Density = mass/volume (d=m/v)
Pure Substances
- Elements and compounds, atoms, molecules
- Difficult to separate or put together
- Constant boiling and freezing points
- Homogenous
Mixtures
- 2 or more kinds of matter with separate identities
- Easily separated
- Heterogenous (solutions are homogenous)
- Air is mixture
Physical Changes - Reactions that do not produce new types of matter and are easily reversed
(usually change of state)
Chemical Changes - Reactions that do produce new types of matter with different properties
(look for color, temperature, gas escaping, and precipitation)
Scientific Measurements
Law of Conservation of Mass - Matter is never created nor destroyed in chemical or physical
reactions
Extensive Properties - depend on the amount of matter (the more you add, the more it changes)
(ex. Length, weight, temperature)
Intensive Properties - are independent of the amount of matter(will stay the same regardless of
amount of matter) (ex. Density, color, boiling/freezing points)
Separation of Substances
Technique How it’s performed
Average Mass Unit (AMU) - basically just the atomic mass so have fun with that
If there are multiple elements you just add all of em up and slap an amu title on it
Isotopes - have the same identity but different masses (same number of protons, diff neutrons)
➢ Isotopes written as <element name> - <number of neutrons> ex) chlorine-35
Example:
Carbon-14 Carbon-13 Carbon-12
Abundance: 2.869% Abundance: 18.597% Abundance: 78.534%
Mass: 14.0012 Mass: 12.9988 Mass: 12.0003
(0.02869)(14.0012) + (0.18597)(12.9988) + (0.78534)(12.0003) = 12.2434
States of Matter
Solid Liquid Gas
Have a definite volume Have a definite volume and Volume and density change in
pours or flows shape
Composition of an Atom
Subatomic Particle - particles that make up the atom
Particle Symbol Charge Mass Location Function
What I got wrong on test: Precision vs accuracy (if the results are 0.2 off then it’s accurate
enough)
Balancing Equations
➔ Count all the atoms on each side and add coefficients to make the reactant side and
products side have the same amount of each element
Ex: Na + Cl2 → NaCl
2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
Classifying Reactions
1) Synthesis Reaction
1. Two or more substances combine to form one compound
- 2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl
2) Decomposition Reaction
- One substance breaks down to form two or more products
- KOH → K+ + OH-
3) Single Replacement Reaction
- One element is replaced by another in a reaction
- 2NaNO3 + Cl2 → 2NaCl + 2NO3-
4)Double Replacement Reaction
- Elements switch groups
- Na2S + Cd(NO3)2 → 2NaNO3 +CdS
5)Combustion
- Burns with O2 and gives off large amounts of energy and light (key indicator is oxygen on
the reactants side)
- CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + H2O
After, you divide both mols by the coefficients in their balanced equation.
0.469
HCN: 2
= 0.235
0.415
Cu(SO4)2: 1 = 0.415
Hydrogen cyanide evidently has less amount of moles than copper (II) sulfate, so hydrogen
cyanide is the limiting reactant.
Although it may have looked like at first copper (II) sulfate was the limiting reactant, you must
make sure you divide by the coefficient. The initial number of moles before you divide does not
always indicate that it’s a limiting reactant.
The other reactant is the excess reactant.
Answer: HCN is the limiting reactant and Cu(SO4)2 is the excess reactant.
Mole Ratio - The ratio in the amounts of moles between two compounds (use coefficients
ONLY; if there is nothing for the coefficient, it’s 1) basically you can find this after you balance
ex) C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
Mole ratio for hydrogen in propane (C3H8) to water (H2O) is 4:1 - for every 4 mols of hydrogen
in propane, there is 1 mol of hydrogen in water
How to Stoich:
★ First step in stoichiometry is always to balance the equation
Example of stoichiometry:
Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide. If 3.4 moles of sulfur dioxide reacts
wiith excess oxygen gas, how many moles of sulfur trioxide will form?
SO2 + O2 → SO3
1. Balance: 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
2. 3.4 mols SO2x 2 mols SO3 = 3.4 mols SO3
1 2 mols SO2
Example Analysis: First you balance the equations to figure out the mole ratios (how much of a
reactant is needed per product made). Once you’re done balancing, you set up an equation like
shown below:
Note: You will ALWAYS use limiting reactant for theoretical yield
2nd Note: REMEMBER TO USE MOLES NOT GRAMS
If they give you only the grams in the equation, remember to convert it to moles before
applying mole ratio. Make sure to check if the problem wants molecules, moles, or grams before
providing the final answer.
