Molecular Kinetic Theory

Matter is composed of particles in constant, random motion. Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of these particles.

Boyle's Law

Pressure and volume are inversely proportional when temperature and amount are constant: P₁V₁ = P₂V₂.

Charles' Law

Volume of a gas is directly proportional to absolute temperature when pressure and amount are constant: V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂.

Law of Conservation of Mass

Substances are not created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. The number of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides of the equation.

Study Notes

  • Molecular Kinetic Theory explains the behavior of particles in matter.
  • Particles are in constant, random motion.
  • Temperature is proportional to the average kinetic energy of particles.
  • Gas particles move in straight lines until they collide with other particles or the walls of a container.
  • No energy is lost during collisions (elastic collisions).

Gas Laws

  • Boyle's Law: Pressure and volume are inversely proportional.
  • P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
  • As pressure increases, volume decreases, and vice versa.
  • Charles' Law: Volume is directly proportional to absolute temperature.
  • V₁/T₁ = V₂/T₂
  • As temperature increases, volume increases.

Biomolecules

  • The four main classes of biomolecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.

Balancing Chemical Reactions

  • Law of Conservation of Mass dictates that matter cannot be created or destroyed.
  • Balance one element at a time.
  • Use coefficients, not subscripts.
  • Double-check hydrogen and oxygen.
  • Reactions must have an equal number of atoms on both sides of the equation.

Types of Chemical Reactions

  • Synthesis (Combination): Two or more reactants combine to form a single product.
  • Decomposition: A single reactant breaks down into two or more products.
  • Single Displacement: One element replaces another in a compound.
  • Double Displacement: Ions are exchanged between two compounds.
  • Combustion: A rapid reaction between a substance with an oxidant, usually oxygen, to produce heat and light.
