Part 1
Procedure:
1.       Set up 6 clean, dry test tubes. Divide the test tubes into 2 groups of 3. Label a piece of paper in front of each pair A, B, and C.
2.       Fill each test tube from the first set half way with water. Fill each test tube from the second set half full with paint thinner.
3.       In the first set, carefully add enough salt crystals to cover the bottom of the test tube.
4.       Stopper the test tube and carefully shake it several times. Examine the test tube and look for any crystals that may be stuck against the walls. Repeat this process with the first test tube in the second set.
5.       Repeat steps 3 and 4 with crystals of sugar in test tube B from each set.

Analysis:
1) Based on the results from part 1, what conclusions can you draw about the types of solutes that can dissolve in polar and non-polar substances?
Polar substances dissolve polar solutes.
Non-polar solutes dissolve in non-polar substances.

2) Using the conclusion you made in question 1, predict whether or not Glycerin is polar or non-polar.
Glycerin is polar because it did not dissolve.

3) What would you predict to happen if you combine water, glycerin and paint thinner all in one test tube.
The glycerin will dissolve in the water and the paint thinner will float on top.

Types of Bonds

A. Intramolecular: bonds that exist within a molecule
                -ionic, covalent
B. Intermolecular: bonds that exist between molecules
                -the stronger the intermolecular bonds the higher the boiling point or melting point
                -2 types of intermolecular bonds: Van der  Waasl bonds and hydrogen bonds


I. Van der Waals Bonds
                A. Based on the electron distribution
                                a. 2 categories
                B. Dipole-dipole bonds
                                a. If a molecule is polar the positive end of one molecule will be attracted to the negative end of another molecule

II. London Depression Forces (LDF)
                A. present in all molecules
                B. creates weakest bonds
                C. If a substance is non-polar, dipole-dipole bonds do not exist, only LDFs
                D. Electrons are free to move around and will randomly be grouped on one side of the molecule
                E. This creates a temporary dipole and can cause a weak bond to form
                F. The more electrons in the molecule the stringer the LDF can be

IV. Hydrogen Bonding
                A. If hydrogen is bonded to certain elements (F, O or N) the bond is highly polar
                B. This forms a very strong intermolecular bond 

Polar Molecules

I. Polar Molecules
                A. Have an overall charge separation
                B. Unsymmetrical molecules are usually polar
                C. Molecular dipoles are the result of unequal sharing of electrons

II. Predicting Polarity
                A. If a molecule is symmetrical, the pull of an electron is usually unbalanced
                B. Molecules can be unsymmetrical in 2 ways
                                a. different atoms
                                b. different number of atoms



Bonding

I. Types of Bonds
                A. There are 3 main types of bonds
                                a. Ionic (metal and non-metal)
                                                i. electrons are transferred from metal to non-metal
                                b. covalent (non-metal and non-metal)
                                                i. electrons are shared between non-metals
                                c. metallic (metal and metal)
                                                i.holds pure metals together by electrostatic attraction

II. Electronegativity
                A. Electronegativity (en)* is a measure of an atom's attraction for electrons in a bond
                B. Atoms with a bigger en attract/want electrons more
                C. Polar covalent bonds form from an unequal sharing of electrons
                D. Non-polar covalent bonds form from unequal sharing of bonds

III. Bonds
                A. The type of bond formed can be predicted by looking at the difference in electronegativity of elements
                                a. en > 1.7 = ionic bond
                                b. en < 1.7 = polar covalent bond
                                c. en = 0 = non-polar covalent

Ion Concentrations

I. Dissociation
                A. Ionic compounds are made up of 2 parts
                                a. Cation: positively charged particle
                                b. Anion: negatively charged particle
                B. When ionic compounds are dissolved in water the cation and anion separate from each other. This process is called dissociation
                C. When writing dissociation equation the atoms and charges must balance
                                a. The dissociation of sodium chloride is:
                                NaCl ---> Na+ + Cl-

Ex. Complete the following dissociations
1. Fe(OH)2 ---> Fe2+ + 2OH-
2. Na3PO4 ---> 3Na+ + PO43-
3. Fe3(PO4)2 ---> 3Fe2+ + 2PO43-

