Molarity (M)
moles solute/vol of soln in mol/L
Molality (m)
moles solute/kg of solvent in mol/kg
Mole fraction (x)
moles of com/total moles
Mass percentage
Mass solute/mass soln X 100
Parts per million (ppm)
10^6 X mass solute/mass soln
Vapor Pressure
Pressure created by molecules in open space and equilibrium (T dependent)
Evaporation
When partial pressure of water vapor is lower than the vapor pressure
Condense
When partial pressure of water vapor is higher than the vapor pressure
Boiling
When vapor pressures equals local atmospheric pressure
Melting
Vapor pressure of solid equals vapor pressure of liquid
Non-volatile solute
No vapor pressure
Pv=xa Pa
Volatile solution
has vp
Pv = xa Pa + xb Pv
Spectator ions
Don’t have effect on equilibrium
Common ion effect
Ion in “common” with an ion in equilibrium equation
Solubility guidelines: Soluble in water
- Nitrate (NO3-), ammonium (NH4+), alkali metals (Li+, Na+,K+),
- Halogens (Cl-,Br-,I-) except (Hg, Pb, Ag comp),
- Sulfate compounds (SO4^2-) except (Hg, Pb, Ca, Sr, Ba), -Heavier alkaline metals (Ca^2+, Sr^2+,Ba^2+) when paired with sulfides (S^2-)
- Smaller and less charged compounds in general
Solubility guidelines: Insoluble in water
-Carbonates (CO3^2-), phosphates (PO4^3-), Hydroxides (OH-), sulfides (S^2-)
Factors that affect solubility
Pressure: increases solubility of gas
Temperature: increases solubility of most salts (decreases with gas dissolved into liquid)
Reducing agent
Atom losing e- is oxidized
Oxidizing agent
Atom gaining e- is reduced
Oxidation State
Must add up to charge of molecule Atom in element form: 0 Grp 1: +1 Grp2: +2 Grp 15: +3 Grp 16: -2 Grp 17: -1
Electric Potential (E)
Due to e- being transferred
Large E, stronger oxidizing agent
Small E, stronger reducing agents
Switch sign for oxidizing potential
Balancing Redox Rxns
Divide rxn into 1/2 rxns Balance elements other than H and O Add H20 to balance O Add H+ to balance H Add e- to balance charge Multiply rxns by # to make equal # of e- Add two 1/2 rxns and simplify
Galvanic/voltaic cell
T-E-I-E’-T’
Cathode + (reduction) Anode - (oxidation)
e- flow anode -> cathode
Free energy
ΔG=-nFEmax F=96,486 c/mol
Nerst Equation
Used to express resting potential
E=E° - RT/nF log (Q) or E=E° - .06/n log(Q)
Concentration cell
reduction 1/2 rxn takes place in one 1/ cell while reerse rxn occurs in other
Electrolytic cell
Hooks power source across resistance of falvanc cell and forces rxn to run in reverse
