Examkrackers Chemistry: Lecture 4
what is reaction rate definition
(-1/a)(delta[A]/t) rate at equilibrium is zero for NET reaction rate, but forward and reverse still happening
standard state
(Indicated by not sign!)For a pure substance, the most stable form of the substance at 1 atm and a specified temperature, usually 25°C: for a gas, 1 atm; for a solution, concentration of 1 molarl varies with phase, a set of thermodynamic property values, for a pure solid or liquid the standard state is the reference form of a substance at any chosen temp T and pressure 1bar, reference form is usually the form that is most stable at 1 bar and the chosen temp, for pure gas the reference form must behave like ideal gas all species starting at 1 moles *usually always 25 C
what is standard temp and pressure and standard ambient temp/pressure
(STP) pressure of 1 atm and temp 237 K (0 C) standard ambient temp and pressure (SATP) is pressure 1 atm, temp 298 K (25C)
what are three types of stress that Le Chatliers principle is used for
1. 1. addition or removal of a product or reactant 2. changing the pressureo r volume of the system 3. heating or cooling the system
what are three possible modes/degrees of freedom of translational motion
1. along x axxis 2. along y axis 3. along z axis
what are the two properties used to describe macroscopic state of the system and difference between them
1. extensive 2. intensive extensive properties change with amount, intensive properties the same no matter how much substance is present
what are two requirements for a given collision to initiate reaction
1. relative kinetic energies of colliding compounds but be greater than or equal to threshold activation energy (a measure of velocity) 2. atoms of both molecules must align in specific way for collision to result in reaction, otherwise even with enough eenergy to reaction occurs (both conditions must be met)
what are teh five ways to know what delta H is for a reaciton on MCAT
1. they tell you 2. heat measured with calorimeter and heat is negative delta H 3. intuitive, even if you dont know magnitude you may know combustion releases heat so is negative delta H, same thing for phase changes, ie you have to add heat to melt so positive deltaH 4. given table of bond energies, keep track of bonds broken and formed in reaction, forming bonds releases energy and breaking requires input, you can sum the energy heat absorbed and released in the reaction 5. calculate delta H using standard enthalpies of formation
enthalpy
= U + PV where U is internal energy and PV is pressure/volume
temp dependence for value of rate constant is demonstrated by what equation
Arrhenius equation
how does Le chatliers work in the blood
Co2 converted to protons and bicarbonate by enzyme carbonic anhydrase H20+CO2<--->H2CO3<-->HCO3- + H+ when CO2 accumulates in the tissue the equation shifts right and produces acidic protons, because body must maintain pH within a narrowrange, kidney eliminates excess protons in the blood, similarly relying on equilibriums
enthalpy is
U+PV
does catalyst change activation energy in both directions
YES (but by different amounts)
PV work
a chemical system at reset performs _________ by changing its size or shape using energy from the system
Boltzmann's Constant
a physical constant relating the average kinetic energy of particles in a gas with the temperature of the gas; it is the gas constant R divided by Avogadro's number (1.38x10^-23 J K^-1)
how to solve for change in internal energy
according to first law of thermodynamics delta E = q+ w for heat flow into the system and work done on the system can be rewritten for closed system at rest with no electric or magnetic field, only energy change is internal energy (if no chnge in volume then no work of any kind so deltaU=q) deltaU = q+w where U is internal energy if no change in volume there is no work of any kind and the change in internal energy is equal to heat (deltaU =q)
energy transfer from the system to the surroundings is classified as heat or work according to what
according to the effect on the surroundings rather than the effect on the system (if transfer to surroundings causes random molecular collisions then it is heat, but if transfer to outside causes ordered molecular collisions it is defined as work)
what to do with rate constant for reactions with catalyst
ahve separate rate constants, because castalyst does no prevent the original reaction from proceeding, the total rate is given by teh sum of the rates of both reactions, usually rate of original reaciton is negligable compared to the rate of the catalyzed reaction
if reaction is negative enthalpy and positive entropy is it spontaneous
always
what is haber process

rate law
an expression relating the rate of a reaction to the concentration of the reactants rate forward= kf[A]^a[B]^b incorporates only concentrations of reactants since products tend to start getting reversed, kf is the rate constant for the forward direction a and B are the reaction order of each reaction, can be used to determine how changes in initial concentration affect the reaction rate,, shows rate can be increased by increasing concentration of reactants (makes sense because ore collisions)