Example analysis
➢ Use the number given to you and put it as the numerator for the leftmost side, and then
multiply it by the mole ratio (mole ratio is <coefficient of compound you’re given the
amount of> to <coefficient of compound you’re tryna find>)
Second Example
Sulfur dioxide reacts with oxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide. If 3.4 moles of sulfur dioxide reacts
wiith excess oxygen gas, how many moles of sulfur trioxide will form?
SO2 + O2 → SO3
1. Balance: 2SO2 + O2 → 2SO3
2. 3.4 mols SO2 x 2 mols SO3 = 3.4 mols SO3
1 2 mols SO2
Example analysis
➢ Use the number given to you and put it as the numerator for the leftmost side, and then
multiply it by the mole ratio (mole ratio is <coefficient of compound you’re given the
amount of> to <coefficient of compound you’re tryna find>)
Heat Temperature
E = (m)(c)( T)
➔ E: Change in energy (J) heat loss or gain
➔ m: Mass (g) of a substance
➔ c: Specific heat capacity (J/g℃
➔ T: Change in temperature (℃) [Initial Temperature - Final Temperature)
★ DO NOT use specific heat capacity as a source of significant figures
Endothermic Reactions
- When heat is absorbed from surroundings
- Chemical Change: Decrease in temperature
- Physical (Phase) Change: Increase in Temperature
- E is Positive
- Reactant + E → Product
- Products > Reactants
Exothermic Reactions
- When heat is released into surroundings
- Chemical Change: Increase in Temperature
- Physical (Phase Change): Decrease in Temperature
- E is Negative
- Reactant → Product + E
- Reactants > Products
Thermochemical Equations
- Balanced Equations
- Includes energy term (Absorbs, Releases)
Gibb’s Free Energy - Energy that is able to do work; Takes place at constant temperature and
pressure and predicts whether reaction is spontaneous or nonspontaneous
G = H -T S
➢ If G Positive - Nonspontaneous
➢ If G Negative - Spontaneous
What I got wrong on test: ALL ELEMENTS have a heat of formation of 0 kJ/mol (was true/false
q)
UNIT 4 NOTES: GAS LAWS
General Overview: Gas Laws (no shit sherlock its the title), conversions of
pressure and temperature, Effusion, Diffusion
Pressure - Force per unit area that the particles in the gas exert on the walls of their container
- Is measured using a barometer
- Gas can be compressed
Boyles Law - Gas volume is inversely proportional to the pressure on the gas when temperature
(T) and moles (n) are constant.
P1V1 = P2V2
★ When setting it up think of it as Initial PV = Final PV
- When Pressure ↑ Volume ↓
- When Pressure ↓ Volume ↑
Dalton’s Law - Total Pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial
pressure of the component gas
- Partial Pressure - amount of pressure by each individual gas
- Constant volume and pressure
Ptotal = P1 + P2 + P3 + P4…
Charles’s Law - At higher temperature, the particles in a gas have greater kinetic energy
- the volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature when pressure and number of
moles are constant
V1 = V2
T1 T2
- When Temperature ↑ Volume ↑
- When Temperature ↓ Volume ↓
Gay Lussac’s Law - When volume and moles are kept constant, pressure and temperature are
directly proportional
P1 = P 2
T1 T2
- When Pressure ↑ Temperature ↑
- When Pressure ↓ Temperature ↓
Graham’s Law - molecules are always moving because of Brownian motion; the ratio of rates of
diffusion for gases
- Measures how fast gas moves through a perfume
- If Temperature is constant →Kinetic Energy of Gases = Same
KE = ½mv² where m - mass & v - velocity
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐵
Diffusion Rate: 𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏
= 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐴
^ same stuff v
Effusion Rate (how gas escapes):
(effusion is solved the same way as diffusion - courtesy of Kalei Dacayanan)
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑏 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐴
𝑅𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑎
= 𝑀𝑎𝑠𝑠 𝐵
- a = the light and fast gas
- b = heavier and slower gas
★ Rate is dependent on how heavier b is to a
★ REMEMBER the number on top is always greater than the number on bottom!
