Chapter 12-13 1. All reactions need energy a. Breaking bonds requires, making releases 2. Thermochemistry is study of heat in chemistry (part of thermodynamics) 3. Exothermic vs Endothermic a. Products - Reactants b. Exothermic --> more heat released than absorbed c. Endothermic --> more energy absorbed than released 4. Total Energy --> kinetic and potential energy of particles a. Enthalpy is a little more i. Difference in enthalpy of products and reactants is energy b. Positive for endothermic, negative for exothermic c. Standard Enthalpy is (delta H with dot) 25 C and 1 atm (all substances need to be in pure form) i. If heat made in standard enthalpy goes over or below 25, enthalpy takes that into account d. Heat and moles are proportional 5. Hess’ Law a. Net enthalpy change = sum of individual steps needed in reaction b. If coefficients multiplied by factors, enthalpy multiplied too (heat and moles are proportional) c. If arrow is changed, sign is changed (endothermic becomes exothermic) 6. Calorimetry a. Heat flow and its measurement i. Delta H by delta H of surroundings (qrxn vs qsurr) b. Heat capacity --> energy to raise object by 1degree c. Specific heat --> raise by 1g of object by 1 degree d. Calorimeter --> insulated cup with known amount of water and thermometer i. If water heats up, exothermic, vice versa ii. Measured in J or kJ 7. Caloric Theory --> heat moved from hot things to cold things 8. Kinetic Theory --> heat is transfer of kinetic energy from hot to cold 9. Gases have uniform traits a. 22.4L at STP b. Mostly made of molecules (except for noble gases) c. Have mass and can be compressed d. Fill containers completely and exert pressure (this is dependent on temperature) e. Diffuse through others easily 10. Manometers --> tubes with open end and closed end to a closed container a. If gas on open end is lower, then atm is higher and inner pressure is less than atm, if it is higher, then inner pressure is higher and inner pressure is more than atm


11.

Kinetic Molecular Model a. Have mass, in constant motion, lot of space between them, collisions are perfectly elastic, heat makes them move faster 12. Gases described by amount (moles), volume (L), temperature (measured in C, displayed in K), and pressure (atm, kPa) 13. Gas Laws a. Boyle’s Law : Pressure and Volume are inverse (less pressure is more volume) b. Charles’ Law: Volume Changes according to Temp c. Avogadro’s Law: All gases at same temp and pressure occupy same volume d. Dalton: Sum of individual partial pressures is same as total pressures 14. Ideal Gas Law a. PV= nRT i. P is pressure, V is volume, n is moles, R = 0.0821 atm-L/molK, T is Kelvin/Celcius ii. R is constant (0.0821 atm, 8.134 at J and Pa) b. Exceptions at high pressure (individual volumes come into play) and at low temperatures (attractive forces come into play) 15. Density of gas depends on Temp, pressure, volume and molar mass, can be tweaked for less dense gas a. Helium safer than hydrogen, easier than hot air 16. Law Math Conversions and Mnemonic Devices a.

Chapter 14-15 1. Liquids vs Solids vs Gases a. Gases take up whole container and match shape, liquids only match shape, solids retain shape size b. Liquids barely expand upon heating and barely compress (unlike gases) and move and diffuse slower than gases c. Solids have highest attraction forces and barely move d. All three’s state at room temp depends on intermolecular forces (weaker than other bonds) 2. Water at 0 C has too little kinetic energy to overcome attractive forces, above 0 C flow easily, above 100 C completely free of each other 3. Bond types a. Ionic --> holds two different elements together (solids at room temp), strong, pulled apart by water when they dissolve b. Metallic --> holds two metals together (solids at room temp), strong c. Covalent bonds --> molecules made of same elements (nonmetals) have intramolecular (between molecules) and intermolecular forces i. Boiling temp is a study of intermolecular forces (higher boiling means stronger forces) ii. Forces rise as you go down a family d. Intermolecular forces in molecules include dispersion (induced dipole makes other dipoles, very weak), dipole dipole (stronger, between permanent dipoles) and hydrogen bonds (strong dipole dipole due to low electronegativity of hydrogen atoms) 4. Liquids a. Viscosity is intermolecular force dependent function i. Resistance to friction, stronger intermolecular forces give higher viscosity ii. Decreases with temperature b. Surface tension --> unequally distributed forces of molecules on surface of liquid make surface taut, higher intermolecular forces increase surface tension 5. Solids a. Crystalline -->ordered unit cells (repeating pieces in larger structure) if solid has water, it’s hydrate b. Amorphous --> sometimes supercooled liquids, have no form, get softer as heated until liquid (ex: glass and rubber), think of them as liquids very cold with high viscosities c. Bonds in solids depend on intermolecular forces (hardness, melting points, electrical conducting) i. Metallic solids --> all ions together in sea of electrons, good conductors, malleable and ductile ii. Molecular solids --> weaker, cannot conduct, higher melting point --> higher intermolecular iii. Ionic --> strong forces of attraction, brittle, bad conductors (unless liquids), most stable iv.Covalent network --> very strong, made with covalent bonds, aren’t molecules