when does delta u equal delta H
at constant volume delta u =q which means that at constant volume and pressure these are equal
when do you measure product concentration for reaction rate
at initial moments of the reaction because most reactions will quickly start reversing and thus products concentrations are scewed when converted back
describe celcius scale major points
at pressure of 1atm water freezes at 0 and boils 100
why does a reaction move to/stay at equilibrium
because nature tends to increase entropy and eq is point of greatest entropy
what is Newtons law of cooling
bodys rate of cooling is proportional to the temp difference between the body and its environment, when radiation strikes an opaque surface only a fraction is absorbed and the rest is reflected, fraction absorbed is indicated by emissivity of the surface which depends on surface composition
bond breaking vs forming whichrequires energy
bond breaking requires energy bond formation releases energy
which represents internal energy U or E

what main system in our body/plants is catabolic vs anabolic example
cellular respiration is catabolic (breaks glucose into water and CO2 and accompanied by energy release) photosyntehsis opposite of anabolic (water and CO2 combined to form glucosei n endothermic reaction that requires energy input from the sun)
what doe first law of thermodynamics say
change in energy is the sum of heat and work, can get more energy out tha nwhat you put in
what is heat of reaction
change in enthalpy from reactants to products, since enthalpy approximates heat in many reactions in the lab
why is one particular step slower or faster
characteristics of the molecule and their interactions determine rate, ie if one moelcule bulky or sterically hindered it will be harder for other molecules to react with it
in an elementary reaction what do coefficients tell you for reaction
coefficients tell you how many molecuels participate in the reaction collision
absolute zero
coldest temperature, 0 Kelvin, that can be reached; hypothetical temperature at which all molecular motion stops. approxx -237 C, can be determined using volume of an ideal gas because volume vs temp is linear for any givven temp, at some point nbecome liquids at low temp, lines for ressure on the graph though intersects at smae point for all gasses on temp axis

what is translational energy
created by movement of the center of mass of a molecule
what is roational energy
created by the rotation of a molecule around its center of mass, spatial orientation of the body changes, center of mass remains fixed and each point in molecule is fixed relative to all other points
as activation energy increases what happens to rate constant
decreases
what is the equation for delta G and how to remember it
delta G = deltaH -Tdelta S good honey tastes sweet t is temp of the system delta h is delta h enthalpy changeo f system
what is difference between delta G and delta G not
delta G not specific value of delta G when all species have starting concentrations of one molar, uner these conditions Q=1 and RTln(Q)=0 so deltaG=deltaGnot which is what we would expect for reaction in standard conditions delta G is energy change for any given reaction under any conditions that are attainable
if only PV work is performed what is enthalpy change equation
delta H=q constant pressure, closed system at rest (because these conditions the enthalpy change is just measure of nonPV work and heat)
delta S universe equals what
delta S surrounding + delta S system
at constant temp what is equation for entropy and what type of process an you use this for
delta S= qrev/T cannot be used to find the delta S for an irreversible process between the same two states, heat q is different for an irreversible process because heat pathway dependent but entropy change will be same for any process between same two states reversible or not, delta S for irreversible process imagine a reversible process between same wo states and find heat transfer for that reversible process, since a state function the change in entropy for any process the same as change in entropy for reversible process between same two states, an since universe isolated system entropy change of universe also must be zero for any reversible reactions (in real world reversible reactions dont happen)
what is equation for delta G not under standard state
deltaG = delta Gnot +RTln(Q)
what is reaction for delta G not at equilibrium (and what parts of it vary with temp) and how does it vary against 3 cases of K
deltaGnot = -RTln(K) both K and delta G not vary with temp if K=1 delta G not=0 if K>1 then delta Gnot <0 -this does not mean that reaction always spontaneous if K greater than one, does say if reaction has K greater than one the reaction is spontaneous at the temp used to get that K and standard state if K<1 then delta Gnot>0 *all important
how to calculate delta G reaction
deltaGnot products-deltaG not reactants gives delta G not reaction (because gibbs free energy includes only state function)
what is formula for change in enthalpy
deltaH=deltaU +PdeltaV under constant pressure
delta S system +delta S surroundings=
deltaS universe (which is greater than or equal to zero)
what is change in entropy of a reaction
deltaSnot reaction=delta Snot products - delta Snot reactants (same entire thing for delta H in every variable)
if enthalpy and entropy of reaction have same sign is it spontaneous
dependso n temp (if both positive they are spontaneous at higher temp since heat transfer is required)
reaction rate
describes how quickly the concentration of reactants of products are changing over the course of the reaction, most often presented in units of molarity per second because they represent hte change in concentration of reactants and products over time
when blowing up baloon what does enthalpy equation represent
describes total energy required to blow up the balloon (fill the balloon with molecules and also work done to force atmospheric molecules apart as balloon expands)
what is a calorimeter
device that accurately measures temp change
how does solvent affect rate constant (3 ways)
dielectric of the solvent affects k, the degree of solvation also affects k, whe na reactant is dissolvedi n solvent it becomes solvated spreading out and becoming surrounded by solvent molecules, itnermolecular interactions between solvent and reactant stabilize the reactant, these solvent reactant attractions must be overcome before a reaction can take place, solvent may also stabilize reaction intermediates, also solvent viscocity affects k through cage effect (reactants in liquid get trapped in cage of solvent molecules they move around in cage at high rates making lots of collisions before squeezing between solvent molecules and into a new solvent cage, if another reactant also gets trapped in the cage many of collisions then between the reactants and a reaction will likely occur, if not another reactant in the solvent cage then teh molecule cannot react until it escapes the cage)
what is the defining feature of work vs heat
direcitonal collisiosn (heat is random collisions), cpacity to do work arises from the constrain of molecules like with piston (unconstained system like ideal gas of infinite volume can do no work)
how does rate constant relate to rate of reaction or to temp
directly proportional to rate of reaction! THUS rate of reaction increases with temp because higher temp more collisions with sufficient relative kinetic energy in givfen amount of time

