This foundational science helps us understand the world around us, from the air we breathe to the materials we use daily.\n\nEssential ideas in chemistry include atomic structure, chemical bonding, states of matter, and energy changes in reactions. These concepts form the basis for understanding more complex chemical processes and their real-world applications.","overview":"## Key Concepts and Definitions\n- Chemistry studies the composition, structure, properties, and reactions of matter, especially at the atomic and molecular level\n- Matter anything that has mass and takes up space (volume)\n- Element a pure substance that consists of only one type of atom and cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means (oxygen, carbon, iron)\n- Atom the smallest unit of an element that retains its chemical properties\n - Consists of a dense nucleus containing protons and neutrons surrounded by electrons in shells\n- Molecule two or more atoms held together by chemical bonds (water, carbon dioxide)\n- Compound a substance made up of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio (salt, sugar)\n- Mixture a physical combination of two or more substances that can be separated by physical means (salt water, air)\n- Physical change alters the form of a substance without changing its chemical composition (melting ice)\n- Chemical change (reaction) a process that transforms one set of chemical substances into another, forming new substances with different properties\n\n## Atomic Structure and Properties\n- Atoms consist of protons (positive charge), neutrons (no charge), and electrons (negative charge)\n - Protons and neutrons make up the dense nucleus at the center of the atom\n - Electrons orbit the nucleus in shells at fixed energy levels\n- Atomic number the number of protons in an atom's nucleus, unique to each element\n- Mass number the total number of protons and neutrons in an atom's nucleus\n- Isotopes atoms of the same element with different numbers of neutrons (carbon-12, carbon-13, carbon-14)\n - Isotopes have the same chemical properties but different physical properties (radioactivity, stability)\n- Periodic table organizes elements by increasing atomic number and groups them by similar properties\n - Periods (rows) elements with the same number of electron shells\n - Groups (columns) elements with the same number of valence electrons and similar chemical properties\n- Valence electrons outermost electrons involved in chemical bonding and reactions\n- Electronegativity the ability of an atom to attract electrons in a chemical bond (fluorine, oxygen)\n\n## Chemical Bonding Basics\n- Chemical bond an attractive force that holds atoms together in molecules or compounds\n- Ionic bond formed by the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions (sodium chloride)\n - Involves the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal\n - Creates crystalline solids with high melting points and electrical conductivity when dissolved or molten\n- Covalent bond formed by the sharing of electrons between two nonmetals (water, methane)\n - Electrons are shared equally in nonpolar covalent bonds (oxygen gas)\n - Electrons are shared unequally in polar covalent bonds due to electronegativity differences (water)\n- Metallic bond formed by the attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalized electrons (copper, aluminum)\n - Accounts for the malleability, ductility, and thermal and electrical conductivity of metals\n- Intermolecular forces weak attractions between molecules (hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, London dispersion)\n - Influence physical properties like boiling point, viscosity, and surface tension\n- Lewis structures diagrams that show the bonding and lone pair electrons in molecules using dot notation (water, ammonia)\n\n## Matter and Energy\n- States of matter solid, liquid, gas, and plasma\n - Solids have a fixed shape and volume (ice)\n - Liquids have a fixed volume but take the shape of their container (water)\n - Gases have no fixed shape or volume and expand to fill their container (helium)\n -

This unit explores pure substances, mixtures, and solutions, delving into their properties, classifications, and the ways we measure and describe their compositions.\n\nConcentration, solubility, and colligative properties are key concepts in solution chemistry. These ideas help us understand how substances interact, dissolve, and affect the properties of solutions, with practical applications ranging from antifreeze in cars to medical treatments like dialysis.","overview":"## Key Concepts\n- Matter can be classified as pure substances or mixtures based on their composition and properties\n- Pure substances have a fixed composition and distinct properties (melting point, boiling point) while mixtures vary in composition and properties\n- Solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of a solute dissolved in a solvent\n - Solute is the substance being dissolved (sugar)\n - Solvent is the substance doing the dissolving (water)\n- Concentration is the amount of solute present in a given amount of solution\n - Can be expressed in various units (molarity, molality, mass percent)\n- Solubility refers to the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature\n - Affected by factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of solute and solvent\n- Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the concentration of solute particles, not their identity\n - Include vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and osmotic pressure\n\n## Types of Substances\n- Elements are pure substances that cannot be broken down into simpler substances by chemical means (oxygen, iron)\n- Compounds are pure substances composed of two or more elements chemically combined in a fixed ratio (water, salt)\n- Homogeneous mixtures have a uniform composition throughout (air, brass)\n - Also called solutions when a solute is dissolved in a solvent\n- Heterogeneous mixtures have a non-uniform composition and distinct phases (oil and water, sand and gravel)\n- Alloys are homogeneous mixtures of two or more metals or a metal and a nonmetal (steel, bronze)\n- Colloids are mixtures with particles larger than those in solutions but small enough to remain suspended (milk, fog)\n - Exhibit properties such as the Tyndall effect and Brownian motion\n\n## Solutions and Their Properties\n- Solutions can exist in any physical state (solid, liquid, or gas)\n - Gaseous solutions (air)\n - Liquid solutions (salt water)\n - Solid solutions (alloys)\n- The solubility of a solute in a solvent depends on the intermolecular forces between the solute and solvent particles\n - \"Like dissolves like\" principle: polar solvents dissolve polar solutes, nonpolar solvents dissolve nonpolar solutes\n- Saturated solutions contain the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature\n - Adding more solute results in undissolved solute settling at the bottom\n- Unsaturated solutions contain less than the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a given temperature\n - More solute can be added until saturation is reached\n- Supersaturated solutions contain more solute than can normally dissolve at a given temperature\n - Prepared by cooling a saturated solution without allowing solute to crystallize\n\n## Concentration Measurements\n- Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution\n - $Molarity = \\frac{moles\\ of\\ solute}{liters\\ of\\ solution}$\n- Molality (m) is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent\n - $Molality = \\frac{moles\\ of\\ solute}{kilograms\\ of\\ solvent}$\n- Mass percent is the mass of solute divided by the total mass of the solution, expressed as a percentage\n - $Mass\\ percent = \\frac{mass\\ of\\ solute}{total\\ mass\\ of\\ solution} \\times 100\\%$\n- Parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are used for very dilute solutions\n - ppm represents milligrams of solute per liter of solution or milligrams of solute per kilogram of solvent\n - ppb represents micrograms of solute per liter of solution or micrograms of solute per kilogram of solvent\n- Mole fraction is the ratio of the number of moles of one component to the total number of moles in the solution\n - $Mole\\ fraction = \\frac{moles\\ of\\ component}{total\\ moles\\ in\\ solution}$\n\n## Solubility and Factors Affecting It\n- Temperature affects solubility differently for solid and gas solutes\n - Solubility of solid solutes generally increases with increasing temperature\n - Solubility of gas solutes decreases with increasing temperature\n- Pressure affects the solubility of gases in liquids\n - Henry's law states that the solubility of a gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas above the liquid\n- The presence of a common ion decreases the solubility of a slightly soluble salt\n - Common ion effect: the solubility of a slightly soluble salt decreases when a soluble compound containing one of the ions is added to the solution\n- The pH of the solution can affect the solubility of substances\n - Acidic solutions can increase the solubility of basic compounds, while basic solutions can increase the solubility of acidic compounds\n- The polarity of the solute and solvent determines solubility\n - Polar solutes dissolve in polar solvents, nonpolar solutes dissolve in nonpolar solvents\n\n## Colligative Properties\n- Vapor pressure lowering occurs when a nonvolatile solute is added to a solvent\n - The solute particles reduce the surface area available for solvent molecules to escape, lowering the vapor pressure\n- Boiling point elevation is the increase in the boiling point of a solution compared to the pure solvent\n - $\\Delta T_b = K_b \\times m$, where $K_b$ is the molal boiling point elevation constant and $m$ is molality\n- Freezing point depression is the decrease in the freezing point of a solution compared to the pure solvent\n - $\\Delta T_f = K_f \\times m$, where $K_f$ is the molal freezing point depression constant and $m$ is molality\n- Osmotic pressure is the pressure that must be applied to a solution to prevent the flow of solvent molecules across a semipermeable membrane\n - $\\Pi = MRT$, where $M$ is molarity, $R$ is the gas constant, and $T$ is the absolute temperature\n- Colligative properties are used in applications such as antifreeze, desalination, and osmosis\n\n## Practical Applications\n- Freeze distillation is a process that uses freezing point depression to concentrate solutions (maple syrup production)\n- Dialysis is a medical treatment that uses osmosis and a semipermeable membrane to remove waste products from blood\n- Reverse osmosis is a water purification method that uses osmotic pressure to remove dissolved solids from water\n- Fractional crystallization is a separation technique that uses differences in solubility to isolate components of a mixture (purifying salt from seawater)\n- Antifreeze solutions use colligative properties to lower the freezing point of water and prevent engine damage in cold temperatures\n- Salting roads in winter lowers the freezing point of water, preventing ice formation and improving road safety\n- Osmotic drug delivery systems use osmotic pressure to control the release of medication over time\n\n## Common Mistakes and Tips\n- Remember that molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution, not per liter of solvent\n- When calculating molality, use the mass of the solvent, not the mass of the solution\n- Be careful with units when converting between concentration measurements\n- Remember that colligative properties depend on the number of solute particles, not their identity\n - Electrolytes dissociate into multiple particles, increasing the effect on colligative properties\n- When using the vapor pressure lowering, boiling point elevation, or freezing point depression equations, make sure the units match the constants ($K_b$ and $K_f$ are molal constants)\n- In the osmotic pressure equation, use molarity, not molality\n- When solving problems involving colligative properties, identify the solute and solvent, and determine the concentration in the appropriate units","active":true,"order":3,"meta":{"title":"Substances and Solutions Composition | Intro to Chemistry Class Notes","description":"Study guides to review Substances and Solutions Composition.

