Term
Temperature
Definition

measure of the average speed of molecules Celsius = Kelvin-273 Kelvin = Celsius+273

*Celsius and Kelvin are not the same values, but they have the same increments


Term

Factors Which Affect Phase Change

1.Temperature

2.Pressure

Definition

1.an increase in temperature causes the molecules to move faster. Solid to liquid to gas Decrease in temperature causes the molecules to slow down. Gas to liquid to solid

2.The more pressure a liquid is under, the harder it is for that substance to become a gas. i.e.)slightly increasing the pressure by putting a lid on top of a pot of boiling water. The liquid condenses on the top before falling back as a liquid


Term
Collision Theory
Definition

For a reaction to occur, particles must collide with an effective collision(proper angle - must have a positive and negative to create a bond, and sufficient energy)


Term
Reaction Rate Influences:
Definition

1.Nature of reactants -how reactive are the substances? (will it be a fast or slow reaction? i.e.copper and water reacts slowly during oxidation) -Are the reactants even able to react? (i.e.Gold doesn't react with water)

2.Concentration - the amount of substance -high concentration of reactants = higher reaction(rxn) rate -low concentration of reactants = lower rxn rate

3.Temperature -increase in temp. = higher rxn rate (due to faster moving molecules and thus more collisions) -decrease in temp. = lower rxn rate 4.Presence of a Catalyst - substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without changing the outcome of the reaction


Term
Activation Energy Diagram
Definition

chart which shows progression of energy during a reaction.

Activation energy is the amount of energy required to start a chemical reaction

Heat of reaction(ΔHr) is the heat gained or lost during chemical reaction


Term

1.Endothermic Reaction

2.Exothermic Reaction

Definition

1.heat is absorbed - it is gained. Energy of reaction(ΔHr) is positive

2.heat is released - it is lost. Energy of reaction(ΔHr)is negative.

Term
Reversible Reaction
Definition

Can produce "product" or may reverse to produce "reactant"


Term
Catalyzed Reaction
Definition

Lowers the activation energy needed to produce products


Term
Pressure
Definition

force per unit area(caused by atoms or molecules hitting walls of container)

Factors affecting pressure are: -number of molecules or mass(# of collisions)

-volume of the container(# of collisions)

-temperature (speed with which atoms hit container walls)


Term
Gas Laws
Definition

the "Gas Laws" describe the behavior of gases under various conditions of temperature, pressure and volume


Term
Boyle's Law
Definition

P1V1 = P2V2

The pressure exerted by a gas varies inversely(opposite:increase of volume, decrease in temp., and vice versa) with the volume(if the number of atoms and the temperature remain constant)


Term
Gay Lussac's Law
Definition

V1/T1 = V2/T2

The pressure of a gas varies directly(same:temp. increases, pressure also increases) with the temperature(in Kelvin)(if the number of molecules and the volume remain constant)


Term
Charles' Law
Definition

V1/T1 = V2/T2

The volume of a gas varies directly with the temperature(in Kelvin)(if the number of molecules and the pressure remain constant)


Term
Combined Gas Law
Definition

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

incorporates Boyle's, Charles' and Gay Lussac's Laws into one mathematical formula


Term
Gas Laws Units
Definition

Pressure: P (atm, mmHg, torr, or KPa)

Volume: V (L or mL)

Temperature: T (Kelvin)


Term
Ideal Gas Law (use Sig Figs)
Definition

PV = nRT

Describes the behavoir of an "ideal gas"(no attraction between molecules)

Ideal gas- an imaginary gas that perfectly fits all assumptions of the Kinetic-molecular theroy

P= pressure (any unit)

V= volume (liters)

n = number of moles (moles)

R= gas "constant"

T= temperature (K)

Example 1)What pressure is exerted by 4.50 moles of gas in a 198 liter container at 8.0°C?

PV = nRT...

crpss out like units...P(198L) = 4.50mol(.0821(Latm/molK)(281K)...

198P = 103.815atm...divide by 198 on both sides

Answer: P= .52atm

Ex.2) What is the volume occupied by 9.45 grams if C2H2 at STP?

...convert the mass of C2H2 into moles: 9.45gC2H2 x (1mol/26gC2H2)= .363moles

PV = nRT

(1atm)V = .363mol(.0821Latm/molK)(273K)

V= 8.13atm


Term
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure
Definition

In a mixture of gases, the total pressure of the mixture is equal to the sum of the pressures that each gas would exert by itself in the same volume

Ptotal = P1+P2...+Pn

Example)What is the atomospheric pressure if the partial pressure of N2, O2, and Ar are 604.5mmHg, 162.8mmHg, and 0.5mmHg respectively?

604.5 + 162.8 + 0.5 = 767.8mmHg!


Term
Gas Laws Examples (use Sig Figs)
Definition

Ex.1) A gas occupies 25.0mL at 17.0ºC. If the volume is decreased to a 12.0ml, find the new temperature in degrees Celsius. Assume constant pressure.

V1/T1 = V2/T2

17.0 + 273 = 290K (convert ºC to Kelvin)

...25mL/290K = 12.0ml/T2...cross multiply

...T2(25mL) = (12.0ml)(290K)...divide each side by 25mL to get T2 by itself

T2= (12.0)(290K)/25 = 139.2K...convert back to Celsius

139.2 - 273 = -133.2...use sig figs

Answer = 130ºC
