The catalyst would have an effect in whichever step it was involved in. It would affect both the forwards and reverse rate.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Yes, the rates would be the same because one mole of reactant results in one mole of product.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A is a variable that represents the proportion of interactions that have the minimum activation energy and are in the right orientation.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Le Chatlier's principle says that a system will adjust to maintain its conditions. For example, if temperature increases, the system will try to counteract the change.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Using the formula PV=nRT, you can change V and P by accounting for differences in the other variables (ex: temperature).

aishwarya_atmakuri

A difference in cell potential (Ecell not Ecell naught) means the cell can do work.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The units for activation energy are joules/mol. Joules gives the energy and the moles makes it standard for the reaction.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Delta U is change in internal energy, while delta H is change in enthalpy. Under certain conditions, they can be equal to each other.

aishwarya_atmakuri

When you reverse the reaction, you have to invert K. Therefore, for a forward reaction, the equilibrium constant is equal to K. For the reverse reaction, the equilibrium constant is equal to 1/K.

aishwarya_atmakuri

If you write the Ka out, it is [H+][A-] and in order to get [H+], you would need to take the square root of the value.

aishwarya_atmakuri

q is equal to delta H under the condition that pressure is constant.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The equation that relates E and delta G uses Ecell and delta G, not delta G naught. As a result, even if Ecell naught is zero, Ecell could not be zero, so delta G does not have to be zero.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The slow step is the rate determining step. The fast step could be before or after the sloe step.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The equations are the same, they’re just written differently.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Rate laws are given for instantaneous rates.

aishwarya_atmakuri

First order means the exponent is equal to one. The exponent is based on the rate order, not the coefficient.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Yes, rate constants are always positive because they represent concentration which is based on mass (always positive).

aishwarya_atmakuri

The graph will look linear and the slope is -k.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The activation energy is how much energy the reaction requires to proceed and this is for both endergonic and exergonic reactions. When there is not enough energy to overcome this barrier, the reaction will not proceed.

aishwarya_atmakuri

It will most likely be given to you, but you can also work backwards from the rate law to determine the slow step.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Instantaneous rate is more accurate for a specific time, while average gives you the overall rate of the reaction.

aishwarya_atmakuri

I would focus on the derivations that were given in class, specifically those for 1, 2, and 0 order.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Make sure units are consistent in all your calculations. Generally, time should be reported in seconds.

aishwarya_atmakuri

For units, make sure you use the units of the components that go in. The order of the rate constant will determine the units.

aishwarya_atmakuri

For units, make sure you use the units of the components that go in. The order of the rate constant will determine the units.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Cp is the heat capacity at constant pressure. Cv is the heat capacity at constant volume. According to PV = nRT, if temperature is changing, that means one other variable also has to change and this could be number of moles, pressure, or volume. It is important to know which ones are constant when c...

aishwarya_atmakuri

w is given in joules. Some problems may represent it as kJ so it is important to pay attention.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Yes, they would be referring to a constant external pressure.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The reaction is transferring heat to its surroundings, so the system itself is losing heat. Therefore, it will have a negative value.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Delta S = q / t. An insulated system has no change in temperature, so the value of T in the denominator is not going to change. However, even though the initial and final temperatures of the system are the same, it would change throughout the progress of the reaction. Therefore, there can still be h...

aishwarya_atmakuri

Vibrational activity would have more degeneracy than nonvibrational activity, so Sc>Sb. Monatomic gases have more degeneracy than diatomic gases because there are more possible states for them to exist in. Therefore, the final answer is Sb < Sc < Sa.

aishwarya_atmakuri

If you are not given a specific heat, you can use the generic formula for a gas. It depends on both the shape and conditions of the molecules observed. For an ideal gas in atomic form, Cv = (3/2)R and Cp = (5/2)R.

aishwarya_atmakuri

R is the gas constant and C is a heat capacity.

