Study Notes

Experiment Exh

Atoms absorb energy, causing electrons to move to higher energy levels.
When electrons return to lower levels, energy is released as electromagnetic radiation.
Each element emits specific wavelengths of light, creating a unique spectrum.
The spacing between energy levels determines the emitted light's size.
Hottest part of flames is blue.
Color of light absorbed and transmitted is shown in a table.

Experiment Ex 3

pH is a measure of acidity or basicity in solutions.
Pure water is neutral.
pH values from 0-14 are used.
pH values less than 7 indicate acidic solutions.
pH values greater than 7 indicate basic solutions.
pH is calculated using the formula pH = -log[H+].
pH meters are used to measure hydrogen ion activity.

Experiment Ex 5

Equilibrium in reactions remains constant if conditions don't change, especially color intensity
Equilibrium constant (K) is calculated (products/reactants).
Le Chatelier's Principle: Changes in concentration, pressure, or temperature shift the equilibrium to counteract the change.
Changing the temperature affects the equilibrium.
Increasing temperature favors an endothermic reaction, whereas decreasing temperature favors exothermic reactions.

Experiment Ex 6

Determining the equilibrium constant for the formation of ethyl acetate.
Equilibrium equation for the reaction is provided.
Equilibrium constant (K) is defined, with relevant concentrations.
Equation for titration is included.
Water is considered in large excess and omitted from equilibrium expression calculations.

Experiment Ex 7

Kinetic study of sodium thiosulfate reaction with hydrochloric acid.
This reaction produces insoluble sulfur as a byproduct.
The time required for sulfur to cloud is a measure of reaction rate.
Rate equations can be determined using graphs of time vs. variable values (It vs Y).

Experiment Ex 8

Topics include oxidizing and reducing agents, displacement reactions, and relative activity of species.
Metals higher on activity series are more likely to replace those below.
Determining relative oxidizing strengths (Cl2/I2).
Investigating the oxidizing strength of F₂.

Experiment Ex 1

Finding percentages of zinc and copper in coins.
Density measurements are involved.
Calculating percent error and percent precision.
Density of a mixed material is a weighted average of the densities of its components.

Experiment Ex 2

Atomic emission spectroscopy is used to determine the spectra of atomic emission and energy of wavelengths.
Flame tests are used to visually identify metals in compounds.
Different metals produce unique colors in a flame.
Wavelengths correlate to different colors.