endothermic
energy is absorbed, reaction has positive enthalpy
exothermic

heat (q)
energy that transfers from one object to another because of a temperature difference between the objects, spontaneous transfer of energy from warmer to cooler body
what is work on molecular chemical level
energy transferred by ordered molecular collisions, net force in a direction (instead of molecules moving against eachother randomly) (compare to heat energy transfer of random collisions between high energy and low energy particles)
when is work positive or negative
energy transferred out of the system during expansion (delta E negative) energy transferred into the system during contraction (delta E positive) (BUT keep in mind they coulddefine work done by system as positive thus delta E=q-w, because technically change in heat and change in vol/work have opposite sign conventions--if given work done on system is positive use q+w, if given work done on system is negative use q-w)
alternative deinitions of reversibility
entropy undefined on scale of like two molecules reacting with eachother thus second law doesnt apply thus reactions all reversible, micromolecular systems, small numbers of molecules may have required energy at a certain time to reverse the reaction (because reactions reversible when product molecules have enough energy and orientation to go back to reagents) heating a reaction in flask increases energy in system so more collisions to shirf it to proceed, thus shifts the equilibrium constant
delta G=0 means
equilibrium
how do we denote equilibrium constant vs rate constant
equilibrium constant K rate constant k
when does Le Chatliers not apply
exceptions: solvation reaction, increased pressure due to added nonreactive gas (doesnt change partial pressures of other gasses so no change in eq)
catabolic reactions are usually endo or exo
exothermic
how do you determine order of reactants and value of rate constant for rate law
experimentation! assume no reverse reaction occurs to your given reaction, look at experimental data with concentrations and rates, see that between two changes of concentration for each reactant, look for the one that changes direclty proportional to rate changes, then look at another difference for where only the second reactant changes adn by how much compared to rate change (ie if 2x concentration but rate quadrupels then it gets exxponent of two because rate proportional to the sequare)--same thing for last reactant-- every time you do this you need to make sure other two reactants have no change, isolating change of interest and change of rate, ie if change is x4 and no rate change then the reaction rate is INDEPENDENT! of reactant so it gets 0 in rate law exponent can set it up as X^? = 4 (or whatever number times by which rate changes) same thing for Y, next reactant
if a property doubles when the systems are combined what is that property