6. Changes of state and energy involved a. (Gas --> liquid --> solid) --> exothermic, <--- endothermic b. Vaporization --> making liquid into gas, is endothermic i. Anything over freezing is vaporizing, certain water particles are leaving surface to become gas ii. Volatile --> vaporizes fast iii. As they evaporate, solution cools because of less kinetic energy c. Condensation --> making gas into liquid (exothermic) i. Any particle hitting surface of liquid becomes liquid by intermolecular forces ii. In closed atmosphere, as more evaporate, more condense, until equilibrium is reached d. Vapor pressure --> pressure of vaporized molecules, at equilibrium pressure is constant i. Any substance’s boiling point is at what temp vapor pressure is atmospheric pressure e. Freezing point --> melting point, not affected by external pressure, energy to melt is heat of fusion f. Sublimation and Deposition i. Sublimation --> solid to gas, opposite is deposition ii. Heat of sublimation = heat of deposition (opposite signs) iii. Close to heat of fusion+heat of vaporization g. Diagrams (phase diagrams and heating curves) i. Heating curves --> rises as heat is absorbed, constant at phase changes ii. For water, heat rises, and at 100 C, heat is kept on added until water completely evaporates, then temperature of steam rises until a certain point iii. Phase diagrams --> specific temperatures and pressures where two phases can occur iv.Triple point of substance is where all three states can be happening 7. Solution is homogenous mixture of two or more substances (particles are tiny, equally distributed, and solution will not settle if held in same conditions) a. Solute is broken down in solvent, solute is one who normally goes under change of phase b. Solid solutions are alloys, gaseous is air, liquid is just liquid (aqueous means solvent is water) i. If aqueous solutions have ions that can carry electricity, electrolytes, otherwise nonelectrolytes 8. Measuring Solutions --> concentration (how much solute in solvent) a. Molarity --> how much solute in solution (moles solute / L solution) b. Molality --> how much solute vs solvent (moles solute/kg solvent) c. Mole faction --> (moles of solute OR solvent / moles solution) how much of substance in solution d. Saturation --> it is saturated if maximum solute is in it, unsaturated if under maximum is in it, supersaturated if over maximum is in it (very unstable, adding any solute will make all solute crystals) 9. Solutions and Forces a. Intermolecular forces --> between solute and solvent


b. Solvation --> interaction between solutes and solvents (hydration if solvent is water) i. Ex: water molecules pull Na and Cl apart in NaCl in water ii. In solution, solutes and solvents are broken and intermingled (breaking bonds is endothermic, making bonds is exothermic) 10. Solubility --> how much solute will dissolve in solvent in specific conditions a. For solid solute, conditions are temperature, for gaseous, temperature and pressure b. Usually expressed per 100 g of solvent i. Solutes with polar molecules will dissolve in polar solvents (like dissolves like) ii. Polar polar, nonpolar-nonpolar, ionic-polar c. Temperature decreases gas’s solubility (more kinetic energy means escapes), increases solid’s solubility (most of the time) because more energy for solvent to dissolve them i. If temperature drops after adding solute, heating will help, if stays same heating won’t help, if increases, heating will decrease it d. Pressure --> helps gases significantly (more contact with surface of liquid) i. Henry’s Law --> solubility of gas is dependent on partial pressure of gases above it e. To dissolve faster (has nothing to do with solubility) i. Surface area of solute increase (more contact with solvent to pull apart) ii. Temperature (more kinetic energy for solvent) iii. Stirring (more undissolved solute contact with solvent) 11. Colligative Properties --> properties of solution based on concentration of solute, not identity a. Vapor Pressure Reduction --> nonvolatile solute makes less surface contact for solvent molecules to surface, less of them become gas (vapor pressure is proportional to concentration <-- Raoult’s Law) b. Boiling Point Elevation --> adding nonvolatile solute, less vapor --> more temp to make vapor pressure equal to atmospheric pressure (boil) i. Delta Tb is difference between boiling points, proportional to molality, constant and ifactor c. Freezing Point Depression --> lowering freezing point, same nonvolatile rules i. Also proportional to molarity and given constant d. Osmotic Pressure --> (solvent passes, solute does not) i. After certain difference on both sides of semi-permeable membrane, osmosis stops ii. Without osmotic pressure, solution is isotonic iii. With more solute, it is hypertonic (cell shrivel), with less solute, it is hypotonic (cell blows up) iv.Water follows solute e. Molar mass can be determined through any of the colligative properties


