Chem Final Flashcards
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