heat (q) and work (w)
only two ways to change energy of a system are
heat and work (change in internal energy of a system at rest)
why do proteins denature at high temp
heat disrupts hydrophobic interactions and hydrogen bonds between amino acid residues that are responsible for secondary tertiary and quaternary structures
what is another word for internal energy
heat energy or thermal energy or just heat (heat energy and thermal energy are really the vibrational, rotational and translational parts of internal energy, just called thermal energy because they affect temp, heat is actually the transfer of energy this is just a dumb naming convention that mixes them)
how does temp relate to heat flow
heat flow of reaction and therefore change in enthalpy can be quantized by monitering temp change of a system coupled to the reaction
what arethe two types of catalysts and difference between them
heterogeneous or homogenous (heterogeneous is in different phase than the reactants and products like gas particles react on a solid, particles adsorb (stick to) surface of the solid with intermolecular forces) (homogenous is in the same phase as the reactants and products usually as gas or liquid, this can often be aqueous acid or base solutions)
what conditions favor kinetic vs themodynamic product
high temp drive reaction to thermodynamic, low temp favors kinetic product
what does higher emissivity mean about radiation energy

how changes in the reactant concentrations influence the reaction rate, order of each reactant indicates particular influence of that reactant, while order of overall reaction give more general info about realtion of reactant concentrations and rate
what does third law of thermodynamics say
hypothetical absolute zero since absolute zero, zero energy, can never be achieved, energy is eternal!
if you know three macroscopic properties of a one component system in equilibrium can you find other properties
if at least one of them is extensive then you can find all of the other properties
how can you tell if reactin is elementary from reaction order exponents and what do you do otherwise
if reaction is elementary alpha=a and beta=b ie reaction order for each reactant equal to each stoichiometric coefficient (otherwise exponents of rate law must be determined experimentally)
the entropy of a system can only decrease if what happens to surroundings
if they simultaneously increase by a greater or equal magnitude
how do we evaluate motion of molecules in a sample
impossible to know each particle, but can get average speed by manifestation of properties like pressure temp volume, motion of one individual molecuels is random and unpredictable but the sum can be useful
transition state
in a graph of reaction progress vs. energy this is the peak of the graph when activation energy has been reached; where old bonds are breaking and new bonds are forming, peak of Ea hill

dividng one exxtensive property by another gives what property
intensive
if two identical systems are combined and a property is the same for both the single and the combined system what is that property
intensive
is temp intensive or extensive property and why
intensive, because you dibide two extensive properties energy and number of moles
what does rate of a heterogenously catalyzed reaction depend on
intermolecular forces stick catalyst to the solid, thus depends on strength of attraction between the reactant and the catalyst, when intermolecular attractions too weak the catalyst has little effect on reaction rate, but if too strong then too much energy required to remove the reactant and the catalyst does not facilitate the reaction
what does carbonic anhydrase do as catalyst
it is enzyme essential in physiology catalyses following reaction in forward and reverse Co2+H20 = HCO3- + H+
is entropy a state function? is it intensive or extensive?
it is state function and extensive
in a closed system at rest with no electric or magnetic fields what is only type of energy change
itnernal energy
what energy does glass of water on a table have
itnernal energy and gravitational energy
what does thermal conductivity of an object depend on
its composition and to a less exxtent its temp
how does kinetic energy change with temp and how does this influence actually getting to Ea
kinetic energy increases with temp increase, thus more collisions with enough energy to overcome activation energy (proportion of collisions with energy greater than Ea will icnrease as temp increases)
how does kinetics/thermodynamic play into enolate production
kinetic/thermodynamic control can be used to produce the desired enolate from an asymmetric ketone
what is a polarized neuron
leaky because its membrane is slightly permeable to K, Na/K pumps can restore equilibrium concentrations over time
when you graph reaction order with concentration what happens
linear, slopes equal to the rate constant for given rate law, zero order y is just concentration of a reactant, first order the y is ln of that concenetration
how do number of collisions compare for gas vs liquid
liquid molecules have tons more per second because liquid moelcules in much closer proxximity to eachother, however most of the collisions in a liquid are with its solvent rather than with reactant and thus do not lead to a reaction
when catalyst concentration is large compared to reactants and products hwo does rate change with catalyst concentration
little or not at all rate change
Law of Mass Action
mathematical relationship between a chemical equation and the associated equilibrium constant, K is unitless because all concentrations are approximations
what is catalyst effect of Ez or steric factor p and what is effect
may do both or either (lower Ea thus more collisions have sufficient kinetic energy to result in a reaction which leads to more reactions and increase overall rate OR increase p which increases number of favorable collisions)
activation energy
minimum energy colliding particles must have in order to react. on a graph means that in both directions forward and reverse you must go up first regardless if moving dow or up energy gradient
how does body maintain temp homeostasis on cellular level
mitochondria can insert channels in their inner membrane that disipate the proton gradient, energy that could have been used to drive chemiosmotic coupling instead lost as heat
how does solid vibration change with temp increase
molecules in a solid vibrate faster
what is thermal energy
motion of molecules can be either translational rotational vibrational, overall sum to molecular motion called thermal energy
how do q and k relate over course of reaction
moving towards equilibrium from only reactants Q<K at equilibrium Q=K all products moving back to equilibrium Q>K
The universal entropy change for any reversible reaction must be what and why
must be zero in both directions since entropy of an isolated system cannot decrease
entropy (S)
natures tendency to create the most probable arrangement that can occur; natures tendency toward disorder (ie not going to be ordered all red beads in one and all blue beads in another randomly, its a statistical thing that unless you put in work you dont get this kind of order) can think of it like work, tendency to spread energy evenly between systems, tends to decrease energy of a system when its energy is high relative to its surroundings and to increase the energy the low compared to nearby surroundings (warm object loses energy to surroundings in a cold room, not net gained or loss in the universe just spread out, thus it is ENTROPY not energy that drives reactions in a given direction, according to second law entropy of universe is driving force of if reaction happens or not, must always increase entropy of the universe to proceed even if it itself is unfavorable to the system
if a system loses energy what is delta E
negative
is work done by a system usually positive or negative
negative because energy is lost to the environment, but you could define it as positive then w=PdeltaV is fair too!
what does second law of thermodynamics say
net entropy or disorder of the universe is always increasing, cant go back to original level or order ALSO says cant break even because temp and pressure flow downhill from greater to less, appleis to fluid and heat problems assigns a zero entropy value to any pure element or compound in its solid form at absolute zero and in internal equilibrium, at absolute zero the atoms have little motion, absolute zero temp is unattainable so the third law can be realized only theoretically
if reaction has positive enthalpy negative entropy is it spontaneous
never

