Study Notes

Basic Concepts from General Chemistry

  • Atomic Weight: Relative weights of atoms compared to carbon (standard = 12).
  • Gram Atomic Weight: Quantity of an element in grams equal to its atomic weight.
  • Gram Molecular Weight (GMW/MW): Molecular weight in grams of a compound (also called a mole).
  • Molar Solution: 1 gram molecular weight dissolved in enough water to make 1 liter. Used for equilibrium calculations.
  • Molal Solution: 1 gram molecular weight dissolved in 1 liter of water. Used when properties like vapor pressure, freezing/boiling points are influenced.
  • Equivalent Weight (EW): MW / Z, where Z is the absolute value of the ion charge or the change in valence in a redox reaction; The number of H⁺ or OH⁻ ions a species can react with or yield in an acid-base reaction.

Calculating Atomic Weight

  • Refer to the Periodic Table.
  • Isotopes: Different forms of the same element. Example: Chlorine has isotopes
    • 35Cl (atomic mass = 34.969, Abundance = 75.77%)
    • 37Cl (atomic mass = 36.966, Abundance = 24.23%)
  • Calculate the average atomic weight using isotope abundance and mass.

Calculating Equivalent Weight of Ca2+, CaCO3

  • Ca2+: EW = MW/Z = 40 g/mol / 2 = 20 g/equiv
  • CaCO3:
    • MW = (40 x 1) + (12 x 1) + (16 x 3) = 100 g/mol
    • EW = MW/Z = 100 g/mol / 2 = 50 g/equiv

Ionic and Covalent Bonds

  • Ionic Bond: Formed by electron transfer between atoms.
  • Covalent Bond: Formed by shared electrons between atoms.
  • Valency (Oxidation Number): Number of electrons an atom can gain, lose, or share.

Redox Reactions

  • Oxidation: Loss of electrons, resulting in a positive charge.
  • Reduction: Gain of electrons, resulting in a negative charge.

Chemical Equations

  • Balancing Chemical Equations: Ensure equal numbers of each type of atom on both sides of the equation.
  • Conservation of Mass: Total mass of reactants = total mass of products.

Gas Laws

  • Boyle's Law: Volume and pressure of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature.
  • Charles' Law: Volume and temperature of a gas are directly proportional at constant pressure.
  • Combined Gas Law (Ideal Gas Law): PV = nRT, where P = pressure, V = volume, n = moles, R = ideal gas constant, T = absolute temperature.
  • Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures: Each gas in a mixture exerts its pressure independently, equal to the pressure it would exert if it were alone.
  • Henry's Law: The solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid.

Solutions

  • Vapor Pressure: The pressure exerted by vapor in equilibrium with its liquid in a closed system; Presence of solute lowers vapor pressure.
  • Raoult's Law: The extent of reduction in a solution's vapor pressure is proportional to the concentration of solute particles.

Other Concepts

  • Graham's Law: Rates of gas diffusion are inversely proportional to the square root of their densities.
  • Gay-Lussac's Law of Combining Volumes: The volumes of gases involved in a reaction (at constant temperature and pressure) can be expressed as ratios of small whole numbers.
