Q

gram equivalent weight

A

where n is the number of protons, hydroxide ions, electrons, or monovalent ions “ produced” or “ consumed” per molecule of the compound in the reaction.

For example, you would need 49 grams of H2SO4 (molar mass = 98 g/mol) to produce one equivalent of hydrogen ions, because each molecule of H2SO4 can donate two hydrogen ions (n = 2).

Q

What is the molarity of a 1 N acid solution consisting of dissolved HCl?

….of H2SO4?

A

In a 1 N acid solution consisting of dissolved HCl, the molarity of HCl is 1 M because HCl is a monoprotic acid,

but if the dissolved acid is H2SO4, then the molarity of H2SO4 in a 1 N acid solution is 0.5 M, because H2SO4 is a diprotic acid.

Q

For problems involving the determination of the limiting reactant, you must keep in mind two principles

A
  1. All comparisons of reactants must be done in units of moles. Gram-to-gram comparisons will be useless and maybe even misleading.

  1. It is not the absolute mole quantities of the reactants that determine which reactant is the limiting reactant. Rather, the rate at which the reactants are consumed (the stoichiometric ratios of the reactants) combined with the absolute mole quantities determines which reactant is the limiting reactant.

Q

bomb calorimeter (decompression vessel)

A

A sample of matter, typically a hydrocarbon, is placed in the steel decomposition vessel, which is then filled with almost pure O2 gas. The decomposition vessel is then placed in an insulated container holding a known mass of water. The contents of the decomposition vessel are ignited by an electric ignition mechanism. The material combusts (burns) in the presence of the oxygen, and the heat that evolves in the combustion is the heat of the reaction. Because W = PΔ V, no work is done in an isovolumic (Δ V = 0) process, so Wcalorimeter = 0. Furthermore, because of the insulation, the whole calorimeter can be considered isolated from the rest of the universe, so we can identify the “ system” as the sample plus the oxygen and steel vessel, and the surroundings as the water. Because no heat is exchanged between the calorimeter and the rest of the universe, Qcalorimeter is 0.

So, Δ Usystem + Δ Usurroundings = Δ Ucalorimeter = Qcalorimeter− Wcalorimeter = 0.

Therefore, Δ Usystem = − Δ Usurroundings.

Because no work is done, qsystem = − qsurroundings, and msteelcsteelΔ T + moxygencoxygenΔ T = − mwatercwaterΔ T.

51
Q

Specific heat

A

This equation is used to determine temperature after heat transfer. It is most commonly encountered in a calorimetry problem

52
Q

Enthalpy change

A

This equation is used to determine enthalpy change. It is most commonly used to determine whether a reaction is endothermic or exothermic.

53
Q

standard enthalpy of formation

A

, Δ H° f, is the enthalpy change that would occur if one mole of a compound in its standard state were formed directly from its elements in their respective standard states. Remember that standard state is the most stable physical state of an element or compound at 298 K and 1 atm. Note that Δ H° f of an element in its standard state, by definition, is zero. The Δ H° f of most known substances are tabulated.

54
Q

standard heat of a reaction

A

Δ H° rxn, is the hypothetical enthalpy change that would occur if the reaction were carried out under standard conditions. What this means is that all reactants must be in their standard states and all products must be in their standard states.

55
Q

Hess’s law

A

enthalpy changes of reactions are additive

56
Q

bond dissociation energies

A

Bond dissociation energy is the average energy that is required to break a particular type of bond between atoms in the gas phase (remember, bond dissociation is an endothermic process). Bond dissociation energy is given as kJ/mol of bonds broken.

57
Q

standard heat of combustion

A

Δ H° comb. Because measurements of enthalpy change require a reaction to be spontaneous and fast, combustion reactions are the ideal process for such measurements.

usually in precense of O2 but keep in mind there are others: F2 (for example)

58
Q

60
Q

A
61
Q

63
Q

Gibbs Free Energy

A

This state function is a combination of the two that we’ve just examined: enthalpy and entropy.

64
Q

When is a reaction spontaneous with respect to Δ G ?

A
  1. If Δ G is negative, the reaction is spontaneous.
  2. If Δ G is positive, the reaction is nonspontaneous.
  3. If Δ G is zero, the system is in a state of equilibrium; thus Δ H = TΔ S
65
Q

How do the signs on Δ H and Δ S and temperature affect the spontaneity?