Enthalpy change ($\\Delta H$) is the amount of heat absorbed or released by a system during a process\n- Calorimetry measures the heat transfer during chemical reactions or physical changes\n - Specific heat capacity ($c$) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius\n- Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the route taken from reactants to products\n\n## Energy in Chemical Reactions\n- Chemical reactions involve the breaking and forming of chemical bonds, which results in changes in energy\n- Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat, light, or sound (combustion of fuel)\n - Products of exothermic reactions have lower energy than the reactants\n- Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings, often in the form of heat (photosynthesis)\n - Products of endothermic reactions have higher energy than the reactants\n- The energy change in a chemical reaction is equal to the difference between the energy of the products and the energy of the reactants\n- Activation energy is the minimum energy required for a reaction to occur\n - Catalysts lower the activation energy, increasing the rate of a reaction without being consumed\n\n## First Law of Thermodynamics\n- The First Law of Thermodynamics states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only converted from one form to another\n- In a closed system, the total energy remains constant\n- The change in internal energy ($\\Delta U$) of a system is equal to the heat ($q$) added to the system plus the work ($w$) done on the system: $\\Delta U = q + w$\n- For processes occurring at constant pressure, the change in enthalpy ($\\Delta H$) is used instead of the change in internal energy\n - $\\Delta H = \\Delta U + P\\Delta V$, where $P$ is the pressure and $\\Delta V$ is the change in volume\n- The First Law of Thermodynamics allows for the calculation of energy changes in chemical reactions and physical processes\n\n## Enthalpy and Heat of Reaction\n- Enthalpy ($H$) is a state function that represents the total heat content of a system at constant pressure\n- The change in enthalpy ($\\Delta H$) during a chemical reaction is called the heat of reaction\n - $\\Delta H = H_{products} - H_{reactants}$\n- Exothermic reactions have a negative $\\Delta H$ value, as they release heat to the surroundings\n- Endothermic reactions have a positive $\\Delta H$ value, as they absorb heat from the surroundings\n- Standard enthalpy of formation ($\\Delta H_f^{\\circ}$) is the enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its constituent elements in their standard states at 1 atm pressure and a specified temperature (usually 25°C)\n- Standard enthalpy of combustion ($\\Delta H_c^{\\circ}$) is the enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is completely burned in excess oxygen at standard conditions\n\n## Calorimetry and Heat Measurement\n- Calorimetry is the measurement of heat transfer during chemical reactions or physical changes\n- A calorimeter is a device used to measure the heat exchanged in a chemical reaction or physical process\n - Common types include bomb calorimeters and coffee cup calorimeters\n- The heat absorbed or released by a system can be calculated using the equation: $q = mc\\Delta T$\n - $m$ is the mass of the substance, $c$ is the specific heat capacity, and $\\Delta T$ is the change in temperature\n- The specific heat capacity ($c$) is the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 degree Celsius\n -

The corresponding enthalpy changes are also added, subtracted, or multiplied accordingly\n- Standard enthalpy of formation values can be used in conjunction with Hess's Law to calculate the enthalpy change of a reaction\n - $\\Delta H_{reaction}^{\\circ} = \\sum \\Delta H_f^{\\circ}(products) - \\sum \\Delta H_f^{\\circ}(reactants)$\n\n## Bond Energies and Enthalpies\n- Chemical bonds store potential energy, known as bond energy\n- Bond energy is the amount of energy required to break a specific bond in one mole of a substance\n - Stronger bonds have higher bond energies and require more energy to break\n- The enthalpy change of a reaction can be estimated using bond energies\n - $\\Delta H_{reaction} = \\sum(Bond\\,energies\\,of\\,bonds\\,broken) - \\sum(Bond\\,energies\\,of\\,bonds\\,formed)$\n- Bond enthalpies are average values derived from multiple compounds containing the same type of bond\n - They provide a reasonable estimate of the enthalpy change but may not be as accurate as experimentally determined values\n- The difference between the bond energies of the reactants and products contributes to the overall enthalpy change of the reaction\n\n## Real-World Applications\n- Thermochemistry has numerous real-world applications in various fields\n- In the energy industry, the enthalpy of combustion is used to determine the energy content of fuels (natural gas, gasoline)\n - This information is crucial for optimizing fuel efficiency and reducing emissions\n- In materials science, thermochemical data is used to design and develop new materials with desired properties (high-temperature ceramics, insulation)\n- In biochemistry, thermochemistry plays a role in understanding the energy changes associated with metabolic processes (cellular respiration, photosynthesis)\n -

