Study Notes

Molarity

Molarity is a concentration measure.
It's the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.
Expressed as M (molar) or mol/L.
Formula: Molarity (M) = moles of solute / liters of solution
Moles of solute = mass of solute (g) / molar mass (g/mol)

Calculating Molarity

Example: Find the molarity of 0.3 kg NaCl dissolved in 700 mL water.
Mass of NaCl = 300 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
Volume of solution = 0.7 L
Moles of NaCl = 300 g / 58.44 g/mol = 5.1 moles
Molarity = 5.1 moles / 0.7 L = 7.33 M (or 7.33 mol/L)

Types of Chemical Bonds

Ionic Bond: Bond formed by transferring electrons.
Covalent Bond: Bond formed by sharing electrons.
Polar Covalent Bond: Covalent bond where electrons are shared unevenly.
Non-Polar Covalent Bond: Covalent bond where electrons are shared equally.
Hydrogen Bond: Weak bond between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom.
Metallic Bond: Bond formed by the attraction between metal ions and delocalized electrons.

Functional Groups

Hydroxyl group (-OH): Found in alcohols.
Carbonyl group (C=O): Found in ketones and aldehydes.
Carboxyl group (-COOH): Found in carboxylic acids.
Amino group (-NH2): Found in amines.
Sulfhydryl group (-SH): Found in thiols.
Phosphate group (-OPO32-): Found in organic phosphates.
Methyl group (-CH3): Modifies the function of molecules.

Acids and Bases

Acid: A proton donor.
Base: A proton acceptor.
pH: A measure of the concentration of H+ ions in a solution.
- pH = -log[H+]
- Higher H+ concentration, lower pH (more acidic)
Buffer: A solution that resists changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added.
Buffers are composed of a weak acid/base and its conjugate.
Ka: Dissociation constant of weak acids.
pKa: The negative logarithm of Ka. Indicates the acidity of a weak acid. Weak acids have a pKa value.
