 AP Chemistry Study Guide (Part 1 of 3)
Methods of Separating Mixtures
Distillation - Vaporizes a liquid (based on volatility*), condenses the most volatile vapors, that then condenses
goes through a condenser to change it back into a liquid.
*Volatility - How readily substances become gases
(The lower the temperature when the substance becomes gaseous, the more
volatile that substance is)
Filtration - Used to separate a mixture containing a solid and a liquid. Pour the mixture on a mesh (usually
filter paper) and the liquid will filter through, while the solid stays on the mesh.
Chromatography - Separates a system with 2 phases (mobile and stationary). Phases are based on the
affinities of the components (They move throughout the system at different rates).
- High affinity for mobile phase moves quickly through chromatography system, high affinity
for solid phase moves slowly though chromatography system.
Paper Chromatography - Uses a strip of porous paper (such as filter paper) for the stationary phase. Then a
drop of the mixture that needs to be separated is placed on the paper, and dipped in
liquid of the mobile phase which will travel up the paper.
- The components with the weakest attraction to the paper will travel up
faster than those that cling to the paper.

Assume: 100%=100g reacting 75.0 mL of .105M Fe(NO3)3 with 125 mL
1.) Find the moles of each element of .150M NaOH?
2.) Divide by lowest moles
- If given a .5 after dividing, multiply all moles by 2 Fe(NO3)3(aq) + 3NaOH(aq) --> 3NaNO3(aq) +
- If given a .333 or .666 after dividing, multiply all moles by 3 Fe(OH)3(ppt)

2.) Find molar mass of Empirical Formula grams of Fe(OH)2 there are
3.) Molar Mass/Empirical Formula molar mass=ratio
4.) Multiply all elements in Empirical Formula by ratio found

Determining the Limiting Reactant of a Reaction

Quick way: Look at which reactant has higher mole ratio
- C3H8 + 5O2 --> 3CO2 + 4H2O [50.0g C3H8 75.0g O2 How many grams of CO2 ]
-O2 is the limiting reactant because O2 has 5 moles, while C3H8 has 1
Long way (safe): Do the stoichiometry for both reactants. Whichever gives the smallest number is the L.R.

Note that the compounds are not in solution, so they are gases Root Mean Square
Velocity
Diffusion vs. Effusion R = 8.3145 J/Kmole
Diffusion - The process of gas molecules spreading throughout a room (cooking scents) M = mass in kilograms
Units: J/kg
Effusion - The process of gas molecules escaping a narrow exit into a room (aerosol)
What's the Difference?
How can "R" be 2 different
values?
If we are working with
Boyles, Charles, Guy Lussac, and Avagadro's Law gases, we will use the
P = Pressure (atm) .0821 Latm/Kmole
V = Volume (L) If we are working with
T = Temperature (K) Energy, we will use the
n = Moles (mole) 8.31 J/moleK

When multiplied, there is an inverse relation If you go back to Chapter

1, one of the important
-Boyle's Law: Pressure increases, Volume decreases (vice versa)
conversions was that
When divided, there is a direct relation 1Latm = 101.3 J
-Guy Lussac: Pressure increase, Temperature increases (vice versa)
-Charles: Volume increase, Temperature increases (vice versa) So: .0821 x 101.3 = 8.31
- Avagadros: Volume increase, moles increases (vice versa)
 AP Chemistry Study Guide (Part 1 of 3)
Combined Gas Law
Combination of Boyle's, Guy Lussac's, and Charle's Laws

Ideal Gas Law

In most cases, gases are not ideal and are real gases
Gases only approach ideal behavior at low pressure (< 1 atm) and high temperature
-Use law anyways, unless told otherwise

Dalton's Law
Either have to find PTotal when given the partial pressures, or find a partial pressure when given PTotal and
some of the partial pressures
PTotal can be found by altering ideal gas law equation:
( Zlg[ )
Zlg[ =

Corrected Values - Van der Waals Forces

Real molecules interact with each other and take up space
The actual volume is less because of the particle sizes
More molecules will have a greater effect
Molecules will be attracted to each other which will make the observed pressure less than ideal
Depends on the number of molecules/liter

Graham's Law of Effusion

Gives us best estimate of the rate in which a gas will spread throughout a room
-As gases spread throughout a room, collisions with other molecules will slow down the rate

Mole Fraction
Gives us the ration of moles of the substance to the total number of moles
Units will cancel out