Hydrogen bonds are stronger than typical dipole-dipole forces and significantly influence the properties of substances (water, proteins, DNA)\n- Ion-dipole forces occur between ions and polar molecules\n - Ion-dipole forces are stronger than dipole-dipole forces and are important in solvation and electrolyte solutions\n- Intermolecular forces influence physical properties such as boiling point, melting point, and solubility\n -

This unit explores the behavior of gases, their properties, and the laws governing their interactions. Understanding gases is essential for grasping concepts in thermodynamics, chemical reactions, and environmental science.\n\nThe study of gases involves key concepts like pressure, volume, temperature, and the number of moles. Gas laws, including Boyle's, Charles's, and the Ideal Gas Law, describe relationships between these variables. The Kinetic Molecular Theory explains gas behavior at the particle level, while real-world applications demonstrate the importance of gases in everyday life.","overview":"## Key Concepts and Definitions\n- Gases consist of particles (atoms or molecules) that are widely spaced and in constant random motion\n- Pressure ($P$) is the force per unit area exerted by gas particles colliding with the walls of a container, measured in units such as atmospheres (atm), millimeters of mercury (mmHg), or pascals (Pa)\n- Volume ($V$) is the amount of space occupied by a gas, typically measured in liters (L) or cubic meters (m³)\n- Temperature ($T$) is a measure of the average kinetic energy of gas particles, expressed in units of Kelvin (K) or degrees Celsius (°C)\n- The number of moles ($n$) represents the amount of gas particles, with one mole containing $6.022 \\times 10^{23}$ particles (Avogadro's number)\n- Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) refers to a set of reference conditions, typically 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm (101.325 kPa)\n- Boyle's Law states that the pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional at constant temperature and number of moles ($P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$)\n- Charles's Law describes the direct proportionality between volume and temperature of a gas at constant pressure and number of moles ($\\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \\frac{V_2}{T_2}$)\n\n## Properties of Gases\n- Gases assume the shape and volume of their container due to their ability to expand and compress\n- Gas particles have negligible intermolecular forces, allowing them to move independently and randomly\n- The density of gases is much lower than that of liquids or solids because of the large spaces between particles\n- Gases are highly compressible, meaning their volume can be greatly reduced by applying pressure\n- Gas particles undergo elastic collisions, conserving kinetic energy and momentum during interactions\n- Diffusion is the spontaneous mixing of gas particles due to their random motion, resulting in a uniform distribution\n- Effusion is the process by which gas particles escape through a small opening, with lighter particles effusing faster than heavier ones (Graham's Law)\n- Gases can be liquefied by applying high pressure and/or lowering the temperature, causing the particles to come closer together\n\n## Gas Laws and Equations\n- The Ideal Gas Law ($PV = nRT$) relates pressure, volume, number of moles, and temperature of an ideal gas, with $R$ being the universal gas constant ($8.314 \\frac{J}{mol \\cdot K}$)\n- Boyle's Law ($P_1V_1 = P_2V_2$) states that pressure and volume are inversely proportional at constant temperature and number of moles\n - For example, doubling the pressure on a gas will halve its volume, assuming temperature and moles remain constant\n- Charles's Law ($\\frac{V_1}{T_1} = \\frac{V_2}{T_2}$) describes the direct proportionality between volume and temperature at constant pressure and number of moles\n - This means that increasing the temperature of a gas will cause its volume to increase proportionally, if pressure and moles are unchanged\n- Gay-Lussac's Law ($\\frac{P_1}{T_1} = \\frac{P_2}{T_2}$) relates pressure and temperature of a gas at constant volume and number of moles, showing their direct proportionality\n- Avogadro's Law ($\\frac{V_1}{n_1} = \\frac{V_2}{n_2}$) states that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles at constant pressure and temperature\n- The Combined Gas Law ($\\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$) combines Boyle's, Charles's, and Gay-Lussac's Laws, relating changes in pressure, volume, and temperature\n- Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures ($P_{total} = P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_n$) states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of its components\n\n## Kinetic Molecular Theory\n- The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT) is a model that describes the behavior of gases based on the motion and interactions of their particles\n- Gas particles are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and the walls of the container\n- The average kinetic energy of gas particles is