Key concepts text chapter 6
6.1
Electromagnetic spectrum, Fig 6.4
Wavelength and frequency are inversely proportional
Energy and frequency are directly proportional
6.2
Photoelectric effect explained light’s particle nature
Photon = packet of energy (particle)
Quantum = smallest packet of energy that can be emitted or absorbed as electromagnetic radiation
6.1-6.2 calculations
E = h v
c = λ v
109 nm = 1 m (or 1 nm = 10-9 m)
c = speed of light = 3.00 x 108m/s
h = Planck’s constant = 6.626 x 10-34 J s
Hertz = Hz = one wave per sec = 1/s = sec-1
6.3
Differences in absorption or emission are related to specific electron transitions
When a photon is absorbed or emitted by an atom, its energy is increased or decreased by an amount equal to the energy of the photon
Ground state vs. excited state
Key concepts text chapter 10
10.1
Characteristics of gasses
10.3
Background: gas pressure is due to collisions between gas particles, and collisions between particles and the walls of the container
Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT (given on test)
P, V are inversely proportional
P, n; P, T; V, n; V, T are directly proportional
R = ideal gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K (given on test)
Convert all temperatures to K to solve gas laws: K = C + 273
Use the Ideal Gas Law to derive other laws that describe relationships among P, V, n, T: Sample Exercises 10.4, 10.5, 10.6
Gas density = (pressure) (molar mass)
(R) (temperature)
Conceptual only: understand that density is directly proportional to pressure and molar mass and inversely proportional to temperature
10.4
Total pressure of a gas = sum of partial pressures
P total = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4….
Given a gas mixture and data about the gas mixture, use law of partial pressures to solve for total pressure
P = nRT/V
P total = (n1 + n2 + n3 + n4…) RT/V
Partial pressure of gas a is: Pa = na RT/V
Mole fraction of a gas (call it gas 1) in a gas mixture:
X1 = moles gas 1 / moles total gas = n1/nt
Partial pressure of a gas (call it gas 1) in a gas mixture:
P1 = (n1/nt) Pt = X1Pt
10.5
Understand kinetic molecular theory of gasses: p. 418
Distribution of molecular speed Fig 10.13
Maxwell Boltzmann distribution: fraction of molecules vs. average kinetic energy, at specific temperature
Average kinetic energy of gas particles KE= ½ mv2 (from 5.1)
Average KE and speed are proportional to Kelvin temperature
10.7
What causes deviations from Ideal Gas Law (qualitative only)
High pressure / low volume (liquefication conditions)
Low temperature
Attractive forces between particles
Large particle size/ large particle volume
Key concepts text chapter 11
11.1
General properties of liquids vs. solids vs. gasses
11.2
Table 11.2: Intramolecular vs. intermolecular forces, relative strengths
Intermolecular forces
London dispersion forces or dispersion forces
Dipole-dipole forces or dipole-dipole interactions
(These 2 are collectively called van der Waals forces)
Hydrogen bonding or H-bonding: requires H-O, H-N, or H-F
Ion-dipole forces
11.5
What is vapor pressure, effect of temperature and pressure on vapor pressure
Effect of IMFs on vapor pressure, boiling point
Maxwell-Boltzmann curve, Fig 11.23
Key concepts text chapter 13, 4.5, 1.3
1.3
Solutions (homogeneous mixtures) can be separated by distillation or chromatography
Filtration cannot separate a homogeneous mixture
4.5
Molarity, unit of concentration, M = moles solute/L solution
Moles = M x L
Sample Exercise 4.11, 4.12, 4.13
Dilution, M1V1 = M2V2
13.1
Intermolecular forces & effect on solution formation
solute-solute, solvent-solvent, solute-solvent
(Energetics is not covered in AP unit 3)
13.2
Definition of solubility
13.3
Solute-solvent interactions: like dissolves like
Substances with similar intermolecular interactions tend to be soluble with each other
