Q

How do we determine empirical formulas?

A

If we are given that percent, simply turn it into grams (no conversion) and then convert it from grams to moles. In order to get a ratio, we must divide all of the moles by the smallest mole. Now that we have all of the values, plug them as subscripts to their corresponding compound.

Q

How do we determine molecular formulas?

A

To find molecular formula, first find the empirical formula. After you have it, find the molar mass of the compound, Since we are given a molar mass (in the problem), if it does not match your calculation, divide the molar mass that you were given by the molar mass you calculated. Whatever value you get tells us our formula is off by that factor.

43
Q

What does Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure tell us?

A

The total pressure is equal to the sum of the individual pressures

44
Q

A

false, they exist in mixtures

45

A

A

freezing

47

48
Q

What is it called when we go from a gas to a liquid?

A

condensation

49
Q

What is it called when we go from a gas to a solid?

A

sublimination

50
Q

What is it called when we go from a solid to a gas?

A

deposition

51
Q

why is solid water less dense than liquid water?

A

It is less dense because when water freezes, the molecules form a crystalline structure that is held together by h bonding. Since we know water is a polar molecule, the positive of hydrogen attracts to the negative of oxygen between other h2o molecules.

52
Q

A polar molecule has a/an _______ distribution of electrons

A

unequal

53
Q

Describe solids in terms of movement, structure, shape, volume and compressibility

A

Solids only vibrate because they have a tight structure. They have a fixed volume and shape and are incompressible (except for ice)

54
Q

Describe liquids in terms of movement, structure, shape, volume and compressibility

A

Liquids have a bit more movement, fixed volume and is incompressible

55
Q

Describe gas in terms of movement, structure, shape, volume and compressibility

A

Gases have the most kinetic movement, it does not have a fixed volume or shape and it is compressible

56
Q

Are changes of state physical or chemical changes?

A

physical

57
Q

Rank the attraction forces for gas, liquids and solids

A

Solids > Liquids > Gas

58
Q

What is the difference between intermolecular forces and covalent/ionic bonds?

A

Intermolecular forces are the bonds between 2 molecules while covalent bonds are the bonds between 2 atoms in a molecule

59
Q

Which forces are weaker? Intermolecular or covalent?

A

Intermolecular forces

60
Q

What are the three main types of IMF?

A
  1. London Dispersion
  2. Dipole-Dipole
  3. Hydrogen Bonding
61
Q

Which IMF is present in all molecules?

A

London Dispersion

62
Q

Which IMF ispresent in polar molecules?

A

Dipole Dipole

63
Q

How does Hydrogen bonding become relevant?

A

This happens when Hydrogen bonds to really electronegative elements such as F, O or N

64
Q

what is the order of the IMF forces? Strongest to weakest

A

Hbond> Dipole Dipole> London Dispersion>

65
Q

What is the relationship between IMF and phase change?

A

The stronger the IMF, the higher the boiling/melting point (more energy needed)

66
Q

What is the relationship between IMF and surface tension?

A

The stronger the IMF, the higher the surface tension

67
Q

What is the relationship between IMF and vapor pressure?

A

The stronger the IMF, the lower the vapor pressure

Strong IMF produce low amounts of evaporation (molecules are attracted)

68
Q

What is vapor?

A

When a substance is present as both a gas and a liquid

69
Q

What is the difference between vaporization and evaporation?

A

In evaporation, particles can completely escape. In vaporization, we have an equilibrium where particles are equally converting back and forth between a gas and a liquid.

70
Q

What is boiling?

A

It is a type of vaporization where evaporation takes place in the whole container rather than on the surface

71
Q

When does boiling occur?

A

When vapor pressure is equal to atmospheric pressure

72
Q

What process occurs when vapor pressure is less than atmospheric pressure?

A

Evaporation

73
Q

t/f boiling can occur at any temperature

A

true, as long as the outside pressure if the same as the vapor pressure

74
Q

What is the relationship between low pressure and boiling point?

A

At low pressure, it takes more energy to reach a boiling point which also means it takes longer

75
Q

What is the relationship between high pressure and boiling point?

A

At high pressure, it takes less energy to reach a boiling point which means itis faster

76
Q

What atmospheric pressure does the normal boiling point refer to?

A

760 torr, 1 atm

77
Q

What are the diatomic molecules?

A

hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, fluorine, chlorine, iodine, bromine.

78
Q

What should we remember when converting grams to atoms?

A

if you want tofind atoms of a molecule, multiply by however many atoms there are. If you want to find one specific element, multiply by however many there is.

79
Q

How is oxidation determined in a compound?

A

In an equation, if a element’s oxidation number was higher, it lost electrons because the oxidation state should be positive (more protons)

80
Q

How is reduction determined?

A

Reduction is the gain of electrons so if an element’s oxidation number went from positive to negative or (lowered), it gained electrons because it has a negative charge

81
Q

How is the agent (oxidation and reducing) stated?

A

Although we are working with individual elements, the agent will be the compound in the reactant side. Lets say Hydrogen was oxidized in H2O. Hydrogen would be oxidized but H2O would be the reducing agent.

82
Q

If a polyatomic ion has a charge, what is the oxidation number?

A

Whatever the charge is.. make sure you memorized

83
Q

How do you go from Farenheit to Celsius?

A

First subtract by 32 and then multiply by 5/9.
