Summary of Ch.4-Stoichiometry-Day-2

Main Ideas and Concepts

• Introduction to Concentration and Molarity
  • Concentration is defined in terms of Molarity, particularly for aqueous solutions.
  • Molarity is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
  • A solution consists of a solute (the substance being dissolved) and a solvent (the substance doing the dissolving, usually in greater amount).
• Preparation of Solutions
  • To prepare a solution using a solid solute:
  • Accurately weigh the solid based on the desired Concentration.
  • Add the solid to a volumetric flask and dissolve it in a small amount of water.
  • Once dissolved, add water slowly until reaching the calibration mark of the flask.
  • Importance of not exceeding the calibration mark to maintain the correct Concentration.
• Dissociation of Ionic Compounds
  • When Ionic Compounds dissolve, they dissociate into their respective ions.
  • The Concentration of ions in solution can differ from the Concentration of the original compound based on the number of ions produced.
• Calculating Molarity

  Molarity is calculated using the formula:

  Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution

  Emphasis on converting grams to moles and milliliters to liters when performing calculations.

• Dilution of Solutions
  • Dilution results in a lower Concentration of solute.
  • The formula for Dilution is:

  M1V1 = M2V2

  • Explanation of how to perform Dilution calculations and the importance of maintaining the number of moles constant.
• pH Scale Overview
  • The pH Scale ranges from 0 to 14, with 7 being neutral.
  • The scale is logarithmic, meaning each whole number change represents a tenfold change in hydrogen ion Concentration.
  • Basic formulas related to pH:
  • pH = -log[H3O+]
  • pOH = -log[OH-]
  • pH + pOH = 14
• Significant Figures in Calculations

  Importance of Significant Figures when dealing with logarithmic calculations, particularly in pH and Concentration.

Methodology for Preparing Solutions and Calculating Molarity

• Preparing a Solution
  • Weigh the solid solute accurately.
  • Add the solid to a volumetric flask.
  • Add a small amount of water to dissolve the solid.
  • Once dissolved, add water slowly to the calibration mark.
• Calculating Molarity
  • Convert grams of solute to moles.
  • Convert volume from milliliters to liters.
  • Use the formula for Molarity to find the Concentration.
• Dilution Process
  • Identify initial and final concentrations and volumes.
  • Use the Dilution formula M1V1 = M2V2 to calculate the required volumes.
• pH Calculations
  • Use the pH formula to find hydronium ion Concentration.
  • Apply significant figure rules when reporting results.
