Dalton's Atomic Theory posits that atoms are the smallest neutral particles of elements, which combine in whole number ratios to form molecules. Modern views recognize that atoms can be divided into subatomic particles and can combine in non-whole number ratios, as seen in isotopes and non-stoichiometric compounds. Avogadro's Law states that equal volumes of gases contain equal numbers of molecules under the same conditions, leading to the definition of the mole as a unit representing 6.023 x 10^23 particles.

DALTON’S ATOMIC THEORY
An atom is the smallest particle of an element
which is neutral in nature, retains all the proper-
ties of the element and takes part in a chemical
reaction. The word atom was introduced by Dalton
(alamos means undivided).
‘The Dalton’s atomic theory was proposed by
Dalton on the basis of laws of chemical combi-
‘nation,
Main Assumptions
= Matter (of any type) is composed of atoms.
= An atom is the smallest, fundamental, undivided
Particle.
= An atom can neither be created nor destroyed.
= Atoms of an clement have similar size, energy
and properties while atoms of different element
differ in these aspects
= Atoms combine in whole number ratios to form
a molecule, therefore, a molecule is the smallest
identity that exists individually.
Modern view about the atom
According to the modem view:
= An atom is divisible into other smaller par-
ticles which are known as subatomic particles
It can also combine in non-whole number ratio
as in the case of non-stoichiometric compounds
(Berthollide compounds) like Fe, ,,O.
= Atoms of same element also differ in mass and
mass related properties as in the ease of isotopes1.2 _™ Mole Concept and Stoichiometry
Molecule ‘he term molecule was introduced by
Avogadro, It is the smallest particle (identity) of mat-
ter that can exist independently and retains all the
properties of the substance. Normally, the diameter
of the molecules is in the range of 4~20 A and the
molecular mass is between 2-100. In case of macro-
molecules, the diameter is in the range of 50-250 A
and the molecular weight may be in lakhs
Berzelius Hypothesis According to the Berze-
lius hypothesis, “Equal volumes of all the gases contain
same number of atoms under the similar conditions of
temperature and pressure.” This hypothesis on applica
tion to law of combining volume confirms that atoms
are divisible which is in contrary to Dalton’s theory.
AVOGADRO’S LAW
= Avogadro's law explains law of combining
volumes,
= According to this law, “Under similar conditions of
temperature and pressure, equal volume of gases
contain equal number of molecules.”
It means 10 ml of H,, ©,, Nor a mixture of gases
have same number of molecules

8 The weight of one litre sample of ozonized oxy-
gen at NTP was found to be 1.5 g. When 100 ml
of this mixture at NTP were treated with terpen-
tine oil, the volume was reduced to 90 ml. Hence
calculate the molecular weight of ozone.
Solution Volume absorbed by terpentine oil = 10 ml
As volume of ozone = 10 ml (as terpentine oil
absorbed O,)Mole Conce pt and Stoichiometry = 1.5
So Volume of O, = 100-10 = 90

Number of moles of H,
‘Number of moles of O, = 3 = 0.3125 moles
As 2 moles of H, reacts with 1 mole of O, to
form 2 moles of H,O so, for 1 mole of H, only
0.3125 moles of ©, is present. Thus O, is the limit-
ing reagent here.

Chemical Equations and Numerical
Calculations
= A balanced chemical reaction represents a stoi-
chiometric equation.
= Ina stoichiometric equation, the coefficient of
reactants and products represents their stoichio-
metric amounts.
= The reactant which is completely used dur-
ing an irreversible reaction is called limiting
reagent while the reactant left is called excess
reagent.
For example, if 20 g of calcium is burnt in
32 gof O, then Ca is limiting reagent while O, is
excess reagent
= Stoichiometric calculations help in finding
whether the production of a particular substance
is economically cheap or not
= These stoichiometric calculations are of follow-
ing four types
(a) Calculations based on weight: weight rela-
tionship
(b) Calculations based on weight: volume rela-
tionships.
(c) Calculations based on volume: volume
relationships
(@) Calculations based on weight: volume —
energy relationships
= If the amount of the reactant in a particular reac-
tion is known, then the amount of the other sub-
stance needed in the reaction or the amount of the
product formed in the reaction can be found out
= For stoichiometric calculations, the following
steps must be considered:
(a) A balanced chemical equation using chemi-
cal formulas of reactants and products must
be written.
(b) Here the coefficients of balanced chemical
equation provide the mole ratio of the reac-
tants and products
(© This mole ratio is convertible into weight —
Weight ratio (w/W), weight —volume (W/V) ratio
‘or volume volume (v/V) ratio, These are called

Gi) Volume-Volume relation
(i) Problems Involving Mass—Mass or
Weight-Weight Relationship

(which are calculated from the respective molecu-
lar formula) below the respective formula.

‘This relationship relates the mass of a reactant or
product with the volume of another gaseous reac-
tant o product involved in a chemical reaction
For example,
Weight of a solid substance can be compared with
the volume of gases with the help of the fact that 1
mole or | gram molecule of a gas occupies 22.4 litres
or 22400 cc. at NTP. So in brief, the weight-volume
relationship can be represented as follows:

equation (s).

and products
m Gases are normally expressed in terms of vol-
umes In case the volume of the gas is measured
at the room temperature and pressure (that is, any
condition other than NTP), convert it into N.T.P.
by applying gas laws.
‘The volume of a gas at any temperature and pres-
sure can be converted into its weight an vice versa
by using this relation,

Here g is weight of gas, M is molecular weight
of gas and R is gas constant

(iii) Problems Based on Volume-Volume
Relationship
Thisrelationship relates the volume of gaseous reactant
or product with the volume of another gaseous reactant
orproduct involved in a chemical reaction, For solving
such problems, one should proceed according to the
following instructions given below:
@ First write down the relevant balanced chemical
equation.
= Now write down the volume of reactants and prod-
ucts below the formula to each reactant and prod-
uct using the fact that one gram molecule of every
gaseous substance occupies 22.4 litres at [Link].
= If volume of the gas is measured under particular
or room temperature, convert it to NLP. with the
help of ideal gas equation.
= Now use Avogadro's hypothesis “gases under simi-
lar eonditions of temperature and pressure contain
the same number of molecules”. Thus under similar
conditions of temperature and pressure, the volume
of reacting gases are proportional to the number of
moles of the gases in the balanced equation.
Example,
N, (g) + 3H,(g) — 2NH,(g)
1 mole 3 moles 2 moles
22.4 lit 3x 224 1it 2x 224 lit
I volume 3 volumes 2volumes
Ixvolume 3%volume 2.x volumes
From the above equation, it is clear that 22.4
litres of N, will react with 322.4 litres of H, to
form 2%22.4 litres of NH,.
