Atom (2)
-Building blocks of matter
Made of 3 types of particles1. Protons in nucleus (+ charge)2. Neutrons in nucleus (neutral charge)3. Electrons around nucleus (negative charge)
Proton (2)
Has positive charge combines with neutron to make most of atomic mass
Solution
Homogeneous mixture of 2 or more substances
Solute
The substance being dissolved (usually a solid)
Solvent
The substance doing the dissolving (usually a liquid)
Molarity (aka)note Formula
# moles of solute in one Litre of a solution
(aka M)
note: the volume must always be in liters when calculating molarity
# moles of solute in one Litre of a solution(aka M)note: the volume must always be in liters when calculating molarityOR: OR: # moles of solute in one Litre of a solution(aka M)note: the volume must always be in liters when calculating molarityOR:
Why is temperature important to consider when calculating volume of a solution?
The volume of a solution may be affected by temp. changes. if temp changes the volume might change too.
When 2 solutions mix, the volumes may not be ________. Give an example of what ____ means.
Additive. i.e. while mixing two 50mL solutions, the final solution might not be a total of 100mL
Dilution When diluting a solution, the number of moles of the solvent DOES/DOESN'T change. Formula
The process of reducing concentration of a solution either by adding a solute or another solvent. The # moles of the solvent DOES NOT change when diluting a substance(as long as a reaction doesn't take place) The process of reducing concentration of a solution either by adding a solute or another solvent. The # moles of the solvent DOES NOT change when diluting a substance(as long as a reaction doesn't take place)
Density Formula
The mass of a unit of volume of the solution The mass of a unit of volume of the solution
Parts per Million

Formula

VS

Parts per Billion
Ppm- The ratio of mass of a solute to the mass of solution expressed in the same units and multiplied by 106


ppm- The ratio of mass of a solute to the mass of solution expressed in the same units and multiplied by 106ppb- The ratio of mass of a solute to the mass of solution expressed in the same units and multiplied by 109
ppb- The ratio of mass of a solute to the mass of solution expressed in the same units and multiplied by 109
What is the molarity of 350 mL solution which contains 25.00g CuSO4?
What are the steps to solve this question? (3)
1. Find the MM of CuSO4
MM=249.17 g mol -1

2. calculate n (number of moles per CuSO4)
1. Find the MM of CuSO4     MM=249.17 g mol -12. calculate n (number of moles per CuSO4)       3. Now answer the question by calculating the molarity of the solution:

A solution of HCl has a concentration of 1.258 mol/L. What volume of this solution contains .258 mol of HCl?
Therefore 205 mL of solution contains .258 mol HCl

Therefore 205 mL of solution contains .258 mol HCl
A useful relation when comparing between the molarities of the starting and diluted solutions ca be:

note:
note: this expression explains the fact that the amount of solute before and after dilution with a solvent (or another nonreactive substance) is the same
