Formulae of simple compounds
Formulae of simple compounds can be deduced from their ions but there are some that you should know off by heart.
You must learn the following formulae:
Carbon dioxide
Water
Hydrogen
Sodium chloride
Ethanol
Sodium hydroxide
Nitric acid

Naming Compounds
When the compound contains and metal and a non metal;
the name of the metal is given first then the non metal but ending in –ide. E.g. Sodium chloride, Magnesium oxide, iron sulfide.
When the compound is made up of two non-metals;
If one is hydrogen, that is named first, Otherwise the one with the lower group number comes first then name of the other non-metal with ide on the end. e.g. Hydrogen chloride, carbon dioxide
Valency
The valency of an element is the number of electrons its atoms lose, gain or share, to form a compound.
Group Lose / Gain electrons

Balancing charges to write formulae
You are expected to know the formulae of all the ions listed below, there will be a test at some point. You have been warned!
!
!
The next few pages are worksheets that will test your skills on deducing formulae and balancing chemical equations. Please do them yourself!
!
Writing Chemical Equations Now that we can write chemical formulae, we must now begin to use them in chemical equations. There are 3 types of equations that you will have to be comfortable with:
- Word Equations - Symbol Equations, just called “Equations” - Ionic Equations
Word equations Here we simply name the elements and compounds that are involved in the reaction…
Carbon + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide
(Symbol) Equations This type of equation is the most common and involves using the chemical formulae of the substances involved…
HCl + NaOH NaCl + H2O
We must learn to balance these equations, and there are some simple guidelines…
• These equations must have the same number and type of symbols on each side of the equation (we cannot destroy the elements involved or mass!!)
• If we want to change the number of symbols on either side, we must put large numbers in front of the formulae (we cannot change the ratios within the formulae themselves).
EG.
CuO + HCl
EC p53 Q1-3
Ionic Equations
These are perhaps the most tricky but the most meaningful equations in Chemistry. Ionic substances tend to break up when dissolved in water and ionic equations show only the ions that take part in the chemical reaction…
EG
BaCl2 + MgSO4
NB. State symbols are important in these equations, and can be:
(s) Solid (l) Liquid (g) Gas (aq) Aqueous
EC p55 Q1-2 End of chapter questions
Chemical Calculations
Relative atomic mass definition – Ar (sometimes written RAM)
Relative atomic mass and isotopes
Chlorine has a relative atomic mass of 35.5! How can an element contain half of a neutron? The answer is due to the isotopes of chlorine and their relative abundance.
! There are 3 times as many 35Cl atoms as there are 37Cl. So by doing a simple calculation the average relative atomic mass is a decimal. Although you won’t be asked to do this, the following method is used to determine the Ar.
Finding the masses of molecules and ions
Using Ar values, it is easy to work out the mass of any molecule or group of ions.
Relative Molecular Mass (RMM) = Mr The combined mass of all the atoms present in the substance
Relative Formula Mass (RFM) = Mr The combined mass of all the ions present in the substance
Ions have the same mass as atoms as the mass of an electron is negligible
Hydrogen (RMM) Mr :
Water (RMM) Mr :
Sodium Chloride (RFM) Mr :
Work out the Mr of the following substances:
1. NH3
2. CH4
3. C6H12O6
4. CuSO4 EC p59 Q1-3
Calculations involving reacting masses
If you know the actual amount of two substances that react you can:
- Predict other amounts that will react - Say how much product will form.
Two laws of chemistry you must remember:
1 Elements always react in the same ratio to form a given compound.
This “recipe” is represented by the chemical equation for the reaction:
Eg. Carbon and Oxygen
12g of carbon combines with 32g of oxygen, and so on…….
6g of carbon combines with 16g of oxygen to form carbon dioxide, so……
2 The total mass does not change during a chemical reaction. Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products
6g of carbon combines with 16g of oxygen to form 22g carbon dioxide,
12g of carbon combines with 32g of oxygen to form 44g of carbon dioxide
Calculating Quantities
Example 1: A student obtains 48g of magnesium sulfate from 9.6g of magnesium. What mass of magnesium sulfate can the student get from 1.2g of magnesium?
9.6g of magnesium gives 48g of magnesium sulfate (write down the info!!!)
so. 1.2g of magnesium gives 1.2 x 48 = 6g magnesium sulfate 9.6
Example 2: In the reaction Mg + CuSO4 ➔ MgSO4 + Cu. 6.4g of copper are formed from 2.4g of magnesium. What mass of magnesium is needed to get 32g of copper? 6.4g of copper is formed from 2.4g of magnesium (write down the info!!!)
so. 32g of copper requires 32 x 2.4 = 12g of magnesium 6.4
The Mole
An atom is impossible to weigh on a balance. 1000 atoms are impossible to weigh on a balance, a million, a billion etc. So we scale it up to a specific number of atoms, ions or molecules. An atom or molecule can be called a unit, they count as 1 !
This number is 6.02x1023 . We call this number Avogadro’s constant.
In one mole of helium atoms there are 6.02x1023 helium atoms
In one mole of water there are 6.02x1023 water molecules
And so on.. but be careful..
In one mole of water there are 6.02x1023 water molecules but there are 6.02x1023 x 3 atoms!
That means there are 18.06x1024 atoms in a mole of water. Draw below:
Molar Mass - The mass of 1 mole
You can find the mass of one mole of any substance by these steps:
1. Write down the symbol or formula of the substance 2. Find its Ar or Mr 3. Express that mass in grams (g).
For this you will need to remember the formula of common compounds and which elements exist naturally as molecules. Oxygen exists as O2 for example.
Complete the table:
Substance Symbol or formula Ar Mr Mass of 1 mole
Helium He He = 4 Exists as single atoms
4g
Oxygen O2 O = 16 2 x 16 = 32 32g
Ethanol C2H5OH C = 12 H = 1
O = 16
2 x 12 = 24 5. 6 x 1 = 6 6. 1 x 16 =
1646g
Water H20
Carbon Dioxide
Copper sulphate
Sodium chloride
You will need to learn this equation and/or the calculation triangle
!
Number of moles (in a given mass) = mass mass of 1 mole or
Mass of a given number of moles
= mass of 1 mole x number of moles

