  • Answer Key Chapter 6: Standard Review Worksheet 1
    Answer Key Chapter 6: Standard Review Worksheet 1. 1 amu = 1.66 _ 10–24 g. For example, the average atomic mass of sodium is 22.99 amu, which represents the average mass of all the sodium atoms in the world (including all the various isotopes and their relative abundances). So that we will be able to use the mass of a sample of sodium to count the number of atoms of sodium present in the sample, we consider that every sodium atom in a sample has exactly the same mass (the average atomic mass). The average atomic mass of an element is typically not a whole number of amu’s because of the presence of the different isotopes of the element, each with its own relative abundance. Since the relative abundance of an element can be any number, when the weighted average atomic mass of the element is calculated, the average is unlikely to be a whole number. 2. On a microscopic basis, one mole of a substance represents Avogadro’s number (6.022 _ 1023) of individual units (atoms or molecules) of the substance. On a macroscopic basis, one mole of a substance represents the amount of substance present when the molar mass of the substance in grams is taken (for example, 12.01 g of carbon will be one mole of carbon). 3. The molar mass of a compound is the mass in grams of one mole of the compound (6.022 _ 1023 molecules of the compound) and is calculated by summing the average atomic masses of all the atoms present in a molecule of the compound.

  • Make an Atom Vocabulary Grade Levels
    MAKE AN ATOM Fundamental to physical science is a basic understanding of the atom. Atoms are comprised of protons, neutrons, and electrons. Protons and neutrons are at the center of the atom while electrons live in lobe-shaped clouds outside the nucleus. The number of electrons usually matches the number of protons, yielding a net neutral charge for the atom. Sometimes an atom has less neutrons or more neutrons than protons. This is called an isotope. If an atom has different numbers of electrons than protons, then it is an ion. If an atom has different numbers of protons, it is a different element all together. Scientists at Idaho National Laboratory study, create, and use radioactive isotopes like Uranium 234. The 234 means this isotope has an atomic mass of 234 Atomic Mass Units (AMU). GRADE LEVELS: 3-8 VOCABULARY Atom – The basic unit of a chemical element. Proton – A stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign. Neutron – A subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen. Electron – A stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids. Orbital – Each of the actual or potential patterns of electron density that may be formed on an atom or molecule by one or more electrons. Ion – An atom or molecule with a net electric charge due to the loss or gain of one or more electrons.

  • Molar Mass 1 Molar Mass
    Molar mass 1 Molar mass In chemistry, the molar mass is a physical property. It is defined as the mass of a given substance (chemical element or chemical compound) divided by its amount of substance. The base SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol. However, for historical reasons, molar masses are almost always expressed in g/mol. As an example, the molar mass of water is approximately: M(H O) ≈ 18 g⋅mol−1 2 Molar masses of elements The molar mass of atoms of an element is given by the atomic mass of the element multiplied by the molar mass constant, M −3 u = 1×10 kg/mol = 1 g/mol: M(H) = 1.007 97(7) × 1 g/mol = 1.007 97(7) g/mol M(S) = 32.065(5) × 1 g/mol = 32.065(5) g/mol M(Cl) = 35.453(2) × 1 g/mol = 35.453(2) g/mol M(Fe) = 55.845(2) × 1 g/mol = 55.845(2) g/mol. Multiplying by the molar mass constant ensures that the calculation is dimensionally correct: atomic weights are dimensionless quantities (i.e., pure numbers) whereas molar masses have units (in this case, grams/mole). Some elements are usually encountered as molecules, e.g. hydrogen (H 2), sulfur (S 8), chlorine (Cl 2). The molar mass of molecules of these elements is the molar mass of the atoms multiplied by the number of atoms in each molecule: M(H 2) = 2 × 1.007 97(7) × 1 g/mol = 2.015 88(14) g/mol M(S 8) = 8 × 32.065(5) × 1 g/mol = 256.52(4) g/mol M(Cl 2) = 2 × 35.453(2) × 1 g/mol = 70.906(4) g/mol.

  • Isotopes and Atomic Mass
    Name ___________________________ Date ___________________ Class __________________ Chapter 4 • Atomic Structure SMALL-SCALE EXPERIMENT 6 ISOTOPES AND ATOMIC MASS Small-Scale Experiment for text Section 4.3 OBJECTIVES • Determine the average weights of each isotope of the fictitious element vegium. • Determine the relative abundance of isotopes of vegium. • Calculate from experimental data the atomic mass of vegium. INTRODUCTION Isotopes are atoms of the same atomic number having different masses due to different numbers of neutrons. The atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of the masses of the isotopes of that element. The weighted average takes into account both the mass and relative abundance of each isotope as it occurs in nature. The relative abundances and masses of small atomic particles are measured in the laboratory by an instrument called a mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer separates particles by mass and measures the mass and relative abundance of each. From these data, a weighted average is calculated to determine the atomic mass of the element. PURPOSE In this experiment, you will perform the necessary calculations to determine the atomic mass of the fictitious element vegium. The three different isotopes of vegium are beanium, peaium and cornium. As in real elements, these isotopes are collections of particles having different masses. Your job will be to obtain a sample of vegium and determine the relative abundance of each isotope and the mass of each type of particle. From this data, you will calculate the weighted average mass, or atomic mass, of vegium. Unlike real isotopes, the individual isotopic particles of vegium differ slightly in mass, so you will determine the average mass of each type of isotopic particle.
