2 This chapter will introduce the chemistry needed to understand how antacids work
Section 1: Identifying Ions Section 2: Naming Ionic Compounds Section 3: Naming Covalent Compounds Section 4: Writing Formulas for Ionic & Covalent compounds Section 5: Percent composition, Empirical formulas, Molecular Formulas

3 Section 1—Identifying Ions
We need to be able to name the chemicals in the antacids!

4 The Language of Chemistry
Chemistry has a language all of its own Chemistry English Element Symbols Letters Chemical Formulas Words Chemical Equations Sentences Each element symbol starts with a capital letter

5 ELEMENTS: made of atoms
An atom consists of subatomic particles There are 3 subatomic particles: protons, electrons and neutrons Neutral atoms have the same number of protons and electrons Atoms can form IONS

6 IONS An atom or group of atoms with a charge.
The number of protons does not equal the number of electrons. WHY? Atoms can gain or lose electrons to acquire stability like a noble gas element.

7 The Periodic Table of Elements
Metals form cations Nonmetals form anions H He Li Be B C N O F Ne Na Mg Al Si P S Cl Ar K Ca Sc Ti V Cr Mn Fe Co Ni Cu Zn Ga Ge As Se Br Kr Rb Sr Y Zr Nb Mo Tc Ru Rh Pd Ag Cd In Sn Sb Te I Xe Cs Ba Lu Hf Ta W Re Os Ir Pt Au Hg Tl Pb Bi Po At Rn Fr Ra Lr Rf Db Sg Bh Hs Mt Ds Rg Cn ? Fl Lv Metals Metalloids Non-metals

8 Monatomic Ions (formed from a single atom) Cations
Cations Positive charge or oxidation number Metal atoms that lose electrons Two types of Metals: Representative & Transition 1. Type I Representative (main group) metals (Group A ) The group # for metals in columns 1A, 2A, & 3A is equal to the charge/oxidation number of the cation Naming them: Take the element name and add the word ion

10 Monatomic Ions of Group A /Type I Metals
Highlight the periodic table column charges seem below skip Group A Group A Group B

11 Type II Transition Metals (Group B): usually have more than one charge/oxidation number
You should be familiar with the following transition metals with more than one charge. Fe+2 Fe+3 Sn+2 Sn+4 Pb+2 Pb+4 Co+2 Co+3 Cr Cr+3 Mn+2 Mn+3 Cu Cu+2 Naming them: Take the element name and place in parentheses the charge number as a roman numeral and add the word ion

12 Three Transition Metals that must be memorized
They only have 1 charge Zinc ion (Zn+2) Cadmium ion (Cd+2) Silver ion (Ag+1)

13 Monatomic Ions of Transition/Type II Metals
Type II (Group B) Transition Metals +

14 Monatomic Ions (formed from a single atom) Cu+2, F-1
Anions Negative charge or oxidation number Nonmetals that gain electrons Group A (Representative nonmetals) Subtract the group # in columns 4A, 5A, 6A, and 7A from 8 to get the charge. Naming them: Drop the ending of the element and add –ide and then ion

74 Section 4—Writing Chemical Formulas For Ionic & Covalent Compounds

75 Reminders Your Reference sheet has a list of:
Common polyatomic ions Use your periodic table is used to determine the charges of common elements when they form ions You must memorize the 10 prefixes for covalent compounds

76 How to Write Formulas for Binary Ionic Compounds
These compounds: End in “-ide” (except “hydroxide and cyanide”) Do NOT contain covalent prefixes To write these formulas: Write the symbol & charge of the metal, cation) Write the symbol & charge of the non-metal, anion) If total charge is not equal to zero, adjust the # of cations or anions to create a neutral compound. Use subscripts to show how many of each type of ion is there.

