Energy Level |
The valence shell where the electrons are located, the closer to the nucleus the greater the energy. |
|
Nuclear Charge |
The total charge of the protons in the nucleus, or the atomic number. |
|
Ionization Energy |
The amount of energy required to move an electron from an atom or ion in the gaseous state. |
|
Electronegativity |
The ability of an atom to attract electrons when bonded to another atom. |
|
Electron Affinity |
Energy given off when an electron is added to a neutral atom. |
|
pH |
A number between 0 and 14 that indicates if a solution is an acid or a base based on the H concentration. pH = -log[H] H = 10^-pH |
|
The Bronsted-Lowry Concept |
Acids are proton [H cations] donors and bases are proton acceptors. The acid becomes the conjugate base. |
|
H-Bonding |
A dipole-dipole attraction that is very strong, between H and F, O or N. Roughly five times stronger than dipole-dipole forces. |
|
Binary Covalent Compounds |
Combinations of two non-metals. The element with the lower electronegativity is written first. The ending of the second element is removed and replaced with -ide. The number of atoms of each element is indicated by prefixes (mono, di, tri, tetra, penta, hexa...) |
|
Binary Ionic Compounds |
Combination of a metal with a non-metal. Metal is written first, followed by the anion with the suffix -ide. For metals with multiple charges, the charge is indicated by (II). In the word equation, -ic indicates a higher valence and -um indicates a lower valence. |
|
Polyatomic ions |
Nick the Camel had a Clam Supper in Phoenix |
|
Binary Acids |
Acids formed by combining hydrogen with one other element. Hydro______ic acid (common) or aqueous hydrogen _______ide (IUPAC) |
|
Oxyacids |
Acid formed by combining hydrogen with a polyatomic ion containing oxygen. -ate becomes -ic. -ite becomes -ous. |
|
Acid Salts |
A compound formed when some of the hydrogen atoms are replaced by a metal. (Ex: sodium hydrogen carbonate) |
|
Hydrated Salts |
Compound that contains water in its structure [Ex : copper (II) sulfate pentahydrate] |
|
Combustion Reactions |
Complete combustion - sufficient oxygen, produces water vapour and carbon dioxide Incomplete combustion - insufficient oxygen, produces carbon dioxide, water, carbon monoxide and carbon soot |
|
Percentage Composition |
-divide the mass of the element by the mass of the compound |
|
The Mole |
6.02x10^23 -a quantity |
|
Empirical Formula |
-The molecular formula in lowest terms To calculate : 1. percent composition to mass 2. mass to mole 3. divide by small 4. multiply until whole -The molecular formula can be found by dividing the total mass by the mass of the empirical formula. This number is then multiplied by the empirical formula. |
|
The formula of a hydrate |
-find the moles of water (hydrate-anhydrate) x molar mass -find the moles of the anhydrate -divide water by anhydrate |
|
Percent Yield |
-calculate the theoretical yield of the reaction -(actual / theoretical) x 100 |
|
Percent Error |
(experimental - theoretical) / experimental |
|
Solubility |
-The stronger the intermolecular forces of a substance, the more soluble it will be -like dissolves like, therefore the more similar the formula of the solute to that of the solvent, the more soluble it is |
|
Concentration |
quantity of solute / quantity of solution |
|
Making molar solutions from a solid |
-multiply the volume of the final solution by the desired concentration and the molar mass of the compound |
|
Making molar solutions from a liquid |
-C1V1 = C2V2 |
|
Net Ionic Equations |
-some ions exist only as aqueous in chemal equations (spectator ions) - these ones can be cancelled out if they are the exact same on both side of the equation |
|
Solubility Categories |
-High>0.1M -Low<0.1 M -Insoluble = negligible |
|
Neutralization |
Acid + Base -> Water + Salt |
|
Titration |
-the amount of acid or base needed to neutralize 1. Write balanced chemical equation 2. L a -> mol a -> mol b -> L b |
|
Charles's Law |
|
|
Boyle's Law |
|
|
Gay-Lussac's Law |
|
|
Combined Gas Law |
|
|
Ideal Gas Law |
-n = 8.31 |
|
STP |
-0 degrees celcius -101.325 kPa -22.4L |
|
SATP |
-25 degrees celcius -100 kPa -24.8L |
|
Pressure Conversions |
101.3kPa = 1atm = 760mm Hg 1 torr = 1mm Hg |
|
Dalton's Law of Partial Pressure |
-the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the pressures of the individual gases -the molecules of a gas act independently from that of another |
|
Vapour Pressure |
If a gas is collected over water, 3 corrections must be made in order to find the volume of dry gas. 1. The level of water inside and outside the tube must be level 2. The water vapour pressure must be subtracted from the atmospheric pressure 3. Find the new volume using the combined gas law |
