question

Properties Based on Bonding

answer
Not all ionic compounds are soluble, but those containing ammonium ions, nitrate ions, and alkali metal ions are.[image]
question

Oxyacid Strength

[image]

answer
The increased number of oxygen atoms pulls negative charge away from the O-H bond, weakening the attraction of the proton for the electron pair and thus strengthening the acid. 
question

Binary Acid Strength

[image]

answer

The greater the size of the negative ion, the weaker its attraction for the proton, and so the stronger the acid, and the weaker the conjugate base. HI is the strongest binary acid.


Strong Acids:  HCl, H2SO4, HNO3


question

Kinetic Molecular Theory-

particles of matter constantly in motion

increase temperature--increase speed

answer

question

KMT

[image]

answer
IF the temperature is not changed, no matter what else is listed in the problem, the average kinetic energy of a gas does not change. That is the definition of temperature!
All gases begin to act non-ideally (aka real) when they are at low temperatures and/or high pressures because these conditions increase particle interactions

 

Under the same conditions, the stronger the intermolecular attractions between gas particles, the LESS ideal the behavior of the gas

question

Dissolving/Dissociation:  Solute and Solvent

[image]

answer
When drawing solute ions:
Pay attention to size (Na+ is smaller than Cl-)
Draw charges on ion, but not on water
Draw at least 3 water molecules around each

 

 The negative dipole (oxygen side) points toward cation and the positive dipoles (H side) points towards the anion
question

Question:

Rank the solutions in order of increasing molarity.

[image]

answer

Answer:

C,D, and E (tied)-lowest concentration

(4 solute particles/50mL and 2 solute particles/25mL)

A and F (tied)

B-most concentrated (12 solute particles/50mL)

question

London Dispersion Forces

weakest IMF

affects boiling point and melting point

answer
[image]
question

Question:

Which of the following would have the highest boiling point?

A:  He

B:  Ne

C:  Xe

D:  Kr

answer

Answer:

Xenon

All are nonpolar gases.  The only IMF are LDF.  The strength of LDF are determined by the polarizability of the atoms.  The atom with the greated number of electrons will be the most polarizable, having the strongest IMF and the highest bp.

question

Deviations from Ideal Gas Behavior

Think about KMT

  1. completely elastic collisions
  2. no IMF

At low temperatures and high pressure, those statements are not true

answer

At which temperature and pressure will nitrogen gas behave least like an ideal gas?

A.  100K, 100atm

B.  100K, 1atm

C.  700K, 0.1atm

D.  700K, 1atm

 

Least ideal at low temperature, high pressure:  A

question

Hydrogen Bonding

Stongest IMF

[image]

answer
Hydrogen bonding is seen in the following molecules: water, DNA, ammonia, HF, and alcohols. H-bonding is an attraction or force between molecules

 

Hydrogen bonds are like a sandwich with N, O, and/or F as the bread. H will be in a intramolecular (same molecule) bond with one N, O, and/or F and have an intermolecular attraction (different molecule) with the other.

question

Coulomb's Law and Solubility

Ionic compounds can dissolve in polar liquids like water because the ions are attracted to either the positive or negative part of the molecule.
There is a sort of tug-of-war involved with species dissolved in water. The water pulls individual ions away from the solid. The solid is pulling individual ions back out of the water. There exists an equilibrium based on how strongly the water attracts the ions, versus how strong the ionic solid attracts the ions.

 

We can predict the degree of solubility in water for different ionic compounds using Coulomb's law. The smaller the ions, the closer together they are, and the harder it is for the water molecules to pull the ions away from each other. The greater the charge of the ions, the harder it is for the water to pull them away as well.

 

answer
QUESTION:

question

Polar molecules-have permanent dipole moments

Nonpolar molecules-have no NET dipole moment

[image]

 

answer

Which of the following would have the highest vapor pressure at 25oC?

A. H2O

B. Hg

C. CCl4

D. C10H22

 

C:  CCl4 has the highest vapor pressure because it has the weakest IMF.  The smallest nonpolar molecule will generally have the weakest IMF.  (Yes, the C-Cl bond is polar, but there is no NET dipole moment.)

question

Bonding and Electronegativity

[image]

 

answer

Differences in electronegativities lead to different types of bonding*:

   0.0 – 0.4: Bond is generally considered nonpolar

   0.5 – 1.7: Bond is generally considered polar

 

     > 1.7: Bond is generally considered ionic

question

Question:

Which bond would be the most polar?

A. C-O

B. H-O

C. H-F

D. F-O

answer

Answer:

H-F has the greatest electronegativity difference between the two atoms.  Atoms that are far apart on the periodic table will have the greatest difference in electronegativity.  Remember, C-H bond is essentially nonpolar.  There is very little electronegativity difference in C and H atoms.

question

Ionic compounds

[image]

 

answer

Ionic compounds are soluble in water, have high mp and bp, and are brittle.  As the crystal is struck, the ions become displaced.  The displaced ions will repel like charges and fracture.

question

Lewis Diagrams/VSEPR

Question:

Which of the following molecules has a tetrahedral shape?

A. NH3

B. H2O

C. BH3

D. CH4

answer

Answer:

CH4.  Tetrahedral molecules must have 4 bonds and no lone pairs of electrons on the central atom.

question

Ionic or Covalent?

What are the bonding tests?

answer
[image]
question

Question:

Why is the melting point of MgO (3125K) higher than the melting point of NaCl (1074K)?

answer

The +2 and -2 ions attract each other more strongly than +1 attracts -1.


 

 

The ions Mg+2 and O-2 are smaller than Na+1 and Cl-1, therefore the ions can get closer together, increasing their electrostatic attractions.


Greater electrostatic attractions make it harder to melt.

question

Molecular Compound Interactions

[image]

Polar Covalent compounds align according to dipole-dipole interactions.

Non-Polar Covalent compounds align according to LDF’s as a solid. 

 

 

 

answer

Which of the following are broken when water boils?

A.  Covalent bonds

B.  Hydrogen bonds

C.  Dipole-dipole interactions

D.  London Dispersion Forces


(All of the IMF forces are broken--that's what boiling does.  It's still the same molecule.)