A

Osmotic Pressure formula

A
76
Q

Osmotic Pressure Diagram

A

One compartment contains pure water, while the other contains water with dissolved solute. The membrane allows water but not solute to pass through. Because substances tend to flow, or diffuse, from higher to lower concentration (which results in an increase in entropy), water will diffuse from the compartment containing pure water into the compartment containing the water-solute mixture. This net flow will cause the water level in the compartment containing the solution to rise above the level in the compartment containing pure water

77
Q

Dilution

A

A solution is diluted when solvent is added to a solution of high concentration to produce a solution of lower concentration. The concentration of a solution after dilution can be conveniently determined using the equation:

where M is molarity, V is volume, and the subscripts i and f refer to the initial and final values, respectively.

78
Q

Solubility Product Constant

A

For the dissolution of an ionic solid,

The units of Ksp depend on the solid. The concentration of the ions is generally in units of molarity (mol/L).

This formula is used to determine Ksp or molar solubility. It is most often used in the context of the ion product.

79
Q

Ion Product (I.P.)

A

For the dissolution of an ionic solid,


The units of I.P. depend on the solid. The concentration of the ions is generally in units of molarity (mol/L).

I.P. is compared to Ksp to determine the behavior of a solution.

80
Q

When will a solution precipitate?

A

If the solution is supersaturated, Qsp > Ksp, precipitation will occur.

If the solution is unsaturated, Qsp < Ksp, the solute will continue to dissolve.

If the solution is saturated, Qsp = Ksp, then the solution is at equilibrium.

81
Q

What is the Ksp expression for the following, respectively

  • AgCl
  • ZnF2
  • Fe(OH)3

Also, what is the condtion of its use?

A
  • AgCl: Ksp = x2
  • ZnF2: Ksp = 4x3
  • Fe(OH)3: Ksp = 27x4

Condition: can only use if ther is not a common ion (ie: Cl- is in solution already from a different souce)

82
Q

Solubility rules

A

Ksp >> 1: soluble

Ksp << 1: insoluble

_Always soluble: _

  • Group 1 metal salts
  • Amonium salts
  • Nitrate salts
83
Q

If the pH is increased, how dos the Ksp and molar solublity of CaCO2 (s) change?

A

CaCO3 –>/<– Ca2+ + CO32-

Careful! Ask yourself: do any of the reactants/products react with an acid or a base…

YES! CO32-

CO32- + H2O –>/<– HCO3- + OH-

If OH- increases (bc pH is increased), then CO32- will be increased in effect.

If CO32- concentration is increased, then then the molar solubility (S, x) will be decreased in effect.

NOTE: Ksp does not change (constant for a given rxn at a given temp). So answer: The Ksp does not change, and the molar solubility decreases.

84
Q

Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases

A

93
Q

Deviations of Ideal Gases Due to Temperature

A
  • intermolecular forces become more significant as temperatures decrease
  • reduced Temp: gas is closer to condensation point (same as boiling point, volume is less than ideal gas bc of intermolecular attraction
  • closer to gas’s bp: less ideal
  • Van Der Waals Correction: a=attraction
  • P+(n2a)*/V2 = nRT
94
Q

Deviations of Ideal Gases Due to PRESSURE

A
  • intermolecular forces become more significant as pressure increase
  • moderately high P (a few hundred atmospheres): gas’s volume is less than ideal gas bc of intermolecular attraction
  • extremely high P: size of particles is relatively large compared to distance between them, causing gas to take up larger volume than predicted by ideal
  • Van Der Waals Correction: a=attraction

  2. All salts of the ammonium ion (NH4+) are water soluble.
  3. All chlorides, bromides, and iodides are water soluble, with the exceptions of those formed with Ag+, Pb2+, and Hg22+.
  4. All salts of the sulfate ion (SO42− ) are water soluble, with the exceptions of those formed with Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+, and Pb2+.
  5. All metal oxides are insoluble, with the exception of those formed with the alkali metals and CaO, SrO, and BaO, all of which hydrolyze to form solutions of the corresponding metal hydroxides.
  6. All hydroxides are insoluble, with the exception of those formed with the alkali metals and Ca2+, Sr2+, and Ba2+.
  7. All carbonates (CO32− ), phosphates (PO43− ), sulfides (S2− ), and sulfites (SO32− ) are insoluble, with the exception of those formed with the alkali metals and ammonium.
102
Q