                        D. If the volume does not change then the concentration of individual ions depends on the balanced coefficients in the dissociation equation

Ex. Determine the [Na+] and [PO43-] in a 1.5M solution on Na3PO4
Na3PO4 -->  3Na+ + PO43-

1.5M x (1/1) = 1.5M [PO43-]
1.5M x (3/1) = 4.5M [Na+]

Ex. Determine both ion concentrations when a 2.5M solution of Lithium sulphate dissociates.
Li2SO4 ---> 2Li+ + SO42-

2.5M x (2/1) = 5.0M [Li-]
2.5M x (1/1) = 2.5M [SO42-]

Dilutions

I. Diluting Solutions
                A. When 2 solutions are mixed the concentration chenges
                B.  Dilution: process of decreasing the concentration of a solution by adding solvent (usually water)
                                a. The amount of solute doesn't change, only the volume changes
                                                i. v1=v2
                C. Because concentration is [mol/L] we can write:
                                a. C= n/v              or           n=C/v   so C1v1=C2v2

Ex. Determine the concentration when 100mL of 10.0M HCL is diluted to a final volume of 400mL

C1= 0.1M
V1=100mL
C2=  ?
V2= 400mL

C1v2=C2v2
C1v1 / v2= C2
(0.1M)(100mL) / (400mL) = 0.025 mol/ mL

Ex. How much water must be added to 10.0mL of 10.0M Na2SO4 to give a solution with a concentration of 0.50M?

C1=10.0M
V1= 10.0mL
C2=0.50M
V2=?

C1V1=C2V2
C1V1 / C2= V2
(10.0M)(10.0mL) / (0.5M) = 200mL

ΔV = Vf - Vi
ΔV = 200 - 10
ΔV = 190 mL of water needs to be added

Ex. How much water must be evaporated from 2.00L of 0.250M KCl solution for the final concentration to be 2.75M?

C1=0.250M
V1= 2.00L
C2=2.75M
V2=?


C1V1=C2V2
C1V1 / C2= V2
(0.250M)(2.00L) / (2.75M) = 0.182L

ΔV = Vf - Vi
ΔV = 0.182 - 2.00
ΔV = 0.182 - 200
ΔV= -1.82



Ex. [100 mL of 0.250M]a sodium nitrate is mixed with [200mL of 0.100M]b sodium nitrate. Find the concentration.

-Find the mol and volume of each solution separately
Solution a.  (0.100L) x (0.250mol / 1L) = 0.025 mol
Solution b. (0.200L) x (0.100mol / 1L) = 0.0200 mol

-Add together
moltot = 0.025mol + 0.0200mol = 0.0450mol
volumetot= 100mL + 200mL = 300mL

(moltot) / (Volumetot) = Molaritytot
(0.0450mol) / (0.300L) = 0.150M

Ex. What mass of silver nitrate is needed to make 75.0mL of a 0.130M solution?
(0.130mol / 1L) x (0.075L) x (169.9g / 1mol) = 1.66g

Solution Stoichiometry

I.  SOLUTIONS
                A. Solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of a solute and a solvent
                                a. Solute: The chemical present in lesser amount
                                                1. Whatever is being dissolved
                                b. Solvent: The chemical present in greater amount
                                                2. Whatever does the dissolving
                B. Chemicals dissolved in water are aqueous (aq)

II. MOLARITY
                A. Concentration can be expressed in many different ways
                                a. Ex. g/L, mL/L, % by volume, % by mass, mol/L
                                b. The most common is mol/L (M), which is also called molarity
                                                1. mol/L = M
                                                2. [HCl] = find the concentration of HCl

EX.  What is the concentration of 0.118 mol of water in 2.50 L?
0.11 x (1 mol/ 2.50 L) = 0.047M

EX. A solution of Pb(NO3)2 has a concentration of 0.330M. How many moles of solute are contained in 100 mL?
(0.330 mol/L) x (0.100L/ 1) = 0.0330 mol

EX. Determine the concentration of 12.5g of PbCl2 in 30mL of water
12.5g x (1 mol/ 278.2g) x(1/ 0.030L) = 1.5M

