CHEMISTRY 107: FUNDAMENTALS OF CHEMISTRY
REVIEW TOPICS FOR HOUR EXAM 3 (Oct. 21, 2008)
n.b. 1) These topics are NOT exhaustive. Assigned and unassigned problems and lecture material are fair
game, as is all
material in assigned text chapters.
2) Be able to give an example of each type of object, phenomenon, classification, etc. mentioned below.
3) * Indicates likely numerical calculation
Chapter 8:
Given some particular chemical reaction, how many moles of one reactant are needed to react with a
given number of moles of another reactant? To form a specified number of moles of some product?
Given some particular chemical reaction, what mass of one reactant is needed to react with a given
mass of another reactant? To form a specified mass of some product?
tna reaction where amounts of reactants and actual resulting products are given in moles, what are the
limiting reactant, the theoretical yield, the actual yield and the percent yield?
In a reaction where amounts of reactants and actual resulting products are given as masses, what are
the limiting reactant, the theoretical yield, the actual yield and the percent yield?
Limiting Reactant ~ The reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction
heoretical Yield — The amount of product that can be made in a chemical reaction based on the amount
of limiting reactant.
Actual Yield—The amount of product actually produced by a chemical reaction
Percent Yield - Actual Yield/Theoretical Yield x 100%
What is the enthalpy change associated with a process? How are exothermic and endothermic
processes defined in terms of their associated enthalpy changes?
DeltaHRxn ~ depends on the directian in which thermal energy flows when the reaction occurs. If
thermal energy flows out of the reaction (exothermic) and into the surroundings, the Hon is negative, If
thermal energy flows into the reaction (endothermic) and out of the surroundings then Hrxn is positive.
Given a reaction enthalpy H for some chemical reaction, what heat change will occur ifa given number
of moles or grams of some compound react?
Chapter 9:
What is the speed of fight in vacuo and what is the relation between the speed of light, the wavelength
of a particular color or light and the frequency of that color?
right is a form of electromagnetic radiation, a type of energy that travels through space at a constant
speed of 3.0x108 m/s (186,000 m/s).
Wavelength - the distance between adjacent wave crests,
Frequency - The number of cycles or crests that pass through a stationary point in one second.
Wavelength are inversely related the shorter the wavelength the higher the frequency. Also the shorter
the wavelength the greater the energy of each photon.
What terms are applied to EM radiation in various wavelength and/or frequency ranges?
€The electromagnetic spectrum includes all wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation. {t ranges from
longest to shortest radio waves, microwaves, infrared radiation, ultraviolet radiation, x rays, gamma
rays. :
What colors do we use to describe light with various wavelengths between 400-700 nm? e.g. 632
nm=red.
3K ROY G BV - Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Violet
What is an atomic emission spectrum and how is it obtained?
Emission Spectrum - A spectrum associated with the emission of electromagnetic radiation by elements
Qrcompounds
What did the discrete lines in atomic emission Spectra suggest to Bohr about the nature of the atom?
Be able to write correct Lewis structures for binary ionic compounds.
How can single, double and triple covalent bonds arise from pair of atoms attempting to acquire an
octet of electrons by sharing?
Be able to correctly write Lewis structures for simple covalent compounds, including polyatomic ions,
What are some exceptions to the octet rule?
# Odd numbers of electrons, boron which tends to form compounds with only 6 electrons, SE6 and Pci5
have more than 8 electrons ar \.
What is the meaning of resonance in chemicat bonding? Be able to write resonance structures for
species where resonance occurs.
Resonance Structures - Two or more Lewis structures that are necessary to describe the banding in a
molecule orion.
Explain the VSEPR theory of molecular shape and use the theory to predict the shape of specific
molecules. Know the terms used to describe the various shapes of molecules, e.g. ” trigonal planar’.
VSE PR
feValence shell electron air repulsion theory can be used to predict the shapes of molecules.
Linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal pyramidal, and bent)
What is the electronegativity of an element, how does the quantity vary within the periodic table and
how do the relative electronegativities of two atoms determine the type of bond they form?
Electronegativity - The ability of an element to attract electrons within a covalent bond. From left to
right is increasing in electronegativity.
What are polar covalent bonds and when do such bonds form between two atoms? How can a molecule
be non-polar when its individual bonds are polar?
Polar Covalent Bonds - A bi s of different electronegativities. Polar covalent
bonds have a dipole moment.
