Electrolyte/Nonelectrolyte
Friday, May 21, 2010, we read pages 19 to 29. We learned new terms like electrolyte and non
electrolyte. "conducts electricity" is an electrolyte and "do not
conduct electricity" is a non electrolyte. An example of a non
electrolyte is water (H2O). An example of an electrolyte is sodium
hydroxide (NaOH). Then, Ms. K showed us a demo that determine if a
compound is an electrolyte or non electrolyte. We looked at questions
on page 22. Questions 4, 9, 10 and 14 are identified as non
electrolytes. We added 2 questions #13. H2O and #14. NaCl. Electrolytes
are question #s 1,2,3,5,6,7,8,11,12,13,14.
*all organic compounds are NON electrolytes*
*strong acids are ALWAYS strong electrolytes*
*strong acids are considered to completely dissociate in water*
We also did the 'calculating the dissociation constant' on page 29.
After the booklet, Ms. K assigned us to do Acid -Base Equilibria
Worksheet 4 questions #1-4.
Have a nice long weekend!!!

Logs/Antilogs pH/pOH
pH = - log[H+] pOH = - log [OH-]
pH + pOH = 14.0 [H+][OH-] = 1.0 x 10-14
[H+] = anitlog (-pH) = 10^-pH [OH-] = antilog (-pOH) =10^ -pOH
Today, we went over the worksheet #2 about acids and bases #’s 1 and 2 where we were to identify which one is an acid, base, conjugate acid and conjugate base. Also, to determine whether they were Arrhenius acids/bases or Bronsted-Lowry acids/bases. We also did the Kw problems #’s 1-10 and the Acid-Base Assignment #6 numbers 1 and 2 on the board today.
Mrs. K assigned numbers 3 and 4 today and this was to be handed at the end of the class.
Dont forget the equilibrium law can be written as:
Kw = [H3O+][OH-] Where the value of Kw is constant at 1.0 x 10-14.

May 07, Friday
First, we did the questions 3 & 4 in the Solubility Equilibria Assignment #1. Obtain the answers from Ms. K. Note: in letters b and d you have to change the unit to moles/liter before you can solve for the Ksp.
We also went over the pages 31-35 on the Chemical Equilibrium booklet. In that, we learned a new lesson, determining ion concentration from Ksp. For all of you who hates ICE, you'll life will be easier. It's no different from the ICE method we've been doing, except that:
- the initial concentration of the ions (products), before dissolving, is zero.
- reaction is consists of a saturated solution as reactants and ions as products so you get to IGNORE the saturated solution, the solid one, in your ice table.
Example: The Ksp of magnesium hydroxide is 8.9 x 10 ⁻12. Determine the solubility of Mg(OH)₂.
- Mg(OH)₂(s) <=> Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)
C.............___................+x................+2x
E..............___...............+x................+2x
To solve for x, use the formula, Ksp = [products] and substitute the values. We'll find that the solubility of Mg(OH)₂ is 1.3 x 10-4.
That's determining ion concentration using Ksp in PURE WATER. Another thing we learned is determining ion concentration with an ION IN COMMON WITH THE COMPOUND.
Example: The Ksp of magnesium hydroxide is 8.9 x 10 ⁻12. What is the solubility of magnesium hydroxide in a 0.10 M solution of NaOH.
Step 1: Determine the concentration of the common ion, OH ⁻.
NaOH(s) <=> Na+(aq) + OH -(aq)
[OH⁻] = [NaOH] = 0.10 M
Step 2: Set up an ICE table for Mg(OH )₂.
- Mg(OH)₂(s) <=> Mg2+ (aq) + 2OH⁻(aq)
C.............___................+x................+2x
E..............___...............+x................0.10 +2x
***You have to include the concentration of OH - from NaOH(s) in the table because when we dissolve Mg(OH)₂ in the solution, OH ions are present. According to Le Chatelier's Principle, adding more OH ions to a saturated solution would increase the overall concentration of the products shifting the equilibrium to the left. This would result in more solid formed and a decrease solubility.***
Step 3: Substitute values into the solubility product expression.
Ksp = [Mg2+][OH-]2
8.9 x 10⁻12= (x)(0.10 + 2x)2
**at this point, you can see that you'll have a quadratic equation if you solve further, so, ignore the x of the ion in common, OH. Ms. K said that it's too tiny to matter.**
8.9 x 10⁻12= (x)(0.10)2
8.9 x 10⁻12= 0.01x
8.9 x 10⁻10M = x
Let's check if the value makes sense. The solubility of Mg(OH)₂ in pure water is 1.3 x 10-4 M and in a 0.10 solution of NaOH is 8.9 x 10⁻10M. The solubility decreased, just as we predicted.
I dont know if I have to pick for someone to do the next scribe... if so, i'll pick Ericka! :) :)

