    Study Notes

    Summary of General Chemistry Concepts

    • Chemistry is the study of matter and its properties, along with the changes it undergoes.
    • Matter is anything that has mass and occupies space.
    • Atoms are the fundamental building blocks of matter.
    • Elements are substances composed of only one type of atom.
    • Compounds are substances composed of two or more different types of atoms chemically bonded.
    • Molecules are groups of two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds.
    • Chemical reactions involve the rearrangement of atoms to form new substances.
    • Chemical equations represent chemical reactions using chemical formulas and coefficients to balance the atoms on both sides of the equation.
    • States of matter include solid, liquid, and gas.
    • Physical properties describe the characteristics of a substance without changing its chemical composition (e.g., melting point, boiling point).
    • Chemical properties describe the characteristics of a substance that involve a change in chemical composition or the ability of a substance to undergo a chemical reaction (e.g., flammability, reactivity).

    Summary of Thermodynamics

    • Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations in chemical and physical processes.
    • System refers to the specific part of the universe under investigation.
    • Surroundings include everything outside of the system.
    • Open system: can exchange both matter and energy with the surroundings.
    • Closed system: can exchange energy but not matter with the surroundings.
    • Isolated system: cannot exchange either matter or energy with the surroundings.
    • Energy is the capacity to do work or transfer heat.
    • Internal energy is the total energy of a system.
    • Heat is the transfer of thermal energy between two objects at different temperatures.
    • Work is a transfer of energy occurring when a force moves an object through a displacement.

    Summary of Equilibrium

    • Equilibrium is a state where opposing changes or processes occur at the same rate, leading to a constant net change in the concentration of reactants and products.
    • Equilibrium can only be achieved in a closed system.
    • The Equilibrium Constant (Kc) provides information about the composition of an equilibrium mixture at a particular temperature.
    • The magnitude of Kc indicates the extent of a reaction.
    • A large Kc indicates that the equilibrium position is overwhelmingly in favor of the products.
    • A smaller Kc indicates a position of equilibrium is more in favor of the reactants.
    • Kc is unitless and depends on temperature.
    • Rates of forward and reverse reactions are equal at equilibrium.
    • Equilibrium is a dynamic state, meaning that the forward and reverse reactions still occur, but their relative rates are equal.
    • Activities are used to account for differences in behavior between ideal and real solutions.
