CHM 142 final exam Flashcards
rate of dissappearance
reactants
-[Concentration of reactants]/change in time
rate of appearance
products
[concentration of products]/change in time (s)
the rate of appearance of one molecule—the rate of disappearance of another molecule
equals
equation to find rates of change for a reaction
-1/a([A]/change in time)=1/b([B]/change in time)
general rate law
R= k[A]^x[B]^y
what can affect the value of k (rate constant)
temperature
when a reaction depends on a single reactant to the first order
first order reactions
integrated rate law (1st order)
ln[A]=-kt+ln[A]initial
what does a first order graph look like?
linear line
when a reaction depends on one reactant to the 2nd order or two first order reactants
second order reaction
integrated rate law (2nd order)
1/[A]=kt+1/[A]initial
what does a second order graph look like?
a curved line
integrated rate law (0th order)
[A]=-kt+[A]initial
what does a zeroth order graph look like?
Horizontal line
1st order half life
.693/K
2nd order half life
1/(K*[A]0)
rate laws relate—and—
rate and concentration
integrated rate laws relate—and —
time and concentration
the minimum E required to intiate a chemical reaction
Activation energy
the higher the value of E the — rate
slower
Arrhenius equation
k= Ae^(-Ea/RT)
determining the activation E with one rate constant
ln(k)=-Ea/RT +ln(A)
determining the activation E with two rate constants
ln(k1/k2)=-Ea/R(1/T2-1/T1)
if a reaction has a slow first step what determines the rate of the reaction?
the rate law of the slow first step
what is the equation for finding the eq. constant (K)
Keq = [D]^d*[C]^c/[A]^a[B]^b
How do you find the equilibrium constant for gases? (Kp)
= Kc(RT)^change in n
n = moles gas product= moles gas reactant R =.08206
True or false concentrations of reactants and products have to be the same during equilibrium?
false, they have to be stoichiometrically equivalent
If K»1 the reaction favors—
the products, lies to the right
If K < 1 the reaction favors—
the reactants, lies to the left
If you are perfoming Hess’s law like calculations to find Kp or Keq name some of the differences between doing it originally and doing it with eq constants
- if you need to ‘flip the sign’ dont flip the sign of the value, inverse it (1/x)
- if you multiply a reaction you put the Keq or Kp to that numer (3x = Keq^3)
- at the end you multiply the Keqs and Kps together, not add
Are pure solids and liquids included in eq constants?
no, their values are 1
Reaction Quotient (Q)
calculated like K but concentrations from any point in the reaction can used, not just at eq.
when Q»k the reaction…
shifts left
when Q«K the reaction…
shifts right
how will the reaction shift if volume is increased?
towards the side of the reaction that produces more moles
If heat is added to an exothermic reaction how will the reaction shift?
to the left, reactants
If heat is added to an endothermic reaction how will the reaction shift?
to the right, to the products
Do catalysts affect the values of Keq
no, only how fast it is reached
Buffer
a solution that contains an acid and its weak base that has resistance to pH change
Henderson Hasselbalch equation
pH=Pka + log [base]/[acid]
When choosing a buffer, choose one with a — about equal to the desired —
Pka, pH
If a strong base is titrated with a weak acid is the starting pH high or low?
High, strong base has high pH
If a strong acid is titrated with a weak base does the eq point occur just below or just above a pH of 7
below, start with a low pH
Does the presence of commmon ions increase or decrease the solubility
decrease because the ion will dissolve less than it normally would with a common ion
Do the formation of complex ions increase or decrease solubility?
Increase by forming metal ion + lewis base
Metal oxides and hydroxides that are relatively insoluble in water but are soluble in strongly acidic and strongly basic solutions are said to be—
Amphoteric
If Q>ksp the solution is —
super saturated
If Q<Ksp the solution is—
unsaturated
If Q=Ksp the solution is —
saturated
Change in Free energy equation
concerning standard gibbs free E
standard gibbs free E +RTln(Q)
Change in free energy
enthalpy and entropy
Change in H-Tchange in S
transition metal complexes
transition metal + ligand
charged = complex ion
ligands
concerning metal complexes
bonding molecule to the metal ion
- usually polar or an anion
- must have one pair of unpaired electrons
werners theory
every transition metal has a primary valence and a secondary valence
primary valence
oxidation state
secondary valence
coordination number
why do the transition metals after 6B start to increase in size
metallic bonding strength decreases as anitbonding orbitals are filled so it cancels out effective nuclear charge and size increases
Lanthanide contraction
periods 5 and 6
this is why we dont see the expected increase in radius size in the second half of the transition metals, the filling of the 4f orbitals decrease radius size
Transition metals lose their — orbitals first
S orbitals
then d orbitals
all spins are paired, weakly repulsed in a magnetic field, generally not considerd magnetic
diamagnetic
unpaired electrons where the spins are not affected by surrounding atoms, weakly attracted in a magnetic field
paramagnetic
ferromagnetism
- stronger than paramagnetism
- all spins align parallel to the magnetic field
- create permenant magnet
