CHEM1201 Lecture Notes - Lecture 2: Ammonium Chloride, Atomic Mass, Transition Metal

36 views1 pages
Which atom goes first in the formula?
The atom or group of atoms that is the positive part of the atom
E.g. potassium sulphate K2SO4, potassium sulphide K2S
(Eds i ate – has oxygen in it)
What if the proportions are different?
NH3
- Ammonia, neutral
NH4+
- Ammonium ion, one more positive charge than negative charge, not neutral
- Doest exist o its o
- Can combine with something else to make a neutral compound
- E.g. ammonium chloride NH4Cl, ammonium carbonate (NH4)2CO3
Valencies
- Transition elements can commonly exhibit more than one valency or stable ion
o Fe2+ and Fe3+
Measurement and chemicals
- When two substances react together we need to know:
o How many atoms of each have reacted
o Establish a formula
- Quantity for counting atoms:
o Mole
1 mole = 6.022 x 1023 (of whatever we are measuring)
Aogadros uber (NA) = 6.022 x 1023 per mole
Cant directly measure the mass of one atom
Atomic mass is the average mass of one mole of atoms of a given
element
E.g. if we have 55.85 g of iron, we have 1.0 mole of iron
560 g of Fe, 10 mol
78 g? 1.4 mol

Document Summary

The atom or group of atoms that is the positive part of the atom. E. g. potassium sulphate k2so4, potassium sulphide k2s (e(cid:374)ds i(cid:374) (cid:858)ate(cid:859) has oxygen in it) Ammonium ion, one more positive charge than negative charge, not neutral. Can combine with something else to make a neutral compound. E. g. ammonium chloride nh4cl, ammonium carbonate (nh4)2co3. Transition elements can commonly exhibit more than one valency or stable ion: fe2+ and fe3+ When two substances react together we need to know: how many atoms of each have reacted, establish a formula.