no
what are enthalpy values for a compound
no absolute values, all about the change, so scientists assign values to compounds based on standard states
can you use solids liquids gases in law of mass action
no dont use solids or pure liquids like water because their concentrations do not change over the course of the reacitons, the amounts may change but their concentraitons do not because products/reactants
is temperature heat
no heat is a type of energy transfer
zero point entropy is this a relative scale
no it is an absolute scale based on scale of relative common chemical reactions
how do you distinguish if reaction is elementary by chemical equation
no way to know!! has to state explicitly that it is elementary

no!
does internal energy include bond enthalpy
no!
if volume remains constant, is PV work done
no!
do thermodynamics and kinetics have effect on each other
no! activation energy is function of kinetics enthalpy change or change in energy between products reactants is thermodynamics
bond breaking/bond forming requires what energy and for what bonds does this alter
no! always bond breaking requires energy and bond formation always releases energy true of ALL bonds also true for intermolecular and intramolecular bonds
does Ea affeect change in energy between products and reactants and why
no! because enthalpy is a state function and products/reactants determine relative enthalpy differents so doesnt matter what they overcame for final energy change
does catalyst affect kinetics and thermodynamics of the reaction
no! jjust kinetics
because line decreases on rate order graph does the rate constant decrease over time
no! rate constant is the constant slope
does path matter to product in state functions
no! state functions are pathway INDEPENDENT, just describe the state of a system (as opposed to properties that depend on the pathway used to achieve that state, path functions like work and heat, not state functions)
does standard conditions specify temp
no! you can have standard conditions at any temp (but usually assumed at 298K)
is endothermic/exothermic same as spontaneous/nonspont
no!!! dont confuse these either endo/exxo can be spontaneous or non spontaneous depending on other factors
is enthalpy conserved
no, enthalpy of universe is NOT constant
does order in which objects place matter for conduction
no, for instance cold blanket under warm blanket the same as other way around
can rate equation be used for any instant t of the equation
no, it is average over time period T
when two identical systems are combined does temp change
no, it is intensive, thermal energy doubles but so does total moles so energy per moles same
does a catalyst change equilibrium ratio of products and reactants/ how does it change equilibrium
no, just gets reaction to equilibriujm more quickly
does catalyst change overall change in energy between products and reactants
no, just overall rate not overall energy change of delta H G or S
can you apply thermodynamic functions to individual molecules
no, only for large numbers of molecules, if asked about indiivudal collisions have to use physics
do you need to know kinetics of reactions not in gases
no, only testing kinetics of reactions occurring in gases or ideally dilute solutions with cosntant temp
do atoms in a monatomic gas have vibrational energy and why
no, since they have no covalent bonds around which to vibrate
does pressure have to be constant for PV work to take place in gas against a force
no, this takes place whether or not the pressure is constant
what is turnover number
number of reactions occuring at a single active site on one enzyme per second, determines speed of action of enzyme
second and third order reactions what is reactio nrate proportional to
one case wehre rate is proportional to a single reactants concentration raised to the second or third power, other varietgy where reaction rate prportional to teh product of the concentrations of multiple reactants
what is object with emissivity of 1
only theoretically possible, absorb 100% of incident radiation so appear black
what are the three categories of systems and what defines them
open closed isolated (defined by mass and energy exchange with the surroundings)
adding two elementary steps of reaction yields what
original equation, must add to give the overall reaction
state
physical condition of a system as described by a specific set of thermodynamic properties, macroscopic state of any one component fluid system in equilibrium can be described completely by just three properties, at least one of which must be extensive, all other properties can be derived from these three (ie if pressure temp and volume are known for a one component gas in equilibrium all other properties are known like number moles delta G internal energy etc becausem sut each have specific value) can all be known without knowing how we got to a certain state
what is difference between physics work and chemistry work
