Study Notes
Gas Laws and Concepts
- Avogadro’s Law: Equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules.
- Boyle’s Law: At constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure.
- Charles’ Law: At constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature.
- Gay-Lussac’s Law: Volumes of gases in reactions bear simple whole number ratios when measured under identical conditions.
Chemical Terms and Definitions
- Mole: Amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12g of carbon-12.
- Primary Standard: Stable, water-soluble substance available in pure form.
- Standard Solution: A solution with an accurately known concentration.
Acids and Bases
- Arrhenius Acid: Dissociates in solution to form hydrogen ions.
- Arrhenius Base: Dissociates in solution to form hydroxide ions.
- Bronsted-Lowry Acid: Proton donor.
- Bronsted-Lowry Base: Proton acceptor.
- Conjugate Acid-Base Pairs: Differ by presence or absence of a proton.
Reaction Dynamics
- Activation Energy: Minimum energy needed for a reaction to occur.
- Catalyst: Substance that alters reaction rate without being consumed.
- Autocatalysis: Reaction product acts as a catalyst.
- Effective Collision: Collision with sufficient energy that results in product formation.
Particle and Atomic Concepts
- Isotopes: Elements with the same atomic number but different mass numbers.
- Atomic Number: Number of protons in an atom's nucleus.
- Mass Number: Sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
- Relative Atomic Mass: Average mass relative to 1/12 of a carbon-12 atom.
Chemical Bonding
- Covalent Bond: Formed by sharing pairs of electrons between nonmetals.
- Ionic Bond: Electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions.
- Electronegativity: An atom’s attraction for shared electrons in a covalent bond.
Energy and Thermodynamics
- Endothermic Reaction: Reaction that absorbs heat.
- Exothermic Reaction: Reaction that releases heat.
- Heat of Combustion: Heat change when one mole of a substance is burned in excess oxygen.
- Hess’s Law: Total heat change is independent of the number of steps in a reaction process.
Solution Properties
- Electrolyte: Conducts electricity when dissolved in water or molten.
- Hard Water: Does not easily form lather with soap.
- Soft Water: Easily forms lather with soap.
Reaction Types
- Oxidation: Loss of electrons (OIL - oxidation is loss).
- Reduction: Gain of electrons (RIG - reduction is gain).
- Reversible Reaction: Can proceed in both directions.
Equilibria

- Le Chatelier’s Principle: System shifts to minimize the effect of stress applied to it.
Additional Concepts
- Hydrolysis: Decomposition by water.
- Volatile Liquid: Easily evaporates, characterized by lower boiling points.
- Empirical Formula: Simplest whole number ratio of elements in a compound.
- Molecular Formula: Actual number of atoms of each element in a compound.
Environmental and Biological Factors
- Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD): Measure of dissolved oxygen consumed by biological action over five days at 20°C in the dark.