77 Example #1 Sodium chloride

78 Na+1 Cation Sodium chloride Anion Cl-1 NaCl

79 NaCl Example #1 Sodium chloride +1 + -1 = 0 Na+1Cl-1 Cation Anion Na+1

116 Section 5 Formula Calculations
Percent Composition, Empirical Formulas & Molecular Formulas

117 Percent Composition by Mass of Air

118 Percent Composition Defined as the percent by mass of each element in a compound Steps to Finding Percent Composition Add up the mass of each element within the compound to get the mass of the compound. Divide each element’s mass by the mass of the compound. Multiply by 100 % composition= mass of element x 100 mass of compound

119 Example: Calculate the % composition of each element in calcium carbonate.
CaCO3 Molar mass = g % C = 12.01/ x 100 = % %Ca = 40.08/ x 100 = 40.04% %O = 48.00/ x 100 = 47.96%

120 Example: What is the % of each element in a compound that contains 29
Example: What is the % of each element in a compound that contains 29.00g Ag and 4.30g S only? Total mass of compound = g % Ag = 29.00/33.30 x 100 = % %S = 4.30/33.30 x 100 = 12.9%

121 Hydrates A HYDRATE is an ionic compound with water trapped
in its crystal. Examples are: CuSO4 5H2O MgSO4 7 H2O CoCl2 6 H2O Heating a hydrate removes the water and leaves behind just the salt which is called the anhydrate.

122 Example: What is the % water in the hydrate, CuCl2  2H2O
Molar mass of hydrate = g % water = 36.04/ x 100 = 21.14%

123 Heating of A Hydrate Animation
Calculating the experimental % composition of water in a hydrate.

124 Empirical Formula A chemical formula showing the simplest whole number ratio of moles of elements (subscripts) May or may not be the same as the ACTUAL molecular formula Hydrogen Peroxide has an actual formula (molecular formula) of H2O2 but an empirical formula of HO

125 How to Calculate Empirical Formula
RHYME: Percent to Mass Mass to Mole Divide by Small Multiply till Whole Assume 100 grams of the sample of compound. Switch the percent sign to grams 2. Convert each element’s mass into moles. 3. Divide each element’s mole amount by the smallest mole amount in the entire problem. The answer is the subscript of the element within the compound. 4. OPTIONAL: If mole ratio is not within .1 of a whole number, multiply each amount by the smallest whole number that will produce either a whole number itself or a number within .1 of a whole number.

126 Example: What is the empirical formula for 40.05% S and 59.95% O?
Switch the percent sign to grams & convert each element’s mass into moles 40.05 g S / 32.07g = mol S 59.95 g O / g = mol O Divide each element’s mole amount by the smallest mole amount in the entire problem. 1.250 mol S = mol O = 2.99 = 3 1.250 mole mol S1O3  SO3

127 Example: What is the empirical formula for 43.64% P and 56.36% O?
Switch the percent sign to grams & convert each element’s mass into moles 43.64 g P / 30.97g = mol S 56.36 g O / g = mol O Divide each element’s mole amount by the smallest mole amount in the entire problem. 1.409 mol S = mol O = 2.49 ≠ 3 1.409 mole mol If mole ratio is not within .1 of a whole number, multiply each amount by the smallest whole number that will produce either a whole number itself or a number within .1 of a whole number. 1 x 2 = x 2 = = 5 P2O5

128 Molecular Formula Is the ACTUAL, true formula of the compound.
They are usually multiples of their empirical formula N2O4 is the molecular formula; the empirical formula is NO2 Notice that the molecular formula is 2 times larger than the empirical formula

129 Molecular Formula

130 How to Calculate Molecular Formula
1. You need to find the empirical formula and calculate its molar mass. Call this empirical formula mass EFM. 2. Find the mass of the actual formula which will most likely be given to you in grams. Call this molecular formula mass MFM. 3. Divide the MFM by the EFM to get a factor. 4. Multiply the factor by the empirical formula to get the MOLECULAR FORMULA Factor x (Empirical Formula) = Molecular Formula

131 Example: What is the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CH4N and the molecular mass is g/mol? 1. Empirical Formula Mass (EFM) = = g 2. Molecular Formula Mass (MFM) = g / = 2 4. 2(CH4N) = C2H8N2