physics work defined as energy transfer due to a force, work done whenever force applied over a distance which changes an objects kinetic and or potential energy, chemical system though at rest performs PV work by changing its size or shape using energy from the system, molecules comprising the system must do work to change the volume of the container, chemical system will not perform PV work spontaneously, rather outside stress initiates it like outside heat on baloon causing its gas to expand to do work on its surroundings or something
if a reaction increases the number of gaseous molecules that reaction has what entropy positive or negative
positive! for system, but not necessarily for universe, this is because gas particles more free so they can spread their energy more freely, greater the temp the greater its entropy
what is electronic energy
potential electircal energy created by the attractions between electrons and their nuclei, in a chemical reaction, changing electronic energy accounts for the greatest change in internal energy, if no chemical reaction occurs, electronic energy remains nearly constant
the value of rate constant is affected by what three things
pressure (especially for gases), presence of catalysts (lower Ea and increase rate constant) and temp (constant increases with increase temp, becuase temp is proxy for kinetic energy with more collisions to overcome0
are pressure and volume intensive or extensive
pressure intensive volume extensive
what is autocatalysis and an example of it
product of the reaction acts as catalyst for the reaction, ie acid catalyzed hydrolysis of an ester where carboxylic acid product acts as a catalyst of the reaction
equilibrium constant (K)
products to coefficients/reactants to coefficients, allows you to determine relative amount of eqch species K also - products^coefficients/reactants^coefficients
intensive property
properties independent of the size of the system
extensive property
properties that are proportional to the size of the system, DEPEND ON QUANTITY OF SUBSTANCE PRESENT
state functions
properties that describe the current state of a system, thermodynamic state functions are macroscopic properties of a system, ie can be described on an observable scale, ie for any state function the property itself sufficiently describes the nature of the system, change in a state property from oen state to another is the same regardless of process used to change it
what are extensive properties
proportional to the size of the system
what is enthalpy value of pure elements and why
pure elements in natural state at 25C are assigned 0kJ/mol as enthalpy because they are in their most stable forms
what is distinct feature of radiation compared to conduction/convection
radiation does not require a medium, electromagnetic waves can go through vacuums, like sun radiating thermal energy to Earth through space
in an overall zero order reaction what is reaction rate dependent on and explain case when this would happen
rate is independent of concentration of any reactant, occurs in enzyme catalyzed reactiosn when the concentration of substrate far outweights that of enzyme, all enzyme catalystic sites get saturated with substrate and the addition of more substrate has no effect on reacftion rate
the order with respect to any reactant is what in the rate law
reactants exponent
what to use to figure out the direction in which reaction will proceed
reaction quotient Q, since reactions go to equilibrium Q always becomes closer to K so you can always compare them if K=Q reaction at equilibrium Q>K reaction shifts left (because increasing reactants reverse reaction rate greater than forward rate, too many products compared to product reactant ratio at equilibrium) Q<K shifts right (forward reaction rate greater because too few products compared to ratio at equilibrium)
what is an elementary reaction and what is unique about it
reaction that occurs in a single step, stoichiometric coefficients of an elementary equation give the molecularity of the reactino which is the number of molecules that need to collide at one time for a reaction to occur, for example if the product coefficient is 1 and the reaction coefficient is 1 the rate at which used up is same at which produced
K = Q
relationship between Q and K at equilibrium
K > Q
relationship between Q and K favors products
K < Q
relationship between Q and K favors reactants
temperature
represents the amount of molecular movement in a substance, any increase in thermal energy increases temp--can be thought of as thermal energy per mole of molecules! think of it as how fast the molecules are moving or vibrating, when things get hot its because molecules move faster
pressure is proportional to what energy and exxplain molecular basis behind this pressure from molecules
rnadom kinetic eenrgy of a gorup of molecules per volume occupied, because pressure from molecules pushing against walls, strike walls with force that causes container to stretch until equilibrium reached by opposing force (a balancing exxternal pressure or an elastic restoring force from the container material as it resists being stretched) stretching causes container to adopt a fixxed volume

