le chatelier’s principle
if a reaction in equilibrium is disturbed, the reaction shifts left in order to minimize the disturbance
acid equilibrium expression
K(a) = [H3O+][A-]/[HA]
rate and temperature
higher temp. = higher rxn rate because there will be more collisions (need correct orientation)
units for rate laws (1st order)
s ^-1
spontaneity
the tendency to occur without being driven by an external force
entropy
energy and matter tend to disperse in an orderly manner
predicting change in entropy
- phase change (s - l +S; l - q +S, q - l -S)
- state of matter (solid < liquid < gas)
- atomic weight (He < Ne < Ar < Kr, Xe)
enthalpy & ∆S
if ∆H is - (exothermic) ∆S increases
if ∆H is + (endothermic) ∆S decreases
∆S equation
∆S = ∆S(final) — ∆S(inital) [J/K or J/Kmol]
direction of chemical change
entropy helps us determine the direction a rxn will proceed in (direction that increases entropy of the universe)
second law of thermodynamics
for any spontaneous process, the entropy of the universe increases (∆S > 0)
∆S and ∆H
entropy is more important than enthalpy at certain temps
equation for entropy of the universe
∆S(universe) = ∆S(system) + ∆S(surroundings)
temperature effect on ∆S
entropy depends on temperature
magnitude of ∆S(surr) is proportional to ∆H(sys)
equation for temperature effect on ∆S
∆S(surr) = -∆Hsys/T
equation for gibbs free energy
∆G(sys) = ∆H(sys) - T∆S(sys)
gibbs free energy
∆G is a value that can tell us about the spontaneity of a reaction
gibbs and spontaneity
if ∆G is + , ∆S(uni) is — (nonspontaneous)
if ∆G is - , ∆S(unis) is + (spontaneous)
STP
25° C, 1 atm, 1.0 M
∆S° equation
∆S°(rxn) = ∑n∆S(products) — ∑n∆S(reactants)
∆G° equation
∆G°(rxn) = ∑n∆G(products) — ∑n∆G(reactants)
entropy for an element
∆S° is NOT 0!
calculating ∆G at non-standard conditions
∆G = ∆G° + RTlnQ
calculating ∆G at equilibrium
∆G° = -RTlnK
∆G° = K @ equilibrium
intermolecular forces (ion-ion)
essentially an ionic bond (not an IMF) [opposites attract]
intermolecular forces (ion-dipole)
charged ions are attracted to the opposite “partial charge” on a nearby polar molecule [STRONGEST]
intermolecular forces (hydrogen)
dipole-dipole interaction involving “H” atoms. [2nd STRONGEST]
rule to form hydrogen IMF:
1. H must be bonded to F, O, or N
2. H is attracted to a lone electron pair
intermolecular forces (dipole-dipole
partial positive & negative charges on polar molecules attract [3rd STRONGEST]
intermolecular forces (london dispersion)
induced dipole moment. depends on the molecular weight of the molecule. More weight = stronger LD force. (all molecules have LD forces) [4th STRONGEST]
how a liquid boils
it undergoes a phase change (all imf forces must be broken)
phase change (L - G)
vaporization (boiling)
phase change (L - S)
freezing
phase change (S - G)
sublimation
phase change (G - L
condensation
phase change (S - L)
melting
phase change (G - S)
deposition
vapor pressure and temperature
as temp. increases, so does vapor pressure
boiling point
the temp. where vapor pressure of has is equal to atmospheric pressure
equilibrium
the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction
(concentrations of reactants/products stay constant)
equilibrium constant (K)
K = [products]/[reactants]
equilibrium constant (K) extra info
K depends on temperature and nature of reactants
pure liquids and solids are not involved in the expression
K is unitless
reverse of a chemical rxn
K(reverse) = 1/K
