Electrons in a bond

Every bond, represented by a line, means two electrons being shared.

VSEPR number

The VSEPR number is the total number of electron domains around the central atom, including both bonding and non-bonding (lone pairs) domains.

Molecular geometry

Molecular geometry describes the shape of a molecule, considering the positions of the atoms, but ignoring the lone pairs.

Water's geometry and polarity

Water's molecular geometry is bent and it is polar.

Highest boiling point compound

Ethyl Alcohol (CH3OH) is expected to have the highest boiling point because it has Hydrogen bonding as its Intermolecular Forces of Attraction (IMFA), (strongest among choices). Methane (CH4) – hydrocarbon, nonpolar, LDF (weakest), Carbon Dioxide (CO2) – polar, dipole-dipole (weaker than H-bond), Hydroiodic acid – polar, dipole-dipole (weaker than H-bond).

Study Notes

Midterms review

  • In a chemical bond, two electrons are shared.
  • VSEPR number, electron domains, is the count of domains around the atom in the center of the molecular structure.
  • A domain can be a non-bonding lone pair or a bond.

Molecular Geometry

  • Molecular geometry for a compound with 4 electron domains, where 1 is a no-bonding lone pair and 3 are bonding domains, is trigonal pyramidal.
  • Water's molecular geometry is bent and it is polar.
  • Types of Intermolecular Forces of Attraction:
    • Ion-dipole
    • Hydrogen bonding
    • Dipole-dipole
    • London Dispersion Forces

Hydrocarbons

  • Hydrocarbons contain only C and H, and are therefore nonpolar.
  • The only IMFA present in a hydrocarbon is LDF.
  • Graphite is a covalent network crystalline solid.
  • Fluorine, oxygen, and nitrogen can form hydrogen bonds when bonded with hydrogen.
  • Ethyl Alcohol (CH3OH) has the the highest boiling point of:
    • Methane (CH4) because it's a hydrocarbon, nonpolar, and only has LDF, which is the weakest
    • Carbon Dioxide (CO2) because it's polar and has dipole-dipole (weaker than Hydrogen bonds)
    • Hydroiodic acid (HI)because it's polar and has dipole-dipole (weaker than Hydrogen bonds)
  • Ethyl Alcohol (CH3OH) has the OH bonds and Hydrogen bonding, and those are strongest among the choices.

Phase at 10 atm, 300 K

  • The phase at 10 atm and 300 K is liquid.
  • Sublimation occurs when a mothball disappears over time.
  • Solid-gas: sublimation
  • Gas-solid: deposition
  • Solid-liquid: melting
  • Liquid-solid: freezing
  • Liquid-gas: evaporation
  • Gas-liquid: condensation

Triple point

  • On a phase diagram, the triple point, where all three phases coexist or are in equilibrium, is letter D.

Dilution

  • To determine how much of stock solution is needed to make a solution:
    • M1V1=M2V2
    • For example to make 8.00L of a .5M solution from a 16M stock solution will require .25M
  • In diluting solution, the Liters of solution amount changes, because diluting increases the amount of solvent

Molarity

  • Molarity (M) is calculated using: mol solute/Liter solution
    • Example: The molarity of .444 mol of CoCl2 in 654 mL of solution is .679 M

Conversions and Percents

  • 199 ppm = 199,000 ppb
  • 1 ppm = 10^3 ppb
  • Mass percent = (mass of solute/mass of solution) x 100%
    • Example: Mass percent if you have 9 g of solute and 100 g of solvent is 8.26%.
    • The mass of solution if 109 g (100g of solvent + 9 g of solute)

Octet Rule

  • Representative Elements. The elements in the s-block and p-block of the periodic table, generally follow the octet rule.
  • In a polar solvent, polar substances travel farther from the origin than nonpolar substances; red is the least polar.
  • Normal atmospheric pressure is 1 atm.