★ At same temp RATE IS THE SAME (this is the q a lot of ppl got wrong on test)
Molar Volume - 6.02 x 1023 molecules of any gas at STP will occupy 22.4L

Sphere 0 2 electrons
Principle 1 6 electrons
Diffuse 2 10 electrons
Fundamental 3 14 electrons
★ To find l: energy level (n) - 1 (for example: if n = 4 then it can be a s, p, d, or f (4-1 =3);
4s = 4th energy level in sphere orbital)
★ Easier way to remember: if the element is:
- In the s block, l=0
- In the p block, l=1
- In the d block, l=2
- In the f block, l=3
Diagonal Rule
Isoelectronic - atoms that have the same number of electrons, and electron configuration
d exceptions
- Filled energy levels are more stable (d9 column) (all 10 are filled)
Ex: Cu (29 electrons) →1s22s22p63s23p63s24s23d9
Change: 4p13d10
- Half filled energy levels are next best
Ex: Cr (24 electrons) →1s22s22p63s24s23s23p64s23d4
Change: 4s13d5
Evaluate Configuration
1. Ground State
- Named diagonal rule order
2. Excited State
- Skips
3. Impossible
- Just plain wrong (use your fucking head :))
Periodic Trends
Metals - hard, shiny, luster, good conductors, malleable, form positive ions by losing electrons
Nonmetals - usually gases or dull and brittle solids, good insulators, form negative ions by
gaining electrons
Metalloids (Semi-Metals) - have both properties (staircase)
Trend = General Pattern
1) Atomic Radius: measure of size (nucleus to outermost electron)
2)
Ionic Radius
Ionic Nomenclature
★ Metal + Nonmetal
★ Before naming an ionic compound, ALWAYS make sure to determine if the metal’s
charge is fixed or variable.
Fixed - Groups 1 and 2 (+1 and +2 charge), Ag+1, Zn+2, Cd+2, Al+3
dihydrate 2H2O
trihydrate 3H2O
tetrahydrate 4H2O
pentahydrate 5H2O
hexahydrate 6H2O
heptahydrate 7H2O
octahydrate 8H2O
nonahydrate 9H2O
decahydrate 10H2O
ex) If a 5.00g sample of a hydrate of copper (II) chloride produces 3.58g of anhydrous copper
(II) chloride after heating, what is the formula of the hydrate?
5.00g (total mass of hydrate + copper II chloride) - 3.38g (anhydrous copper (II) chloride) =
1.42g (of water)
Copper (II) Chloride: 0.358 x 1 mol = 0.0266 = 1
1 134.45 0.0266
Water: 1.42 x 1 mol = 0.788 = 3
1 18.02 0.0266
CuCl2 · 3H2O
Copper (II) Chloride Trihydrate
Example Analysis: it’s pretty similar to empirical formula, you get the mols of CuCl2 and water
and then divide both by the smallest number of mols of the two. After that it’s only a matter of
putting down the coefficients and yayayy
Covalent Nomenclature
➢ Nonmetal + Nonmetal
Naming based on Greek prefixes
1 mono-
2 di-
3 tri-
4 tetra-
5 penta-
6 hexa-
7 hepta-
8 octa-
9 nona-
10 deca-
ex) N2O3 - dinitrogen trioxide PCl5 - Phosphorus pentachloride
★ Key things to look for to identify if it’s an ionic compound or covalent compound
Ionic Compounds Covalent Compounds
Max electrions 2 4 4 6
Max bonds 1 2 2 3
How to Identify How Many Valence Electrons an Element has Using the Periodic Table:
Disregard the transition metals cuz they vary but besides that, we just count from left to right and
whatever number you land on is the one for that column
- ex) Carbon → 4 valence electrons; Neon → 8 valence electrons; Cs → 1 valence
electron
Types of Bonds:
1. Single Bond - A chemical bond in which one pair of electrons are shared between two
atoms (is the longest and weakest)
2. Double bond - basically two single bonds you dumb shit
One double bond shares 4 electrons
3. Triple bond - kinda in the name too
One triple bond has 6 electrons (is the shortest and strongest)
James Bond - A British secret agent working for MI6 under the codename 007
ex)
Dude lewis structures are a pain to draw
Lone pairs - a pair of valence electrons that are not shared with another atom
VSEPR Theory
- Stands for Valence Shell Electron Pair Repulsion Theory
- The 3D shapes of molecules can be predicted if we assume that electron pairs stay as far
apart as possible
Electron Clouds - elements of electron pairs attached to center atom
Bonded Pairs - elements attached to center atom
Nonbonded Pairs (lone pairs) - electron pairs attached to center atom
Bond Types
➔ Bonding - The types of bonds depend on the electronegativities of the elements involved
➔ Electronegativity (EN) - the attraction an atom has for a shared pair of electrons
★ Strength of Forces
○ Ionic → Polar Covalent → Nonpolar Covalent → Hydrogen → Dipole-Dipole →
London Forces
Metallic Bonds
- “Sea of electrons”
- Electrons are free to move
- Responsible for metal’s luster
- Conductors
Compounds of a Solution
Solution - Homogeneous mixtures (solute dissolved in solvent)
➔ Solute - getting dissolved (smaller amount)
➔ Solvent - does the dissolving (larger amount)
- Water = Universal Solvent (BUT IF THERE’S MORE SMTH THAN WATER
THAN WATER CAN BE THE SOLUTE, MAKE SURE TO WATCH FOR
VALUES!)
