(53 cards)
First law of thermodynamics
energy cannot be created or destroyed
Second law of thermodynamics
the entropy of the universe is increasing
Molarity
moles of solute/ L of solution
molality
moles of solute/ kg solvent
weight percent
(mass of compound x/ total mass) x 100% ( no units)
aufbau principle
order filled in (think diagonal)
pauli exclusion principal
no 2 electrons can have the same 4 quantum numbers
Hunds rule
fill all with spin up before doubling up
Pauling scores of fluorine, carbon, and hydrogen
F = 4.0, C = 2.5, H =2.1
Combustion
A combustion reaction always has oxygen as one reactant
Synthesis
A synthesis reaction is a chemical reaction where two reactants combine to create a new, more complex product.
A + B –> C
Decomposition
AB –> A + B
Double replacement
those in which two ionic compounds exchange their ions
single replacement
a reaction in which one element is substituted for another element in a compound.
precipitation
one in which dissolved substances react to form one (or more) solid products
Acid- Base
look for a chemical reaction where one reactant (the acid) donates a hydrogen ion (H+) to another reactant (the base), typically forming water (H2O) and a salt as products
redox
a chemical reaction that involves the transfer of electrons between two substances
Third law of thermodynamics
change in S = 0 at 0 Kelvin for perfect crystalline solid
(the entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the tempreature approches absolute zero)
omit solids and liquid when…
calculating q and k
Le Chatelier principle
if a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium shifts to counteract the change to reestablish an equilibrium
Arrhenius Bronsted-Lowry
acid dissociates to produce hydrogen ions in water. A base produces hydroxide ions in water. In the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a proton donor. A base is a proton acceptor
JJ Thompson
Cathode Ray experiment, discovered the electron, particles in the charged tube bent towards positive charged side
Ernest Rutherford
gold foil experiment, fired particles at gold foil, some passed tyhrough other bounced off, conclusion that atoms have mass in the nucleus
formal charge
= (# of valence electrons) - ( # of lone electrons) - (# of bonds)