Calculations involving equations
Most questions you will be asked to answer will have an equation. It is very important you understand how to use moles and ratios.
Consider the following reaction:
Mg + 2 HCl ➔ MgCl2 + H2
IMPORTANT !!! - Those big numbers in front on the formulae tell us in what proportions (in moles) the substances react. That is why we balance equations.
So..
1 mole of magnesium reacts with 2 moles of hydrochloric acid to give 1 mole of magnesium chloride and 1 mole of hydrogen.
Question: How many moles of magnesium chloride are produced when 5 moles of magnesium reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid?
Mg + 2 HCl ➔ MgCl2 + H2
Answer: Look at the ratio of Mg to MgCl2 1 mole of Mg, gives 1 mole of MgCl2 So 5 moles of Mg must give us 5 moles of MgCl2
Question: If we react 36g of Mg with an excess of hydrochloric acid, what mass of MgCl2 is produced? Remember the big number are for proportions in moles NOT MASS!
You must work out the number of moles first BEFORE you use the ratio (copy the model answer from board)
Mg + 2 HCl ➔ MgCl2 + H2
200g of calcium carbonate reacts with an excess of hydrochloric acid.
1. Write the balanced equation 2. Calculate how many moles of calcium carbonate there are 3. Deduce how many moles of carbon dioxide are produced 4. Calculate the mass of the carbon dioxide produced.
123g of glucose reacts with an excess of oxygen.
1. Write the balanced equation for glucose reacting with oxygen. (Respiration)
2. Calculate the mass of water produced.
“Limiting reagent” (reactant) and reagent “in Excess” (INXS)
When a chemical reaction occurs, unless we have the exact proportions of each substance required for the reactants to be perfectly used up, one of the substances will be used up before the other one(s) involved.
The reactant which is completely used up is called the “limiting reagent”
We say that the reagents that are left over once the limiting regent was used up we “in excess”.
EC p63 Q1-2
Molar gas Volume 1 mole of any gas occupies 24dm3 at RTP.
That means that 1 mole of oxygen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen or methane will 24dm3 of space at RTP. (room temperature and pressure)
Remember that the mass of 1 mole for different gases is not the same!
The volume is the same but the mass is different.
!
The equation you need to learn is:
!
Example Simple Calculation:
What volume does 0.25 moles of a gas occupy at rtp?
1 mole occupies 24dm3 so
0.25 moles occupies 0.25 X 24dm3 = 6dm3
1 dm3 = 1 litre.
In 1dm3 there are 1000cm3
Reacting Masses / Gas Calculations
The steps involved in a calculation are as follows :
(a) Convert the information given to moles of one substance.
(b) Use the chemical equation to find moles of other substance needed.
(c) Convert back from moles to mass (or concentration, volume etc.)

Introduction
Magnesium reacts readily with oxygen. When magnesium ribbon is heated in air it burns with an intense white light.
1. Write a word equation for the reaction (incl. state symbols)
Magnesium is so reactive that it even reacts with nitrogen in the air, however the mount of magnesium nitride formed is less than 1 % of the product of the reaction.
The surface of the magnesium ribbon may be dull due to a layer of magnesium oxide (or nitride).
The rate of burning of the magnesium depends on the concentration of oxygen that surrounds it: a good circulation of air is needed for magnesium to remain burning at a reasonable rate without the reaction stopping.
