Dawn - CP - Flashcards
What is the phase shift in order to get complete destructive inteference?
destructive interference = 180 shift
When temperature increases, what direction does that shift equilibrium based on endo and exothermic reaction?
if DeltaH > 0 = endo = shift to product side
if DeltaH < 0 = exo = shift to reactant side
What does the reaction between sulfur dioxide and water produce?
Sulfurous acid (H2SO3)
Why would you have a reaction quotient that doesnt equal a Keq?
- If Keq = Q then youre in equilibrium, but if Q is smaller then you have more products
What does the Kp express? and how do we determine the mole fraction?
Kp = product partial pressure/ reactant partial pressure
- Take that value and then do a normal equilibrium calculation using partial pressures. Once you have the partial pressure, to find mole fraction divide partial pressure by total pressure (sum of partial pressures).
How can you tell which species is most likely to be a radical?
A radical is a species with one or more unpaired electrons, thus, an substance with an odd number of electrons could become a radical
What would make something a heterogenous vs homogenous catalyst?
- Heterogenous = catalyst is in a different phase than the reactants
- Homogenous = catalyst is in the same phase as the reactants
Which compound would be most effective in catalyzing the saponification of an ester?
Strong base (NaOH)
What is the energy content in kcal of one peanut, if the temperature of 1 kg of water in a calorimeter increases by 50C upon the combustion of 10 peanuts? (Note: For water, the heat of fusion is 1.4 kcal/mol, the specific heat is 4.185 J/g•oC or 1 cal/g•oC, and the density is 1.0 g/mL at 15oC. One kg equals 2.2 pounds.)
(1 kg) × (1000 g/kg) × (1 cal/g oC) × (1 kcal/1000 cal) × (50oC) = 50 kcal but that is for 10 peanuts so divide by 10 to get 5kcal
How do you calculate the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an element?
- Protons = atomic # = electrons IF neutral
- Neutrons = mass # - atomic #
- Electrons = atomic # - charge
What is the difference between tautomerization and resonance?
- Resonance - only moves electrons around
- Maintains same structure (arbitrary and do not exists)
- lowers potential energy to stabilize the molecule - Tautomerization - moves bonds (atoms or H) around making new functional groups
- Makes structural isomers that interconvert rapidly
- has no stabilization effect
What does red litmus paper detect and what color will it change? and what does blue litmus paper detect and what color does it change?
- Detects whether a solution is acidic or basic
1. Blue turns red under acidic conditions
2. Red turns blue under basic or alkaline conditions - color change occurring over the pH range 4.5–8.3 at 25 °C (77 °F).
3. Neutral litmus paper is purple.
Why does nickle (II) ion produce a green color?
Nickle (II) is green colored because the nickle II ion has a partially filled d orbital and the electrons in the lower energy d orbitals absorb visible light to move to the higher energy d orbitals
when a sound wave crosses the X axis it is considered to be at what point?
Zero displacement
When capacitors are in series how does that effect overall capacitance? what about in parallel?
- Opposite of resistors
1. Series = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + etc
2. parallel = C1 + C2 + etc
What is the function of an ebulliator?
To prevent superheating of the liquid to be distilled
What would improve the degree of fractional separation between two substances?
- Heat the distillation flask at a slower rate!
- Cooling condenser doesnt effect, shortening fractionating column = less separated
- lower pressure inside = decreases BP and will cause smaller difference
What happens if there is a leak in the vacuum distillation apparatus?
- The BP of the two components will BOTH INCREASE
- Vapor pressure of a liquid increases with increasing temp, so BP of liquid decreases as pressure on surface of liquid is decreased
- A leak would cause the surface pressure to increase
What is the bond order between oxygen atoms? in O2
2
- 12 valence electrons with 8 in bonding and 4 in antibonding
- Subtract bonding from antibonding and then divide by 2
What is an isoelectronic compound?
- Have same number of electrons
How can you tell which electrons will have the greatest energy?
- Whichever one has the highest n value because it makes the smallest negative number
What does a trigonal planar bond look like?
AlCl3 bc it is an expection to the octet rule, makes 120 degree angles
What pure substance has the highest bp typically?
Water, based on IMFs
What is a permanent dipole?
- when the dipoles do not cancel out, must have polarized bonds