directly proportional to the absolute temperature\n- Collisions between gas particles and with the container walls are perfectly elastic, conserving kinetic energy and momentum\n- The average distance between gas particles is much greater than their size, making the volume of the particles negligible compared to the volume of the container\n- There are no attractive or repulsive forces between gas particles, except during brief collisions\n- The pressure exerted by a gas is the result of particle collisions with the container walls, and is proportional to the number of collisions per unit time\n- The KMT helps explain the properties and behavior of gases, such as pressure, volume, temperature, and diffusion\n\n## Real vs. Ideal Gases\n- An ideal gas is a theoretical concept that perfectly follows the assumptions of the Kinetic Molecular Theory and the Ideal Gas Law\n- Real gases deviate from ideal behavior due to intermolecular forces and the finite volume of particles\n- Deviations from ideal behavior become more significant at high pressures and low temperatures, when particles are closer together\n- The van der Waals equation ($[P + \\frac{an^2}{V^2}][V - nb] = nRT$) modifies the Ideal Gas Law to account for intermolecular forces ($a$) and particle volume ($b$) in real gases\n - The term $\\frac{an^2}{V^2}$ represents the attraction between particles, which reduces the observed pressure\n - The term $nb$ represents the volume occupied by the particles themselves, reducing the available volume for motion\n- Examples of real gases include air, nitrogen ($N_2$), oxygen ($O_2$), and carbon dioxide ($CO_2$)\n- At low pressures and high temperatures, real gases behave more like ideal gases, as intermolecular forces and particle volume become less significant\n\n## Gas Mixtures and Partial Pressures\n- A gas mixture is a combination of two or more gases that retain their individual properties and do not react chemically\n- Dalton's Law of Partial Pressures states that the total pressure of a gas mixture is the sum of the partial pressures of its components ($P_{total} = P_1 + P_2 + ... + P_n$)\n- The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure it would exert if it occupied the entire volume alone, and is proportional to its mole fraction ($x_i$)\n - Mole fraction is the ratio of the number of moles of a component to the total number of moles in the mixture ($x_i = \\frac{n_i}{n_{total}}$)\n- The partial pressure of a component can be calculated using the formula $P_i = x_i \\times P_{total}$\n- Examples of gas mixtures include air (nitrogen, oxygen, argon, and trace gases) and natural gas (methane, ethane, propane, and other hydrocarbons)\n- The composition of a gas mixture can be expressed in terms of mole fractions, partial pressures, or percentages\n- Collecting gases over water involves considering the vapor pressure of water, which contributes to the total pressure of the gas mixture\n\n## Applications in Chemistry and Daily Life\n- Gases are used in various industrial processes, such as the production of ammonia (Haber process), sulfuric acid (Contact process), and methanol\n- Compressed gases are used in welding (oxygen, acetylene), scuba diving (air, nitrox), and medical applications (oxygen therapy, anesthesia)\n- Gases are essential for life processes, such as respiration (oxygen) and photosynthesis (carbon dioxide)\n- The Earth's atmosphere is a mixture of gases, primarily nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), which supports life and regulates climate\n- Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, absorb and emit infrared radiation, contributing to the greenhouse effect and global warming\n- Gases are used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems, utilizing the principles of phase changes and pressure-temperature relationships\n- Aerosols, such as spray paints and deodorants, rely on compressed gases as propellants to dispense the product\n- Gas chromatography is an analytical technique that separates and identifies components of a gas mixture based on their interactions with a stationary phase\n\n## Common Problems and Solutions\n- Converting between different units of pressure (atm, mmHg, kPa) using conversion factors\n - For example, 1 atm = 760 mmHg = 101.325 kPa\n- Applying the Ideal Gas Law ($PV = nRT$) to solve for an unknown variable, given the other three\n - Remember to use consistent units and the appropriate value for the gas constant $R$\n- Using stoichiometry to determine the amount of gas produced or consumed in a chemical reaction\n -

Apply the van der Waals equation for real gases at high pressures or low temperatures\n- Determining the molar mass of a gas using the Ideal Gas Law and experimental data\n - Measure the pressure, volume, temperature, and mass of the gas sample, and solve for the molar mass using the rearranged Ideal Gas Law ($M = \\frac{mRT}{PV}$)\n- Analyzing the effusion or diffusion rates of gases using Graham's Law\n - Compare the molar masses or densities of the gases to determine the relative rates of effusion or diffusion","active":true,"order":9,"meta":{"title":"Gases | Intro to Chemistry Class Notes","description":"Study guides to review Gases.