Chapter 16-17 1. Equilibrium --> two opposing processes occurring at the same rate a. Reversible reactions --> equilibrium where products become reactants while reactants become products i. Has to be reversible on its own ii. Forward reaction proceeds to the right, backwards proceeds to the left b. Reaction rate depends on concentration i. If products are taken away, reaction rate of forward reaction increases, vice versa c. Chemical Equilibrium --> When both rates are equal and the concentrations of reactants and products are constant 2. Equilibrium Constant a. Law of Mass Action --> Explains relative concentration of products and reactants in terms of equilibrium constant b. Equilibrium constant known as Keq --> concentration of products raised to coefficients over concentrations of reactants raised to coefficients i. Concentration --> molarity c. Law of Chemical Equilibrium --> every solution has a Keq (dependent on molarity) that varies by temperature i. You can read Keq --> if Keq >>1, then concentration of products is much greater than reactants at equilibrium, and if Keq <<1, then concentration of reactants is much greater than products d. You can measure the solution to check how close it is to equilibrium i. This is the equilibrium position of the solution e. Homogenous and Heterogenous Equilibria i. If it is homogenous, then does not change state, in heterogenous, changes state ii. If it changes to solid, omit concentration of solids in Keq f. Reaction Quotient --> uses specific data to see if reaction is at equilibrium i. If Q> Keq, then too many products, proceed to the left ii. If Q<Keq, then too many reactants, proceed to the right 3. Le Chatelier’s Principle a. Equilibrium systems can be altered at or nearing equilibrium b. If they are altered, the system changes to counter the change c. Concentration change --> if product or reactant is added, equilibrium will shift to other side to make more of other substance out of added substance d. Pressure change --> if more moles of product or reactant make less moles of opposite, then it will shift in that direction (more something used up to make less of something else) e. Temperature --> only one that changes Keq--> if reaction is exothermic or endothermic, then adding or subtracting heat will increase product or reactant, treat it like concentration of heat is being added f. Haber Process


i. Manipulating Le Chatelier’s Principle to make more ammonia by manipulating pressure and temperature 4. Dissolution and Precipitation a. In a solution, ionic solids separate into +/- ions i. Solution has to be a polar liquid b. Process of ionic solids becoming ions is called dissolution c. If one ion collides with the crystal, becomes part of the crystal i. If one ion touches another ion, both neutralize and become a solid d. Ions becoming solids again from ionic form is called precipitation i. Dissolution and precipitation are opposite systems e. After a while solubility is reached and no more ions can be dissolved i. Then, as more ions are dissoluting, some precipitate at the same time ii. When the rate of dissolution and precipitation is same, you have solubility equilibrium 5. Ksp --> Ksp is solubility product, is like Keq except no denominator a. No denominator because reactant is an ionic solid i. So it is product of products’ concentrations (at equilibrium) to powers of coefficients ii. Small value for Ksp means low solubility, vice versa b. When Ksp is given, can be used to find equilibrium concentrations (x^2, 4x^3, etc.) c. Ion Product --> input given values for concentrations and compare with Ksp (Q) i. If Q>Ksp, then ppt will form to get rid of excess ions, if Q<Ksp, no ppt ii. Ppt will keep on forming until Q=Ksp 6. Reactions that make precipitate are precipitate reactions a. All are double replacement reactions b. Precipitate must be a combination of ions (ppt must be ionic) c. Written as aqueous solutions on left, with ppt on the right (with the other aqueous product on right as well) i. Actual identity of precipitate can only be confirmed via experiment, no surefire way to predict d. All are double replacement because formation of ppt drives it further i. Solids have less energy than liquids, so tend to be more stable ii. Other driving forces are creation of water and gases 7. Ionic Equations a. Complete ionic equations have everything (all the spectator ions, those who do not undergo a change) i. When writing complete ionic equations, do not break up solids b. Net ionic equations exclude spectator ions 8. Common Ion Effect a. If two ionic substances sharing a common ion are mixed (one already in a saturated solution), increase of the added ion will result in ppt forming i. You are increasing the concentration of one ion past saturation (equilibrium), so ppt must form b. Also decreases solubility for newer ions who are introduced