EX. What volume of 12.7M  HNO3 would be needed to produce  25.0g of HNO3?
(1L/ 12.7 mol) x (25g/ 1) x (1 mol/ 63 g) = 0.031 L

Limiting Reactants

I. In chemical reactions, usually one chemical gets used up first.
                A. This is known as the limiting reactant
                B. Once the L.R. is used up, the reaction stops
                C. The L.R. determines the quantity of products formed
                D. To find the L.R. assume one reactant is used up. Determine how much of this reactant is used up

Ex.
2.5 mol of CuSO4 reacts with 2.5 mol of NaNO3. A) Determine the L.R. B)Calculate how many moles of NaNO3 are formed.

CuSo4 + 2NaNO3 --> Cu(NO3)2 + Na2SO4

A) 2.5 mol x (2/1*) = 5.0 mol of NaNO3
*What you need over what you have

Since you do not have 5.0 mol of NaNO3 and you only have 2.5 mol of it, the L.R. is NaNo3

B) 2.5 mol x (1/2) = 1.25 mol of NaNO3

Ex.
Determine the L.R. when 1.4 mol of hydrogen reacts with 0.09 mol of oxygen.

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

1.4 mol of hydrogen x (1/2) = 0.70 mol of O2

Therefore the L.R. is H2

Ex.
What is the L.R. when 125g of P4 reacts with 320g of Cl2 to form phosphorus trichloride?

P4 + 6Cl2 --> 4PCl3

125g x (1 mol/ 124g*) x (6/1) x (71.0g/ 1 mol**) = 429g of Cl2
* Molar mass of P
**Molar mass of Cl

Therefore Cl2 is the L.R.

Ex. In the formation of water 50g of oxygen react with 60g of hydrogen. Determine the L.R. and theoretical yield.

2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O

50g of O2 x (1 mol/ 32g) x (2/1) x (2.0g/ 1 mol) = 6.25 of H2

Therefore the L.R. is O2

Energy and Percent Yield

I. Enthalpy is the energy stored in chemical bonds
                A. The symbol of enthalpy is H
                                a. units of joules (J)
                B. Change in enthalpy is ΔH
                C. In exothermic reactions enthalpy decreases
                D. In endothermic reactions enthalpy increases

II. Calorimetry
                A. To experimentally determine the heat released we need to know 3 things
                                a. temperature change (ΔT)
                                b.  mass (m)
                                c. specific heat capacity (C)

These are related by the equation:
ΔH = mCΔT
Calculate the heat required to warm a cup of 723 g of water (c=6.98J/g˚C) from 30.0˚C to 50.0˚C
C = 6.98J/g˚C
M = 723g
T = 20.0˚C
H = mCT
= (723g)(6.98 J/g˚C)(20.0˚C)
= 100930.8
= 1.01×10⁴
Ex. 9500 J of heat are added to a 778 g glass of water initially at 56.0˚C calculate the final temperature of the water (c = 6.21 J/g˚C)
H = 9500 J
m = 778 g
C = 6.21 J/g˚C
Ti = 56.0˚C
H = mCT
= mC (Tf-Ti)
95000J = (778g)(6.21J/g˚C)(Tf-56.0˚C)
95000J = (4831J/˚C)(Tf-56.0˚C)
95000J / 4831J/˚C 
= (4831J/˚C )(Tf-56.0˚C) / (4831J/˚C )
19.7˚C = Tf-56.0˚C
Tf = 75.7˚C

III. Percent Yield
                A.  The theoretical yield of a reaction is the amount of products that should be formed.
                B. The actual amount depends on the experiment
                c. The percent yield is like a measure of success
                                a. How close is the actual amount to the predicted amount?

Ex. The production of Octane (C8H18) is given by the equation:
C8H18 → 8C + 9H2
If 38.0g of Octane are produced, determine the theoretical (predicted) yield of Carbon.

If 38.0g of Octane are produced, determine the theoretical (predicted) yield of Carbon.

 What is the percent yield of Carbon if 11.0 g is produced?
(11.0 g / 32 g) x 100 = 34%
