Study Notes
Module 1: General Chemistry
- Chemistry is the study of matter
- Matter is anything that occupies space and has mass
- Mass refers to the amount of matter present in a material or object
Classification of Matter
- Element - simplest form, one component
- Compound - two or more elements (chemically combined)
- Mixture - two or more substances (not chemically combined)
States of Matter
- Solid: Definite shape and size, definite volume, vibration
- Liquid: Indefinite shape, definite volume (assumes the shape of the container), gliding motion
- Gas: Indefinite shape and volume, constant random motion
Units of Measurement
- Length - Meter (m)
- Mass - Kilograms (kg)
- Time - Seconds (sec)
- Temperature - Kelvin (K)
Classification of Mixtures
- Homogeneous: One phase (e.g., solutions)
-
Heterogeneous: Two or more phases (e.g., suspensions, colloids)
- Solution: uniform mixture (solute + solvent)
- Suspension: coarse mixture (finely divided solid materials dispersed in a liquid)
- Colloid: particle of solute not broken down to the size of molecules
Process of Separating Components of Mixtures
- Decantation - difference in specific gravity/density
- Distillation - evaporation and condensation
- Evaporation - separation by evaporation
- Magnetic Separation
- Filtration
Continuation of Mixture Separation Process
- Sorting
- Centrifugation - speed up the setting process of a precipitate
- Fractional Crystallization - lowering the temperature to separate based on differences in solute affinity
- Chromatography - separating based on differences in solute affinity
Properties of Matter
- Intrinsic: Intensive property, independent of mass/amount (e.g., density, specific gravity, melting point, viscosity, temperature, color)
- Extrinsic: Extensive property, dependent on mass (e.g., weight, volume, pressure, heat content, length, mass/cot, entropy, enthalpy, electrical resistance)
Changes that Matter Undergoes
- Physical Change: Change in phase (e.g., sublimation, deposition)
- Chemical Change: Change in both intrinsic and extrinsic properties (e.g., evolution of gas, formation of precipitate, emission of light, generation of electricity, production of mechanical energy, absorption/liberation of heat)
Types of Chemical Reactions
- Combination/Synthesis - A + B → AB
- Decomposition/Analysis - AB → A + B
- Single Displacement/Single Replacement - AB + C → AC + B
- Double Displacement - AB + CD → AC + BD
- Neutralization: Acid + Base → Salt + Water
Processes Involved in Chemical Change
- Oxidation - + oxygen
- Reduction - oxygen or + hydrogen
- Neutralization - Acid + Base → Salt + Water
- Hydrolysis - Water + Salt → Acid + Base
- Saponification - Alkali + Fat → Soap + Glycerol
- Fermentation - Organic substances + Microbes → Alcohol
Nuclear Change
- Nuclear Fission - splitting of a heavy atom
- Nuclear Fusion - union of two light atoms to form a bigger molecule
Atomic Structure
- Protons = electrons = atomic number
- Neutrons= mass number - atomic number
- Electrons= protons - charge
- Mass number = protons + neutrons
General Principles in Electron Configuration
- Pauli's Exclusion Principle - no two electron shall have the same set of quantum numbers. Each atomic orbital can only accommodate 2 electrons.
- Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle - impossible to simultaneously determine the electron momentum and position.
- Aufbau's Building Up Principle - lower energy levels are filled up first.
- Hund's Rule of Maximum Multiplicity - orbitals are filled singly before pairing up.
Fundamental Chemistry Laws
- Law of Conservation of Mass/Matter - Mass/Matter cannot be created or destroyed
- Law of Definite/Constant Proportions - Chemical compounds always contain the exact proportion of elements in fixed ratios by mass
- Law of Multiple Proportions
- Law of combining weights
Useful Trivias SA Board Exam
- 3 most abundant elements - O, Si, Al
- 1st element produced artificially - Tc= technetos
- Rarest element - At = Astatin
- Liquid at room temperature - Hg/Br
The Periodic Table of Elements
- (Provides a table of elements with organization by properties)
Family A & B Elements
- Family A: Representative elements arranged in the S and P blocks
-
Family B: Transition Elements arranged in the D and F Blocks
- D block - Transition metals
- F block - Lanthanides/Actinides
Periodic Trends
- Atomic Radius
- lonization Energy
- Electron Affinity
- Nonmetallic character
- Metallic Character
Kinematic Molecular Theory
- Explains the phases of matter based on the movement of molecules/ions/atoms
- Solid
- Liquid
- Gas
Solutions
- Homogeneous mixture of two or more substances (single phase)
- Saturated- maximum solute
- Unsaturated - less solute
- Supersaturated - more solute than solvent
Factors Affecting Solubility
- Nature of Solute and Solvent ("like dissolves like")
- Temperature
- Exothermic - solubility decreases with increasing temperature
- Endothermic - solubility increases with increasing temperature
- Pressure (for gases only) - solubility increases with increasing pressure
- Particle Size/Surface Area - increased surface area leads to increased solubility
- Presence of Salts (salting out/ in)- presence of salt decreases/increases solubility with common ion effect
Forces of Attraction
- Intramolecular Forces (within molecules)
- Ionic - electron transfer
- Covalent - electron sharing (polar/nonpolar)
- Intermolecular Forces (between molecules)
- Van der Waals forces
- Keesom - dipole-dipole
- Debye - dipole-induced dipole
- London Dispersion Forces- induced dipole-induced dipole
- Ion-dipole
- Hydrogen Bond
Physical Properties of Systems
- Additive Property- depends on the sum (molecular weight)
- Constitutive Property- depends on type/arrangement (optical rotation)
- Colligative Property- depends on the number of solute particles (e.g., vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression. osmotic pressure)
Colligative Properties
- Vapor Pressure Lowering
- Boiling Point Elevation
- Freezing Point Depression
- Osmotic Pressure
Gas Laws
- Boyle's/Mariotte Law - P1V1 = P2V2
- Charles Law - V1/T1 = V2/T2
- Gay-Lussac's Law - P1/T1 = P2/T2
- Combined Gas Law - P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
- Ideal Gas Law
- Avogadro's Law - V1/n1 = V2/n2
- Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures - Pt = P1 + P2 + P3
- Graham's Law - Rate diffusion = 1/(square root of density)
- Fick's 1st Law
Acids and Bases
- Electrolytes (good conductors)
- Strong electrolytes
- Weak electrolytes
- Non-Electrolytes (do not conduct electricity)
- Acid-Base Theories (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis, Pearson's HSAB)
- Acids (taste sour. pH<7, turn litmus paper red)
- Bases (taste bitter, pH>7, turn litmus paper blue)
- Acid-Base Concepts (Pearson's HSAB)
Buffers
- Resist pH changes when acids or bases are added
- Consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base or weak base and its conjugate acid
- Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation
- Buffer Capacity
Thermochemistry
- Heat (q) - energy transfer due to temperature difference
- Work (w) - energy transfer between a system and its surroundings (compression/expansion of gas)
- Internal Energy (U)
- Enthalpy (H) - energy of a reaction
- Entropy (S) - degree of disorderliness
- Heat Capacity (c)
- Specific Heat
- Endothermic - absorbs heat, positive heat value
