general chemistry help needed
hi there
i have a chemistry exam in the following subjects
if you are good at it let me know
· Ideal gas law
· Use units
§ Volume in Liters
§ Pressure in Atmospheres
§ Temperature in Kelvins
§ Quantities in Moles
· Molar volume at STP is 22.4 L/mole
§ STP Standard Temperature and Pressure
· Standard Pressure = 1 Atm
· Standard Temperature = 0 °C or 273.15 K
· Dalton’s law of partial pressure
· Partial pressure
· Mole fraction
· Partial pressure from total pressure and mole fraction
· Collecting gases over water
§ Remove vapor pressure of water before doing stoichiometry
· Gas phase Stoichiometry
· Remember find moles first then do stoichiometry then go back to volume or mass depending on what is asked.
· Remember “Limiting Reagents” problems
§ Theoretical yield
§ Actual yield
§ Percent yield
· For a given temperature lighter substances travel at greater velocity than heavier substances. Therefore, lighter substances have broader velocity distributions than heavier ones at a given temperature.
§ You should be able to determine lighter substances from heavier one from their distribution curve.
· Graham’s law of effusion
Rate is inversely proportional to square-root of molecular mass
· Difference between Kinetic and Potential Energy
· Units of energy
· First Law of Thermodynamics
· Conservation of Energy
§ Total energy of the universe is constant
§ No free lunch
§ Thermodynamically the universe can be divide into the System (under study) and the Surroundings (everything not the system)
· State functions
· Electron Configuration: How electrons Occupy Orbitals
· Be familiar how electrons are addressed within an atom.
· Sublevels in multi-electron atoms are split in terms of energy. Should be familiar, I will provide orbital energy diagram for exsam.
· Be familiar with the Aufbu build up principle.
· Distinguish between core and valence electrons.
§ Valence electrons is where the fun happens.
· The quantum-mechanical model explains the behavior of atoms within the periodic table.
§ Be familiar with period trends such as
· Atomic radii
· Atomic radii tend to decrees as we move from left to right along and period
· Increase as we move down a group (or family)
· In general atomic cations (positive charge) are smaller than their corresponding neutral atoms
· Anions tend to be larger than their neutral atoms
§ Be familiar with what distinguishes paramagnetic species from diamagnetic species
· Hint: unpaired electrons
§ Be familiar with trends in first ionization energy.
· Tends to increase from left to right across a period
· Due to electrons attraction to increasing nuclear charge
· Tends to decrees as we move down a group (or family)
· Due to electrons decreased attraction as effective nuclear charge diminishes.
§ Be familiar with trends in metallic character.
