6365473850ElectrolyteSubstance that dissociates into ions when dissolved in water (strong - completely, weak - partially) - ions in water conduct electricity if covalent (delocalized electrons, moving charged particles)0
6365475467NonelectrolyteMay dissolve in water, but it does not dissociate into ions when it does so1
6365521986Precipitatewhen 2 solutions containing soluble salts are mixed, sometimes insoluble salt will be produced.2
6365531183AcidsProton donor (Lowry). Strong acids completely dissociate, weak acids partially= HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HClO4, HI, HClO3, HBr3
6365547924BasesProton acceptors (Lowry). strong bases dissociate to metal cations and hydroxide anions in water; weak bases only partially react to produce hydroxide anions.4
6365555858Neutralization RxnRon between an acid and a base5
6365563365Single Displacement Rxnsions oxidize an element. elements higher on the activity series are more reactive (active).6
6365587334Characteristics of Gases- nonmetallic elements -expand to fill containers -highly compressible -low density -2 or more form a homogenous mixture (can change it by moving due to non chemically bonded components)7
6365595718Properties of a Gas1. Temperature (measure of kinetic energy) 2. Pressure 3. Volume (fill up container) 4. Amount of gas, number of moles8
6365602146Pressureamount of force applied to an area standard atmospheric pressure - 1.00 atm9
6365606963Ideal-gas equationV-T: volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature (increase v, increase t). V-N: volume and moles directly proportional (more particles, the more space they take up). PV=nRT10
6365616110Densityd = MP/RT can find M = mRT/PV11
6365626360Partial Pressures (dalton)if 2 gases that don't react are combined, they act as if they are alone. Ptotal = p1+p2...12
6365636352Mole FractionRatio of moles of a substance to total moles x1 = moles of compound 1/total moles = n1/n1 p1 = (n1/n1)(Ptotal) = X1*Ptotal13
6365646715Kinetic Molecular Theory (motion, volume, forces, energy, avg kinetic energy).1. gases consist of large numbers of molecules - continuous, random motion 2. Combined volume of all molecules of the game is negligible relative to the total volume in which the gas is contained (molecules/volume all together is so small compared to the total volume) 3. Attractive and repulsive forces between gas molecules are negligible. 4. Energy can be transferred bw molecules during collision (perfectly elastic, no loss of energy). 5. average kinetic energy of molecules is proportional to the temperature (K)14
6365672483Molecular speed graphare underneath graph is proportionality of how much gaseous molecules there are. Low temperature --> higher peak, molecules have less distributed range of speeds Higher temperature--> peak lowers, distribution increases because sample is heated and needs to overcome intermolecular forces at a faster rate due to temperature change15
6365690829gas molecular speedindividual molecules can have different speeds of motion temp related to average kinetic Urms = root mean sure speed, associated with avg kinetic energy16
6365736290urmsat a given temp, average kinetic energy of molecules is the same. 1/2 m(urms)^2 is the same for 2 gases at the same temp if gas has a low mass, speed will be greater than for a heavier molecule. urms = sqrt root of 3RT/molar mass higher molar mass, smaller urms expression17
6365759579Effusionescape of gas molecules through a tiny hole into an evacuated space - if molecules have a high speed, hit area with a greater frequency, so greater probability of finding the hole - rate of effusion increases when molecules are fast and lighter - greater mass with less frequency, decrease rate of effusion18
6365761029Diffusionthe spread of one substance throughout a space or a second substance19
6365768911Graham's Lawlighter gas always has faster rate of speed - relative speed of two gases molar mass ratio is dependent on this r1/r2 = sort of molar mass 2/molar mass120
6365775760Deviations from Ideal behavior1. Gas molecules occupy a small fraction of the total volume. it is a negligible volume 2. gas molecules occupy a larger fraction of the total volume --> significant proportion *non-ideal situation with high pressure* With high temperature, lesser chance to hold on to molecules as it is fast moving gaseous condition IMF --> rel. weak (short distance) --> at high pressure/low temp: attractive forces come into play21
6365798362Van der Waals equation (p+n2a/v2)(V-nb)=nRTused for corrected-ideal gas equation (a and b are constants that are always positive values) n2a/v2 --> accounts for attractive forces. pressure is adjusted upwards since attractive forces result in fewer collisions. nb --> accounts for small but definite volume of molecules; subtracted to just volume down to give a more accurate representation of the actual volume available.22
