18
Q

how does entropy work?

A

-gases have kinetic energy due to particle motion
-when barrier is removed, each gas and its kinetic energy is dispersed
-the gas mixture has a greater energy dispersal than the separated components

19
Q

steps of dissolving

A
  1. energy is used to break attractions between solvent particles
  2. energy is used to break attractions between solute particles
  3. energy is released when new attractions are formed between solvent and solute particles, energy is used as heat
    -when the energy released is less than the energy used, the shortfall is compensated by the increased entropy of the solution

28
Q

dynamic equillibrium

A

rate of dissolving = rate of crystallization

29
Q

how do you show equillibrium in a chemical equation?

A

double arrow

30
Q

proportion of solubility (solids) to temperature

A

directly proportional

31
Q

proportion of temperature to entropy (solids/liquids)

A

directly proportional

32
Q

the solubility of a gas in a liquid is affected by:

A

temperature and pressure

33
Q

proportion of solubility (gases) and temperature

A

inversely proportional

34
Q

proportion of solubility (gases) and pressure

A

directly proportional

higher pressure of gas above a liquid = more soluble the gas is

35
Q

Henry’s law

A

quantifies the solubility of gases with increasing pressure and shows solubility of a gas in a liquid = pressure of gas above the liquid

S(gas) = k(H) P (gas)

S(gas) = solubility of the gas (usually in M
k(H) = Henry’s law constant
P(gas) = partial pressure of the gas

36
Q

3 steps of chemical reactions

A
  1. bonds in reactants are broken
  2. atoms/ groups of atoms rearrange
  3. atoms form new bonds and combinations to make products
37
Q

clues that a reaction has occurred

A

-absorption/release of energy
-color change
-production of a gas (bubbles)
-precipitates

38
Q

precipitate

A

formation of a solid product from two solutions

39
Q

purpose of chemical equations

A

shorthand ways of representing chemical reactions that use the chemical formulas of the reactants separated from the products by an arrow

also includes physical states of the reactants

40
Q

reactant types

A

solid (s)
liquid (l)
gas (g)

41
Q

aqueous (aq) meaning

A

substances dissolved in water

42
Q

in solution
dilute

43
Q

how is heat portrayed as a catalyst in a reaction

A

triangle over the arrow

44
Q

catalyst

A

something used to speed up a reaction, not used up in it

chemical formula written over the arrow

45
Q

law of conservation of mass

A

in any chemical reaction, the mass remains constant

mass of reactants = mass of products

46
Q

coefficient uses in balancing equations

A

placed before the formula to support to law of conservation of mass

47
Q

when balancing, never change:

A

subscripts in a chemical formula

48
Q

why should we classify chemical reactions?

A

-predict products in a chemical reaction
-predict if a chemical reaction will occur

49
Q

synthesis (combustion) reaction

A

two or more simple substances react, one complex product

-might require a small of heat/light energy
-forms binary/complex compounds

50
Q

decomposition reaction

A

one complex substance reacts, two or more simple products

-opposite of a synthesis reaction
-most require a continuous supply of energy, used to break bonds in reactants
-reactions that absorb more energy to break bonds than released when forming are endothermic
-some form simple compounds instead of elements

51
Q

single replacement reaction

A

an uncombined element and compound react, so the element displaces the same type of element in the compound, new element and compound produce

-to determine if this will occur, the uncombined reactant must be higher on the reactivity series than the similar element in the compound

-at least one solid (precipitate) formed

62
Q

neutralization reaction

A

reaction between an acid and a base to produce an ionic compound and water

-ionic compound composed of cation from base and anion from acid
-water formed from hydrogen ion from the acid and the hydroxide ion from the base

A

the component ions

64
Q

what happens when neither products are precipitates

A

no reaction

65

68
Q

net ionic equation

A

ionic equation where spectator ions are removed

69
Q

Some laboratory procedures involving oxygen-sensitive reactants or products call for using water that has been boiled and then cooled. Why?

A

When the water is heated to boiling, oxygen becomes less soluble and will bubble out leaving the water oxygen-deficient
