(ii) Symbol H also represents one atom of hydrogen element.

(iii) Symbol H also represents one mole of hydrogen atom.

(iv) SymbolHalsorepresentsonegramhydrogenatom.IONS

An ion is a positively or negatively charged atom or group of atoms.

Every atom contains equal number of electrons (negatively charged) and protons (positively charged).

Both charges balance each other, hence atom is electricallyneutral.

Classification of ions

(a) On the basis of charge

(i) Cation :

If an atom has less electrons than a neutral atom, then it gets positivelycharged and a positivelycharged

ion is known as cation.

e.g. Sodium ion (Na+), Magnesium ion (Mg2+) etc.

A cation bears that much units of positive charge as there are the number of electrons lost bythe neutral

atom to form that cation.

e.g.An aluminium atom loses 3 electrons to form aluminium ion, so aluminium ion bears 3 units of

positivechargeand it is represented asAl3+.

(ii) Anion :

If an atom has more number of electrons than that of neutral atom, then it gets negativelycharged and a

negativelycharged ion is known as anion.

e.g. Chloride ion (Cl¯), oxide ion (O2-) etc.

An anion bears that much units of negative charge as there are the number of electrons gained by the

neutral atom to form that anion.

e.g.Anitrogen atom gains 3 electrons to form nitride ion, so nitride ion bears 3 units of negative charge

and it is represented as N3-.

Note :

Size of a cation is always smaller and anion is always greater than that of the correspondingneutral atom.

(b) On the basis of number of atoms

(i) Monoatomic ions : Those ions which are formed from single atoms are called monoatomic

ions or simple ions.

e.g. Na+, Mg2+ etc.

(ii) Polyatomic ions : Those ions which are formed from group of atoms joined together are called

polyatomic ions or compound ions.

e.g.Ammonium ion (NH4+) , hydroxide ion (OH–) etc. which are formed by the joining of two

typesofatoms,nitrogenandhydrogenin the first caseandoxygenandhydrogenin thesecond.

VALENCY OF IONSThe valency of an ion is same as the charge present on the ion.If an ion has 1 unit of positive charge, its valencyis 1 and it is known asa monovalent cation. If an ion has2 units of negative charge, its valency is 2 and it is known as a divalent anion.

LAWS OFCHEMICALCOMBINATION

The laws of chemical combination are the experimental laws which led to the idea of

atoms being the smallest unit of matter.The laws of chemical combination played a significant role in the

development of Dalton’s atomic theoryof matter.

There are two important laws of chemical combination. These are:

(a) Law of conservation of mass

(b) Law of constant proportions

NTSE_WORKSHOP Chemistry_Mole Concept

(a) Law of Conservation of Mass or Matter :

This law was given byAntonie L. Lavoisier (Father of chemistry) in 1774 .

According to this law, “ In a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants. is equal to the total mass of

the products.”

Suppose we carry out a chemical reaction between A and B and if the products formed are C and D

then,

A + B C + D

Suppose 'a' g of A and 'b' g of B react to produce 'c' g of C and 'd' g of D. Then, according to the law

of conservation of mass, we have,

a + b = c + d

Example: CaO + CO2

56g 44g

56g + 44g =100g

(100 gm)

Heat

(b) Law of Constant Composition or Definte Proportion

This law was given by a french chemist proust in 1799.

According to this law, “The composition of a compound always remains fixed and it is independent of

the source from which the compound is obtained.”

This law cannot be applied to

(i) The compound obtained byusing different isotopes of the elements, selectively.

(ii) Those non-stoichiometric compounds, for which the exact formula can not be given

Example:

Water is a compound of hydrogen and oxygen. It can be obtained from various sources (like river, sea,

well etc.) or even synthesized in the laboratory. From whatever source we may get it, 9 parts by weight

of water is always found to contain 1 part byweight of hydrogen and 8 parts byweight of oxygen. Thus,

in water, this proportion of hydrogen and oxygen always remains constant.

(c) Law of Multiple Proportion

The law of multiple proportion was given byDalton in 1808.

According to this law, “ If two elements combine to form more than one compound, then for the fixed

mass of one element, the mass of other element combined will be in simple ratio.”

Example:

Carbon and oxygen when combine, can form two oxides that are CO (carbon monoxide), CO2(carbon

dioxide).

In CO,12 g carbon combined with 16 g of oxygen.

In CO2,12 g carbon combined with 32 g of oxygen.

Thus, we can see the mass of oxygen which combine with a constant mass of carbon (12 g) bear simple

ratio of 16 : 32 or 1 : 2

(d) Gay Lussac’s Law of gaseous volume

This law is applicable to only those chemical reactions in which at least two reaction components are

gaseous.

According to this law, “The volumes of all gaseous reactants reacted and the volumes of all gaseous

products formed, measured at the same pressure and temperature, bear a simple ratio.”

Example:

Combination between hydrogen and chlorine to form hydrogen chloride gas. One volume of hydrogen

and one volume of chlorine always combine to form two volumes of hydrogen chloride gas.

H2(g) + Cl

2(g) 2HCl (g)

1vol. 1 vol. 2 vol.

The ratio between the volume of the reactants and the product in this reaction is simple, i.e., 1 : 1 : 2.

Hence it illustrates the Law of combining volumes.

(e) Avogadro’s Hypothesis :

According to this, “Equal volumes of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure

contain equal number of molecules.”

