Multiple Choice

Why is the study of atoms, molecules, and ions significant in understanding the nature of matter?

• Because they are the fundamental building blocks of all substances

• Because they are only found in living organisms

• Because they are only important in physics

• Because they do not interact with each other

​This does not mean that the number of substances can not change, they probably will as will their properties, but the total amount of matter must remain constant. H2 + O2 --> H2O

​Law of Definite Proportion - no matter its source, a particular compound is composed of the same element in the same part (fraction) by mass.

Example: NaCl (salt) contain 1 sodium atom with a mass of 22.900 g and
1 chlorine atom with a mass of 35.453 g
Therefore, the fraction (or Percent each is of the compound remains the same.
In this case, the total mass of NaCl is 22.900 + 35.453 = 58.353 g
The percent by mass of Na = 22.900/58.353 or 39.2%
The percent by mass of Cl = 35.453/58.353 or 60.8%

If you have a 20 g sample of salt then it would contain 20g (.392) = 7.84 g of Na and 20g (.608) = 12.16 g of Cl

​Example 1: H₂O

2 atoms of Hydrogen = 2(1.007) = 2.014 g
1 atom of Oxygen = 1(15.999) = 15.999 g

Total mass of H₂O = 18.013 g

%H = 2.014/18.013 = 11.2%
%O = 15.999/18.013 = 88.8%

​Exercise #6

Chlorine has two naturally occurring isotopes
Cl-35: 34.969 amu, 75.77% abundance
Cl-37: 36.966 amu, 24.23% abundance

Calculate the average atomic mass.

Cl-35 34.969 (0.7577) = 26.50 (sig dig)
Cl-37 36.966 (0.2423) = 8.957
Atomic mass of Cl = 35.47 amu