Solubility
➔ Miscible - no limit to solubility
➔ Immiscible - never able to dissolve
1 2
Beer’s Law - each molecule of solute absorbs the same fraction of light regardless of
concentration in a non-absorbing medium
➔ Absorbance & Light = Linear Relationship
★ Yes, the M and the m makes a difference. M is for Molarity while m is for Molality
Colligative Properties
1. Freezing Point - Adding solute to solvent; particles are in the way; lead to lower freezing
point (depression what every high schooler has)
2. Boiling Point - adding solute to solvent, more energy required to change to gas; boiling
point is higher (elevation)
3. Osmotic Pressure - Pressure required to prevent osmosis (remember that shit from bio?
Semipermeable membrane and all)
➔ Isotonic - solute is equal inside and out
➔ Hypertonic - more solute outside cell
➔ Hypotonic - more solute inside cell
4. Vapor Pressure
➔ Activation energy
- energy needed to make product (B)
➔ Energy of reactants (A)
➔ Energy of products (D)
➔ Enthalpy (negative for exothermic; positive for endothermic) (D minus A)
➔ Activated Complex (TOP OF C)
Boltzmann Curve
Equilibrium Rules
1. Reactions are reversible
2. Both reactions are occurring at the same time
3. Forward and Reverse reactions occur at same rate
4. Closed system (nothing changes)
5. Started Reaction with either reactant or product
6. Temperature, pressure, and concentration kept constant
Le Chatelier's Principle
➔ Stress (what you probably have while reading all of this) - any change in
concentration, temperature, pressure, or volume
➔ If a stress is added to a system in an equilibrium, the system counteracts that
change and reaches a new state of equilibrium
Changes in Concentration/Temperature
➔ Increase - reaction shifts away from change
➔ Decrease - reaction shifts towards change
Calculate Keq
1. Balance equation
2. Write Keq omitting solids and liquids
Extra
- Acid removes OH- and Base removes H+
What i got wrong:
- In exothermic reactions, products have less energy than reactants
- Adding H2SO4 is adding go 2H+ not H2O
Acid
➔ Arrhenius Definition: compound with the more [H+] ions
➔ Bronsted-Lowry Definition: compound that can donate [H+] ions
➔ Description: Sour
- Ex: citrus fruits
Base
➔ Arrhenius Definition: compound with the more [OH-] ions
➔ Bronsted-Lowry Definition: compound receives [H+] ions
➔ Description: Bitter, Soapy, Slippery
- Ex: coffee, tea
Acids Nomenclature
1. If the compound ends with -ate then drop -ate and change it to -ic
Ex: HNO3 ←NO3 = Nitrate ic→Nitric Acid
2. If the compound ends with -ite then drop -ite and change it to -ous
Ex: H3PO3 ←PO3 = Phosphite orous →Phosphorous Acid
3. If the compound ends with -ide then add prefix hydro- and change -ide to -ic
E: HCl ←Chloride ic→ Hydro- + Chloric = Hydrochloric Acid
Bronsted-Lowry
Conjugated Acids/Bases - acids and bases that differ by a proton
➔ Can be identified as the opposite of what it was on the reactants
Ex: If a compound is a Acid on Reactants then it is a Conjugate Base on Products
➔ Amphoteric - when a substance can act as an acid and a base (ex: H2O [water])
Buffers - Chemicals that can change the pH levels based on how much of a H+ ion or OH- is
added in limits
➔ The solution can resist any changes by reacting with H+ OH- ions
➔ Consists of a mixture of…
1. Weak Acid & Conjugate Base
2. Weak Base & Conjugate Acid
➔ Buffer Capacity - Limited (Maximum) amount of acid or base a buffered solution can
take
