Topic 1: Matter, Its Properties and Changes Outline
1. Matter is classified as a pure substance or a mixture of substances.

A pure substance (element or compound) has a constant composition
and constant properties throughout a given sample, and from sample
to sample.
You can use particle models/diagrams to differentiate among elements,
compounds, and mixtures.
2. The proportions of components in a mixture can be varied. Each

component in a mixture retains its original properties. Differences in
properties such as density, particle size, molecular polarity, boiling
point and freezing point, and solubility permit physical separation of
the components of the mixture.
Methods of separating mixtures include evaporation, filtration, distillation,
and chromatography.
Mixtures can be homogeneous or heterogeneous. Solutions are always
homogeneous. Heterogeneous mixtures are things like soil, fruit salad,
where the composition is NOT uniform throughout the mixture.
3. The structure and arrangement of particles and their interactions

determine the physical state of a substance at a given temperature and
pressure.
Know the states (phases) of the elements at STP; Br and Hg are the only
2 liquids, the noble gases as well as N, O, F, H, and Cl are gases, the rest
are solids
Know the 7 elements that are diatomic in their natural states; “7-Up” or
“HOFBrINCl”.
Draw particle models of solids, liquids, and gases.
4. A physical change results in the rearrangement of existing particles

in a substance; no new types of particles result from this type of
change. A chemical change results in the formation of different
particles with changed properties.
Distinguish between chemical and physical changes based on whether
new substances form or not.
3
5. Properties can be physical or chemical. Physical properties describe
those characteristics that can be observed with the senses or
measured. Chemical properties describe how the substance interacts
with other substances.
Distinguish between chemical and physical properties.
One of the more useful properties is density. The density equation is on
Table T; D=m/V.
Some common properties of the elements are found on Table S, such as
melting and boiling points.

Topic 2: Atomic Concepts Outline
1. The modern model of the atom has evolved over a long period of time through the
work of many scientists.
Dalton’s Model:
Elements are made of atoms
Atoms of an element are the same.
Compounds are formed from combinations of atoms.
Rutherford Experiment
Bombarded gold foil with alpha particles. Showed atoms
were mostly empty space with small, dense positively
charged nucleus.
Bohr Model
Small, dense, positively charged nucleus surrounded by electrons in circular orbits.
Wave-Mechanical Model (Modern Atomic Theory)
Small, dense, nucleus positively charged nucleus
surrounded by electrons moving in “electron cloud”.
“Orbitals” are areas where an electron with a certain amount of energy is most likely
to be found.
2. Each atom is made of a positively charged nucleus with one or more orbiting,
negatively charged electrons.
3. Protons and neutrons are found in the nucleus.

The number of protons in an atom’s nucleus gives the nucleus a positive charge. Li has
a “nuclear charge” of +3, since it has 3 protons.
4. Protons have a positive charge, neutrons no charge, and electrons a negative

charge.
5. The number of protons in an atom equals the number of electrons.

The positive charges of the protons are cancelled by the negative charges of the electrons,
so overall an atom has a neutral charge.
6. The mass of a proton is 1 amu. The mass of a neutron is 1 amu. The mass of an
electron is almost 0 amu.
The mass of an atom is contained in its nucleus.
The atomic mass of an atom is equal to the total number of protons and neutrons.
7. Each electron in an atom has its own distinct amount of energy.

When all electrons are at their lowest possible energy, it is called the “ground state.”
Electrons fill in energy levels and orbitals starting with the one that requires the least energy
and progressively move to those levels and orbitals that require increasing amounts of
energy.
8
8. When the electron gains a specific amount of energy, it moves to a higher orbital
and is in the “excited state”.
You can recognize an excited state electron configuration. If the configuration does
not match that on the Periodic Table for that number of electrons, then it is an
excited state.
9. When an electron returns from a higher energy state to a lower energy state, it
emits a specific amount of energy usually in the form of light. This can be used to
identify an element (bright line spectrum).
The instrument used to see the bright line spectrum is called a spectroscope.
10. The outermost electrons are called valence electrons. These affect the chemical
properties of the element.
Atoms with a filled valence level are stable (noble gases).
Most elements can have up to 8 electrons in their valence level. The exceptions are H and
He, which can have only 2 valence electrons.
Atoms form bonds in order to fill their valence levels.
You can use Lewis structures to show the configuration of the valence electrons.
11. Atoms of the same element all contain the same number of protons.
Changing the number of protons changes the atom into a different element.
The atomic number is the number of protons in an atom of an element.
12. Isotopes are atoms with equal numbers of protons but different numbers of
neutrons.
Isotopes of an element have the same atomic number (protons only), but different atomic
masses (protons + neutrons).
13. The average atomic mass of an element is the weighted average of its naturally
occurring isotopes.
You need to know how to do the calculation of “weighted atomic mass” given isotope
masses and percent abundances.
14. When an atom gains an electron, it becomes a negative ion and its radius
increases.
15. When an atom loses an electron, it becomes a positive ion and its radius
decreases.
16. Electronegativity indicates how strongly an atom of an element attracts

electrons in a chemical bond. These values are based on an arbitrary scale.
Fluorine has the highest electronegativity of all elements (4.00).