This hypothesishas been found toexplain elegantlyall thegaseous reactionsandisnowwidelyrecognized

as a law or a principle known asAvogadro’s Law orAvogadro’s principle.The reaction between hydrogen and chlorine can be explainedon thebasisofAvogadro’sLawas follows

:

Hydrogen + Chlorine Hydrogen chloride gas1 vol. (By experiment)1 vol. 2 vol.

n molecules. n molecules. 2n molecules.(By Avogadro's Law)

21 molecules. molecules. 1 molecules. (By dividing throughout by 2n)

1 Atom 1 Atom 1 Molecule (Applying Avogadro's hypothesis)

21

It implies that one molecule of hydrogen chloride gas is made up of 1 atom of hydrogen and 1 atom of

chlorine.

Applications ofAvogadro’s hypothesis :

(a) In the calculation of atomicity of elementary gases.

(b) To find the relationship between molecular mass and vapour density of a gas.Molecular mass = 2 × Vapour density

ATOMIC MASS UNITThe atomic mass unit (amu) is equal to one-twelth (1/12) of the mass of atom of carbon-12. The mass ofan atom of carbon-12 isotope was given the atomic mass of 12 units, i.e., 12 amu of 12 u.

1 amu = atom12-Canofmass12

1

The actual mass of one atom of C-12 = 1.9926 × 10–26 kg

Hence, 1 amu =12

109926.1 26kg

= 1.66 × 10–27 Kg = 1.66 × 10–24 gm =AN

1gm.

Presently, amu has been replaced byunified mass (u).

Ex.1 Calculate the molecular mass of water (Atomic masses : H = 1u, O = 16u)

Sol. The molecular formula of water is H2O

Molecular mass of water = (2 × atomic mass of H) + (1 × atomic mass of O) = 2 × 1 + 1 × 16 = 18

i.e., molecular mass of water = 18u.

FORMULA MASS

The term ‘formula mass’ is used for ionic compounds and other where discrete molecules do not exist.

e.g., sodium chloride, which is best represented as (Na+Cl–)n, but, for reasons of simplicityas NaCl or

Na+Cl–. Here, formula mass means the sum of the masses of all the species in the formula.

Thus, the formula mass of sodium chloride = (atomic mass of sodium) + (atomic mass of chlorine)

= 23 + 35.5

= 58.5 amu.

MOLE CONCEPT

A mole is the amount of substance that contains as many species (Atoms, molecules, ions or otherparticles) as there are atoms in exactly 12 gm of C-12.

PERCENTAGE COMPOSITION

The percentage composition of elements in a compound is calculated from the molecular formula of the

compounds.

The molecular mass of the compound is calculated from the atomic masses of the various elements

present in the compound. The percentage bymass of each element is then computed with the help of the

followingrelations

Percentage mass of the element in the compound = massMolecular

elementtheofmassTotal× 100

Ex.10 What si the percentage of calcium in calcium carbonate (CaCO3) ?

Sol. Molecular mass of CaCO3= 40 + 12 + 3 × 16 = 100 amu.

Mass of calcium in 1 mol of CaCO3= 40g.

Percentage of calcium =100

10040= 40%

Ex.11 What are the percentage compositions of hydrogen and oxygen in water (H2O)?

Sol. Molecular mass of water, H2O = 2 + 16 = 18 amu.

So, total mass of hydrogen in H2O = 2 amu.

Percentage of H =18

1002= 11.11%

similarly,

Percentage of oxygen =18

10016= 88.89%

STOICHIOMETRYAND STOICHIOMETRIC CALCULATION

The word 'stoichiometry' is derived from two greek words – stoicheion (meaning element) and metron

(meaning measure). Hence, stoichiometry deals with the calculations of amounts of the reactants ad

products involved in a chemical reaction.

Significance of Chemical Equations

A chemical equation describes the chemical process both qualitatively and quantitatively.

The stoichiometric coefficients in the chemical equationgive the quantitative informationof thechemical

process. These coefficients represent the relative number of molecules or moles of the reactants and

products For example,

2 KClO3 (s) 2 KCl (s) + 3 O2 (g)

2 molecules 2 molecules 3 molecules

or, 2 N molecules 2 N molecules 3 N molecules

or, 2 moles 2 moles 3 moles

Again,Avogadro’s hypothesis states that under the same conditions of temperature and pressure,

equal volumes of gases contain the equal number of molecules. Thus, for homogeneous gaseous

reactions, the stoichiometric coefficients of the chemical equation also signify the relative volumes of

each reactant and product under the same conditions of temperature and pressure, For example.

or 1volume 1volume 2 volume (T & P constant)

or 1 pressure 1 pressure 2 pressure (T & V constant)

LIMITING REAGENT

The reactant which gives least amount of product on being completelyconsumed is known as limiting

reagent. It may also be defined as the reactant that is completely consumed when a reaction goes to

completion. It comes into the picture when reaction involves two or more reactants. For solving such

reactions, first step is to decide the Limiting Reagent.

Determination of Limiting Reagent :

Methode–I Bycalculating the required amount ofother reactant, bytheequation and comparing itwith given

amount.

[Useful when only two reactant are there]

Methode–II Bycalculating amount of anyone product obtained taking each reactant one byone, irrespective

of other reactants. Theonegiving least product is limiting reagent.

Methode–III Divide given moles of each reactantbytheir stoichiometric coefficient.The one with least ratio is

limiting reagent. [Useful when number of reactants are more than two.]

Ex.12 If 20 gm of CaCO3 is treated with 20 gm of HCl, how manygrams of CO2 can be generated according

to followingreaction :
