chemistry Flashcards
heisenberg uncertainty principle
the more we know about momentum of a particle, the less we know about position and vice versa
average kinetic energy of an ideal gas
3/2 RT
deviation of volume of real gasses compared to ideal gasses
V-real > V-ideal because real gas particles do have volume which is not accounted for in ideal gasses
deviation of pressure of a real gas compared to ideal gas
P-real < P-ideal because real gasses will have intermolecular forces which pull gas molecules inward.
Work
w=PdeltaV (pressure times change in volume)
average kinetic energy of a fluid
K.E. average = 3/2RT
enthalpy
Delta H = delta U + PdeltaV where U is internal energy
molality
moles of solute / kilograms of solvent
ppm
[ mass of solute / total mass of solution ] x 10^6
heat if heat capacity is given
q=CΔT C is heat capacity
heat if specific heat is given
q=mcΔT m is mass and c is specific heat
boiling point elevation
ΔT=Kbmi (kb=constant) m=molality
freezing point depression
ΔT=Kfmi (kf=constant) m = molality
osmotic pressure
Pi=iMRT M is molarity
henderson-hasselbalch equation (when to use it?)
pH at half equivalence point
pH=pka + log [A-]/[HA]
since [A-]=[HA], pH=pka
ΔG (electrochemical cells)
ΔG = -nFEmax ΔG= ΔG°+RT ln(Q) ΔG= ΔG°+RT ln(K)
Arrhenius acid
Produced H+ ions in aq soln
Arrhenius base
Produces hydroxide ions in aq soln
Brønsted-Lowry acid and base
Acids donate a proton
Base accepts a proton
Lewis acid and base
Acid accepts electron pair
Base donates electron pair
Acid dissociation constant ka
[H+][A-] / [HA]
Equilibrium constant for reaction of conjugate base with water kb
[OH-][HA] / [A-]
Best buffer pH
pH = pka
How to pick an indicator
Pick indicator with most similar pH
When does deltaG = 0
DeltaG is 0 at equilibrium
Triple point
Where a substance exists as solid liquid and gas
Critical temperature
Temperature above which a substance cannot liquify regardless of pressure
Critical pressure
Pressure required to produce liquefaction of substance at critical temperature
Supercritical fluid
Fluid beyond critical point. Has characteristics of both gas and liquid
