What is the definition of density?
Density = mass / volume
To how many decimal places should the volume of liquid in a buret be recorded?
2 decimal places
0.01
The _____ is the curved surface that appears at the top of the liquid container ( such as a buret it pipet).
meniscus
How to calculate Rf ( ratio to front)
Distance of component / distance of solvent
True or False?
Only colored substances can be separated and identified by paper chromatography.
False
True or False?
If a component in a mixture interacts more strongly with the stationary (paper) phase, it will travel up the paper strip at a faster rate than a component that interacts more strongly with the liquid phase.
False
Standard Deviation
s = sqrt [ sum ( xi-xo ) ^ 2 / n — 1 ]
xi = no. given ; xo = mean ; n = tot no.
% Error
( observed value - true value / true value ) * 100
What is spectroscope?
Tool that helps determine atomic hydrogen emission line positions.
T or F
Electrons in a ground-state can be excited to a high- energy state by absorption of energy.
T
What is
The visible region of wavelength?
370-700 nm
How to calculate wavelength?
1/ wavelength =
Rh • (1/lower#)^2 - (1/higher#)^2
Rh—Rydberg’s constant: 1.10•10^7”
Wavelength in terms of energy?
E=hv
c=wavelength•v
h—Planck’s constant: 6.62608•10^-34
c—speed of light: 3.00•10^8
Order from highest to lowest energy:
ultraviolet / visible / infrared
Ultraviolet - highest
Visible
Infrared - lowest
The water that is present in ionic salts are called what?
Water of hydration
What is it called when some hydrates lose water to the atmosphere upon standing?
Efflorescence
What is it called when some anhydrous ionic compounds will tend to absorb water from the air or other sources?
Hygroscopic
What is it called when hygroscopic compounds can take up so much water from the air that they dissolve in the water they absorb?
Deliquescence
Are carbohydrates hydrates?
No!! Foo
What is a hydrate?
A compound whose formula includes a specific number of water molecules
What is the “octet rule”?
8 electrons ; stability
Can hydrogen be a central atom?
No, H can only form 1 bond
T or F
Molecules in which beryllium or boron are the central atom are often electron deficient.
T, Foo!
How do you calculate the formal charge?
Valence electrons - dots - lines