DOUBLE DOWN!
On Thursday we were taught how to do average rate, you know
Rate = [(final concentration of A) - (initial concentration of A)] / [(final time) - (initial time)]
In other words:
Rate = [A]f - [A]i / Tf - Ti
Or in other words besides that:
Rate = Δ[A] / ΔT
We also learned about instantaneous rate: The rate at a specific time. The example is shown on page 12 and is answered in steps on page 13.
** by the way - the use of [A] can be replaces by any other variable [B], [C], [...]
We also went over:
Kinetics Assignment #1 Answers q. 1-3
On Friday (April 9th) We learned about Rate and Stoichiometry. The example on page 14 shows:
2NO2(g) -> 2NO(g) + O2(g)
We gave 2NO2(g) the value of 4g/min To find out the values of 2NO(g) and O2(g) we use ratios. 2NO2(g) and 2NO(g) have a ration of 2:2 or 1:1 so they have the same value, however O2(g) has a different concentration or ratio of 2:1 so it's 1/2 the amount of 2NO2(g) so it has 2g/min... get it?
We also created / answered some questions on Reaction Rate graphs. (Chapter 18 Worksheet)
(Sorry picture was too blurry... just google it or do your work :D !)
We also did all of the questions on page 15
Received Chapter 18 Worksheet or Reaction Rates Worksheet
Answered Questions 4 and 5 on Kinetics Assignment #1
Was assigned and corrected Questions 1-7 in Kinetics Assignment #2
** AND I THINK WE HAVE A CHEM TEST TOMORROW (April 12) ... I MAY BE WRONG AND IT MAY BE ON WEDNESDAY! ... SO YEAH! **
Yeapp, that's pretty much it... I think I mixed up some events that occurred on those days, but ... whatever they're bound to happen ha. Now a parting gift:

KINETICS
Anyway, yesterday Ms. K shows as how catalyst work on the solution. Catalyst define as something that initiates or causes an important event to happen. Originally a term used in chemistry for the volatile (active) chemical in a formula. (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/catalyst). In simple explanation it speeds up the reaction of the two aqueous solutions. As I said earlier Ms. k shows us how it works in the solution. Well it really works but there was a little problem happen. The point is catalyst really works on the solution.
Yesterday we did our lab too, the part 3 and also we answer the questions in the lab sheet.
Sorry guys but I'm really bad at this thing (blogging). I work till 11:30 so I totally forgot about it.

April 05 and April 06 2010
One is the day after the Spring Break, Monday, April 05, 2010.
In class, we continued our studies on Chemical Kinetics. We answered the assignment assigned to us before Spring Break which was to do the questions on page 10 of our booklet in Chemical Kinetics. You have to read the previous pages to understand the answers. Here are they: (note: the answers are my own words, Ms. K was too lazy to write hers on the board...)(oh yeah, it said that you have to show diagrams.. but I don't know how to show mine here so figure that one yourself. :)
1.) The increase of concentration of the reactants the faster the reaction to occur therefore, increasing the reaction rate.
2.) a.) Increase in temperature causes the molecules to move faster, therefore more collision. More collisions/reactions --> increase in reaction rate. Decrease in temperature does the opposite --> slower reaction.
b.) The larger or more exposed the particle means more surface area. More surface area means greater chance of collisions --> increase in reaction rate. Less surface area, you know, slower reaction.
c.) More pressure means less travelling space. Less travelling space means faster collisions among the molecules --> increase in reaction rate. Less pressure means more travelling space and the collisions won't occur as fast.
3.) Catalysts provides an easier path for the reaction to proceed. It lowers the activation energy of a reaction, so, more particles are able to surpass the activation energy required. These means more collisions and an increase in the reaction rate.
4.) a. ) i. is faster because in a solution, reaction will occur more quickly to the ions because they are free to move.
b.) ii is faster because Ag is hungrier for elections than Cu. This brings us back to our previous unit, Atomic Structure. Ag has a higher Electronegativity value than Cu, so it can attract more electrons than Cu... I think.
c.) i is faster because all elements in the solution are ions.
d.) ii is faster because all of the elements are in the same state, gaseous form.
By the way, we only spent half of the class; we were called down to the gym for a meeting with the principal.
The second day is today, April 06, 2010.
We did a lab... and that's pretty much it. It was about how elements involved, concentration of the elements, temperature, a catalyst and particle size affect the reaction rate. We only did two parts of the lab sheet, so expect that we will do more of it tomorrow.
Yay! Jeck, it's your turn. :)