aishwarya_atmakuri

In general, if delta G is negative, then the reaction is spontaneous. Simply knowing change in entropy or heat does not directly tell you if a reaction is spontaneous or not.

aishwarya_atmakuri

At a higher temperature, entropy is already higher than it would be at a lower temperature. As a result, the change in entropy will be lower.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Q represents the current state of the system but K is the equilibrium state. Eventually, Q will go towards K.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A buffer is a solution that resists changes in pH and it’s made by mixing a weak acid/base with its conjugate.

aishwarya_atmakuri

If delta H is negative, it is exothermic. If delta H is positive, it is endothermic.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You include all aqueous solutions and gases in the K expression.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You use an ICE table to observe how concentrations change at equilibrium.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You use the combined gas law to convert from liters of gas to moles.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Remove products from the reaction so Q is less than K.

aishwarya_atmakuri

It is when a molecule transfers a proton to another one of the same molecule.

aishwarya_atmakuri

If the change in pressure changed the volume, it affects the concentration. If the change in pressure was caused by the addition of an intert gas, the volume hasn't changed so the concentrations have not changed.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You omit the -x term when the equilibrium constant is very small (less than 10^3) because those changes are too small to have a significant effect on the concentration of reactants.

aishwarya_atmakuri

C is asking about the equilibrium constant, which is a fixed value. D is asking about equilibrium concentrations, which depend on the initial reactions.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The value of K would depend on whether pressure would change from a change in volume (would change) or addition of an inert gas (no change) based on how concentration would change.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Set up and ICE table with initial, change, and equilibrium and use x to represent an unknown change.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Le Chatlier's Principle states that if a system is disturbed, it will counteract the disturbance.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Kc uses concentration while K uses partial pressure.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Q would be greater than K if there are too many products. An external change could cause the system to have Q greater than K.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Bronsted can accept or donate protons. Conjugate Avis is the conjugate of a base.

aishwarya_atmakuri

They would have multiple H or OH.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You need to know whether they are neutral, acidic, or basic.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Cobalt is the coordinating metal in the middle.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The number of dog figs starts after the decimal place for pH. So, if there are two dig figs you would use 2.46.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A strong base completely dissociates in water and there are only a few. A weak base does not completely dissociate in water.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The reaction between an acid and base is a neutralization reaction. The products of this reaction are a salt and water.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A bronsted acid donates protons while a bronsted base accepts protons.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A triple bond would have 1 sigma bond and 2 pi bonds.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The shape of a coordination compound that has 3 ligands is trigonal planar.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Bent has lone pairs while linear does not.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Dispersion occurs between two nonpolar atoms/molecules. Hydrogen bonding occurs when an H is bonded to a highly electronegative atom.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Sigma bond is the first bond that is formed and it the overlapping of two orbitals. Pi bonds are all the remaining bonds and they are formed by side by side orbitals.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Each atom is hybridized based on the number of electron domains it has.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Yes, all transition metals can form coordinate compounds.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The shorter the bond, the stronger it is.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Hybridization is when 2 or more orbitals combine. For example, if a carbon has 4 bonds, all 4 of those bonds are the same. All the electrons cannot be in the same orbital, so in order for them to be equal, the orbitals have to hybridize.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The molecular shape names of the electron domains have roots that you can memorize. Then, try to memorize how you remove electrons to figure out the ones where there are lone pairs.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Oxygen can have triple bonds, but it is usually most stable with two.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Larger molecules are more polarizable than smaller ones, so the general trend is decreases across the row and increases down the column. Anions are more polarizable than cations because they are larger.

aishwarya_atmakuri

No, neon gases are not included in the electronegativity trend, so neon is not more electronegative than fluorine.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Larger size means larger bond length.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A dipole-dipole force occurs when both compounds naturally have dipoles (HI). Induced dipoles occur when both molecules don't have a dipoles, and the induced dipole is caused by a random shift in the electron cloud.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Hydrogen bonding and the polarity of the water molecule allow ionic substances to dissolve in water.