Topic 3: Periodic Table Outline
1. The placement of an element on the Periodic Table gives an indication of the

chemical and physical properties of that element.
Elements to the left of the stair step line are metals, and therefore are easily oxidized
(lose electrons) in bonding situations, are good electrical conductors, are shiny,
malleable, ductile, and have low ionization energies and electronegativities.
Elements to the right of the stair step line, but not in Group 18 are nonmetals, and
therefore react to gain electrons (get reduced), are not conductors, are dull appearing,
brittle, have high ionization energies and electronegativities.
Some of the elements along the stair step line have properties of both metals and non-
metals and are known as “metalloids” or “semi-metals”.
Elements in Group 18 are the noble gases and they are chemically inert (unreactive) and
have extremely high ionization energies.
2. Elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number (NOT MASS!)
3. The number of protons in an atom (atomic number) identifies the element.

The number of protons in an atom only changes through nuclear reactions.
4. The atomic mass is the sum of protons and neutrons in the nucleus.
The mass number given on the periodic table is a weighted average of the different isotopes
of that element.
Electrons do not significantly add to the atomic mass.
5. Isotopes of an element are identified by the sum of protons and neutrons.

Isotopes of the same element have the same number of protons and a different number of
neutrons.
Examples of isotopic notation are: 146C, 14 C, carbon-14, C-14
6. Elements can be classified by their properties and their location on the Periodic
Table as metals, non-metals, metalloids, and noble gases.
7. Elements may be differentiated by their physical properties.

Ex: Density, conductivity, malleability, hardness, ductility, solubility
8. Elements may be differentiated by their chemical properties.

Chemical properties describe how an element behaves in a chemical reaction.
9. Elements are arranged into periods and groups.
10. Elements of the same period have the same number of occupied energy levels.
17
11. Elements of the same group have the same valence configuration and similar
chemical properties.
Group 1 elements other than H are alkali metals.
Group 2 elements are alkali earth metals.
Group 17 elements are halogens.
Alkali metals, alkali earth metals, and halogens all are highly reactive and do not exist as
free elements in nature (they are all found in compounds).
Group 18 elements are noble or inert gases. These elements have filled valence levels and
are do not normally react with other substances.
12. The succession of elements within a group demonstrates characteristic trends in

properties. As you progress dow n a group:
atomic radius increases.
electronegativity decreases.
first ionization energy decreases.
metallic character increases.
13. The succession of elements within a period demonstrates characteristic trends in

properties. As you progress across a group from left to right:
atomic radius decreases.
electronegativity increases.
first ionization energy increases.
metallic character decreases.
14. Some elements may exist in two or more forms in the same phase. These forms
differ in their molecular or crystal structure, hence their different properties. These
different forms are called “allotropes,”
Ex: Solid carbon exists in three different forms: graphite, diamond (a network solid) and
coal.
Ex: the element oxygen can exist in two different forms: O2 gas and ozone (O3 gas)

Base your answers to questions 23 through 26 on the information below, which describes the proposed discovery of
element 118.
In 1999, a nuclear chemist and his team announced they had discovered a new element by crashing krypton
atoms into lead. The new element, number 118, was assigned the name ununoctium and the symbol Uuo. One
possible isotope of ununoctium could have been Uuo-291.
However, the discovery of Uuo was not confirmed because other scientists could not reproduce the
experimental results published by the nuclear chemist and his team. In 2006, another team of scientists claimed that
they produced Uuo. This claim has yet to be confirmed.

Ozone gas, O3, can be used to kill adult insects in storage bins for grain without damaging the
grain. The ozone is produced from oxygen gas, O2, in portable ozone generators located near the
storage bins. The concentrations of ozone used are so low that they do not cause any
environmental damage. This use of ozone is safer and more environmentally friendly than a
method that used bromomethane, CH3Br. However, bromomethane was more effective than ozone
because CH3Br killed immature insects as well as adult insects.

Topic 5: Bonding Outline
1. Chemical compounds are formed when atoms are bonded together.

Breaking a chemical bond is an endothermic process.
Forming a chemical bond is an exothermic process.
Compounds have less potential energy than the individual atoms they are formed from.
2. Two major categories of compounds are ionic and molecular (covalent)

compounds.
Ionic compounds tend to be a metal bonding with a nonmetal; or a metal with a polyatomic
ion
Molecular (covalent) compounds tend to be two or more nonmetals combined.
3. Compounds can be differentiated by their chemical and physical properties.

Ionic substances have high melting and boiling points, form crystals, dissolve in water
(dissociate), and conduct electricity in solution and as liquids.
Covalent or molecular substances have lower melting and boiling points, do not conduct
electricity.
4. Atoms gain a stable electron configuration by bonding with other atoms.

