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
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)
How do you calculate Percent (%) Mass?
Percent % Mass=
mass of ONE element / TOTAL mass of cpd
x 100%
What is “Theoretical Yield?”
amt of product (in g) that would be produced IF rxn ran to 100% completion
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
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)

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)
Anti Bonding vs Bonding orbitals
- Which kind is HIGHER in energy?

ANTI bonding
Ionic cpds have a hi/lo BP
High
Ionic cpds are ___at room temp
solid
Carbonate
CO32-
Coordinate Covalent bonds: what do the donor and recipient molecules need to have?
donor: one LPrecipient: needs empty orbital
CHLORITE**
ClO2-
Isotope definition
different version of the same atom, with different # neutrons
NITRATE**
NO3-
Radioactive decay common in what kinds of questions? (2)
Conservation of momentumreverse collisions
Per coulombs law, smaller atoms have what?
Greater Force
