Some basic concept of Chemistry notes - 2

LAW OF CHEMICAL COMBINATIONS:

1)Law of Conservation of Mass:

It states that "matter can neither be created nor destroyed".

2)Law of Definite Proportions:

 It stated that "a given compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by weight".

Example : Oxygen and hydrogen in water always bear ratio of 16:2 or 8:1 by mass.

3)Law of Multiple Proportions:

According to this law, "if two elements can combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other element, are in the ratio of small whole numbers".

Example

Hydrogen + Oxygen — Water
2g                       16g            18g 

Hydrogen + Oxygen — Hydrogen Peroxide
  2g                      32g                 34g

Here, the masses of oxygen (i.e. 16 g and 32 g) which combine with a fixed mass of hydrogen (2g) bear a simple ratio, i.e. 16:32 or 1: 2.

4)Gay Lussac's Law of Gaseous Volumes:

when gases combine or are produced in a chemical reaction they do so in a simple ratio by volume provided all gases are at same temperature and pressure.

Example:
Hydrogen + Oxygen — Water
  100 mL          50 mL      100 mL

Thus,
the volumes of hydrogen and oxygen which combine together (i.e. 100 mL and 50 mL) bear a simple ratio of 2:1

5)Avogadro Law:

Avogadro proposed that equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure should contain equal number of molecules.

Example .
Hydrogen + Oxygen — Water

we see that two volumes of hydrogen combine with one volume of oxygen to give two volumes of water without leaving any unreacted oxygen.


DALTON'S ATOMIC THEORY:

1. Matter consists of indivisible atoms.
2. All the atoms of a given element have identical properties including identical mass. Atoms of different elements differ in mass.

3. Compounds are formed when atoms of different elements combine in a fixed ratio.

4. Chemical reactions involve reorganization of atoms. These are neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction.

5.Dalton's theory could explain the laws of chemical combination.
