Chemistry 1 Flashcards
Effect on equilibrium:
Changing TEMP if the rxn is EXOthermic
CHANGES Keq
shifts equilibrium
increase temp=
- shifts left
- Keq decreases
decrease temp=
shifts right
Keq increases
PT trends: trend for most metallic/gives up VE easiest
to the left and down=most metallic & most willing to give up its ve
- Define “Work Function”
- bombarding metals with (sufficient) energy
causes valence electrons to be ejected
If you add MORE energy than Work Energy ( “ φ “), what happens?
- the energy is transferred
…into the KE of the ejected valence electron
Periodic Table
- Where is the S-BLOCK?
the first 2 columns

WORK FUNCTION
- Give the formula
KE=hf - φ
or KE=E - φ
(since E=hf)
Think of NEUTRONS as:
PROTON + ELECTRON
How do you calculate Percent (%) Mass?
Percent % Mass=
mass of ONE element / TOTAL mass of cpd
x 100%
Think of METALS as:
LARGER atoms with LOOSELY held electrons
What is “Theoretical Yield?”
amt of product (in g) that would be produced IF rxn ran to 100% completion
Elements in the same FAMILY have…
similar CHEMICAL and PHYSICAL properties
Finding the LIMITING REAGENT
- What 2 things MUST you do BEFORE you can go about finding the limiting reagent?
- Once these 2 things are done, what are the 2 steps to finding the limiting reagent?

You MUST:
- Have a balanced equation
- Convert to moles first
STEPS:
- Compare # of moles YOU have to # moles REQUIRED TO RUN THE REACTION
- as indicated by coefficients
- The reactant you run out of FIRST:
= the limiting reagent
- Metals like to ____ e’s and form___
- Metals are (3 physical properties)
- What are metals’ conductive properties?
Metals like to LOSE ELECTRONS and form CATIONS
Metals are:
- lustrous
- ductile
- malleable
Metals are good conductors of heat AND electricity
What qualifies something as a good “Electrolyte?”
-
Covalent cpds that dissociate 100% in water are GOOD electrolytes
- ex: SA’s & SB’s are good electrolytes
ALL IONIC compounds that are water soluble are GOOD electrolytes
Recognizing Compounds:
Sulfate
SO42-
Yield is a function of what 2 things?
Addition of what NEVER increases yield?
- Yield is a function of: R
- Reactants
- Equilibrium
NOT Rate!
- Adding a catalyst with increase rate, but not yield
Define “Radioactive Decay”
the process by which UNSTABLE atoms change their chemical composition over time
- Element symbols
- Z=
- Atomic NUMBER
- (number of protons)

Will NaCl or KCl have a higher CONDOSITY?
Why?
KCl
because K is more METALLIC than Na
- therefore is a better conductor
To get a MOLECULAR formula (NOT Empirical!) from Percent Mass:
- What do you need?
- How do you do it?
You need the MW of the unknown!
- Divide MW of unknown by MW of the empirical formula
- which should be a whole number
- Multiply each subscript by that #
- …to get the molecular formula
What is the definition of “Atomic Weight?”
is the mass of 1 mol of any atom (g/mol)
What are the 2 adjustements to Bohr Model?
- Electrons have dual nature–
- act as a wave AND a particle
- ex: light
- act as a wave AND a particle
- E’s DONT orbit in circular fashion
- i.e., s,p,d, & f have DISTINCT shapes
Anti Bonding vs Bonding orbitals
- Which kind is HIGHER in energy?

ANTI bonding
What does the “Pauli Exclusion Principle” state?”
- NO 2 e’s can have the exact same 4 quantum numbers
They CAN have UP TO 3 identical numbers
but they will have different spin states (4th quantum #)