Atoms are stable when they have a full valence level.
Most atoms need 8 electrons to fill their valence level.
H and He only need 2 electrons to fill their valence level.
The noble gases (group 18) have filled valence levels. They do not normally bond with other
atoms.
5. Chemical bonds are formed when valence electrons are:

Transferred from one atom to another – ionic.
Shared between atoms – covalent.
Mobile in a free moving “sea” of electrons – metallic.
6. In multiple (double or triple) covalent bonds more than 1 pair of electrons are
shared between two atoms.
oxygen and it’s family (group 16) form double bonds with each other (O2)
nitrogen and it’s family (group 15) form triple bonds with each other (NH3)
carbon can form double and triple bonds with itself & group 16 and 15 elements (ex: CO2)
33
7. Polarity of a molecule can be determined by its shape and the distribution of the
charge.
Polar molecules have an asymmetrical (uneven) distribution of electrons in them.
As a result, polar molecules have (+) and (-) charged ends.
Water is the most common substance composed of polar molecules; O end is (-), H ends are
(+).
Nonpolar molecules have symmetrical (even) distribution of electrons in them.
Polar substances are dissolved only by another polar substance. Non-polar substances are
dissolved only by other non-polar substances.
8. The electronegativity difference between two bonded atoms can determine the
type of bond and its polarity.
0.0 = non-polar covalent
0.0 -1.7 = polar covalent
1.7+ = ionic
9. Bonding guidelines:
Metals react with nonmetals to form ionic compounds.
Nonmetals bond with nonmetals to form covalent compounds (molecules).
Ionic compounds with polyatomic ions have both ionic and covalent bonds.
10. Intermolecular forces allow different particles to be attracted to each other to

form solids and liquids.
Hydrogen bonds are an example of a strong IMF between polar molecules.
Hydrogen bonds exist between atoms of hydrogen on one molecule and atoms of either
oxygen, fluorine, or nitrogen on a neighboring molecule.
Substances with hydrogen bonds tend to have much higher melting and boiling points than
those without hydrogen bonds. Water is one such substance
Ordinary polar molecules simply attract each other as their oppositely charged ends line up.
Nonpolar molecules use weak VanderWaal’s forces of attraction and as a result tend to have
lower melting points, and higher vapor pressures.
11. Metallic bonding occurs between atoms of metal. The valence electrons are
loosely held by all atoms in a mobile “sea” of valence electrons.
This type of bonding accounts for some of the unique properties of metals, such as their
ability to conduct electricity, luster, and malleability.
12. Physical properties of a substance can be explained in terms of chemical bonds

and intermolecular forces. These include conductivity, malleability, solubility,
ductility, hardness, melting point and boiling point, vapor pressure.

Have you ever seen an insect called a water strider “skating” across the surface of a calm pond? Have you ever
“floated” a sewing needle on the water in a glass? If you have, then you’ve observed one of water’s many
amazing properties. Water’s surface tension keeps the water strider and the sewing needle from sinking into
the water. Simply stated, the surface tension is due to the forces that hold the water molecules together.
Without these intermolecular forces, the water strider and the sewing needle would sink below the surface of
the water. The surface tension of water at various temperatures is given in the data table below.

Topic 6 Overview
Topic 6A: Heat & Temperature

1. Energy can exist in different forms – chemical, electrical, electromagnetic,
thermal, mechanical, nuclear.
Stored energy is referred to as potential energy.
Energy of motion is kinetic energy.
2. The Law of Conservation of Energy states that energy can not be lost or
destroyed, only changed from one form to another.
3. Heat is a transfer of energy (often but not always thermal energy) from a body of
higher temperature to a body of lower temperature.
4. Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a

sample. Temperature is NOT a form of energy and should not be confused with
heat.
5. The concepts of kinetic and potential energy can be used to explain physical
processes such as fusion (melting), solidification (freezing), vaporization (boiling,
evaporation), condensation, sublimation, and deposition.
6. Processes that are exothermic give off heat energy. This typically causes the
surrounding environment to become warmer.
7. Processes that are endothermic absorb energy. This typically causes the
surrounding environment to become colder.
42
Topic 6A: Heat & Temperature Outline
1. Temperature is a “measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a

sample of matter.”
Kinetic energy is energy due to motion. So as temperature increases, the particles move
faster, on average.
Temperature does NOT depend on the mass of the sample.
2. Temperature scales used by chemists are the Celsius and Kelvin scales.
The freezing point of water is a reference point often used in science, and is referred to
as “standard temperature.” Its value is 0oC or 273 K, and is noted on Table A.
The boiling point of water is 100oC or 373 K.
Converting from Co to K: K = Co + 273 (on Table T)
3. Heat is a form of energy and IS NOT the same as temperature.

