Calculating Percent Error
Accepted Value – Experimental Value X 100 = Percent Error Accepted Value
Percent Error is an absolute value (never a negative number)
Significant Figures
Use with
Measurements!
1. Leading 0’s NEVER count
2. Trailing 0’s count ONLY if there is a decimal 3. Trapped 0’s ALWAYS
count
Do not use SFs with FACTS!
Scientific Notation
• With Scientific Notation, you always have one, and only one, digit to the left of the decimal place • When written in scientific notation, numbers
greater than 10 have positive exponents
• Numbers between 1 and 10 are not written in scientific notation
• When written in scientific notation, numbers less than 1 have negative exponents
Multiplication
To multiply numbers written in SN, multiply the coefficients and add the exponents
Division
To divide, divide the coefficients, and subtract the exponent in the denominator from the exponent on the numerator
Addition and Subtraction Before you can add or subtract SNs, you must
make the exponents the same. It does not matter which exponent you change.

Balancing Equations:
Law of Conservation of Matter
Coefficients are used to balanceequations—they reflect the relative number of units of each substance involved in the reaction
Subscripts indicate the number of atoms present in a compound
Rules for Balancing Equations
Determine the correct formulas for all reactantsand products
Put the reactants on the left side of the yields sign (→) put the products on the right

3) Make one coefficient = 1; solve for the other coefficients
a = 1. Since a = c, c = 1. b = 2c --- b = 2 (1) --- b = 2

Matter: anything
that occupies space

ATOMS!
Atoms: building blocks of matter (smallestparticle possessing the properties of an element)
Elements are composed of only one type of atom

Electrons -
•
Neutrons (no charge)
Ions and Ionic Compounds Atoms gain/lose electrons to become ions
• Electrically charged
• atoms or groups of atoms
–Cation
–Anion
Polyatomic Ions:
Sodium Ion: 11 protons (11 + charge) + 10 electrons (10 – charge) Sodium ion ( 1 + charge) Na+
Naming Rules:
1) Name Cation 1
st, then Anion
next -- Na
+Cl
-NaCl
2) Suffix of anion ends in (-ide)
2) Correct Formula has fewest
positive and negative ions
needed to make the electrical
charge neutral
C.12: Gases and Temperature?
“Like dissolves like”
• Water will dissolve other polar substances • Will dissolve sugar and ethanol, which are polar
substances
• Oil and Water?
•Oil is non-polar, so it does not readily dissolve in water
Percent Concentration
Solute x 100 = Percent Concentration
Solution
• Physical Properties: color, odor, density---can be determined without altering the make-up of the substance
• Chemical Properties: relate to the chemical changes that the substances undergo: when atoms are rearranged

4Atomic Number vs.
Mass Number vs. Atomic Mass
Atomic Number
•Always the number of protons the element has •Uniquely identifies the element
•Always a whole number Mass Number
Mass Number
• Number of Protons and Neutrons (found in nucleus)…always a whole number
Atomic Mass (AMU for a single atom---grams for a mole) • Mass of protons, electrons, and neutrons
• Not a whole number…why?
Isotopes are different types of atoms of the same element that have a different number of neutrons

Three key points!
1) Reduction is a gain of electrons, Oxidation isa loss of electrons
2) The reactant that produces electrons is the reducing agent – it gets oxidized.
2) There can be no oxidation without reduction and visa versa !