Root Mean Square Velocity

Gives us the average amount of kinetic energy exerted by the gas particles

Kinetic Molecular Theory

Assumptions (Only apply to ideal gases):
- Particles are so small, we can ignore volume
- Particles are in constant motion and their collisions cause pressure
- Particles do not affect each other, neither attracting or repelling
- Average kinetic energy is proportional to the Kelvin temperature
-Two gases at same temperature have same kinetic energy
Tells us the average kinetic energy:

\ =
2
R = Gas Law Constant 8.3145 J/Kmole
T= Temperature in Kelvin (K)
Stoichiometry of Gases
1 mole of any gas at STP = 22.4L
Just like regular stoichiometry, but may need to use gas laws in order to find a missing value

Chapter 6 - Thermochemistry
Basics of Thermodynamics
Energy - The ability to do work
- Made of heat and work
Heat - Energy transferred between objects because of temperature differences
Work - A force acting over a distance
Exothermic Process - Releases heat/energy
Endothermic Process - Absorbs heat/energy

General Picture
The universe is divided into 2 halves: The system and the surroundings
System - Part of the world we want to study
Surroundings - Everything outside the system
Open system - Exchanges both matter and energy with surroundings
- Open flask - Chemicals (matter) capable of escaping, Temperature (heat - A kind of energy) of
reaction can affect be affected by stuff outside the flask
Closed system - Exchanges only energy with surroundings
- Sealed flask - Chemicals (matter) cannot escape, Temperature (heat - A kind of energy) of
reaction can affect or be affected by stuff outside flask
Isolated system - Exchanges neither matter or energy with surroundings
- Thermos flask - Chemicals (matter) cannot escape, Temperature (heat - A kind of energy) of
reaction cannot affect or be affected by stuff outside the thermos flask

Direction of Energy
Measured in Joules or calories
Number tells how many Joules or calories there are
Sign tell the direction
- Negative sign means the reaction is exothermic
- Positive sign mean the reaction is endothermic

Heat and Work (Basics)

Heat - Energy transferred from one object to another object (both at different at temperatures) through some
kind of contact
Work - Energy transferred that takes place when an object is moved against an opposing force
Thermal motion - Random molecular motion that is stimulated by heat energy
Uniform motion - Constant molecular motion that is stimulated by work energy

The Laws of Thermodynamics

First Law of Thermodynamics - Energy of the universe is constant (cannot be created or destroyed)
- Also known as the Law of Conservation of Energy
States that: = = +
q is heat and w is work
Second Law of Thermodynamics - The disorder or entropy of a system tends to increase
- Low entropy = low disorder, high entropy = greater disorder
Third Law of Thermodynamics - Entropy of a pure crystalline solid at absolute zero is zero

The Kinds of Energies

Energy Equations
Internal Energy (U/E) = = +
Enthalpy (H) =H>rxn = = H> (Products) T = H> (Reactants)
Entropy (S) =S>rxn = S>Zpolh T >\glgklh
Gibbs Free Energy =G>rxn = = G> (Products) T = G> (Reactants)
Bond Disassociation Energy* =H = \glgklh T Zpolh

*Remember that Bond Disassociation Energy is:

REACTANTS - PRODUCTS
 AP Chemistry Study Guide (Part 1 of 3)
Internal Energy (U/E) - Energy that enters/leaves a system
- Some energy can return to surroundings as expansion work
- =U <
Enthalpy (H) - A state function: H = E + PV
- E = Energy, P = Pressure, V = Volume
- =H>i = Heat of formation
- =H = q
- Measured in kJ/mole
Entropy (S) - Measured in J/K mole
- If =S > 0 then disorder is increasing, becoming less organized, and more random
- Thermodynamically favorable
- If =S < 0 then disorder is decreasing, becoming more organized, and less random

(Remember to convert to Joules)
-Depends directly on heat flow (=H) and inversely on temperature (T)
-If heat flows to the surroundings, Kinetic Energy is increased in the surroundings
and the entropy will increase. Entropy will decrease in the system.
- A constant heat flow at different temperatures will have a different impact
dependent upon a low or high temperature.
- High temperature will cause a lower entropy change on surroundings
-Low temperature will cause a higher entropy change on surroundings

Entropy Changes of Physical Changes and Chemical Reactions

S(S) < S(l) < S(g)
- Can quickly determine whether or not the entropy of a reaction is positive or negative by
looking at the phases
- If phases are the same, then look at what side has more moles
2O3(g) ---> 3O2(g)
More moles are produced so the entropy is increased (+)
-Aqueous to solids will have a negative entropy (become more ordered)

