Study Notes
States of Matter
- Gases have indefinite volume, meaning they can change shape to fill their container.
- Solids and Liquids have definite volume and are not affected by pressure changes.
- Gases have no fixed shape, unlike solids and liquids.
- Gases are easily compressed, unlike solids and liquids.
- Gases have low density compared to solids and liquids.
- Gases are miscible with each other in any proportion.
- Gases are composed of particles that have enough energy to overcome intermolecular forces, allowing them to move randomly and independently.
Gas Laws
- Boyle's Law states that at a constant temperature, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure, meaning that increasing pressure decreases volume, and vice versa.
- Charles's Law states that at a constant pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature, meaning that increasing temperature increases volume, and vice versa.
- Avogadro's Law states that at constant temperature and pressure, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the amount of gas (moles), meaning that increasing the amount of gas increases volume, and vice versa.
Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP)
- STP is defined as 1 atm (760 torr) and 0°C (273.15 K).
- The standard molar volume is the volume of 1 mole of an ideal gas at STP and is 22.4 L.
- The molar volume of a gas is the volume occupied by one mole of gas.
Ideal Gas Law
- The Ideal Gas Law describes the relationship between pressure (P), volume (V), temperature (T), and the amount of gas (n) in moles by the equation PV = nRT.
- R is the ideal gas constant, commonly expressed as 0.0821 L·atm/mol·K.
- The Ideal Gas Law can be used to solve for any of the variables when the other three are known.
Solving Gas Law Problems
- Gas Law problems involve changing conditions, where one or more variables are changed, causing a change in another variable while others remain constant.
- Some problems involve finding an unknown variable, such as pressure, volume, temperature, or amount of gas, when other variables are known.
Reaction Kinetics
- Studies the speed of chemical reactions
- Measured by the change in concentration with time
Factors Affecting Reaction Rates
- Collision Theory: Particles must collide to react
- Concentration: Higher concentration means greater reaction rate, as more particles collide
- Physical State: Reactants in the same physical state or increased surface area, increases reaction rate
- Temperature: Higher temperature means greater reaction rate, as particles have more energy and collide more effectively
- Catalyst: Affects activation energy and rate constant
Rate Expression
- Measures change in concentration of reactants or products over time
- Formula: Rate = [ ] t
- Units: M/s, mol/L.s, Ms-1, mol L-1 s-1
- Time can be in minutes, hours, days or years
- For the reaction A→B, the rate is expressed as:
-
Reactant: Rate = - [A]/t
- The negative sign indicates the disappearance of reactant.
-
Product: Rate = + [B]/t
- The positive sign indicates the appearance of product.
-
Reactant: Rate = - [A]/t
Rate in Terms of Reactant and Product Concentrations
- General form: aA + bB → cC + dD
- Rate = - (1/a) [A]/t = - (1/b) [B]/t = (1/c) [C]/t = (1/d) [D]/t
- Example: 2H2O2 (aq) → 2H2O (l) + O2 (g)
- Rate = - (1/2) [H2O2]/t = (1/2) [H2O]/t = [O2]/t
- Rate of disappearance of [H2O2] is the same as the rate of appearance of [H2O]
- Rate of appearance of [O2] is half the rate of disappearance of [H2O2]
- Rate of appearance of [H2O] is twice the rate of appearance of [O2]
- Rate = - (1/2) [H2O2]/t = (1/2) [H2O]/t = [O2]/t
Rate Expression from Balanced Equation or Vice Versa
- It's possible to write the rate expression from a balanced equation or write a balanced equation from the rate expression.