Heat is dependent on mass. There is more heat in an iceberg that is at 00C than a cup
full of boiling water.
Heat can be transferred from one substance to another when their particles are in
contact (when the objects touch). Heat will move from the object with more particle KE
(higher temp) to the one with less.
The amount of heat needed to cause a temperature change is dependent on the mass of
the sample, its “specific heat” and the amount of temperature change: q = m c ∆T
(Table T) When heat is absorbed to cause a temperature change, it is resulting in a
change in KE of particles.
The amount of heat needed to cause a phase change can be calculated using the q =
mHf (melting), or q = mHv (boiling) (Table T). When heat is added to cause a
phase change, it is causing a change in intermolecular forces between particles.
The values for water are on Table B.
4. Heat of fusion (Hf) is the energy needed to convert one gram of a substance from
solid to liquid.
5. Heat of vaporization (Hv) is the energy needed to convert one gram of a

substance from liquid to gas.
6. Specific heat (C) is the energy required to raise one gram of a substance 1 degree
(Celcius or Kelvin).
The specific heat of liquid water is 1 cal/g*J or 4.2 J/g*K.
43
7. The three phases of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Each has its own properties.
Solids have a constant volume and shape. Particles are held in a rigid, crystalline structure.
Liquids have a constant volume but a changing shape. Particles are mobile but still held
together by strong attraction.
Gases have no set volume or shape. They will completely fill any closed contained. Particles
have largely broken free of the forces holding them together.
The phase a substance is in is dependent on the temperature. Melting points and boiling
points are on Table S (in Kelvin degrees).
8. Phase changes are a type of physical change. If they are changes that involve
heat being absorbed, they are endothermic changes.
Endothermic phase changes are melting, boiling, evaporating and subliming (s l).
Opposite type of phase changes (freezing, condensing, depositing) are exothermic.
9. A heating curve (or cooling curve) traces the changes in temperature of a

substance as it changes from solid to liquid to gas (or gas to liquid to solid).
When the substance undergoes a phase change, there is no change in temperature. The line
“flattens” until the phase change is complete.
When a phase change is occurring, the potential energy of the substance changes while
kinetic energy remains the same.
As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases.
10. The amount of heat involved in some chemical changes is shown on Table I,
called “heat of reaction” or ∆H.
If the value is negative, the reaction is exothermic.
This can be expressed as a potential energy diagram.
If the energy is written into the equation, and is on the reactants side, the reaction is
endothermic.
∆H is the difference between the energy stored in the products (PE) and the potential
energy of the reactants.
11. Breaking bonds is ALWAYS endothermic, and forming bonds is ALWAYS

exothermic.
I + I I2 Bond is forming, I atoms are become stable by bonding, so they release
energy (Exo)
H2 H + H Bond is breaking, requires energy in order to put atoms in unbonded
state (endo)

Topic 6B: Reaction Rate & Equilibrium Outline
1. Collision theory states that a reaction is most likely to occur if reactant particles
collide with the proper energy and orientation.
This is sometimes called an “effective collision.”
2. The rate of a chemical reaction depends on temperature, concentration, nature of

the reactants, surface area and the presence of a catalyst.
3. Energy absorbed or released by a chemical reaction can be represented by a

potential energy diagram.
4. The amount of energy released or absorbed during a chemical reaction is the heat
of reaction.
Heat of reaction equals the PE of the products – PE of reactants.
Positive heat of reaction implies an endothermic reaction.
Negative heat of reaction implies an exothermic reaction.
5. A catalyst provides an alternative pathway for a chemical reaction. The catalyst

lowers reaction the activation energy required to start up the reaction.
Adding a catalyst increases the rate of the forward and reverse reactions equally, so there is no shift
in equilibrium.
Know how the use of a catalyst affects the PE diagram.
6. Entropy is a measure of the randomness or disorder in a system. A system with

greater disorder has greater entropy.
7. Systems in nature tend to undergo changes towards lower energy (tend to be

exothermic) and higher entropy.
8. At equilibrium the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse
reaction.
This state can only be achieved IF the system (container) is closed and the conditions of Temp
and Pressure are held steady.
9. The measurable quantities of reactants and products remain constant at

equilibrium.
This does NOT mean the amounts of products and reactants is the same as each other, but
rather that the amounts are no longer changing.
10. Types of equilibrium include chemical, phase and solution.

Solutions that are saturated represent an equilibrium between the processes of dissolving and
precipitating.
An example of a phase equilibrium would be the simultaneous melting and freezing of water if
the system is held at 0oC.
11. LeChatelier’s principle can be used to predict the effect of stress on a system in
equilibrium.
Stresses include a change in pressure, volume, concentration, and temperature.
You should be able to predict if a “shift left” or a “shift right” occurs due to a particular stress.

Topic 7: Water & Solutions
1. Water has some unusual properties.

The bonds between H and O inside a water molecule are “polar covalent.”
Due to its structure, it is a polar molecule. This means it has an uneven distribution of
electrons in it. The O end is (-) and the H ends are (+).
Draw its Lew is dot structure here! ______________
Water is actually a VERY polar substance. As a result, it uses the very strong type of
intermolecular (between molecule) forces of attraction called “HYDROGEN BONDS.”
As a result of H-bonding, water has an unusually high melting point and boiling point
compared with similar molecules like H2S.
Water has a very high specific heat, so it heats up and cools down much more slowly
than most materials. This value is found on Table B.
Water solutions that contain ions are capable of conducting electricity. The substances
that form the ions in solution are called “electrolytes.”
2. Water is able to make solutions with many substances.

