass C10H6O3 = 174.1 g/mol
27
examples (mass to molecules)
  • how many molecules of Teflon (C2F4) are in a 135-g sample? (hint: do you expect a little or gigantic answer?)
  • think! g --> mol --> molecules
  • you’ll need molar mass C2F4 = 100.02 g/mol
28
6.5 percent composition of compounds
  • which score is better? 28/50 or 32/75?
  • percent can answer the question
  • percent  is merely taking a part and dividing by total (then multiplying by 100)
  • same with % comp…
  • take mass contributed by one element and divide by total mass of cmpd (x 100)
29
"Can you tell the %..."
  • Can you tell the % composition just from looking at a formula?
    e.g. is SO2 33% S and 67% O?
  • NO! % composition is a gram ratio thing not a mole ratio thing!!!
  • so first change the mole in the formula to grams, then find %…
30
example
  • What is the % composition of SO2?
  • SO2 weighs in at 64.07 g/mol
  • S contributes 32.07 of it, oxygen 2 x 16.00
  • %S = (32.07/64.07) • 100 = 50.05%
  • %O = (32.00/64.07) • 100 = 49.94%
31
example
  • What is the % composition of C10H14O?
  • C10H14O weighs in at 150.2 g/mol
  • C contributes 120.1 of it, H gives it 14.11, and O 16.00
  • %C = (120.1/150.2) • 100 = 79.96%
  • %H = (14.11/150.2) • 100 = 9.394%
  • %O = (16.00/150.2) • 100 = 10.65%
32
example
  • you have:
    a 36-g sample = 28 g Fe, 8 g O
    a 160-g sample = 112 g Fe, 48 g O
  • are they the same substance?
  • CAN’T TELL FROM JUST LOOKING AT GRAMS!!!!
  • BUT, if they have the same % comp… ta da!
33
"for the 36-g sample =..."
  • for the 36-g sample = 28 g Fe
  • (28 g Fe / 36 g total ) • 100 = 78% Fe
  • for the 160-g sample = 112 g Fe
  •  (112 g Fe / 160 g total ) • 100 = 70% Fe
  • Not the same!
34
example
  • #1: 45.0-g sample = 35.1 g Fe, 9.9 g O
  • #2: 215.0-g sample = 167.7 g Fe, 47.3 g O
  • are they the same?
  • (35.1 g Fe / 45.0 g total ) • 100 = 78% Fe
  • (167.7 g Fe / 215.0 g total ) • 100 = 78% Fe
  • they are the same!
  • (the oxygen percents will be the same, too)


35
example
  • #1: 75.0-g sample = 20.5 g C, 54.5 g O
  • #2: 135.0-g sample = 67.5 g C, 90.0 g O
  • are they the same?
  • (20.5 g C / 75.0 g total ) • 100 = 27.3% C
  • (67.5g C / 135.0 g total ) • 100 = 50.0% C
  • they are not the same!


36
6.6 Formulas of compounds
6.7 Calculation of empirical formulas
  •  smallest whole number ratio of a cmpd is empirical formula
  • C6H6 : simplest formula = CH
  • C6H12 : simplest formula = CH2
  • C3H8 : simplest formula = C3H8
  • C6H12O6 : simplest formula = CH2O
37
"to determine the empirical formula..."
  • to determine the empirical formula you must find MOLE RATIOS of elements in a compound!!!
  • the easy way?
  • just change % è g è mol
38
example
  • 36-g iron oxide sample is 78% iron. What is the emperical form? (remember: think moles)
  • 78% Fe è 78g Fe
  • 22% O è 22g O
  • 78g Fe è1.4 mol Fe
  • 22g O è 1.4 mol O
  • 1.4 mol Fe : 1.4 mol O is a 1:1 mol ratio
  • Therefore, FeO
39
example
  • 27-g sulfur oxide sample has 50% S. What is the emp form?
  • 50% S è 50g S
  • 50% O è 50g O
  • 50g S è 1.56 mol S
  • 50g O è 3.12 mol O
  • 1.56 mol S : 3.12 mol O is a 1:2 mol ratio
  • Therefore, SO2
40
"If the ratio isn’t obvious"
  • If the ratio isn’t obvious, divide mol of each substance by the smallest number…(See Page 178)
  • e.g. what if the ratio ends up being something weird like 0.195 Fe:0.291 O ???
  • 0.195 / 0.195 = 1
  • 0.291 / 0.195 = 1.5
  • This is a 1:1.5 ratio which is really 2:3
  • therefore Fe2O3
41
example
  • 18.94 g Al reacts with O to make 35.74  g aluminum oxide. what is the empirical formula? (note: where is g O?)
  • 18.94 g Al è 0.701 mol Al
  • 16.80 g O è 1.05 mol O
  • 0.701 / 0.701 = 1 Al
  • 1.05 / 0.701 = 1.5 O
  • This is a 2:3 ratio, therefore Al2O3
42
6.8 calculation of molecular formulas
  • molecular formula is the real formula
  • = a multiple of emp form
  • molecular form = empirical form  • n
  • n = molecular mass / empirical mass
43
example
  • The empirical formula for a cmpd is P2O5.  The molecular mass is 283.88 g/mol. What is the molecular formula?
  • emp mass = 141.94 g/mol
  • divide 283.88 / 141.94 = 2
  • so, “multiply” P2O5 by two to get P4O10
44
big person example
  • In a 32.0-g sample of hydrazine, there are 28.0 g N and 4.0 g H. The molar mass is 32.0 g/mol. What is the molecular formula?
  • 1) find emp formula
    • 28.0 g N è 2.0 mol N
    • 4.0 g H è 4.0 mol H
    • Emp formula = NH2
  • 2) find molar mass ratios
    • molar mass (32.0) / emp mass ( 16.0) = 2
  • 3) multiply by 2 to get formula = N2H4
45
big person example 2
  • An additive for gasoline is 71.65% Cl, 24.27% C, 4.07% H. The molar mass is 98.96 g/mol. What is the molecular formula?
  • 1) find emp formula
    • 71.65 % Cl è 71.65 g Cl è 2.021 mol Cl
    • 24.27 % C è 24.27 g C è 2.021 mol C
    • 4.07 % H è 4.07 g H è 4.04 mol H
    • Emp formula = ClCH2
  • 2) find molar mass ratios
    • molar mass (98.96) / emp mass (49.48) = 2
  • 3) multiply by 2 to get formula = Cl2C2H4