Chapter 18-19 1. Properties of acids and bases a. Taste --> acids are sour and bases taste bitter b. Touch --> acids feel like water, bases feel slippery c. Reactions with metals --> acids react with mg, zinc, iron and aluminum d. Conductivity --> both are electrolytes (ionize in water), both good conductors e. Indicators --> change color in contact with them (ex: phenolphthalein, litmus paper) 2. Neutralization --> when acids and bases meet, cancel each other’s properties a. In proper ratio (MaVa=MbVb), no distinctive properties remain b. Products are ionic compound (salt) 3. Definitions of acids and bases a. Arrhenius --> (properties based on when acids/bases make contact with water) i. Acids release H+ ions (proton), bases release OH- ions ii. Acids + metals make H2 gas b. Bronsted Lowry definition i. Acid can donate H+ ion, base can accept H+ ion 1. Acids that can give 1 H+ are monoprotic, that can give 2 are diprotic, etc c. Conjugate acids and bases are when acids or bases lose/gain an H+ ion i. ex: HCl - H+ --> Cl- (<-- this is the conjugate base of HCl) d. Water is an amphoteric substance (can be an acid or a base in certain scenarios) i. Hydronium --> H+ ions in water actually make H3O+ ions 4. Strengths of acids and bases a. Strong acid readily makes H+ ions in water i. Indicated by ‘-->’ in chemical reactions, while weak ones have equilibrium arrows b. Strong bases readily accept H+ ions in water c. Strengths of acids/bases are inverse to their conjugates (strong acid=weak conjugate base) 5. Quantitative Formulas for Acids and Bases a. HA + H20 --> H30+ + Ab. Then Ka --> [H3O+][A-]/[HA] (refer to Mr. Cheung’s Ch 18 Notes for more in-depth info) i. For diprotic acids, more than 1 Ka c. Kb --> (same basic principle, replace HA with B and H3O+ with OH-) i. [HB][OH-]/[B] (refer to Mr. Cheung’s Ch 18 Notes for more in-depth info) d. Ka and Kb tell the strength of a base/acid (higher --> more disassociation in water --> more powerful) 6. Salt Hydrolysis --> salts made from neutralization reactions can be acidic or basic a. Strong acid + strong base --> neutral salt b. Strong acid + weak base --> acidic salt c. Weak acid + strong base --> basic salt d. Weak acid + weak base --> answers may vary 7. Naming acids


