Q

Shacter-Signer theory

A

event causes cognitive appraisal to cause emotional response OR event causes physiological response to cause emotional response, Shacter two factor, 2 factors to emotional response need both cognitive and physiological

Q

Weber’s law

A

contrast perception, just noticeable difference JND comparing 2 stimuli (ratio) JND = Difference/original stimulus, then must be told the data in order to determine if you can tell the difference (above ratio can tell the difference, below you can’t!)

Q

When do you select “cannot determine”?

A

when you have 2 competing trends, cuz you can’t decide which trend is more important

Q

7 neurotransmitters

A

glutamate - brain excitatation
Acetylcholine- voluntary muscle control, parasympathetic nervous system, attention, alertness
epi/norepi - fight/flight, wakefullness, alertness
dopamine - smooth movements, postural stability
serotonin - mood, sleep, eating, dreaming
GABA, glycine - brain “stabilization”
Endorphins - natural painkillers

Q

Isobaric process

A

Pressure remains the same

22
Q

Relate U, Q, W by the first law of thermodynanics

23
Q

Equation of area of a trapezoid

A

A=((b1+b2)/2)h

24
Q

Conversion from atm to Pa

A

1 atm=10^5 Pa

25
Q>0
Endothermic system
26
Q<0
Exothermic system
27
W (work) >0
System performs work, expansion
28
W<0
Work is done on the system (compression)
29
/\ U>0
Temperature increases
30
/\U <0
Temperature decreases
31
Bernoulli’s principle
Pi+0.5pv^2 +pghi =Pf+0.5pv^2+pghf
32
Continuity equation for flow speed
AiVi=AfVf | Cross sectional area
33
Density of water
1000kg/m^3
34
If a tank is open to the air, what is the pressure in the tank?
Same throughout, so cancel final and initial pressure from Bernoulli’s principle
35
Main solubility rules
All salts of group 1 metals and all nitrate salts are soluble
36
% composition by mass
= mass of solute/mass of solution ×100
37
Molarity
Moles of solute/L of solution
38
Molality
Moles of solute/kg of solution
39
What are the only times we use molality
For boiling point elevation and freezing point depression
40
Normality
Molarity of the stuff of interest
41
Dilution equation
M1v1=m2v2
42
Solubility constants "K" are dependent on
Temperature
43
Effect of pressure on Ksp
High pressure favors dissolution of gas solutes
44
Ion product (reaction quotient) Q
Basically ksp at a specific point in time not at equilibrium
45
Q
Unsaturated
46
Q=Ksp
Equilibrium=saturated
47
Q>Ksp
SuperSaturated, thermodynamically unstable and will spontaneously precipitate out
48
Raoult law
Vapor pressure depression caused by solutes in solution. As solute is added to a solvent vapor pressure decreases proportionately
49
If you lower vapor pressure, what must be done to match atmospheric pressure
Raise temp or boiling point
50
Boiling point elevation and freezing point depression equations
/\T=iKm | I= vont Hoff factor #particles a compound dissociated into
