Study Notes
Chemistry Exam Notes
- Amino acids are the essential building blocks of life. 20 were originally identified, with cysteine containing sulfur. Selenocysteine, discovered in the 1950s, increased the total to 21.
- Selenocysteine and cysteine are similar in structure but selenocysteine has selenium instead of sulfur.
- Cysteine's sulfur atom and selenocysteine's selenium atom influence their atomic radii, and thus their chemical properties. Selenium's larger atomic radius is due to more electron shells.
- Different compounds have different boiling points based on their intermolecular forces.
- Strong intermolecular forces lead to higher boiling points due to increased energy needed to overcome the attractions between molecules.
- Methane, ethene, and fluoromethane are examples of hydrocarbons.
- Methane contains single bonds, ethene a carbon-carbon double bond, and fluoromethane does not contain a triple bond.
- Each carbon atom in hydrocarbons forms four bonds.
- All of these compounds are nonpolar in nature.
- More massive samples of substances require longer times for temperature changes and phase changes. Larger amounts of heat are required to increase the temperature of a sample with larger mass, which also translates to more time required for the same temperature increase.
- The freezing point of a substance on a cooling curve is the point at which a liquid substance is in the process of changing to a solid.
- The temperature remains constant during the phase change in a cooling curve.
- Filtration separates a solid from a liquid. A solution of solid and liquid substances is put on a filter, keeping the solid out of the liquid (solution).
- Distillation separates liquids with different boiling points. The liquid with the lower boiling point boils first, and then the liquid with the higher boiling point boils.
- Evaporation is a separation technique that separates a liquid from a solid that is dissolved in the liquid. The liquid evaporates, leaving the solid behind.
- The law of conservation of mass states that in any chemical reaction, the total mass of the substances involved remains constant.
- The mass of the materials should remain the same before and after any chemical reaction and/or separation process.
