When you balance a reaction that automatically balances
the number of atoms on both sides of the equation. Since
the number of atoms is the same, the mass must be the
same. However, moles do not have to be the same because
the substances rearrange and form new substances, thus
changing the number of molecules formed. Look at the next
question to see how moles and molecules are not conserved
once the reactions are balanced.
2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
2 C2H2 + 5 O2
--> 4 CO2 + 2 H2O
3 CaCO3 + 2 H3PO4
--> Ca3(PO4)2
+ 3 CO2 + 3 H2O
4 Al (s) + 3 O2 (g) --> 2 Al2O3

States of Matter
The kinetic theory says that the tiny particles in all
forms of matter are in constant motion. As it applies to
gases, there are three assumptions: (also see pp 237-238
in your book)
A gas is composed of particles.
The particles are moving rapidly in constant
random motion.
All collisions are perfectly elastic.
The amount of kinetic energy in a system is directly
related to the Kelvin temperature. At zero K, there is no
kinetic energy, hence no molecular motion.
The energy being put into the liquid is being absorbed by
molecules which now have enough energy to break free of
the liquid, thus the temperature does not rise. Also the
temperature does not drop because heat is constantly
being added.
At a temperature of -3 °C and a pressure of 150 kPa,the
substance is a solid.
Liquids evaporate because some of the molecules on the
surface have enough energy to break free of the other
liquid molecules and become a gas. Because of the random
distribution of kinetic energies and the fact that
molecules are constantly colliding and exchanging energy,
other molecules will eventually have enough energy and be
close enough to the surface to evaporate.
K = °C + 273 = 250 °C + 273 = 523 K
x kPa = 45 mm Hg x (101.3 kPa/760 mm Hg) = 6.0
kPa
°C = 4 K - 273 = -269 °C
Thermochemistry
The answer is negative because it is giving off heat
(exothermic).
The reaction CaO(s) + H2O -->
Ca(OH)2 has a DH
value of -65.2 kJ.
Exothermic reaction because the DH value is negative.
Multiply the first equation by 2, including the heat. Add
this to the second equation. Add the heats as well. The
result is:
2 Cu(s) + O2 (g)
--> 2 CuO (s) DH = -206.6 kJ
Divide this equation by 2, including the heat, to get the
desired reaction. DH = -103.3
kJ
A calorimeter is a device used to measure the amount of
heat absorbed or released during a chemical or physical
process.
The pressure inside and outside the building are the
same. The temperature inside the building is lower, so
the gas molecules slow down and are not bumping into each
other as much. In order to keep the pressure constant,
the volume will reduce.
Periodicity
A period is a row on the periodic table. A group is a
column.
a) transition metals - the d block b) alkali
metals - the 1st column c) halogens - the 2nd to
last column d) noble gases - the last column
e) alkaline earth metals - the 2nd column
Reread your text on this section. This will be answered
here later as time permits.
Ionic Bonding
An ionic bond is formed by two steps: electrons are
completely donated from one atom to another, causing both
of the atoms to become ions of opposite charges; these
oppositely charged ions then attract to form an ionic
bond.
Covalent Bonding
A covalent bond if formed when 2 electrons are shared
between two atoms.
a) tetrahedral - polar b) linear - nonpolar
c) bent - polar d) tetrahedral - nonpolar
e) trigonal pyramidal - polar.
Van der Waals forces: Dispersion forces are the weakest
of the intermolecular forces. They are attractions
between molecules, thought to be due to the motion of
electrons. Dipole interactions are attractions between
polar molecules. The oppositely charged poles are
attracted. Hydrogen bonding is a special case of dipole
forces. In spite of its name, this is not a bond,
it is still an intermolecular attraction. It is the
strongest of the three. It occurs when H bonds with a
very electronegative element, i.e. F, O, and N, and form
very large dipoles (large difference in
electronegativity). The attractions between molecules
with H-F, H-O, and H-N bonds are stronger than normal
dipoles.
Molarity
To prepare the solution, dissolve 4.4 g NaCl in 300.0 mL
water.
MdVd=McVc
where d = dilute and c = concentrated.First find the
amount of 6M HCl needed.
Vc=(0.40 M x 250.0 mL)/(6 M) = 16.7 mL. Add
16.7 mL of 6 M HCl to 233.3 mL (250.0 - 16.7) water.
Chemical
Equilibria and Kinetics
The four factors that affect reaction rate are: 1.
temperature: more kinetic energy to the particles so more
chance of collisions and that the collisions will produce
a reaction; 2. concentration: more particles available to
collide so more probability of reaction; 3. particle
size: smaller particle size gives a larger surface area
which allows for more chance of collisions; 4: catalyst:
increases the rate by providing an alternate path of
reaction which has a lower activation energy. The
catalyst is not used up in the reaction.
The three factors that affect equilibrium are: 1.
temperature: if temperature increases,the reaction shifts
to relieve the extra heat, so the endothermic reaction is
favored. If the temperature is reduced, the opposite is
true. 2. concentration: if more of a reactant is added,
the reaction shifts (favors products) to use up the
excess until equilibrium is reestablished. The same
reasoning can be used if a product is added or either are
removed. 3. pressure: this only affects gases; if
pressure is increased, the reaction shifts to favor the
side with fewer gas particles. If pressure is decreased,
the reaction shifts to favor the side with more gas
particles. See #38 for applications of these.
2 C2H2 + 5 O2
<--> 4 CO2 +
2 H2O + heat (though admittedly
this is not a very reversible reaction.)
If more oxygen is added, the reaction will shift
to favor the products.
If CO2 is removed, the reaction will
shift to favor the products.
If pressure is increased, the reaction will shift
to favor the products.
If temperature is decreased, the reaction will
shift to favor the products.