- Entropy will increase if: Volume increases Temperature increases, Kinetic Energy increases,
particles dissolve, or solid --->liquid--->gas
Gibbs Free Energy - Energy free to do useful work
=G = =H - T=S
- If =G> = negative number, reaction is spontaneous
- If =G> = positive number, reaction is non-spontaneous
- If =G> = 0, reaction is at equilibrium
Bond Disassociation Energy - The enthalpy change required to break a particular bond
- 2 useful things to remember: Draw the molecular structure for the compounds
REACTANTS - PRODUCTS

Spontaneity
A chemical reaction is spontaneous if there is an increase in the total entropy of the system and surroundings
Spontaneous change - A change that occurs without being driven by an external influence
Non-spontaneous change - A change that occurs only when driven by an external influence
Spontaneous exothermic reactions are common because they release heat, increasing entropy of
surroundings
Spontaneous endothermic reactions occur only when entropy of the system increases enough to overcome
the decrease in entropy of the surroundings

Systems at Equilibrium
A+BHC+D
No overall change in disorder
=S 0 (No entropy change)

* Using the equation =G = =H - T=S and the table we can assume:

=G = large negative - (T x small negative)
We know =H is a large negative because it is measured in kJ and needs to be converted to Joules. We
know =S is a small negative because it is already in Joules and no conversion is required.
So , if the temperature is low, meaning the temperature (in Kelvin) has a point in which when
multiplied by the small negative (=S) will result in a number that, when added to the large
negative (=H), the =G will be negative. If the temperature is above that point then we know that =G
will be positive.
-Hypothetically: =H = -1000J/mole and =S = -100J/Kmole T = 9K
=G = -1000J /mole - (9K x -100 J/Kmole)
=G = -1000J/mole - (-900J/mole)
=G = -1000J/mole + 900 J/mole = -100J/mole
-In this case we can see that a temperature above 9.99K will result in either
equilibrium or a positive =G
** Using the equation =G = =H - T=S and the table we can assume:

We know =H is a large positive because it is measured in kJ and needs to be converted to Joules. We

So , if the temperature is low, meaning the temperature (in Kelvin) has a point in which when

=G = 1000J /mole - (9K x 100 J/Kmole)
=G = 1000J/mole - (900J/mole)
=G = 1000J/mole - 900 J/mole = 100J/mole
-In this case we can see that a temperature above 9.99K will result in either

=U = q (at constant volume)
q + w = =EE

Hess' Law
The process of using several reactions' =H> in order to find the =H> of one desired reaction
2 rules: If the reaction is reversed, flip the sign on that reactions =H>
If the reaction is multiplied or divided, so is the =H>
Hidden Rule: Don't be afraid of fractions
=H> = Standard Enthalpy (Enthalpy change for a reaction under standard conditions)
1.) Start by writing the "goal" equation
2.) Then write the other reaction and label (1, 2, 3, ...n)
3.) Look for unique compounds in the "goal" equation and find it in any of the reactions.
4.) Make those unique compounds match the "goal" equation by reversing the reaction or multiplying or
dividing.
5.) Cross out equations that have already been manipulated.
6.) Repeat steps 3-5 until all equations have been crossed out
7.) Rewrite the new equations and add up the =H> values
In-Depth Look at Example
Goal: C6H4(OH)2(aq) + H2O2(aq) ---> C6H4O2(aq) + 2H2O(l)
Eq 1.) C6H4(OH)2(aq) ---> C6H4O2(aq) + H2(g) =H> = 177.4 kJ/mole
Eq 2.) H2(g) + O2(g) ---> H2O2(aq) =H> = -191.2 kJ/mole
X
Eq 3.) H2(g) + O2(g) ---> H2O(g) =H> = -241.8 kJ/mole Steps 1 and 2
_
Eq 4.) H2O(g) ---> H2O(l) =H> = -43.8 kJ/mole