aishwarya_atmakuri

A liquid has high viscosity when it has strong intermolecular forces so it tends to by sticky and slow-moving.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You would have to follow the electronegativity trend. You would have to look at the electronegativity difference of O and S, not S and C. O is more electronegative than S, so there would be a greater difference between O and C compared to S and C, so CO2 would be more ionic than CS2.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You can use the electronegativity difference between the two atoms to determine whether it has more ionic or covalent character. If the difference is greater than 1.5, it is ionic. If it is between 0.5 and 1.5, it is polar covalent. If it is less than 0.5, it is nonpolar covalent.

aishwarya_atmakuri

In an ionic solid, there is an anion with a negative charge and a cation with a positive charge. The electrostatic attraction between the charged ions holds the solid together.

aishwarya_atmakuri

NO2- has 18 electrons. Since 18 is an even number, there aren't going to be any unpaired electrons, so it would not be a radical. NO2 on the other hand would have an unpaired electron, so it would be a radical.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The dual nature of light refers to its properties as a wave and particle. Formulas like c = λv are based of light's wave-like properties. The E = hv formula treats light as quantized photons.

aishwarya_atmakuri

There was a discrepancy in these numbers because C-C bonds have resonance. So, they are partial single/double bonds.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You look at the number of electrons in the outermost shell. This is the number of valence electrons.

aishwarya_atmakuri

When drawing a bond, both dots and lines are synonymous. Lines are usually clearer in depicting the bonds. Unbonded electrons are always shown as dots.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Electron shielding refers to the blocking of valence shell electron attraction by the nucleus due to the presence of inner-shell electrons. Penetration describes the proximity to which an electron can approach to the nucleus. The principal quantum number gives you an idea of how close the electron i...

aishwarya_atmakuri

You need to look at the number of protons and effective nuclear charge to determine the order.

aishwarya_atmakuri

You put the last noble gas configuration in brackets and then continue using spdf normally after that.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The Balmer series is when the electron falls to the n = 2 energy level. The Lyman series is when the electron falls to the n = 1 energy level.

aishwarya_atmakuri

E = hv calculates the energy of an individual photon.
E = 1/2mv^2 calculates the kinetic energy of a particle. Since photons have no mass, this equation is not applicable.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The Heisenberg equation states that the product of the uncertainty in momentum times the uncertainty in position has to be greater than or equal to h/4π. This means there is a minimum number of uncertainty at all times.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The standard unit for wavelength is m, and this is the output of equations relating to light. However, nanometers (10^-9) are also a common unit of measurement.

aishwarya_atmakuri

An electron jumps to a higher energy state when it absorbs energy. It falls back to its original state when it emits that energy.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The energy transition from n=5 to n=1 requires more energy than the energy transition from n=4 to n=2. More energy means shorter wavelength (E=hv), so the electron going from n=5 to n=1 would emit more energy.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The wave nature of electrons affects the electron's energy levels. Electrons form standing waves and each energy level has to have a whole number of wavelengths for the standing wave to exist. So, the wave property of electrons dictates how there are fixed energy levels for each electron.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Use the formula E=hv. We know that h is planck's constant (6.626*10^-34 m^2kg/s) and that v is frequency (1.09 x 10^15 s-1). If we plug these into the equation, we get E = (6.626*10^-34) (1.09 x 10^15) = 7.22 x 10^-19 J. Using the minimum frequency will also give the minimum amount of energy.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Use the number of significant digits given to you in the problem. Make sure you round your answer at the end to avoid losing precision.

aishwarya_atmakuri

Round at the end of your calculation so you don't loose precision.

aishwarya_atmakuri

I believe he wanted you to focus on the reactants for the purpose of finding the limiting reactant.

aishwarya_atmakuri

I would use the same number of significant figures as what is given in the problem.

aishwarya_atmakuri

The best thing you can do is to review problems that focus on fundamentals. Make sure you check your answers and try to figure out what you can improve on!
