Study Notes
Phase Diagram
- Represents the conditions under which a substance exists as solid, liquid, or vapor.
- Line separating solid and liquid phases typically has a positive slope for most substances, indicating that increasing pressure can convert liquid to solid.
- Unique feature of water: the line between solid and liquid phases slopes negatively, as solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water.
Social Influence Concepts
- Social facilitation leads to stronger performance on simple tasks when in the presence of others.
- Bystander effect describes the decreased likelihood of an individual offering help when others are present.
- Factors leading to the bystander effect include reduced awareness of danger, taking cues from others, and a perceived decrease in personal responsibility.
Group Dynamics
- Deindividuation involves individuals losing their identity within a group.
- Social loafing is when individuals exert less effort toward a common goal in a group than they would alone.
- Group polarization denotes the tendency for group discussions to enhance prevailing attitudes, potentially leading to extreme positions.
Conformity and Compliance
- Conformity occurs when an individual's beliefs or behaviors align with others'.
- Compliance refers to conforming publicly while privately dissenting.
- The Asch Experiment illustrated conformity, showing individuals often choose group consensus over their judgment.
Tactics of Compliance
- Foot-in-the-door technique involves securing a small commitment followed by a larger request.
- Door-in-the-face technique starts with a large request that is likely to be refused, followed by a smaller, more reasonable request.
- The low-ball technique quotes a low price before adding additional costs once agreement is reached.
Obedience and Authority
- Obedience is changing behavior in response to an authority figure's command.
- The Milgram Experiment highlighted people's willingness to obey authority, even to the extent of causing pain to others.
Social Norms and Control
- Social norms are the rules that govern behavior in society.
- Deviance occurs when individuals do not follow these norms.
- Formal norms are explicitly written with clear penalties; informal norms are understood but not formally enforced.
Deviance Theories
- Differential association theory suggests deviance is learned from exposure to deviant acts.
- Labeling theory focuses on how being labeled as deviant influences behavior.
- Strain theory posits that social and economic pressures can lead to deviant behaviors.
Socialization
- Socialization is the process through which individuals learn norms via interactions with family, education, media, peers, and workplaces.
- Fads represent temporary behaviors that rapidly gain and lose popularity.
Biological Processes
- Colligative properties depend on solute concentrations rather than solute identity, impacting vapor pressure, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure.
- Sodium chloride (NaCl) does not diffuse through phospholipid bilayers; water, however, can move through aquaporins.
Chemical Concepts
- Molar mass of elements is noted at the bottom of the periodic table in grams/mol.
- A mole is defined as 6.02 × 10²³ items depending on a context, like molecules.
Physical Science Principles
- Torque is calculated using τ = F∙d∙sin(θ), where F is the force, d is the lever arm's length, and θ is the angle.
- Force during a turning acceleration must consider both vertical weight and horizontal acceleration effects, creating a right triangle for resultant force calculations.
Distillation and Separation Techniques
- Melting and boiling points of compounds vary based on their hydrogen bonding capabilities.
- Distillation separates substances based on boiling points, while recrystallization purifies by dissolving impurities in solvent.
- Chromatography separates mixture components based on affinity to the medium.
Solutions and Concentrations
- Molarity is expressed as mol/L, while solutions can be measured in various molar concentrations (millimolar, micromolar, nanomolar).
- Hypertonic solutions cause cells to lose water; hypotonic solutions lead to cell bursting due to water influx.
Energy and Motion in Physics
- Potential energy (PE) equals gravitational potential energy (mgh), while kinetic energy (KE) is expressed as ½ mv².
- A dropping object’s max speed can be found by equating potential and kinetic energy laws.
Titration
- The equivalence point in titration is represented by a vertical line on a graph, indicating a balanced reactant ratio.
