COMPETENCIES

GENERAL CHEMISTRY 1
 1. Use properties of matter to identify
substances and to separate them.

2. Recognize the formulas of common

chemical substances.

3. Compare consumer products on the basis

of their components for use, safety, quality
and cost
 4. Compare consumer products on the basis of
their components for use, safety, quality and
cost.

5. Describe various simple separation techniques

such as distillation, chromatography
 6. Recognize common isotopes and their uses.

7. Represent compounds using chemical formulas,

structural formulas and models.

8. Name compounds given their formula and write

formula given the name of the compound
 9. Calculate the empirical formula from the
percent composition of a compound

10. Calculate molecular formula given molar mass

11. Write and balanced chemical equations

 12. Construct mole or mass ratios for a reaction in order
to calculate the amount of reactant needed or amount of
product formed in terms of moles or mass

13. Calculate percent yield and theoretical yield of the reaction

14. Explain the concept of limiting reagent in a chemical

reaction; identify the excess reagent(s)
 15. (LAB) Determine mass relationship in a
chemical reaction

16. Define pressure and give the common units of pressure

17. Use the gas laws to determine pressure, volume,

or temperature of a gas under certain conditions of
change
 18. Use the ideal gas equation to calculate pressure,
volume, Temperature, or number of moles of a gas

19. Use Dalton’s law of partial pressures to relate mole fraction

and partial pressure of gases in a mixture
20. Apply the principles of stoichiometry to determine the
amounts (volume, number of moles, or mass) of gaseous reactants
and products

Properties of
Matter
 Intensive and
Extensive Properties
 Extensive
❖Properties that do depend on
the amount of matter present.
Ex. Mass, weight, volume, length
 Intensive
❖ Properties that do not depend on
the amount of the matter present.

Ex. Color , odor, hardness melting/freezing

point, boiling point, density, malleability,
luster
 Density
Density = mass (g)
volume (mL)
L

Volume can either be determined by the water displacement method

or V = L x W x H (units will be cubic centimeters cm3)

 Density
Density = mass (g)
volume (mL

Example: Calculate the density in g/mL of aluminum if a 50 mL

block weighs 135 g
 Density
Density = mass (g)
volume (mL

Solution:
Apply the definition:
135g
Density =
= 2.70 g/ mL
50mL
