These skills include describing observations, giving explanations, planning and interpreting experiments, Aithough all of these skills are discussed in this tapie, the most important feature of this part of the course involves using numbers, Some students have a natural ability for numbers, while others find them lessattractive. Whatever your mathematical ability, itis important to spend as much time as possible focusing on this topic in onder to improve. Using numbersaccurately is an important skill in so many occupations - here are just a fewexamples: in medicine, calculating the dosage of a drug to maximise benefit to the patient and minimise unwanted side-effects in business, predicting whether capital investment will produce a sufficient income to justify the investment in industry, considering whether the costs and polluting effects of a new methad of making a molecule justify making the change in shipping operations (for example, the Casta Concordia in 2012), working out the volume of air needed ta float a ship after an accident, ‘As far as your chemistry course is;concemed, this topic is the foundation of success in other topics, such as energetics and kinetics, Use appropriate units and conversions, including for masses, gas and solution volumes Use standard and ordinary form, decimal places, and significant figures Use ratios, fractions and percentages, including in yield and atom economy calculations Rearrange expressions and substitute values a Peres laUbe essa ager Ung appropriate apparatus to measure masses Seer eee Seen Knowing how to convert betwoen diferent units Seta Weiing and balancing chemical equations, Me incudingthe ure of state symbole ee en eee?

Elements are chersically the simplest substnncea 30 they cannot be broken down using ‘chernical reactions, Rar example. neon is an Cement becouse it ‘contains only neon ators, which have the symbol Ne, ft cannot be broken down into atoms of any other element, Water is not an element becaune it can be broken down into the elements hhydragen and oxygen, ‘This way of deseribing an element is sufficient for this stage of Yyour studies, but more details wil De required as you pregress through this course For ecample, some elements contain isotopes. You will learn about sotopes in Taple 2. Neon contains three stable isotopes, "Ne. “!Ne. and "Ne. All isatopes of the saine element havethe same number of protons and electrons, but aiferent numbees of neutrons WHAT IS AN ATOM? You already know what an atom is, because wehave used the term to help you understand what an element is, Atoms are far tac smal to be seen wih the human eye. You can ree a in grain ff sand and this contains many bilions of atoms of stican and jagger. An atom canbe described as the smaliest part af an element that has the properties of that element, This meaning is fine when you wort through Topie 1. However in Topie 2 you wnil need to recall that atoms contain even smaller particles, (protons, neutrons and electrons). WHAT IS A MOLECULE? This it easier now that we know the meanings of element and ator, You could deserite a molecule az. particle made of rwo ormore atoms berided together lf a molectie concains atoms af the sarne element, then the results a malecule-of an element. For example, 2 mctecule thot contwins two ator of hyemgea joined together can be represented by the formula Fy.

The wording ‘bf the description rakes it clear that carbon eicaide and calcium hhyaronde are the reactants, and that caleizm carzonate and water are the products ‘Now you have to write the farmulae in the eonroct psc 0, + Call, — CaCO, + 4,0 The next step izbalancing the equation, You need to add up the nnumiers of all the atoms taznake sure that, or each elem the totale are the game on both the left and the right slde of the ‘equation, In this exurnple, there is one eavbon, one ealelum, two hydrogen and four eaygen atcms'on each side, so the expat is already balanced Here ix an exarnple were the frst equation you write isnot helanced.

However, i ig not the only one. Other faetoes include: + the availablity or searcty of non-renewuble raw materials + the cost of raw materials + the quantity of energy needed. HOW ATOM ECONOMY WORKS eve Is an example of atom economy In action, ‘There are two-main processes in the manufacture of phospharic acid, Tb make the comparison easier toellow, 3 single summary equation is shown fo each process Process 1 Cas(POdh + 34:50, — 2H,PO, + 30280, Process?
