GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1 – 2nd Quarter Reviewer Mole - It is the measuring quantities of very small
entities such as atoms, molecules, or other specified
Balancing Chemical Equation particles.
Molecule - It is a group of two or more atoms held
The purpose of balancing chemical equations is to together by attractive forces known as chemical make both sides of the reaction, the reactants and bonds. the products, equal in the number of atoms per element. This is achieved by changing the Conversion: coefficients of the compounds. Balancing chemical Mole-Mole equations is important because it gives a more Mole of Given x Mole of Unknown = Answer (Mole) accurate representation of what's happening in a Mole Ratio of Known/Given reaction, and the accuracy of the ratios of moles is important in calculating the theoretical yield and how Mole-Mass much stuff is reacting mass-wise. Mole of Given x Mole Ratioof Unknown = Mole of Unknown Chemical Equation – describes a chemical change, Mole Ratio of Known/Given a representation of a chemical reaction. Mole of Unknown x Molar Mass of Unknown = Answer (g) Constant Mole Mass of Given x Contant Mole x Mole Ratio x Molar Mass of Unknown = Answer (g) Molar mass Mole Ratio Constant Mole of Given
GAS LAWS
Boyle’s Law (sometimes referred to as the Boyle-
Mariotte Law) states that the absolute pressure and volume of a given mass of confined gas are inversely Reaction Symbol - The most common “yield” proportional, provided the temperature remains symbol is an arrow that is placed after the reactant or unchanged within a closed system. This can be reactants and points in the direction of the products stated mathematically as follows: as in the following example: A + B → AB. P1V1 = P2V2 **You have notes for the Chemical Reactions** Avogadro's Law states that the volume of a gas is Stoichiometry directly proportional to the number of moles (or number of particles) of gas when the temperature From a balanced chemical equation, you can and pressure are held constant. The mathematical describe a chemical reaction in terms of quantities of expression of Avogadro's Law is: products and reactants. These quantities include the number of molecules, atoms, moles, mass, and V1/n1 = V2/n2 volume of the compounds used as well as each According to Charles’ law, the volume of a gas at element used to make the respective compounds. constant pressure is directly proportional to the absolute temperature. This is shown by the following equation: Stoichiometry - Derived from two Greek words Stoicheion meaning “Element” and Metron meaning V1/T1=V2/T2 “Measure” (mathematically based).
