Significant Figures
a.k.a.- sig figs
Significant Digits
• The certain digits and one estimated digit of each measurement are significant.
Remember! Every time you make a measurement, you record all of the certain digits and one estimated digit.
200.54 g
Rules for Sig Figs
1) Non zeros are always significant.2) Zeros between non zeros are significant.3) Zeros at the end of significant digits following
a decimal point are significant.*They show precision in measurement.
4) Place keeper zeros are NOT significant.a) Zeros preceding significant digits.b) Zeros following significant digits without a
decimal point.
Try These Examples
7.05940Final zero significant (follows decimal point)
6 significant digits0.00135
Leading zeros Not significant (place keepers)3 significant digits
20,400Final zeros Not significant (place keepers – no decimal)
3 significant digits
Heat Calculations• Heat (q)
– Energy transferred from an object at a higher temperature to an object at a lower temperature. (heat lost = -heat gained)
– q = mcT
– q=mHfus
– q=mHvap
Heat Calculations• A 10.0g sample of iron at 50.4oC is cooled to
25.0oC in 50.0g of water. Calculate the amount of heat lost by the iron.
ciron= 0.449 J/goC
• A 2.1g ice cube at –8.0oC melts completely and warms to 12.5oC. How much heat was required?
Hfus ice = 334 J/g
cice = 2.03 J/goC
cwater = 4.18J/goC
soluble – a substance that dissolves in a solvent
insoluble – a substance that does not dissolve in a solvent
solvation – the process of surrounding solute particles with solvent particles to form a solution
Solvation• When a solid solute is placed in a solvent, the
solvent particles completely surround the surface of the solid solute.
• If attractive forces between the solute particles and the solvent are greater than the attractive forces holding the the solute particles together, the solvent particles pull the solute particles apart and surround them.

Process of Solvation
Water- Universal Solvent• Polar molecule
• Dipoles allow solvation of ions and polar molecules
Factors that Affect the Rate of Solvation
1.Agitate the solution (stirring)
2. increase the temperature of solvent
3. increase the surface area of the solute
SOLUBILITY – refers to the maximum amount of solute that will dissolve in a given amount of solvent (at a specified temperature and pressure)
saturated – a solution that contains the maximum amount of dissolved solute (for a given temp & pressure than a saturated solution)
unsaturated – a solution that contains less dissolved solute (for a given temp & pressure than a saturated solution)
Units of Solubility
g of solute
100 g water
read these units as:
“grams of solute per 100 grams of water”
Here are some for you to try.
What mass of solute will dissolve in 100mL of water at the following temperatures. Also determine which of the three substances is most soluble in water at 15°C.
1. KNO3at 70°C
2. NaCl at 100°C
3. NH4Cl at 90°C
supersaturated – a solution that contains more dissolved solute than a saturated solution at the same temperature
- is above the solubility curve
solute will usually precipitate out of solution
Radioactivity• There are two main types of radioactivity:
Natural and Induced
Natural Radioactivity• Occurs in nature
• Usually large, unstable nuclei
• Occurs in three ways:
– Particle (alpha particle)
– Particle (beta particle)
– Ray (gamma ray)
Alpha Decay
• A helium nucleus is released from the nucleus. ( )– The mass decreases by 4– The atomic number decreases by 2
(Because the He nucleus has 2p+ and 2no)
• Alpha radiation can be stopped by a piece of paper. Cannot penetrate skin. Not dangerous.
He4

Alpha Decay Example
Notice that the uranium has changed into a new element, thorium.

Beta Decay
• An electron is released from the nucleus when a neutron becomes a proton.
• The mass is unaffected. (the mass of a neutron is roughly equal to the mass of a proton)
• The atomic number is increased by 1.
• Harder to stop and more dangerous.

Notice that carbon has changed into nitrogen.
Gamma Decay• Pure energy is released from the nucleus.
• The mass and atomic number are unaffected.
• Stopped by lead. The most harmful to living tissue.
Gamma Decay Example

No new element formed. Gamma radiation (energy) released.
Induced Radioactivity• Particles are slammed together to cause
transmutation of stable elements. (Nuclear Bombardment)
• Discovered by Rutherford in 1919.

Average Atomic Mass(How the number ends up on the periodic table!!)
1st Mass of one isotope x % abundance
in decimal form (watch SIG FIGS!!)
2nd Do this for each isotope of that element
3rd Add all individual isotopes
together to get the average atomic
mass of the element.