Solutions are ALWAYS HOMOGENEOUS MIXTURES.
Water will dissolve many ionic compounds.
Water will dissolve molecular substances if they are also polar.
This reminds us of the “like dissolves like” principle.
Acids dissolve in water to form H+ ions. (This includes organic acids: R-COOH)
Bases dissolve in water to form OH- ions. (This does NOT include alcohols: R-OH)
3. Ionic compounds may be either soluble or insoluble in water.

Use Table F to decide!
4. Solubility describes how much of a particular solute will dissolve in a set amount
of water at a certain temperature.
Use Table G. The amount of water used is 100 g.
Saturated solutions hold all the solute possible at the temperature chosen for the water.
An increase in temperature of the water usually makes it capable of dissolving more
solute. The opposite is true for gas solutes like O2 gas, or NH3 or SO2 or HCl.
An increase in pressure over the solution increases the solubility of gas solutes. It does
not affect solubility of solutes that are liquids or solids.
5. Solutions have a lower freezing point and a higher boiling point that pure water.
This effect becomes larger with more concentrated solutions.
6. “Concentration” describes how much solute is dissolved in a certain amount of

water.
You should know how to calculate:
o Molarity
o % mass
o Parts per million
• Use Table T and “plug and chug.”

Topic 8: Acids & Bases Outline
1. An electrolyte is a substance which when dissolved in water forms a solution
capable of conducting an electric current. The ability of a solution to conduct an
electric current depends upon the concentration of ions present.
Ionic compounds are conductors of electricity when melted OR dissolved in water. Under these
circumstances, the charged particles (ions in this case) are free to move (mobile).
There are 3 categories of electrolytes: acids, bases and salts.
Arrhenius theory states that an acid is an substance that dissolves in water to produce H+
(H3O+) ions (called “hydronium” ions on Table E).
Arrhenius theory states that a base is an substance that dissolves in water to produce OH- ions
(called “hydroxide” ions on Table E).
A salt is any ionic compound producing a positive ion other than H+ and a negative ion other than
OH-.
Common acid and base names and formulas are given on Tables K and L.
You should be able to sort compounds as acids, bases or salts, given their chemical formulas
2. Properties of many acids and bases can be explained by the Arrhenius theory.
Arrhenius acids and bases are electrolytes.
Acid properties include sour taste, less than 7 pH, ability to neutralize bases, and ability to affect
indicator colors. These properties are due to the H+ ion.
Base properties include bitter taste, greater than 7 pH, ability to neutralize acids, and ability to
affect indicator colors. These properties are due to the OH- ion.
When given properties, you should be able to identify substances as Arrhenius acids or Arrhenius
bases
3. The acidity or alkalinity of a solution can be measured by its pH value.

For every change in pH of one unit, the acidity changes by a factor of 10. A pH 4 solution is 10
times more acidic that a pH 5 solution. A pH 4 solution is 100 times more acidic that a pH 6
solution.
You should be able to identify solutions as acid, base, or neutral based upon the pH. Neutral is a
pH of 7.
4. The relative level of acidity or alkalinity of a solution can be shown by using

indicators.
Various indicators are shown on Table M. Make sure you know how to interpret the info on it!
Example: IF bromothymol blue is yellow in color, we know the pH is 6 OR LESS. If its color is
blue, we know the pH of the solution is 7.6 OR GREATER.
5. In the process of neutralization, an Arrhenius acid reacts with an Arrhenius base

to form a salt and water.
Example: Ba(OH)2 + 2 HBr BaBr2 + 2 H2 O
These reactions are double replacements.
These reactions are NOT redox reactions.
You should be able to write simple neutralization reactions when given the reactants
6. Titration is a laboratory process in which the volume of a solution of known

concentration is used to determine the concentration of another solution.
You should be able to calculate the concentration or volume of a solution, using titration data
In order to do this, use the titration equation on Table T: (MxV) acid = (MxV) base
7. The Bronsted acid - base theory views acids as “H+ donors”, and bases as “H+
acceptors.”

A laboratory worker filled a bottle with a hydrochloric acid solution. Another bottle was filled with
methanol, while a third bottle was filled with a sodium hydroxide solution. However, the worker neglected to
label each bottle. After a few days, the worker could not remember which liquid was in each bottle.
The worker needed to identify the liquid in each bottle. The bottles were labeled A, B, and C. Using
materials found in the lab (indicators, conductivity apparatus, and pieces of Mg metal), the worker tested
samples of liquid from each bottle. The test results are shown in the table below.

