Study Notes

Chemistry Study Notes

Types of Mixtures

  • A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture that does not have a uniform composition and in which the individual substances remain distinct.
  • Examples of heterogeneous mixtures include coffee and corn starch with water.
  • A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture, such as muddy water.

Energy and Work

  • Energy is the capacity to do work or produce heat.
  • The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed from one form to another.
  • Chemical potential energy is the energy stored in the bonds of chemical compounds.
  • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two bodies due to a temperature difference.
  • The unit commonly used to measure energy in the International System of Units (SI) is the Joule.
  • Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one gram of a substance by one degree Celsius.

Concentration and Reaction Rates

  • Concentration refers to the amount of substance present in a system.
  • Reaction rate is the speed at which a chemical reaction takes place.
  • Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur.
  • Catalysts are substances that increase the rate of a chemical reaction without being consumed in the process.
  • Surface area affects the rate of a reaction by influencing the number of collisions between reacting particles.
  • Molality is a measure of concentration that expresses the number of moles of solvent per liter of solution.

Catalysts

  • Homogeneous catalysts exist in the same phase as the reactants.
  • Heterogeneous catalysts exist in a different phase from the reactants.

Calorimeter

  • A calorimeter is a device used to measure the heat of a reaction.
  • The parts of a calorimeter include a thermometer, ignition wires, stirrer, oxygen, insulated container, and water.

Reaction Mechanisms

  • A reaction mechanism is the sequence of individual chemical reactions that occur to bring about the overall reaction.
  • An intermediate is an unstable species formed in one step of a multi-step reaction and consumed in another step.
  • The rate constant of a reaction changes with temperature.
  • The specific rate constant (k) is a measure of reaction order.
  • The method of initial rates is used to determine the rate law of a reaction.

Acids and Bases

  • An amphoteric substance is one that can act as both an acid and a base.
  • The Bronsted-Lowry model extends the concept of acids and bases to substances other than water.
  • pH measures the concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution.
  • Weak acids partially dissociate in water.
  • A basic solution has a pOH greater than 7, while an acidic solution has a pOH less than 7.
  • pOH is the negative logarithm of the hydroxide ion concentration in a solution.

Solvation Process

  • Solvation refers to the process of solvent particles surrounding solute particles to form a solution.

Factors Affecting Solvation

  • Lowering the temperature can decrease the rate of solvation.

Supersaturated Solution

  • A supersaturated solution is made by heating to high temperature, saturating, and then slowly cooling.

Energy Change During Solution Formation

  • The process of energy change that occurs during solution formation is known as the heat of solution.

Solute Properties

  • Solubility is the property of a solute that describes its ability to dissolve in a solvent.
