Solution Chemistry - Mar.30

In today's class we learned about solute, solvents, solubility, saturated and unsaturated solutions.

- Solution Chemistry is the study of chemical reactions in solutions
- A solution is a homogeneous mixture
- Solvents are components present in larger amounts
- Solutes are components present in smaller amounts
- A solute is soluble (dissolves) in a solvent if it dissolves to form a homogeneous mixture
- A saturated solution contains as much solute as possible
- An unsaturated solution can dissolve more solute
- Solubility is the measure of how much solute can dissolve in a given solvent (g/L, g/mL, mol/L, ppm-parts per million)
- The solubility of Ba(NO3)2 in water is 63g/100mL @25 degrees celcius
- The solubility of Ba(NO)2 in alcohol is 1.6g/100mL @25 degrees celcius
- Effects: heat, change of solute/solvent

Example of a Saturated Solution: Water bottle with plain water
Example of an Unsaturated Solution

Atoms and Ions march 22,2010

Atoms and Ions

  • Atoms are electrically neutral
  • # of protons = #of electrons
  • Ions have different # of protons and electrons
  • Ions can be either positive (lost e-) or negative (gained e-)
  • Cations = positive ion
  • Anions = negative ion
Examples
  • Determine how many electrons each of the ions have. What type of ion are they (cation/Anion)

Ca2+ -> lost 2e-, 18 electrons, cation

F- -> gained 1 e-, 8 electrons, anion

H+ -> lost 1e-, 0 electrons, cation

H- -> gained 1 e-, 2 electrons, anion

Examples

76 As 3- -> 33 p+, 43 n, 36 electrons (gained 3)

201 Au+ -> 79p+, 122n, 78 electrons (lost 1)

Bohr diagrams for Ions




Bohr diagrams could also be written as:

8e-
2e- 2e-
10 4
9 F 3 Li

Chemical Bonds
  • A bond is an electrostatic attraction btwn particles
  • Bonds occur as elements try to achieve Noble gas electron configuration
  • Noble gases (usually) do not form compunds or bonds
  • In Noble gases the outermost energy level have stable octets.
  • Metals lose electrons (oxidize)
  • Non metals gain electrons (reduced)

Lewis Dot Structure

  • Atoms can be represented by dot diagrams
  • Dots represent electrons
  • Only Vanlence level electrons are shown
  • Wtrite the atomic symbol for the atom
  • -this rep. the nucleus and filled inner electron leves
  • one dot is used to rep outer energy level electrons
  • one e- is placed in each orbital before any pairing occurs
  • - beginning with the 5th e-, pairing can occur up to a maximum of 8e-

Example

Carbon, Hydrogen, Nitrogen




Ionic Bonds (have brackets (covalent dont have brackets)

  • electrons are transferred from metal to nonmental. no dots are shown on metal
  • charged species is written in brackets

EMISSION SPECTRA - MARCH 5 CLAASS

Emission Spectra

  • Each element gives of a specific colour of light
  • These are known as emission spectra -Unique to each element
  • If electrons absorb energy they can be bumped to a higher level
  • When they fall to a lower level, they release that energy as light.

Atomic Structure






  • Atoms are made up parts called subatomic particles
  • Protons(+)
  • Neutrons(neutral)
  • Electrons(-)

Particle (Multiples of Proton) (Elementary Charges) Location

Mass Charge

Proton 1 1+ Nucleus

Neutron 1 0 Nucleus

Electron 1/1837 -1 Outside

Atomic Number -Number of protons

Isotopes

  • The number of protons determine the type of element
  • Changing the number of neutrons changes the isotope of the element.
  • All isotopes have the same chemical properties

1 proton = protium

1 proton and 1 neutron = deuterium

1 proton and 2 neutrons = tritium

Mass Number

  • Mass Number = total of protons and neutrons
  • Symbol given is A
  • Different Isotopes have different masses

Bohr Model - March 3 Class

- Atoms are electrically neutral
- Two different models can be used to describe electron configuration: Energy level model and Bohr model
- Electrons occupy or orbitals:
  1. 2e in the first orbital
  2. 8e in the second orbital
  3. 8e in the third orbital
    All of these orbitals combined are called an octet



Orbital Shapes:
- Atomic orbitals each have a specific name and shape.


Hybridized Orbitals:
- The first of the Bohr levels is the 1s-orbital and it holds 2e-
- The second level contains 2s, 2px, 2py, 2pz orbitals. They combine (hybridize) to form 2sp3 orbital