Topic 9: Organic Chemistry
1. Organic compounds consist of carbon atoms which bond to each other in chains,
rings and networks to form a variety of structures.
The source of most hydrocarbons (Table Q) is petroleum, which is a mixture of many
hydrocarbons.
The hydrocarbons in petroleum are separated from each other by distillation in a “cracking
tower,” on the basis of boiling points.
The greater the molar mass, the higher the intermolecular forces of attraction between
molecules. As a result, melting points and boiling points are higher. EX: Octane is a liquid at
room temperature, whereas propane (the smaller molecule) is a gas, showing that it has weaker
forces of attractions.
2. Organic compounds can be named with the IUPAC system.

You should know this system! Use Tables P and Q and R for help!
3. Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen.

Saturated hydrocarbons contain only single carbon-carbon bonds.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain at least one multiple carbon-carbon bond (double or triple bond).
Hydrocarbons tend to be nonpolar molecules, and therefore do not dissolve in water.
Hydrocarbons are molecular compounds that do not ionize in water, and are therefore “Non-
electrolytes.”
4. Organic acids, alcohols, esters, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, halides, amines,

amides, and amino acids are categories of organic molecules that differ in their
structures.
Use Table R for help!
Esters are the trickiest to name/draw. Review that one especially!
5. Functional groups give organic molecules distinct physical and chemical

properties.
6. Isomers of organic compounds have the same molecular formula but different
structures and properties.
7. In a multiple covalent bond, more than one pair of electrons are shared between
two atoms. Unsaturated organic compounds contain at least one double or triple
bond.
8. Types of organic reactions include: addition, substitution, polymerization,

esterification, fermentation, saponification, and combustion.
You need to memorize the details of these reactions in order to be able to identify them. The
Regents exam likes to go after the esterification reaction especially.
9. Empirical formulas express the simplest ration of elements in a comnpound.

EX: Hexane – Molecular formula = C6H14 & has an empirical formula of C3H7
Propane – Molecular formula = C3H8 but has no simpler formula, so C3H8 is also
its empirical formula

Ozone gas, O3, can be used to kill adult insects in storage bins for grain without damaging the grain.
The ozone is produced from oxygen gas, O2, in portable ozone generators located near the storage bins. The
concentrations of ozone used are so low that they do not cause any environmental damage. This use of ozone
is safer and more environmentally friendly than a method that used bromomethane, CH3Br. However,
bromomethane was more effective than ozone because CH3Br killed immature insects as well as adult insects.

Topic 10: Phases & Gases
1. The three phases of matter are solid, liquid and gas. Each has its own properties.
Solids have a constant volume and shape. Particles are held in a rigid, crystalline structure.
Liquids have a constant volume but a changing shape. Particles are mobile but still held together by
strong attraction.
Gases have no set volume or shape. They will completely fill any closed contained. Particles have
largely broken free of the forces holding them together.
2. A heating curve (or cooling curve) traces the changes in temperature of a

substance as it changes from solid to liquid to gas (or gas to liquid to solid).
When the substance undergoes a phase change, there is no change in temperature. The line
“flattens” until the phase change is complete.
When a phase change is occurring, the potential energy of the substance changes while kinetic
energy remains the same.
As temperature increases, kinetic energy increases.
3. Heat of fusion (Hf) is the energy needed to convert one gram of a substance from
solid to liquid.
4. Heat of vaporization (Hv) is the energy needed to convert one gram of a

substance from liquid to gas.
5. Specific heat (C) is the energy required to raise one gram of a substance 1 degree
(Celcius or Kelvin).
The specific heat of liquid water is 1 cal/g*J or 4.2 J/g*K.
6. The combined gas law states the relationship between pressure, temperature and
volume in a sample of gas.
Increasing pressure causes a decrease in volume (inverse relationship).
Increasing temperature causes an increase in volume (direct relationship).
Increasing temperature causes an increase in pressure.(direct relationship).
(PV/T)1 = (PV/T)2 reminder!! All temperatures must be in the Kelvin scale when using this equation
7. An ideal gas model is used to explain the behavior of gases. An “ideal gas” would
perfectly obey the combined gas law (PV/T) at all conditions of temperature and
pressure.
A real gas is most like an ideal gas when it is at high temperature and low pressure. In other
words, at conditions which would favor the gas staying in the gas phase (and not liquefying).
The real gases that most resemble ideal gases are H2 and He.
8. The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) for an ideal gas states that all gas particles:
are in random motion.
have no forces of attraction between them.
have a negligible volume compared to the distances between them.
have collisions that result in the transfer of energy from one particle to another, with no net loss of
energy from the collision.
9. Equal volumes of gases at the same temp and pressure have an equal number of
particles.

