Q

What is the Ion Product (Qsp) and how does it compare to Ksp

A

Q for Solutions

For example: NaCl

IP = [Na+] [Cl-] = Ksp

  • Solubility product constant (Ksp)

Keq for solutions

Qsp < Ksp Unsaturated

Qsp = Ksp Saturated

Qsp > Ksp Supersaturated

76
Q

What is the molar solubility

A

The concentration at saturation (X)

molarity = mol/liter

this is the moles at 1 liter

For example: if you have NaCl ,

Ksp = [Na+] [Cl-]

Therefore, molar solubility is represented as (x) in:

Ksp = [x] [x] = x2

77
Q

What is the common ion effect?

A

If the same ion is already in solution its concentration must be added to the concentration

Example:

NaCl = Ksp = 3.8 x 10 (higher = want to dissociate)

AgCl = Ksp = 1.6 x 10^-10 (will percipitate out)

This (AgCl) will percipitate out due to the excess Cl in solution and AgCl has the lower Ksp so it will be the one to percipitate

78
Q

What is Kaplan Method for Equilibrium Questions

A

(Using NaCl for this example)

  • Write down a balanced reaction for the dissociation reaction (if not given)

NaCl (s) -> Na+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

  • Find the expression for the Keq

Ksp = [Na+] [Cl-]

  • Plug into Ksp expression

Ksp = [x] [x] = x2

(x = molar solubility)

79
Q

What is the rate law based off of?

A

Concentration of the REACTANTS!

ie. For a reaction aA+bB -> cC + dD

Rate = k [A]x [B]y

k = rate constant

x + y = order of reaction

80
Q

How do you calculate the order of reaction?

A

Concentration of the REACTANTS!

ie. For a reaction aA+bB -> cC + dD

Rate = k [A]x [B]y

k = rate constant

x + y = order of reaction

81
Q

What are the reaction orders?

A
  • Zero order: rate = k
    • [reactant] does not affect rate
    • eg. doubling concentration (x2) has noeffect on rate (x20)
  • First order: rate = k[A] or rate=k[B]
    • [reactant] affects rate linearly, x:x
    • eg. doubling concentration (x2) doubles
  • Second order: rate = k[A]2 , rate = k[B]2 , rate = k [A]1[B]1
82
Q

Name and describe the factors affecting rate

A
  • Reaction concentration
    • Increasing [M] generally increases rate, up to a maximum
  • Temperature
    • Increasing temperature generally increases rate, to a max
  • Medium
    • Some reactions perform better in certain medium (eg. Polar vs. nonpolar)
    • Usually impacts the reaction mechanism
  • Catalysts
    • (such as enzymes) increase rate by decreasing activation energy
83
Q

Explain the phase change diagram, where is delta Hfus and where is delta Hvap?

A

delta Hfus = ice to liquid phase change

delta Hvap = liquid to vapor phase change

84
Q

How is the heat put in (q) calculated when the phase is changing from either solid to liquid or liquid to gas?

A

q = m*delta Hfus (in joules)

q = m*delta Hvap (in joules)

85
Q

How is the heat put in calculated when going from one temperature to another in either the solid, liquid or gas phase?

A

q = m*c*delta T

86
Q

What is the specific heat of liquid water?

A

c = 1 cal/g*degC

87
Q

What is the specific heat?

A

eg. cwater = 1 cal/g*deg C

88
Q

What is heat capacity?

A

(m*c) heat required to raise the temperature of a particular mass

89
Q

What makes up the calculation for determining the heat into a system? (include units)

A

q = heat in J

m = mass in g

c = specific heat in cal/g*deg C

94
Q

If you are in Denver, vs. sea level, what temperature does the water be to boil

A

Sea level boiling temp = 100 deg C

Denver boiling temp = 98 deg C

Because of this, the pasta in Denver would have to cook longer than pasta at sea level because of the boiling temperature difference

How is the mole fraction of O2 calculated if you have 2 moles CO2, 10 moles of He and 8 moles of O2

A
  • Mole fraction = x

XA = (Moles of A) / (Total moles of compound)

XO2 =(8 moles O2) / (20 total moles) = 0.4

101
Q

What is Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure?

For example, if you had an XA = 0.4 and a total pressure of 40, what would the partial pressure of A be (PA)?

A

In a mixture of gases, total pressure equals the sum of the pressures from each individual gas

Ptotal = PA + PB + PC + …….

PA = XA * Ptotal

PA = 0.4 * 40 = 16

102

113
Q

Explain the Vapor-pressure depression Calligative property

A

delta Psoln = Xsolute * Posolvent

More solute means less of the liquid’s surface area is available for evaporation

For example, if you add oil to pasta, less water is available on the surface to vaporize meaning it will take more time to boil the pot of water

114
Q

Explain boiling-point elevation colligative property

A

delta Tb = i*Kb*m

Kb = unique solvent constant deg C*kg/mol

i = van hoft factor (# of new particles per mole solute, ie. NaCl has an i = 2)

m = molality is mol/kg

delta Tb = increases in boiling point in K

Boiling occurs when Pvap = Pambient

Lowering Pvap by adding solute, thus raises Boiling Point

For example, if you add salt (lots) to a pan of water, it will boiler quicker

115
Q

Explain freezing-point depression colligative property

A

delta Tf = i*Kf*m

Kf = unique solvent constant deg C*kg/mol

i = van hoft factor (# of new particles per mole solute, ie. NaCl has an i = 2)

m = molality is mol/kg

delta Tf = increases in freezing point in K

Solute interrupts the ability of the solvent to form solid crystals, lowering the freezing point

i = Van’t Hoff factor in particles/mol

then p[anything] = (n-1) . (10-m)

for this example: p[H] = (13-1) . (10-2) = 12.8

131
