17
Q

What is the formula for concentration/molarity and what do the variables represent?

A

C = n/V

C is concentration
n is moles
V is volume

18
Q

How do you determine the ionic concentration?

A

Multiply the coefficient of the disassociated ion by the molarity

19
Q

What are the steps in preparing a solution?

A

1) Determine the mass of the solute needed
2) Add the correct mass of the solute needed to the volumetric flask
3) Add some solvent and swirl the dissolve solute
4) Add more solvent and mix
5) Top up the flask until the meniscus is ate the flask’s etch mark
6) Cover and invert (by tilting upside down) several times to mix thoroughly to make the solution homogenous

20
Q

What is the formula for the dilution of solutions?

A

C1 V1 = C2 V2

1 is initial, 2 is final

21
Q

How do you find the solution stoichiometry?

A

1) Balance chemical equation
2) Determine the number of moles for the substance whose quantity is given
3) Identify the substance you are required to find the quantity for and determine the mole ratio from the coefficients (ratio is - “given value : required value”)
4) Convert the moles of the required substance into the units needed

22
Q

What does the Kinetic Theory assume?

A
  • All matter is made of small particles
  • All particles are in constant motion
  • All collisions are elastic (the kinetic energy before and after the collision are the same)
23
Q

What is an ideal gas?

A

A gas where there are no intermolecular forces

24
Q

What does IMF stand for?

A

Intermolecular force

25
Q

Define diffusion?

A

The mixing of a solution without stirring

26
Q

What factors influence the rate of diffusion of a gas?

A

Average kinetic energy of particles
- increase energy yields increase speed and rate
Mass of Particles
- increase mass yields decrease speed and rate

27
Q

What are the situations for pressure?

A

Pressure:

  • inside a container
  • in the atmosphere
28
Q

What instrument is used to measure pressure?

A

Barometer

29
Q

What invented the Barometer?

A

Torricelli

30
Q

What units may pressure be measured in?

A
  • kiloPascal (kPa)
  • atmosphere (atm)
  • torr (torr)
31
Q

What atmospheric value do all the units of pressure equal the same?

A

101.3 kPa = 1 atm = 760 torr

32
Q

What is absolute zero?

A

The temperature is low enough to stop the motion of particles (occurs near -273.15°C)

33
Q

How do you convert from Kelvin to Celsius and visa versa?

A

C + 273 = K

K - 273 = C

34
Q

What is temperature?

A

The average kinetic energy of particles

35
Q

Define vapour pressure

A

Is the pressure of a gas when a substance evaporates

36
Q

When does boiling point occur?

A

When vapour pressure equals atmospheric pressure

37
Q

What is the formula for pressure of an ideal gas and what do the variables represent?

A

P = nRT / V

P is pressure in kPa
n is moles of any gas
R is 8.31 JK^-1 mol^-1
T is temperature in Kelvin
V is volume in Liters
38
Q

What is the combined gas law formula?

A

P1 V1 / T1 = P2 V2 / T2

1 is initial, 2 is final

39
Q

How do you find the total pressure of a mixture of gases?

A

P total = P1 + P2 + P3 + …

40
Q

How do you find the pressure of an individual gas in a mixture of gases?

A

P1 = Ptotal (n1/n total moles of all gases)

41
Q

How do you find the total pressure with only a gas and water?

A

Ptotal = Pgas + Pwater
