Cards

Term
coordinate-covalent bond
Definition
shared pair comes from the lone pair of one of the atoms
Term
Factors affecting reaction rate
Definition

reactant concentrations

temperature

meduum

catalysts

Term
Isolated system
Definition
cannot exchange energy or matter with ssurroundings
Term
closed system
Definition
can exchange energy but not matter with surroundings
Term
open system
Definition
can exchange matter and energy with surroundings
Term
adiabatic process
Definition

one where no heat exchange occurs; temperature of material can change

 

(isothermal when temperature of system remains constant)

Term

DG

 DG°= 

Definition

DG° + RT ln Q

-RT ln Keq

Term
STP
Definition

Gases

0°C, 1 atm, 22.4L

Term
Standard conditions
Definition

enthalpy, entropy, Gibbs, and voltage

25°C

Term
Boyles Law
Definition
PV=k
Term
Law of Charles and Gay-Lussac
Definition
V/T-k

Avagadro's principle
Definition
n/V=k
Term
Dalton's Law
Definition

Total P = sum of partial pressures

PA=PTXA

XA=nA/nT

Term
KE
Definition
=1/2mv2=3/2kT
Term
Graham's law of diffusion and effusion
Definition
r1/r2=(MM2/MM1)1/2
Term

crystalline solids

(vs. amorphous)

Definition

ordered structure; specific 3D arrangement 

Ionic: aggregates of +/- ions; no discrete molecules

Metallic: metal atoms packed together closely

Term
Colligative properties
Definition

physical properties derived soley from the number or particles present

 

Freezing-point depression (DT=Kfm <--molality)

Boiling-point elevation (DT=Kbm)

Osmotic Pressure (P = MRT)

Vapor-Pressure Lowering (Raoult's Law...PA=XAA) (DP =P°A-PA=XBA)


 

Term

-ous vs -ic

-ide

-ite vs -ate

hypo- and per-

bi-

Definition

less vs greater charge

monatomic anion

less and more oxyanions

even less and even more anions

one hydrogen (vs dihydrogen)

Term
Ion product and solubility product constant
Definition

=[A]m[B]n

I.P. with respect to initial concentrations (not eq.)

Ksp represents equilibrium or saturated sol. 

 

Term
solubility
Definition
maximum amount of that substance that can be dissolved
Term
Alpha decay
Definition
emission of 42He
Term
Beta decay
Definition

bemitts electron: neutron decays into proton and e-

b+ emitts positron: proton splits into a positron and neutron

Term
gamma decay
Definition
emitts g-particle; just lower energy without changing mass or charge
Term
T1/2
Definition
time it takes for half of sample to decay
Term
exponential decay
Definition

rate at which nuclei decay proportional to number that remain --> Dn/Dt = -ln


n = n0e-lt


l=ln 2/T1/2=0.693/T1/2

Term
Leaving Groups
Definition

provide stable anion on its own, weak bases;

have strong conjugate acids

 

Good: Halides (except F), water, TSO-

 

Moderate: NH3

 

Poor: HO-, RO-

 

Extremely poor: NH2-, H-, R-

Term
Protic Solvents
Definition

With dissociable (acidic) H+ (water, alcohol, formic acid, ammonia)

Stabilize nucleophile

Favor SN1 

Term
aprotic solvents
Definition

lack acidic hydrogen, no H bonding

lack H-O or H-N bonds

(ethers, ketones, halogenated hydrocarbonds)

favor Sn2 reactions

Term
Nucleophiles
Definition

Less EN--> hold electrons less tight

More linear/smaller --> less sterically hindered

Polarizability (increases down table)

 

Very good: HS-, I-, RS-

Good: Br-, HO-, RO-, CN-

Moderate: NH3, Cl-, F-, RCO2-

Weak: H2O, ROH

Very weak: RCO2H

Term
Acid Strength
Definition

More stable conjugate base = stronger acid

"-" prefer to rest on: 1) larger atom to spread charge

2) EN atoms--> ion stability

Resonance stabilization

Neighboring EN groups pull some electron density alleviating atom

 

Strong acids = strong electrolytes (HCL, HBr, HI, HClO4, HNO3, H2SO4-)

 

 

Term
Activating Groups
Definition

increase rate by stabilizing cationic intermediate by donating electrons to ring system

toluene, phenol, aniline (NH2)

 

Term
Deactivating groups
Definition

decrease reaction rate by withdrawing electron density from ortho and para positions leaving meta positions as least unreactive

nitrobenzene, benzaldehyde, ketones, esters, carboxylic acids, sulfo, cyano 

Term
Ortho/Para directors
Definition

groups w/ unshared pairs of electrons (donate to pi system)

Activators: NH2, OH, OR; weak ones: R

Halogens (deactivators): EN so draw electron density, but have unshared pair of electrons

Term
Meta directors
Definition

non-halogen groups with EN atoms

Deactivating groups: NO2, NR3+, CX3 (Trihalides); CN2, SO3H, CO2H, COOR, aldehydes, ketones
