intermediate
A + B → C + D The reaction includes these elementary steps: A + B → X* X* → C + D The chemical species X* is an intermediate.
given a reaction and a rate of consumption (i.e. -0.37 mol/Ls) find corresponding rates of consumption/production.
multiply rate by moles of what you're trying to find. switch sign if on opposite side of equilibrium sign.
Decay to 10% of original value given half-life.
t1/2=(.693/K) solve for K use ln[R]t/[R]o = -kt allow it to be ln(percentage in fraction) i.e. 10/100
relationship of Kp and Kc
Kp=Kc (RT)^dn
K >,<,= 1 and its relation to acids.
K>1 means more products than reactants, so stronger acid is on reactant side. K<1 product side. K=1 both acids same strength.
oxidation numbers
lone element: 0 Fluorine: -1 Oxygen: -2 (except w/ F) Cl, Br, I: -1 (except w/ F & O) Hydrogen: +1 nonmetals, -1 metals Group I: +1 Group II: +2 monatomic ion: charge on ion polyatomic ion: equals out to charge on ion
First order reactions
rate = k[R] [R]t/[R]o = -kt half life = Kt1/2 = 0.693 each half life decreases by half (1/2 * 1/2 * 1/2)
Second Order Reaction
Rate = k[R]2 1/[R]t = kt + 1/[R]0 Each half life is double the previous (20s, 40s, 80s)
catalyst
A substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change
Bronsted-Lowry Acid
A substance that donates a hydrogen ion
Bronsted-Lowry Base
A substance that accepts a hydrogen ion
Buffer solution
solutions that contain a weak electrolyte and its conjugate partner
Find Delta G given reaction and Eo
use formula G = -nFEo
Balance Redox Reaction
split reaction in two (conjugate base/acid) add water and electrons based off oxidation put equation back together if basic add OH-
increasing entropy
melting, isothermal expansion (ideal gas), sublimation, boiling, liquid --> aqueous
Given amps, molarity, and time; how much of a metal is deposited on cathode.
amps x time(s) = A s = C. C x (1 mol e- / 96485) x (moles of metal/ 2 mol e- ) x (molar mass)
ligand
An ion or molecule attached to a metal atom by coordinate bonding
isomer
complexes with different arrangements of ligands
stereoisomerism
involves structures in which the metal ion is surrounded by the same set of ligands but arranged in different ways geometrical and optical
structural isomerism
involves structures in which the metal ion is surrounded by a different set of donor atoms and/or ligands
geometrical isomerism
the possibility of arranging the same set of ligands around the metal ion in a different way. (cis-trans isomerism)
Optical isomerism
nonsuperimposable mirror images of isomers. (mirror images that aren't identical)
cis
"on the same side"
trans
"on the other side" or "across"
enantiomers
each individual nonsuperimposable isomer in optical isomerism.
adiabatic
without the exchange of heat.
Constant volume
no work
