Study Notes

Chemical Reactions

  • Chemical reactions can be expressed through a chemical equation, where reactants are on the left and products on the right side.
  • The equation $2H_2 + O_2 \rightarrow 2H_2O$ is an example of a chemical reaction.

Balancing Chemical Equations

  • In chemical reactions, mass is conserved.
  • To balance a chemical equation, begin with the unbalanced equation
  • Count the number of atoms of each element on both sides
  • Balance the number of atoms by adding coefficients.
  • As a final step, double-check the balance.
  • The balanced form of $CH_4 + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O$ is $CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$

Reaction Types

  • Reactions can be categorized into synthesis, decomposition, single replacement, double replacement, and combustion.

  • Synthesis (Combination)

  • Two or more reactants combine into a single product following the form $A + B \rightarrow AB$.

  • An example synthesis reaction is $2Na(s) + Cl_2(g) \rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

  • Decomposition

  • A single compound breaks down into two or more products following the form $AB \rightarrow A + B$

  • $CaCO_3(s) \rightarrow CaO(s) + CO_2(g)$ exemplifies decomposition.

  • Single Replacement (Displacement)

  • One element replaces another in a compound following the model $A + BC \rightarrow AC + B$.

  • $Zn(s) + CuSO_4(aq) \rightarrow ZnSO_4(aq) + Cu(s)$ demonstrates a single replacement reaction.

  • Double Replacement (Metathesis)

  • Ions in two compounds exchange, represented as $AB + CD \rightarrow AD + CB$.

  • $AgNO_3(aq) + NaCl(aq) \rightarrow AgCl(s) + NaNO_3(aq)$ illustrates a double replacement reaction.

  • Combustion

  • Combustion is when a substance reacts with oxygen, producing heat and light according to the form $Fuel + O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + H_2O$

  • With $CH_4(g) + 2O_2(g) \rightarrow CO_2(g) + 2H_2O(g)$ being a combustion reaction.

Stoichiometry

  • The mole ratio is the ratio of moles of reactants and products in a balanced equation.
  • For the reaction $N_2 + 3H_2 \rightarrow 2NH_3$, the mole ratio of $N_2$ to $H_2$ is 1:3.
  • Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance and is measured in grams per mole (g/mol).
  • The molar mass of $H_2O = 2(1.008) + 16.00 = 18.02 , g/mol$

Limiting Reactant

  • The limiting reactant determines the product amount.
  • The excess reactant remain after the reaction.
  • The theoretical yield is the maximum product amount from the reactants.
  • The actual yield is the obtained product amount.
  • The percent yield is calculated as $(\frac{\text{Actual Yield}}{\text{Theoretical Yield}}) \times 100%$.

Tensiones

  • Tensiones are efforts that act on a specific area, defined as $\sigma = \dfrac{F}{A}$.

  • $\sigma$: Strés

  • F: Fuerza [N]

  • A: Área $[m^2]$

  • The area must be perpendicular to the force.

  • Tensiones' types are traction, compression, and shear.

  • Tracción

  • Ocurre cuando las fuerzas tiran del objeto.

$\epsilon = \dfrac{\Delta L}{L_0}$

  • $\epsilon$: Deformación
  • $\Delta L$: Cambio de longitud [m]
  • $L_0$: Longitud original [m]

The Young's module is $E = \dfrac{\sigma}{\epsilon}$

  • E: Módulo de Young [Pa]

  • Compresión

  • Occurs when the forces push the object.

  • Cizalladura

  • Occurs when the forces are parallel to the area.

$G = \dfrac{\tau}{\gamma}$

  • G: Módulo de cizalladura [Pa]
  • $\tau$: Esfuerzo de cizalladura [Pa]
  • $\gamma$: Deformación de cizalladura (sin unidades)

Poisson's relationship

  • This relations describe the material's tendency to thin in other directions when streched.

$v = -\dfrac{\epsilon_{trans}}{\epsilon_{axial}}$

  • $\epsilon_{trans}$: Deformación transversal

  • $\epsilon_{axial}$: Deformación axial

  • The elastic limit is the point where the material no longer deforms elastically and plastic deformation starts.

  • Tensile strenght is the maximum about of stress that a material can withstand before fracturing.

  • Ductility is a measure of much a material can plasitcally deform before fracturing.

  • Tenacity is a measure of power that a material can absorb before fracturing.

Lecture 19: Hypothesis Testing I

  • Statistical hypothesis involve an assertion or conjecture about one or more populations.

  • $H_1$: The average blood pressure of smokers is normally higher than that of non-smokers.

  • $H_2$: A new drug has more effective than the existing drug in reducing blood sugar levels.

  • $H_3$: The average height of male students in University A is the same as that in University B.

  • The statistical significance of a statement is initially considered thrue.

  • Alternative hypothesis contradicts the null hypothesis, never containing an equal.

  • $H_0: \mu = \mu_0$ versus $H_1: \mu \neq \mu_0$

  • $H_0: \mu \geq \mu_0$ versus $H_1: \mu < \mu_0$

  • $H_0: \mu \leq \mu_0$ versus $H_1: \mu > \mu_0$

  • In this case $\mu$ is population mean and $\mu_0$ is a specific value.

  • Hypothesis test results from the sample to reject the null hypothesis.

  • Hypothesis test statistic example: $Z = \frac{\bar{X} - \mu_0}{\sigma / \sqrt{n}}$

  • $\bar{X}$ is the sample mean.

  • $\mu_0$ is the value of $\mu$ under the null hypothesis.

  • $\sigma$ is the population standard deviation.

  • $n$ is the sample size.

  • The critical region is where the null hypothesis is rejected.

Errors

  • A Type I error occurs when the null hypothesis is rejected, but is thrue

  • $\alpha = P(\text{Reject } H_0 \mid H_0 \text{ is true})$

  • Type II - failing to reject the null even if it is false

  • $\beta = P(\text{Fail to reject } H_0 \mid H_0 \text{ is false})$

$H_0$ is True $H_0$ is False
Reject $H_0$ Type I Error Correct
Fail to Reject $H_0$ Correct Type II Error
  • the level of significance shows the probability for a Type I error. Common significance are 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10.
  • The p-value is as extreme as in the sample, for the null is thrue.
  • Rule for desicion with p:
    • reject for p-value $\leq \alpha$.
    • fail to reject the null for p-value $>\alpha$
