Chapter in Context
• The scientific method
• Classify matter
• Physical and chemical properties
• Measurements and SI units
• Error and significant figures
• Using dimensional analysis
• Density defined and how to use it

Dimensional Analysis (1 of 2)
• Also called the Factor Label Method
• Not all calculations use specific equation
• Use units (dimensions) to analyze problem
Conversion Factor
• Fraction formed from valid equality or equivalence
between units
• Used to switch from one system of measurement
and units to another
Given Quantity × Conversion Factor = Desired Quantity

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 3


Conversion Factors
Example: How to convert a person’s height from
68.0 in to cm?
• Start with fact
2.54 cm = 1 in. (exact)
• Dividing both sides by 1 in. or 2.54 cm gives 1
2.54 cm 1 in. 2.54 cm 1 in.
× =1 × =1
1 in. 1 in. 2.54 cm 2.54 cm
• Cancel units
• Leave ratio that equals 1
• Use fact that units behave as numbers do in
mathematical operations
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 4
Dimensional Analysis (2 of 2)
• Now multiply original number by conversion factor
that cancels old units and leaves new
Given Quantity × Conversion Factor = Desired Quantity
2.54cm
68.0 in. × = 173 cm
1 in.
• Dimensional analysis can tell us when we have done
wrong arithmetic
1 in.
68.0 in.× = 26.8 in 2 /cm
2.54 cm
o Units not correct
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 5
Using Dimensional Analysis
Example: Convert 0.097 m to mm.
• Relationship is 1 mm = 1×10-3 m
• Can make two conversion factors
1mm 1×10-3 m
1×10-3 m 1 mm
• Since going from m to mm use one on left.
1mm
0.097 m × -3
= 97 cm
1´10 m

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 6


Learning Check 9
Example: Convert 3.5 m3 to cm3 .
• Start with basic equality 1 cm = 0.01 m
• Now cube both sides
o Units and numbers
o ( ) ( )
3 3
1cm = 0.01m
o 1 cm3 =1×10-6 m3
• Can make two conversion factors
1cm3 1×10-6 m3
1×10-6 m3
or
1 cm3
1cm3
3.5 m × 3
= 3.5 ´ 106 cm 3
1 ´ 10-6 m3
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 7
Non-metric to Metric Units
Convert speed of light from 3.00 ´ 108 m s to mi hr
• Use dimensional analysis
• 1 min = 60 s 60 min = 1 hr
• 1 km = 1000 m 1 mi = 1.609 km
3.00 ×108 m 60 s 60 min 12
× × = 1.08×10 m/hr
s 1 min 1hr
12
1.08×10 m 1 km 1 mi 8
× × = 6.71× 10 mi/hr
hr 1000 m 1.609 km

3. Space filling model

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 44


1. Structural Formulas
• Use to show how atoms are attached

• Atoms represented by chemical symbols


• Chemical bonds attaching atoms indicated by lines

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 45


3-D Representations of Molecules

• Use fused spheres to indicate molecules


• Different colors indicate different elements

• Relative size of spheres reflects differing sizes of atoms


Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 46
2. “Ball-and-Stick” Model
• Spheres = atoms
• Sticks = bonds

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 47


3. “Space-Filling” Model
• Shows relative sizes of atoms
• Shows how atoms take up space in molecule

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 48


More Complicated Molecules
• Sometimes formulas contain parentheses
• How do we translate into a structure?
Example, Urea, CO(NH2)2
o Expands to CON2H4

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 50


Counting Atoms (1 of 3)
1. Subscript following chemical symbol indicates how many of
that element are part of the formula
o No subscript implies a subscript of 1

2. Quantity in parentheses is repeated a number of times equal to


the subscript that follows
3. Raised dot in formula indicates that the substance is a hydrate
o Number preceding H2O specifies how many water molecules are
present

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 51


Counting Atoms (2 of 3)
Example 1: (CH3)3COH
• Subscript 3 means 3 CH3 groups
So from (CH3)3 we get
3×1C=3C
3×3H=9H

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 52


Counting Atoms (3 of 3)

Law of Multiple Proportions (1 of 2)
• When two elements form more than one compound,
different masses of one element that combine with
same mass of other element are always in ratio of small
whole numbers.
• Atoms react as complete (whole) particles.
• Chemical formulas
o Indicate whole numbers of atoms
o Not fractions

Molecules Small and Large
• So far we’ve only discussed small molecules
• Some are very large, especially those found in nature
• Same principles apply to all
Example: DNA - short segment

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 61


How Do We Know Formulas?
• Hardly “out of the blue”
• Don’t know formula when compound first isolated
• Formulas and structures backed by extensive experimentation
• Use results of experiments to determine
o Formula
o Chemical reactivity
• Molecular shape
o Can speculate once formula is known
o Determine from more experiments
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 62
Visualizing Mixtures
• Look at mixtures at atomic/molecular level
• Different color spheres stand for two substances

a. Homogeneous mixture/solution – uniform mixing

b. Heterogeneous mixture – two phases

a. b.

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 63


Chemical Reactions
• When one or more substances react to form one or more new
substances
Example: Reaction of methane, CH4, with oxygen, O2, to form
carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, H2O.
Reactants = CH4 and O2
Products = CO2 and H2O
• How to depict?
o Words too long
o Pictures too awkward

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 64


Chemical Equations
• Use chemical symbols and formulas to represent reactants and
products.
o Reactants on left hand side
o Products on right hand side
o Arrow (→) means “reacts to yield”

Example: CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O


o Coefficients
• Numbers in front of formulas
• Indicate how many of each type of molecule reacted or formed
o Equation reads “methane and oxygen react to yield carbon dioxide
and water”
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 65
Conservation of Mass in Reactions
• Mass can neither be created nor destroyed
• This means that there are the same number of each type of atom
in reactants and in products of reaction
o If number of atoms same, then mass also same

CH4 + 2O2 ® CO2 + 2H2O


4H + 4O + C = 4H + 4O + C
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 66
Balanced Chemical Equation (1 of 3)
Example:

Subscripts
• Define identity of substances
• Must not change when equation is balanced

Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 67


Balanced Chemical Equation (2 of 3)
Example:

Coefficients
• Number in front of formulas
• Indicate number of molecules of each type
• Adjusted so number of each type of atom is same on both sides of
arrow
• Can change
Copyright ©2014 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 68
Balanced Chemical Equation (3 of 3)
• How do you determine if an equation is balanced?
o Count atoms
o Same number of each type on both sides of equation?
• If yes, then balanced
• If no, then unbalanced
Example: 2C4H10 + 13O2 → 8CO2 + 10H2O
Reactants Products
2×4 = 8 C 8×1 = 8 C
2×10 = 20 H 10×2 = 20 H
13×2 = 26 O (8×2)+(10×1)= 26 O
