1. Importance of Chemistry
- Chemistry is the branch of science that studies the composition, structure, properties, and transformation of matter.
- It helps in understanding:
- Composition of substances and their changes during chemical reactions.
- The role of chemicals in daily life — medicines, fertilizers, food preservatives, detergents, etc.
- Industrial processes like petrochemicals, metallurgy, and polymers.
- Environmental studies — ozone depletion, greenhouse effect, etc.
2. Laws of Chemical Combination
(i) Law of Conservation of Mass
- Mass can neither be created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction.
- Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products.
Example:
H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl
(Mass of H₂ + Cl₂ = Mass of 2HCl)
(ii) Law of Definite Proportions
- A chemical compound always contains the same elements in the same fixed ratio by mass.
Example:
Water (H₂O) → H:O = 1:8 by mass.
(iii) Law of Multiple Proportions
- When two elements combine to form more than one compound, the masses of one element that combine with a fixed mass of the other are in simple whole-number ratios.
Example:
CO and CO₂ → Oxygen masses ratio = 1:2.
(iv) Law of Gaseous Volumes (Gay-Lussac’s Law)
- Gases react together in simple whole-number ratios by volume under similar conditions of temperature and pressure.
Example:
H₂ + Cl₂ → 2HCl
(1 volume + 1 volume → 2 volumes)
(v) Avogadro’s Law
- Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
3. Dalton’s Atomic Theory
- All matter is made up of indivisible particles called atoms.
- Atoms of the same element are identical in mass and properties.
- Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.
- Compounds are formed by the chemical combination of atoms in fixed ratios.
- Chemical reactions involve rearrangement of atoms.
4. Mole Concept and Molar Mass
Mole
- 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ particles (Avogadro’s number).
- It represents atoms, molecules, ions, or electrons.
Molar Mass
- The mass of one mole of a substance.
- Units: g/mol
Example:- 1 mole H₂O = 18 g
- 1 mole O₂ = 32 g
Number of moles (n):
n=Given mass (g)/ Molar mass (g/mol)

5. Empirical and Molecular Formula
- Empirical formula: Shows the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.
- Molecular formula: Shows the actual number of atoms in one molecule.
Relationship: Molecular formula=(Empirical formula)n\text{Molecular formula} = (\text{Empirical formula})_nMolecular formula=(Empirical formula)n
where n=Molar mass/Empirical formula mass
Example:
Empirical formula = CH₂
Molar mass = 56
Empirical formula mass = 14
⇒ n = 4
⇒ Molecular formula = C₄H₈
6. Stoichiometry and Limiting Reagent
Stoichiometry
- It deals with quantitative relationships between reactants and products in a chemical reaction.
Example: 2H2+O2→2H2O
- 2 moles of H₂ react with 1 mole of O₂ to form 2 moles of H₂O.
Limiting Reagent
- The reactant that is completely consumed first and limits the amount of product formed.
Example:
If 5 mol H₂ react with 2 mol O₂:
According to reaction, 2 mol H₂ needs 1 mol O₂.
For 5 mol H₂, O₂ required = 2.5 mol.
Available O₂ = 2 mol → Limiting reagent = O₂.
7. Percentage Composition
Percentage of element=Mass of element in 1 mol compound/Molar mass of compound×100
Example:
Find % of H and O in H₂O.
Molar mass = 18 g
H = 2 g, O = 16 g
%H = (2/18) × 100 = 11.11%
%O = (16/18) × 100 = 88.89%
