Formula And Equations

THE WORLD OF CHEMISTRY IS SO WIDE AND

WONDERFUL

Chemistry is from the Greek Word meaning

“ Cast together” or “Pour together”.

CHEMISTRY IS THE STUDY OF COMPOSITION, STRUCTURE AND PROPERTIES OF MATTER AND THE CHANGES IT UNDERGOES.

Matter: Anything that occupies space and has mass. Matter can exist in solid, liquid and gaseous states.

Wood, Stone, Air, Water

Elements: These are pure substances that cannot be decomposed into simpler substances by chemical methods.

Hydrogen, Oxygen, Sulphur, Gold

Compounds: Substances formed by the union of two or more elements in a definite ratio.

Water, Sodium chloride, sugar

Atoms: The smallest particle of an element which cannot be divided by chemical methods.

H, He, Li, B

Molecule: Smallest particle of an element or a compound which can exist in the free state.

H2, O2, N2

Writing Formulae of Compounds Containing

Positive and Negetive Radicals

1 Write down the symbols or formulae of two radicals (A & B) side by side, positive A on the left and negative B on the right side.

A = Al B = Cl Al Cl

2 Write their valences at the top

Al3 Cl1

3 Cross the valences.

Al3 Cl1 = AlCl3

4 Complex radicals are enclosed in brackets.

(NH4)2SO4

Molecular Formula of a compound is a symbolic representation of a molecule of the compound.

Molecular Formula Indicates;a) Actual number of atoms of the

elements in a molecule of the compound.

b) The molar mass of the substance.

Molecular Formula of Water is H2O

This indicates one molecule of water contains two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.

Molar mass of H2O is , 1x2 + 16 = 18 g mole-1

CaCO3 40+12+16x3 = 100

H2SO4 1x2+32+16x4 = 98

CuSO4 63.5+32+16x4 =

CuSO4.5H2O 63.5+32+16x4+18x5 =

KOH

NaOH 23+16+1 =

HCl 1+35.6 =

CaCO3 40+12+16x3 +

HNO3 1+14+16x3 =

(NH4)2CO3 (14+1x4)x2+12+16x3 =

Na2CO3 + HCl 2NaCl + H2O +CO2

Na2CO3 +2HCl 2NaCl + H2O+CO2

Al2O3 + NaOH Na3AlO3 + H2O

Al2O3 + NaOH 2Na3AlO3 + H2O

Al2O3 + 6NaOH 2Na3AlO3 + H2O

Al2O3 + 6NaOH 2Na3AlO3 + 3H2O