Eq 1.) C6H4(OH)2(aq) ---> C6H4O2(aq) + H2(g) =H> = 177.4 kJ/mole

Unique compounds: C6H4(OH)2(aq) and C6H4O2(aq)
Both compounds are in Eq1 and nowhere else, making them unique compounds
Because they are already on the correct side, and have the correct number of
coefficients, nothing is required to manipulate equation 1
Eq 2.) H2O2(aq) ---> H2(g) + O2(g) =H> = 191.2 kJ/mole
Unique compounds: H2O2(aq)
Located only in Eq2 which makes it a unique compound. However, looking at the
"goal" equation, we see that H2O2(aq) is on the reactants side, not the products, so
we need to reverse Eq2 AND flip the sign for the =H> of Eq2 (Rule 1)
Eq 4.) 2H2O(g) ---> 2H2O(l) =H> = -87.6 kJ/mole
Unique compounds: H2O(l)
Located only in Eq4 which makes it a unique compound. However, there are 2
moles of H2O(l) in the "goal" equation and only 1 mole in Eq4, which means we need Steps 3-6
to multiply Eq4 by 2 AND multiply the =H> of Eq4 by 2 (Rule 2)
Eq 3.) 2H2(g) + O2(g) ---> 2H2O(g) =H> = -483.6 kJ/mole
Unique compounds: none
When looking at this equation we see that there are no unique compounds (phases
matter). So, when there are no unique compound we must look at the other
equations to see what we will have to do to manipulate this equation. We can
approach this case 1 of 2 ways.
1.) We see that there is an excess O2(g) on equation 2 that is not in the
"goal" equation so we need to make it so the O2(g) will cancel, which means
multiply Eq3 by 2.
2.) We see that there is 2H2O(g) as a reactant in Eq4, but it is not located in
the "goal" equation. So we need to make it so the H2O(g) will cancel, which
means we must multiply Eq3 by 2.
Either way, we need to multiply Eq3 by 2 AND the =H> of Eq3 by 2 (Rule 2/Hidden)

Eq 1.) C6H4(OH)2(aq) ---> C6H4O2(aq) + H2(g) =H> = 177.4 kJ/mole
Eq 2.) H2O2(aq) ---> H2(g) + O2(g) =H> = 191.2 kJ/mole
Eq 3.) 2H2(g) + O2(g) ---> 2H2O(g) =H> = -483.6 kJ/mole
Step 7
Eq 4.) 2H2O(g) ---> 2H2O(l) =H> = -87.6 kJ/mole

177.4kJ/mole + 191.2 kJ/mole - 483.6 kJ/mole - 87.6 kJ/mole = -202.6 kJ/mole

Pauli exclusion principle - No two electrons in a given atom can have the same set of quantum numbers
Only two electrons with opposite spins can occupy a given orbital

65.) Give the maximum number of electrons in an atom that can have these quantum numbers
a.) n = 4
b.) n = 5, m = +1
X
c.) n = 5, ms = +
_
d.) n = 3, = 2
e.) n = 2, = 1
a.) n = 4. Because it doesn't give a specific value, we use the n-1 = to find that = 3. With this
we can see that there is a total of 16 orbitals when n = 4 (1 from 4s, 3 from 4p, 5 from 4d,
and 7 from 4f). And we also know through the Pauli exclusion principle that one orbital
can only carry a maximum of 2 electrons with opposite spins. So 16 x 2 = 32 electrons.
b.) n = 5, m = +1. This problem goes into the imaginary orbital g. We also know that the m value
ranges from + to - . And when n = 5, it will have all the previous and m
values along with an additional row which will be:
n Subshell m Orbitals in Orbitals in
Subshell Shell
5 0 4s 0 1
1 4p 1, 0, -1 3
2 4f 2, 1, 0 , -1, -2 5
3 4d 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3 7
4 4g 4, 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3, -4 9 25
We were also given that m = +1. From this we can say that there are only 4
subshells capable of containing that specific m value (4p, 4d, 4f, and 4g). 4 x 2= 8
electrons.
X
c.) n = 5, ms = + . Again, we go back to the imaginary g orbital. This time, we are not given any
_
specific value, so we again use n -1 = to find that = 4, With this we see that
there is a total of 25 orbitals when n = 5. So 25 x 2 = 50 electrons. However, it
X
told us ms = + which means to account for only the electrons spinning in a
_
positive direction. So we divide 50 by 2 to get a total of 25 electrons.
 AP Chemistry Study Guide (Part 1 of 3)
d.) n = 3, = 2. Following the chart, we see that this takes us to the 3d row. And there is a total of 5 orbitals in
that subshell. 5 x 2 = 10 electrons.
e.) n = 2, = 1. Following the chart, we see that this takes us to the 2p row. And there is a total of 3 orbitals in
that subshell. 3 x 2 = 6 electrons.

half-filled or full orbitals (will be harder to remove)
Atomic Size: Across a row - Decreases; Down a group - Increases

Electron Affinity: Across a row - More negative; Down a group - More positive
Ionic Size: Across a row - Decreases; Down a group - Increases
Electronegativity: Across a row - Increases; Down a group - Decreases
-The tendency for an atom to attract electrons to itself when chemically combined with another
element. Corresponds directly with electron affinity.

Metals: Low ionization energy, low effective nuclear charge, low electronegativity.
Nonmetals: More negative electron affinity, high electronegativity (except noble gases)