see which side has more moles of gas, if pressure increases, the eq shifts away from that side, if pressure decreases the eq shifts toward that side
how does solvation reaction change with temp
solubility of salt increases with increasing temp even when reaction exothermic due to significant entropy increase that occurs with dissolution, entropy becomes more significant factor with higher temp (this goes against Le Chatliers though as do all solvation reactions)
the rate constant in a liquid is a function of what two things and why do these things matter
solvent and the temperature (solvents can electrically insulate reactants reducing the electrostatic forces between them)

what is thermodynamics
the study of energy transfer and change, can be used to predict how much eneergy a given process requires GOING WHERE, about the energy differential between reactant and product, the study of energy and its relationship to macroscopic properties, based on probabilities so only valid for systems composed of a large number of molecules (not for single collision phenomenon), whether or not a reaction will occur spontaneously but does NOT address speed, governed by delta G, greater magnitude delta G the more energyetically favorable THINK BOTTOM OF CATALYST DIAGRAM, diff between products reactants energies (as opposed to kinetics all! about! Ea!)
kinetics
the study of reaction rates, or how rapidly reaction happens and the factors which increase or decrease this speed, often provides insight into mechanism of the reaction at molecular level, does not address whether or not it will happen spontaneously, governed by activation energy, lower Ea teh more quickly it will occur

how does heat transfer occur on a molecular level
through random collisions between molecules of two systems, in each collision energy is transferred from the higher energy molecule to the lower one, which since temp only based on the average kinetic energy of molecules in a system there is no guarantee that the higher energy molecule in a collision will be from the warmer system, but it is much more likely so the majjority of energy transfers from higher temp to lwoer temp, over time heated period becomes cooler, eventually the two bodies reach an equilibrium in which they have the same temp and kinetic energyr

will there always be some amount of each species present at equilibrium
yes for a homogenous reaction (all products reactants in same phase)
do molecules have to collid for chemical reaction to happen and how does this link rate of given reaction and frequency of collisions
yes must collide for reaction but rate of given reaction usually lower than frequency of collisions because there are two requirements for given collision to initiate reaction
do higher temps increase both direction rates of reaction
yes!
does enthalpy change with temp?
yes! increases with temp!!
does the rate of reaction increase with temp? does it change equilibrium? why
yes! kinetics and themodynamics separate so increasing rate does not tell you about equilibrium it just means equilibrium achieved more quickly
when two bodies at equilibrium do collisions still occurt
yes, and have have same temp and kinetic energy but there is no net transfer of energy between the two bodies because the higher energy molecule is jsut as likely to originate form the first system as from the second
is enthalpy equal to heat
yes, assuming constant pressure reaction, thus exothermic is heat flow to surroundings while endothermic is heat flow to teh system

R=8.314 j *atm/molK because it includes an energy unit unlike the other version!
do C and K have signs
C yes, K does not because Celcius is relative but Kelvin is actual thermal energy, thus it is incorrect to say 12.5 C is half as hot as 25 C, but it is true that 12.5 K is half as hot as 25K because has half as much thermal energy