Ionic nomenclature

A

  1. For elements (usually metals) that can form more than one positive ion, the charge is indicated by a Roman numeral in parentheses following the name of the element.
  2. An older but still commonly used method is to add the endings -ous or -ic to the root of the Latin name of the element to represent the ions with lesser or greater charge, respectively.
  3. Monatomic anions are named by dropping the ending of the name of the element and adding -ide.
  4. Many polyatomic anions contain oxygen and are therefore called oxyanions. When an element forms two oxyanions, the name of the one with less oxygen ends in -ite and the one with more oxygen ends in -ate.
  5. When the series of oxyanions contains four oxyanions, prefixes are also used. Hypo- and per- are used to indicate less oxygen and more oxygen, respectively.
  6. Polyatomic anions often gain one or more H+ ions to form anions of lower charge. The resulting ions are named by adding the word hydrogen or dihydrogen to the front of the anion’s name. An older method uses the prefix bi- to indicate the addition of a single hydrogen ion.
103
Q

Electrolytes

A
  • A solute is considered a strong electrolyte if it dissociates completely into its constituent ions. (NaCl)
  • A weak electrolyte, on the other hand, ionizes or hydrolyzes incompletely in aqueous solution, and only some of the solute is dissolved into its ion constituents. (weak acids, weak bases)
  • Non-electrolytes: Many compounds do not ionize at all in aqueous solution, retaining their molecular structure in solution, which usually limits their solubility. (ie: glucose–dissolves but ring structure does not let it dissociate)
104
Q

Solubility Product Constant

A

For the dissolution of an ionic solid,

AmBn ↔ mAn+ + nBm-

Ksp = [An+]m [Bm-]n

*only dependent on temperature and solvent [KSP ISNOT AFFECTED BY COMMON ION EFFECT]

The units of Ksp depend on the solid. The concentration of the ions is generally in units of molarity (mol/L).

This formula is used to determine Ksp or molar solubility. It is most often used in the context of the ion product.

105
Q

Ion Product (I.P.)

A

For the dissolution of an ionic solid,

AmBn ↔ mAn+ + nBm-

I.P. = [An+]m [Bm-]n

  • is analogous to the reaction quotient Q for chemical reactions.
  • The ion product equation has the same form as the equation for the solubility product constant.
  • The difference: concentrations are of the ionic constituents at that given moment in time.
  • IS affected by common ions (acts as a stress on the system and can shift equilibrium without changing equilibrium constant

If the solution is supersaturated, Qsp > Ksp, precipitation will occur.

If the solution is unsaturated, Qsp < Ksp, the solute will continue to dissolve.

If the solution is saturated, Qsp = Ksp, then the solution is at equilibrium.

Q

Common Ksp values for slightly soluble salts

A
  • Formula: MX3
    Ksp=24x4
  • Formula: MX2
    Ksp=4x3
  • Formula: MX
    Ksp=x2

Q

What types of mixtures would have a higher vapor pressure than predicted by Raoults Law?

  • a) Two liquds of that have different properties
  • b) Two liquds of that have similar properties.
A

Two liquds of that have different properties.

Mixtures that have stronger solute-solute an solvent-solvent interactions than solute-solbent interactions are less likely to want to be together –> more likely to evaporate

ie: hexane (hydrophobic) and ethannol (hydrophilic)

Q

What forces act in solvation?

A

Solvation=the formation of a solvent shell around a solute molecule through electrostatic interactions.

Forces: ionic bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, van er Waals, hydrogen bonds

  • endothermic process (+∆H), +∆S generally

_*special case:_ enthalpy change tends to be negative (-∆H) with dissolution of gases bc gases have no intermolecular attractions; thus E is released when new intermolecular attractions are formed favored by low temps

Q

Kw

A

water dissociation equilibrium constant

at 298 Kw = 10-14 = [H3O+] [OH-]

as T increases, so does Kw, as a reult of endothermic nature of the auto-ionization reaction
