OFB Chapter 1 11/3/2003
Subject: new element
A major research institution has recently announced the discovery of the heaviest element yet known to science. This new element has been tentatively named "Administratium". Administratium has I neutron, 12 assistant neutrons, 75 deputy neutrons, and III assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force called "morons", which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called "peons". Since Administratium has no electrons, it is inert. However, it can easily be detected as it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over 4 days to complete when it would normally take less than an hour. Administratium has a normal half-life of 3 years; it does not decay but instead undergoes a reorganization, in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons and assistant deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Administratium's mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization causes some morons to become neutrons forming "isodopes." This characteristic of moron-promotion leads some scientists to speculate that Administratium is formed whenever morons reach a certain quantity in concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as "Critical Mass". You will know it when you see it.

Other Materials (GT bookstore)
• Calculator (+, -, *, /, ln, and log)
• Key-controlled combination lock. Locks can be purchased at the bookstore (must be "chemistry locks"). Used locks may be purchased (at a discount price) from the stockroom in the Chem Annex.
• Safety glasses or goggles
• Lab Apron (recommended)
• NOTE: You should maintain a balance of at least $30 on your BuzzCard so that you can pay for any fees you might incur in lab (breaking glassware, renting safety goggles, etc). Payment will be made at the Annex stockroom. You will not be permitted to work in lab unless you are wearing safety glasses or goggles and closed shoes.
Course Description The course covers fundamental observations, laws, and theories of chemistry at the introductory level. Topics include atoms/molecules, stoichiometry, acids/bases, solutions, equilibria, gases, solids, liquids, thermodynamics, electrochemistry, kinetics, quantum theory, the periodic table, and chemical bonding. Grading Policies Attendance: Attendance is expected in lecture, required in laboratory and highly
beneficial in recitation. Material on exams may be taken from assigned reading, homework, lecture material, or problems similar to those at the end of each chapter in the course text.
Recitation: The weekly recitation section is meant to give students a chance to ask
questions and see sample problems worked. Each recitation section will be directed by a teaching assistant (TA) who is usually a chemistry graduate student.
Exams: Four closed-book exams will be given during the semester. The exam
dates are Friday, January 24, Wednesday February 23, Wednesday March 19, and Monday April 14, 2003.
Final Exam: A three-hour final exam will be given at the time and place determined for
this course by standard Georgia Tech procedures. The final exam for this course is tentatively scheduled for Friday, May 2 at 2:50 PM in Room 16 CHEM Annex.
Homework: Homework problems will be assigned weekly and will be graded on a 0, 1, 2 basis. Many exam questions will be analogous to assigned homework
problems, so working homework problems is an essential part of exam
preparation. Assigned homework problems are taken from the textbook. It is OK for students to collaborate on homework, but each student should turn in their own homework in their own writing. Homework will be collected each week during.
Laboratory Grade: You must pass Laboratory to pass the overall course. Teaching
Assistants will have the responsibility for establishing laboratory grades. Students are graded on pre-lab quizzes, formal lab reports, summary reports, report accuracy, lab technique and attitude, Lab Midterm exam, and Lab Final exam. A grade of 70% or better in the lab is considered passing. Grades between 60% and 65% will be considered, if documentation is provided for any extenuating circumstances.
Grade Changes: Re-grades of hour exams must be requested within one week of the date
that the graded exams are returned to students. Only re-grades that could add four or more points to the score will be considered.
Make-up Exams: There will be no make-up exams. If a student has a valid excuse for
missing an exam, his/her grade for that exam will be calculated from his/her performance on that part of the final exam that covers topics from the missed exam..
Honor Code: Students are expected to adhere to the Georgia Tech honor code during all
aspects of this course (see http://www.honor.gatech.edu/ for details). The basis for course grades will be as follows: Hour Exam 1 5%
Hour Exam 2 10%
Hour Exam 3 15%
Hour Exam 4 15%
Final Exam 25%
Homework 10%
Laboratory 20%

Definitions• Analysis (Take things apart)• Synthesis (Put things together)• Physical Properties (Color, odor, taste,
boiling point, etc.)• Chemical properties (with respect to
other materials, e.g., uniformity)• Substance (refer to elements and
compounds, never mixtures)• Elements (cannot be decomposed into
simpler substances)• Compounds (contain two or more
elements bonded together, e.g., NaCl)• Molecule (a few atoms connected together,
e.g., CO2)• Mixtures (can be separated into two or
more substances)• Homogenous (uniform throughout,
solutions)• Heterogeneous (properties vary from
region to region)• Phase (liquid, gas, solid)
OFB Chapter 1 91/3/2003
Examples• Table Salt
– Heterogeneous (mixture of NaCl and small amounts of other substances)
• Wood– Heterogeneous (mixture of tree cells, and thousands
of other substances)• Mercury
– A substance and an element• Air
– Homogenous mixture of gases– Also a Heterogeneous mixture of gases and dust
• Water– A substance that is a compound with molecular
formula H2O• What is an example of a homogenous sample that
would gradually become heterogeneous if left to itself?– E.g., A solution of sugar in water– 1st Homogeneous– 2nd allow evaporation to start, becomes
heterogeneous– 3rd, complete evaporation, becomes homogeneous
OFB Chapter 1 101/3/2003
Atomic Theory of Matter• Law of conservation of mass:
Mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction
• Dalton’s Atomic Theory of Matter (1808):
1. All matter consists of solid and indivisible atoms
2. All atoms of a given chemical element are identical in mass and in all other properties
3. Different elements have different kinds of atoms; these atoms differ in mass from element to element
4. Atoms are indestructible and retain their identity in all chemical reactions
5. The formation of a compound from its elements occurs through the combination of atoms of unlike elements in small whole-number ratio.
OFB Chapter 1 111/3/2003
Chemical Formulas and Relative Atomic Masses
• Chemical Formulas display symbols for the elements and the relative number of atoms– E.g., NH3, CO2, CH3CO2H or
C2H4O2
• Molecules are groupings of two or more atoms bound closely together by strong forces that maintain them in a persistent combination

Building Blocks of the Atom
• Electrons, Protons and Neutrons– Electrons discovered in 1897 by
Thomson– Rutherford proposed that the
atomic nucleus was composed of neutral particles called Neutrons and positively charged particles called protons
– Neutron number = N– Atomic number = Z = number of
Protons– Atomic mass number = A
A = Z + N

• A sample of a liquid hydrocarbon weighing 142.70 mg is burned in a combustion train to give 477.0 mg of carbon dioxide, 111.60 mg of water and no other products. What is the empirical formula of this hydrocarbon?
Solution:1. Calculate the chemical amount (in moles) of
carbon dioxide and water using the table of atomic masses.
2. Find the ratios of the moles for each substance by dividing each by the smallest one, i.e., normalize to the smallest.
3. If necessary, multiply smallest factor that clears any fractions that they contain.

Volume and DensityExercise 1-13
• The density of liquid mercury at 20 deg C is 13.594 g cm-3. A chemical reaction requires 0.560 mol of mercury. What volume (in cubic centimeters) of mercury should be measured out at 20°C?
Strategy:1. Use density and mass to find
volume. Rearrange
2. Density is given, can find mass from the number of moles of mercury which is given
3. Solve for volume.