Topic 11: Electrochemistry (Oxidation-Reduction Reactions) Outline
1. In all chemical reactions there is a conservation of mass, energy, and charge.
2. An oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction involves the transfer of electrons (e-).
3. Reduction is the gain of electrons.
A half-reaction can be written to represent reduction.
For example: Cl2 + 2 e- 2 Cl1-
4. Oxidation is the loss of electrons.
A half-reaction can be written to represent oxidation.
For example: Na Na+ + 1 e-
5. Oxidation numbers (states) can be assigned to atoms and ions. Changes in

oxidation numbers indicate that oxidation and reduction have occurred.
Be able to use an activity series (Reference Table J) to determine whether a redox

reaction is spontaneous.
6. In a redox reaction the number of electrons lost is equal to the number of

electrons gained.
This supports the fact that charge is always conserved!
7. An electrochemical cell can be either voltaic or electrolytic. In an electrochemical

cell, oxidation occurs at the anode and reduction at the cathode.
Be able to compare and contrast voltaic and electrolytic cells.
8. A voltaic cell spontaneously converts chemical energy to electrical energy.
Identify and label the parts of a voltaic cell (cathode, anode, salt bridge) and direction of
electron flow, given the reaction equation.
Since this reaction is spontaneous, use Ref. Table J to help you determine what is the
anode (oxidation) and the cathode (reduction). The most reactive metal will oxidize, the
most reactive non-metal will reduce.
9. An electrolytic cell requires electrical energy to produce a chemical change. This

process is known as electrolysis.
Identify and label the parts of an electrolytic cell (cathode, anode) and direction of
electron flow, given the reaction equation
Since this reaction is non-spontaneous, use Ref. Table J to help you determine what is
the anode (oxidation) and the cathode (reduction). The most reactive metal will reduce,
the most reactive non-metal will oxidize. (NOTE: This is the opposite of what
metals/non-metals want to do!)

20. The Lewis dot diagram for Uut should show 3 dots since the element is placed in Group 13.
21. The charge on a nucleus is due to the number of protons in it, which is identified by the atomic
number. Since Uut is element 113, the answer is +113 (positive charge because protons are
positive in charge).
22. Any other Group 13 element would have similar chemical properties as Uut, especially the other
metals in that Group, elements In and Tl.
23. Element 118 would be placed in Group 18.
24. The element Uuo has 118 protons, and the isotope Uuo-291 has 291 protons and neutrons
combined. So the number of neutrons in Uuo-291 is (291-118) = 173.
25. The number of electrons in an atom of Uuo would be equal to the number of protons, so 118
electrons.
26. Reproducing scientific results is important so that those results can be verified, or confirmed, by
other scientists. This has to happen before the discovery is considered factual.

19. The P-Cl bond is more polar than the P-S bond because the electronegativity difference between P
and Cl is 1.0, whereas it is only 0.6 between P and S. The greater the electronegativity difference,
the more polar the bond.
20. The boiling point of octane according to the graph is about 125oC.
21. The relationship is as the molar mass increases, the strength of the intermolecular forces
between molecules also increases.
22. AQ2
23. The bonds between nonmetals is always covalent.
24. The total mass before and after a reaction is always the same due to conservation of mass.

value to be about 65 mN/m
29. As temperature increases, the surface tension decreases.
30. The lower surface tension value for CCl4 indicates that the intermolecular forces between CCl4
molecules are weaker than those between H2O molecules.

6. The diagram should look like
7. According to the chemical equation, reacting 1 mole of propane (C3H8) releases 2219.2 kJ , so 2.5
moles x 2219.2 kJ = 5548.0 kJ
86
8. The diagram should look like
9. Use the q = mcΔT equation (Table T)
q = (5.00 g) (4.71 J/g oC) (30 oC)
q = 707 J
9. average KE = remains the same since Temperature is not changing along BC.
PE = increasing as the sample vaporizes
10. Use the q = mHv equation from Table T
q = 5.00 g (1370 J/g)
q = 6850 J
11. The entire sample of NaCl is in the liquid phase along segment CD, where the temperature
changes from 801 to 14650C, so the range over which the entire sample is in the liquid phase is
(1465-801) = 664oC
12. The average KE is changing anywhere where the temperature is changing, so correct answers are
segments AB or CD
13. The segment where NaCl is in one phase and able to conduct electricity would be where it is all
and only in the liquid phase (it then has mobile ions capable of conducting electricity). So the
segment CD applies.
14. Use the q = mcΔT equation from Table T
Obtain the specific heat of water value from Table B, and the change in temperature value
from the paragraph above the picture (22oC to 57oC)
q = (100.0 g) ( 4.18 J/g oC) (35oC)

q = 14630 J
15. Percent error = (30.2 – 25.9/30.2) x 100% = 14.2%

16. The boiling point is 120oC.
17. During the first minute of heating the sample is in the solid phase, so draw the particles touching
each other and arranged in a definite pattern.
18. The substance is in the liquid phase only from 4 minutes to 7, so the answer is 3 minutes.
19. Heat is being added at a constant rate of 15kJ per minute according to the paragraph above the
graph, and the substance takes from 2 minutes to 4 minutes to melt, so the heat needed to melt is
15 x 2 = 30 kJ