a. Acids = Binary acids --> hydrogen + element, Oxy acids --> hydrogen + oxygen + element, Carboxylic --> has carbon in it b. Bases = Bronsted Lowry always has one unshared pair of electrons i. Many anions are bases, amines are bases with 1 nitrogen atom with unshared pair c. Naming acids --> if name ends in i. ide, add ic to it and put after hydro, ii. in ate, add ic, no hydro, iii. in ite, add ous, no hydro 8. Self ionization of water --> even purest water has some OH- and H3O+ ions in it a. However, very little of of it is there i. At equilibrium (25 C), there are exactly 1.0 * 10^-7 M of both b. Kw --> 1.0 * 10^-14 i. This means that [OH-]x[H30+] = 1.0*10^-14 every time c. pH is -log[H3O+] i. More H3O+ means low pH, low pH means acidic, high pH means basic ii. Increase of pH by 1 is tenfold change d. pH found by indicators 9. Buffer --> can keep the pH of a solution constant even if something is added to solution a. Usually a mixture of acid/base and it’s conjugate make a buffer i. If acid is added, more H30+ ions will be made, then base/conjugate base in buffer will make H20 out of it (no change to pH) ii. If base is added, more HO- ions will be made, then acid/conjugate acid in buffer will make H20 out of it (no change to pH) b. Every buffer has a limit (when all of buffer’s acid/base and conjugate is used up) --> buffer capacity 10. Titration --> controlled neutralization reaction that lets you know concentration of acid/base a. Measure of pH is not the same as measure of concentration of acid b. For titration, need a standard solution (known concentration), unknown solution, and indicator c. After adding known amount of standard and a few drops of indicator, add unknown and at one point color of solution will change i. Point of color change is called end point (where more of unknown than standard in solution) d. Equivalence point --> when both are in same concentrations i. Equivalence point is very close to end point, so end point is appx equivalence point e. MaVa=MbVb, only unknown is Mb (moles of unknown), can be figured out f. There is a curve in pH as more unknown is added --> titration curve i. If curve is steep, then an indicator with a wide array of colors can work (sorry if this section is really vague, can’t write too concise and still keep stuff) g. For more info on titration and titration curves can be found on pgs 640, 641, and 642


Chapter 22-23 1. Chemical kinetics --> speed at which reactions occur a. Chemical reactions take time to occur b. Reaction rate is the change in concentration of reactants and products over a period of time i. Expressed in M/s c. Average rate of reaction --> (delta(reactants or products))/delta(time) i. Rate changes, so it makes sense to find average rate 2. Reaction mechanisms --> series of steps that lead from reactants to products a. Each step is an elementary step to the entire process b. Elementary steps must add up and (through canceling) equal the original reaction c. Some substances are made in elementary steps but cancel out i. These are intermediary products d. Speed of chemical reaction is dependent on slowest elementary step i. This step is called rate-determining step 3. Rate Laws --> equation that can be used to determine the rates of reactions a. Rate = k[A]x[B]y i. A and B are concentrations of reactants ii. x and y are powers of concentrations of reactants (must be found experimentally) 1. Not always the co-effecients iii. k is a fixed constant per reaction iv.Not all reactants are involved, those whose change in concentration do not affect reaction are excluded 4. Collision Theory --> two molecules have to collide to react with each other a. Only two can hit each other (very hard for three molecules to be at the same place) b. This is why elementary steps make sense i. If more than 2 reactants make more than 1 product, then various collisions need to take place for reaction to happen c. Not all collisions are effective, actually very few are effective i. Effective ones are called effective collisions, ineffective ones are ineffective collisions d. For collision to be effective, atoms must be in a position to break and form new bonds (orientation) and also both need to have enough energy to break and make bonds 5. Sufficient energy can be found from potential energy and kinetic energy a. Potential energy is energy waiting to be released, kinetic is released energy b. Energy required to break bonds comes from kinetic energy i. Kinetic energy is determined via mass and velocity of particle 6. Activation energy a. Energy of reactants must be raised to start reaction i. Difference between max energy of reactants and energy of products is activation energy b. Activation complex --> In transition state (brief moment where substance is neither product nor reactant) the substance is called activation complex


i. Has the most energy (at peak of activation energy) c. Activation energy (Ea) is energy required to make transition state and activation complex i. Activation complex can break up into products or reactants 7. Five factors affect reaction rates: nature of reactants, temperature, concentration, surface area, and catalysts a. Nature of reactants --> reactions that require slight rearrangement of reactants are faster i. Reactions that need many covalent bonds to be broken are slow ii. Reactions with reactants in different states are heterogenous (vice versa for homogenous) 1. Reaction between two gases will happen faster than two liquids or solids b. Temperature --> higher temperatures lead to faster reactions i. Molecules move faster with higher temperatures ii. Common rule of thumb --> increasing by 10 Celsius doubles or triples reaction rate c. Concentration --> more particles to collide means faster reaction d. Surface Area --> Larger surface area means more space for reactions to happen e. Catalysts --> Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of reaction without being used up i. Catalysts in the body are called enzymes ii. Catalysts are opposites of intermediary products, are consumed first and then remade later iii. Catalysts lower activation energy, so more molecules can create products iv.Substances that reduce reaction rates are called inhibitors
