    Study Notes

    Phase Changes

    • Endothermic Phase Change: Sublimation is an endothermic process where a solid transitions directly to a gas, requiring energy input.
    • Exothermic Phase Change: Condensation is an exothermic process in which gas transitions to liquid, releasing energy as molecules become closer together.
    • Triple Point of Water: The triple point is defined as the temperature and pressure where solid, liquid, and gas phases coexist.

    Surface Tension

    • Convex Meniscus of Mercury: High surface tension in mercury creates a convex meniscus as mercury molecules are more attracted to each other than to the glass surface.
    • Surface Tension Definition: The energy required to separate molecules at the surface of a liquid.

    Solutions

    • Saturated Solution: Contains the maximum concentration of solute possible at a specific temperature.
    • Unsaturated Solution: Contains less solute than the maximum at a given temperature.
    • Supersaturated Solution: Contains more solute than predicted to be soluble at a given temperature.

    Acids and Bases

    • Arrhenius Acid: Produces hydronium ions when dissolved in water.
    • Brønsted-Lowry Acid: A substance that donates protons (H+ ions).
    • Brønsted-Lowry Base: A substance that accepts protons.

    Reactions

    • Acid-Base Reaction Products: The reaction between an acid and a base produces water and a salt.
    • Strong Bases: Examples include LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, and Ba(OH)2.
    • Products of Strong Acid/Strong Base Reaction: Resulting products are water and salt.

    Oxidation and Reduction

    • Oxidation: Involves the gain of oxygen, loss of electrons, and an increase in oxidation state.
    • Reduction: Involves loss of oxygen, gain of electrons, and a decrease in oxidation state.

    Oxidation Number Rules

    • General Oxidation Number (ON) Rules:
      • ON is 0 for pure elements.
      • ON equals the charge for monatomic ions.
      • Hydrogen has an ON of +1.
      • The sum of ON in a neutral molecule is 0.

    Electrolytes

    • Nonelectrolyte: A substance that does not form ions in aqueous solution (e.g., Cl₂).
    • Strong Electrolyte: Dissociates completely in water (e.g., NH₄NO₃).
    • Weak Electrolyte: Partially ionizes in water (e.g., HF).

    Thermodynamics

    • Endothermic Process: Heat is absorbed during the process.
    • Exothermic Process: Heat is released, causing the surroundings to warm up.
    • First Law of Thermodynamics: States that energy in the universe is constant.

    Key Energy Concepts

    • Caloric Values:
      • Fats: 9 kcal/g
      • Carbohydrates: 4 kcal/g
      • Proteins: 4 kcal/g
    • Conversion Factors:
      • 1 dietary calorie (cal) = 1 kilocalorie (kcal)
      • 4.184 joules (J) = 1 calorie (cal)
      • 1000 calories (cal) = 1 kilocalorie (kcal)

    Molecular Kinetics

    • Heat Absorption: Leads to an increase in the kinetic energy of molecules.
    • ΔH Calculation: Change in enthalpy is calculated as products minus reactants.