12. As molecules increase in temperature, they move faster and collide harder. As a result, more of
them will break each other’s bonds and go on to react.
13. The rates must be equal.
14. Adding more HC2H3O2 will cause the equilibrium reaction to “shift right” and in so doing,
produce more H+ ions, so the concentration of H+ increases
15. This one is given to you on Table R!
16. One source of the activation energy would be the hard contact between the two ceramic balls.
17. The fact that the “571.6 kJ” value is located on the products side.
18. The system coverts reactants that are all in the gas phase to one product in the liquid phase. SO
the entropy decreases because:
o The product particles are in a less energetic phase, OR
o There are fewer product particles than reactant particles
19. Adding Cl2 causes the reaction to “shift to the right” meaning the reaction speeds up in the
forward direction, producing more OCl- ion.
20.
21. In the vapor phase, the molecules of octane are no longer in contact with each other, so they have
a less orderly arrangement, whereas in the liquid state, the intermolecular forces between
molecules still exists and causes the molecules to be in a more orderly arrangement.

19. The water molecules should be shown with their positive ends near the negatively charged Cl- ion,
or in other words, the hydrogen ends should be closest to the Cl- ion.
20. This point when plotted falls below the solubility curve, so the solution is unsaturated.
21. O2 has a low solubility due to the fact that O2 molecules are nonpolar and water molecules are
polar, hence they have little ability to attract each other, so O2 does not dissolve well.
22. Use the parts per million equation from Table T:
ppm = (0.0070 g/1000.0070 g) X 1,000,000 = 7 ppm
23. Pressure has no effect on the solubility of KNO3 (solid). Pressure over a solution only affects the
solubility of gaseous solutes like CO2.
88
24. At 15oC, the solubility of KNO3 is 30 g per 100 g of water. Since 65 grams of KNO3 are present
in the system, (65-30) = 35 g of KNO3 will settle to the bottom.
25. The “-ol” suffix on the name “1,2-ethanediol” tips you off that this compound is an alcohol.
26. Since water is polar, the fact that 1,2 ethanediol mixes well with water implies that the molecules
of 1,2 ethanediol are also polar.
27. Use the “moles” equation from Table T;
Moles = 6690/62 = 108 moles
28. Use the parts per million equation from Table T:
300 ppm = (mass of solute/1000 g of solution) x 1,000,000

Mass of KOH = 0.300 grams

20. Since methyl orange is only yellow if the pH is greater than 4.4, and litmus is only red if the pH is
less than 5.5, any pH value between 4.4 and 5.5 is an acceptable answer.
21. Any base would work, so look on Table L for ideas,if you need to. Acceptable answers
include NaOH, Ca(OH)2 etc.
22. Sample B is the methanol. This can be concluded because alcohols are molecular substances
and do not dissolve in water to produce ions, and hence are nonconductors when dissolved.
23. Reactivity with Mg metal – a reaction indicates an acid
Bromothymol blue indicator – yellow color indicates that the pH was 6.0 or lower,
which is an acidic pH
24. The explanation must be that all 3 solutions have pH values greater than 4.4.
25. OH-1 ion (hydroxide)
26. Molarity = moles / Liter of solution = 0.500 moles/0.400 L =1.2 Molar or 1.2 M
27. no question
28. This is a neutralization equation so the products of a reaction between an acid and a base are
always water and some salt. In this case, H2O + NaNO3
29. Use Table K… “hydrochloric acid”
30. Use the titration equation from Table T:
MAVA = MBVB
MA (10.22mL) = (0.500 M) (17.03 mL)
MA = 0.833 Molar
31. The volumes each have 4 significant figures, and the Molarity value has 3, so the answer for the
calculated HCl Molarity should have 3 significant figures.

10. Neon has an atomic mass of 20.1 so one mole is equal to 20.1 grams.
Density = m/V = 20.1 g/ 24.4 L = 0.824 g/L

11. The boiling point is 120oC.
12. The particles should all be shown touching each other, and should be arranged geometrically, or
with a specific pattern shown.
13. The sample becomes completely melted at 4 minutes,and then warms up and starts to vaporize at 7
minutes. So it is in the liquid ONLY phase from 4 to 7 minutes, a total of 3 minutes.
14. The paragraph above the graph states that heat is added at “a constant rate of 15 kJ per minute.”
The sample takes from 2 minutes to 4 minutes to melt at its melting point (70oC). SO multiply 15
x 2 = 30 kJ
15. The initial volume of the cylinder is 125 mL, which is equivalent to 0.125 Liters
125 mL x 1.0 Liter = 0.125 Liters
1000 mL
16. Use the combined gas law:

P1V1 = P2V2
T1 T2
** Since Temp remains the same, you may drop “T1” and “T2” out of the equation:
(1.0 atm) (125 mL) = (1.5 atm) V2
V2 = 83 mL
90
17. This is a way of asking Avogadro’s hypothesis. For gases, there is a predictable relationship
between the V, T, P and number of molecules for the sample. If two gas samples have the same P,
T, and V values, they must contain the same number of molecules.
