Questions and Answers

What is meant by the simplest formula of a compound?

The lowest whole number ratio of the atoms in the formula.

How does a hydrate differ from an anhydrate?

A hydrate is combined with a specific number of water molecules; an anhydrate is an ionic compound that remains when all water is removed.

What happens when a hydrate is heated?

The water will evaporate and water molecules are removed.

Why is it important that cell membranes are semipermeable?

Because nutrients can be brought into a cell. Signup and view all the answers

What are the differences between solutions, colloids, and suspensions?

Solutions are filtered out by semipermeable membranes; colloids are smaller and cannot be filtered out by filter paper; suspensions are larger and cannot be filtered out by filter paper. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

Compound Formulas

Simplest formula: lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound.

Hydrates and Anhydrates

Hydrate: ionic compound combined with a specific number of water molecules.
Anhydrate: removes water, leaving a pure ionic compound.

Heating Hydrates

Heating causes water in hydrates to evaporate, resulting in the removal of water molecules.

Mass Loss Calculations

To find mass of water lost from a hydrate, subtract anhydrate mass from hydrate mass.
Example: 6.00g hydrate - 3.27g anhydrate = 2.73g H2O lost.

Percentage of Water in Hydrate

Calculate % water in hydrate using: (mass of H2O / mass of hydrate) x 100.
Example: (2.73g / 6.00g) x 100 = 45%.

Chemical Equations

Dehydration of CoCl2 hydrate:
- 6H2O + CoCl2 -(HEAT)-> CoCl2 + 6H2O.
Balanced equation for Mg with O2:
- 2Mg + O2 -(HEAT)-> 2MgO.
Dehydration of MgSO4 hydrate:
- MgSO4 + 7H2O -(HEAT)-> MgSO4 + 7H2O.

Osmosis and Cell Membranes

Cucumber in concentrated salt solution: placement in hypertonic solution draws water out via osmosis.
Semipermeable cell membranes allow nutrient intake.

Mixtures and Solutions

Solutions can be filtered out by semipermeable membranes.
Colloids consist of smaller particles that cannot be filtered by filter paper.
Suspensions contain larger particles also unable to be filtered by paper.

Concentration Differences

Higher concentration solutions yield greater osmotic effects; examples include various concentrations of starch and glucose.

Effects of Solutions on Cells

Hypertonic solutions cause crenation; hypotonic solutions lead to hemolysis.
Isotonic solutions exhibit no change in cell shape.

Indicators and Reactions

Benedict's reagent turns orange-red for glucose; iodine turns blue-black for starch; AgNO3 forms white precipitate with chloride.
Dialysis bag experiments reveal molecules like glucose and Cl- crossing semipermeable membrane.

Gas Laws and Pressure

Combined gas law: P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2; rearranged gives V2 = V1P1T2/P2T1.
Distinction between vapor pressure (pressure of vapor over liquid) and atmospheric pressure (force exerted by atmosphere).

Standard Conditions

Standard temperature and pressure (STP): 0°C (273K) and 1 atm (760 mmHg).
Molar volume of a gas at STP is 22.4 L/mol.

pH and Solutions

pH is closely related to [H3O+]: pH = -log[H3O+].
Adding an acid to water raises [H+] and lowers pH; adding a base raises the pH.

Buffer Systems

Buffers stabilize pH by neutralizing excess acids or bases—maintaining equilibrium.
Blood pH between 7.35 and 7.45 managed by bicarbonate buffer system.

Neutralization Reactions

Neutralization involves H+ ions from an acid and OH- from a base forming salt and water.
Example reaction: H2SO4 + 2 KOH → K2SO4 + 2 H2O.

Titration Process

Titration determines the amount of base needed to neutralize an acid using indicators for endpoint detection.
