Q

What is heat capacity?

A

the amount of heat needed to change it’s temperature by a degree

C = q/(Tf - Ti)
C = c*(mass of substance)
C = Cm*(moles of substance)
C = change in H/(Tf - Ti)

Q

How do you read a graph like the one in Lab 1?

A

to get the extrapolated temperature Te, you must extrapolate (using a straight line through the decreasing temperatures) back to the y axis where t = 0

then setting Tf equal to Te you can calculate (Tf - Ti)

Q

What is a spectrometer?

A

the light from the source is split into a narrow range of wavelengths passed through a sample

some of that must be absorbed

a function A called absorbance is directly related to the amount of absorbance

a larger A value means that more of the incident light is absorbed

Q

What are the reactions involved in the formation of KAl(SO4)2*12H2O?

A

first the metal scraps of aluminum will be dissolved by a reaction with hot potassium hydroxide
Al + KOH + H2O —> K + Al(OH)4- + H2

next sulfuric acid is added, initially a white solid Al(OH)3 is formed
Al(OH)4- + H2SO4 —> Al(OH)3 + H2O + SO4

however, the Al(OH)3 undergoes further reaction
Al(OH)3 + H2O —> Al + SO4 + H2O

Q

What are the reactions are involved in determining how much phosphate is in fertilizer?

A

a known mass of fertilizer will be mixed with water to dissolve the ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (the actual phosphate containing material present rather than P2O5)

excess magnesium sulfate solution is added (with ammonia to adjust the pH) to form MgNH4PO4*6H2O

this solid is isolated through filtration and weighed

Q

How would you convert your mass of MgNH4PO4*6H2O to the equivalent mass of P2O5?

A

the two substances are linked by:
P2O5 (cited by the manufacturer) —> (NH4)H2PO4 (actual fertilizer) —> MgNH4PO4*6H2O (your product)

in your calculation of the equivalent mass of P2O5 you do not have to balance the complete reaction to obtain the relevant mole ratio

Q

What is the experimental procedure for measuring the formation of KAl(SO4)2*12H2O?

A

cut up the aluminum scrap and clean and dry a 250 mL beaker

in the fume hood, add 50 mL of 0.5 M KOH solution to the beaker

filter particles out of the solution

acidify the solution by slowly adding 20 mL of 6M H2SO4, heat the mixture gently

17
Q

What is the experimental procedure for measuring phosphorus in fertilizer?

A

weigh a clean and dry 150 mL beaker, then weigh 2 to 3 grams of fertilizer into it

add about 40 mL of water to the beaker

add approximately 30 mL of 0.4M MgSO4 solution to the beaker with fertilizer

extract and dry the percipiates

18
Q

What is Vitamin C?

A

is water soluble due to formation of hydrogen bonds between its (-OH) and (C = O) groups and the (-OH) of the solvent molecules

19
Q

What are the reactions involved in the titration with KIO3?

A

the iodate anion reacts with I- and H+ to form I2
IO3- + 5I- +6H —> 3I2 + 3H2O

once formed, I2 is reduced immediately by Vitamin C back to I-, as each I2 reacts with one C6H8O6 molecule, each IO3- that is added results in the reaction of three C6H8O6 molecules

after all the vitamin C in the sample has been consumed, the I2 (from the addition of one more iodate) reacts rapidly with I- to form the linear triiodide ion I3-
I2 + I- —> I3-

I3 - will react promptly with starch to form a blue-black starch triiodide ion complex, this color change indicates the endpoint

20
Q

What are the reactions involved in the titration with NaOH?

A

in this titration, vitamin C reacts in a 1:1 mole ratio

21
Q

How do you compare the titration results of the KIO3 and NaOH titrations?

A

moles of vitamin C in aliquot = 3*(moles of iodate added to reach the endpoint)

moles of acidic protons in aliquot = moles of NaOH added to reach the endpoint

22
Q

What are the trends of atomic radii and metallic character on the periodic table?

A

atomic radii decrease left to right, increase top to bottom

metallic character decreases left to right, increases down a group

23
Q

What are chemical bonding?

A

an ionic bond forms when metal (lose electrons easily) combines with a nonmetal (gain electrons easily)

a covalent forms when the electrons are shared by the two bonded elements

24
Q

What is electronegativity?

A

measure of an atom’s ability to attract the bonding electron density to itself in a molecule

increases from left to right along a period, decreases down a group

bonding in a binary compound involving a metal and nonmetal to be primarily ionic if electronegativity difference is greater than approximately 2

25
Q

What are intermolecular forces?

A

forces between adjacent molecules

26
Q

What is hydrogen bonding?

A

occur between hydrogen in a bond with an electronegative atom such as N, O, F

27
Q

What is the conductivity of ionic and covalent compounds?

A

ionic compounds are generally good electrolytes in aqueous solutions since they dissociate in water

covalent molecules don’t dissociate

28
Q

Which solutions are acidic or basic?

A

ionic oxides are basic

covalent oxides are acidic

29
Q

What is the Bohr Atomic Model?

A

En = -z^2*Rh/n^2

z: the atomic number (number of protons)
Rh: Rydberg constant
n: electron layer

30
Q

What is phase energy?

A

Eph = Ef -Ei = Z^2*Rh(1/nf^2 * 1/ni^2)

Eph = hv = hc/wavelength

Eph: is the energy of the released photon

h: Plank’s constant
v: frequency
c: light speed in vacuum

31
Q

How would you calculate the third ionization energy of lithium in kJ/mol if you had the constants of Rh, h, and c?

A

Use the Bohr Atomic Model formula
(En = -z^2*Rh/n^2) to find the energy for one atom

to find one mole you multiply by Avogadro’s number

32
Q

How would you calculate photon wavelength resulted from transferring electron from n=5 to n=4 in Li2+?

A

Use the phase energy formula (Eph = z^2*Rh(1/nf^2 * 1/ni^2) ) to find Eph

rearrange the formula Eph = hc/wavelength to solve for the wavelength

33
Q

What formulas would you use to calculate the specific heat capacity of an unknown liquid?

A

m(unknown) = Density * volume

m(known) * c(known) * (Tf - Ti) = m(unknown) * c(unknown) * (Tf - Ti)
