5. law of conservation of mass/matter The law of conservation of mass/matter, also known as law of mass/matter conservation says that the mass of a closed system will remain constant, regardless of the processes acting inside the system. Matter cannot be created/destroyed, although it may be rearranged. For any chemical process in a closed system, the mass of the reactants must equal the mass of the products.

37. Learning Outcomes Properties of electrons, protons and neutrons (relative mass, relative charge, location within atom).

38. Proton Protons are positively charged particles found within atomic nucleus

41. Atomic number (Z ), mass number (A), isotopes; hydrogen and carbon as examples of isotopes. Relative atomic mass (A r). The 12C scale for relative atomic masses. Learning Outcomes

42. Atomic number Also called proton number, this is the number of protons the atom has

45. Atomic number Also called proton number, this is the number of protons the atom has

46. The Number of Electrons Atoms must have equal numbers of protons and electrons. In our example, an atom of krypton must contain 36 electrons since it contains 36 protons.

47. Mass number Mass Number = (Number of Protons) + (Number of Neutrons)

48. Isotope Atoms that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons are called isotopes

50. Hydrogen isotopes The element hydrogen for example, has three commonly known isotopes: protium, deuterium and tritium

51. Deuterium an atom of deuterium consists of one proton one neutron and one electron

52. Tritium An atom of tritium consists of one proton two neutrons and one electrons

54. Relative Atomic Mass The relative atomic mass of an element the mass of one of the element's atoms -- relative to the mass of an atom of Carbon 12,

55. Learning Outcomes Calculation of approximate relative atomic masses from abundance of isotopes of given mass number (e.g. Calculation of approximate relative atomic mass of chlorine).

57. Relative mass of chlorine Chlorine consists of roughly 75% Chlorine-35 and roughly 25% Chlorine-37. We take an average of the two figures The relative atomic mass of chlorine is usually quoted as 35.5.

59. Learning outcomes Use of the mass spectrometer in determining relative atomic mass. Fundamental processes that occur in a mass spectrometer: vaporisation of substance, production of positive ions, acceleration, separation, detection (mathematical treatment excluded).

60. THE MASS SPECTROMETER Atoms can be deflected by magnetic fields - provided the atom is first turned into an ion.

61. Stage 1: Ionisation The atom is ionised by knocking one or more electrons off to give a positive ion.

62. Stage 2: Acceleration The ions are accelerated so that they all have the same kinetic energy.

63. Stage 3: Deflection The ions are then deflected by a magnetic field according to their masses. The lighter they are, the more they are deflected.

64. Stage 4: Detection The beam of ions passing through the machine is detected electrically.
