Stoichiometry

What is mole method?

The stoichiometric coefficients in a chemical equation can be interpreted as the number of moles of each substance.

True or false The maximum amount of product formed depends on how much of this reactant was originally present.

TRUE

What is a limiting reagent?

The maximum amount of product formed depends on how much of this reactant was originally present.

These are the reactants present in quantities greater than necessary to react with the quantity of the limiting reagent.

Excess reagents

unit of molality

mol of solute/kg of solvent

unit of molarity

mol/L

The amount of limiting reagent at the start of a reaction determines the ___ of the reaction, that is, the amount of product that would result if all the limiting reagent reacted.

Theoretical yield

What is an actual yield?

The amount of product actually obtained from a reaction, and is almost less than the theoretical yield.

It is the maximum obtainable yield of product actually obtained from a reaction and is almost less than the theoretical yield.

1.66x10^-24 grams

Why do chemists use chemical formulas?

To express the composition of molecules and ionic compounds in terms of chemical symbols and also the ratios in which the atoms are combined.

It shows the exact number of atoms of each element in the smallest unit of a substance.

Molecular formula

What is an allotrope?

One of two or more distinct forms of an element. Ex. two allotropic forms of the element carbon- diamond and graphite- are dramatically different not only in properties but also in their relative cost.

What is freezing point depression?

It is the freezing point of the pure solvent minus the freezing point of the solution.

It refers to the actual number of particles in solution after dissociation to the number of formula units initially dissolved in solution

van't Hoff factor

It is defined as the vapor pressure of the solvent over a solution given by the product of the vapor pressure of the pure solvent and the mole fraction of the solvent in the solution.

Raoult's Law

Raoult's Law is represented as

The vapor pressure of the solution is the product of the mole fraction of the solvent multiplied by the vapor pressure of the vapor pressure of the solvent. Psoln= X solvent * P solvent

True or false If you add a nonvolatile solute to a solvent, the vapor pressure of the solution would be less than the vapor pressure of the pure solvent.

These are attractive forces between molecules, which are responsible for the nonideal behavior of gases and exert even more influence in the condensed phases of matter- liquids and solids.

Intermolecular forces

True or false At a sufficiently low temperature, the molecules no longer have enough energy to break away from the attraction of neighboring molecules.

TRUE

It is a type of force that holds atoms together in a molecule, which also stabilize individual molecules.

Intramolecular forces

What is the difference between intermolecular and intramolecular forces?

Intermolecular forces are primarily responsible for the bulk properties of matter (e. g., melting point and boiling point) while intramolecular forces hold atoms together in a molecule. Generally, intermolecular forces are much weaker than intramolecular forces.

True or false The boiling points of substances often reflect the weakness of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules.

False The boiling points of substances often reflect the strength of the intermolecular forces operating among the molecules. NOTE: enough energy must be supplied to overcome the attractive forces among molecules before they can enter the vapor phase.

What are the different types of intermolecular forces?

1. Dipole-dipole 2. Dipole-induced dipole 3. Dispersion forces/ van der Waals forces

True or false Ions and dipoles are attracted to one another by electrostatic forces called van der Waals forces.

False Ions and dipoles are attracted to one another by electrostatic forces called ion-diple forces.

True or false Hydrogen bonding is a particularly strong type of dipole-dipole interaction as only a few elements can participate in hydrogen bond formation and it is treated as a separate category.

TRUE

These are attractive forces between polar molecules, that is, between molecules that possess dipole moments.

Dipole-dipole forces

True or false The larger the dipole moment, the greater the force. The dipole-dipole forces' origin is electrostatic, which can be understood in Coulomb's law.

TRUE

It can also be explained by Coulomb's law, which can also attract an ion (either a cation or anion) and a polar molecule to each other.

Ion-dipole forces

True or false The strength of the interaction depends on the charge and size of the ion and on the magnitude of the dipole moment and size of the molecule.

TRUE

True or false The charges on cations are less concentrated because cations are usually smaller than anions. Thus, a cation interacts more strongly with dipoles than does an anion having a charge of the same magnitude.

FALSE The charges on cations are more concentrated because cations are usually smaller than anions. Thus, a cation interacts more strongly with dipoles than does an anion having a charge of the same magnitude.

It refers to the separation of positive and negative charges in the atom (or nonpolar molecule) due to the proximity of an ion or a polar molecule.

induced dipole interaction

True or false The attractive interaction between an ion and the induced dipole is called ion-induced dipole interaction, and the attractive interaction between a polar molecule and the induced dipole is called dipole-induced dipole interaction.

TRUE

It allows gases containing atoms or nonpolar molecules (e.g., He and N2) to condense.