If K > 1, the equilibrium favors the products (product-favored)\n - If K < 1, the equilibrium favors the reactants (reactant-favored)\n - If K ≈ 1, the equilibrium is neither product-favored nor reactant-favored\n- The magnitude of K also indicates the completeness of the reaction\n - If K is very large (K >> 1), the reaction is essentially complete and proceeds mostly to products\n - If K is very small (K << 1), the reaction is incomplete and only a small amount of products are formed\n- For heterogeneous equilibria involving pure solids or liquids, their concentrations are constant and not included in the equilibrium constant expression (solubility product constant, Ksp, for the dissolution of a sparingly soluble salt)\n- For gas-phase reactions, the equilibrium constant can be expressed in terms of partial pressures (Kp) instead of concentrations (Kc) using the ideal gas law: Kp = Kc (RT)^Δn, where Δn is the change in the number of moles of gas\n\n## Le Chatelier's Principle\n- Le Chatelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a stress or change in conditions, the equilibrium will shift in the direction that minimizes the stress or opposes the change to re-establish equilibrium\n- Stresses that can disturb equilibrium include changes in concentration, pressure, volume, and temperature\n- Adding a reactant or product will shift the equilibrium in the direction that consumes the added species to minimize the stress (adding a reactant shifts equilibrium to the right, forming more products)\n- Removing a reactant or product will shift the equilibrium in the direction that replenishes the removed species (removing a product shifts equilibrium to the right, forming more products)\n- Increasing the pressure or decreasing the volume (for gas-phase reactions) will shift the equilibrium in the direction that reduces the number of moles of gas to minimize the stress (formation of fewer gas molecules)\n- Decreasing the pressure or increasing the volume will shift the equilibrium in the direction that increases the number of moles of gas (formation of more gas molecules)\n- Increasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium in the endothermic direction to absorb the added heat and minimize the stress (favoring the reaction that absorbs heat)\n- Decreasing the temperature will shift the equilibrium in the exothermic direction to release heat and minimize the stress (favoring the reaction that releases heat)\n- Catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium as they accelerate both the forward and reverse reactions equally, only reducing the time required to reach equilibrium\n\n## Factors Affecting Equilibrium\n- Concentration affects equilibrium by shifting it in the direction that minimizes the stress of the concentration change (increasing the concentration of a reactant shifts equilibrium to the right, forming more products)\n- Pressure affects gas-phase equilibria by shifting it in the direction that reduces the number of moles of gas and minimizes the stress of the pressure change (increasing pressure shifts equilibrium to the side with fewer gas molecules)\n- Volume is inversely related to pressure for gas-phase reactions, so decreasing the volume (increasing pressure) shifts equilibrium to the side with fewer gas molecules, while increasing the volume (decreasing pressure) shifts it to the side with more gas molecules\n- Temperature affects equilibrium by shifting it in the direction that minimizes the stress of the temperature change (increasing temperature shifts equilibrium in the endothermic direction, while decreasing temperature shifts it in the exothermic direction)\n - The effect of temperature on equilibrium is determined by the sign of the enthalpy change (ΔH) for the reaction\n - For endothermic reactions (ΔH > 0), increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the right, forming more products\n - For exothermic reactions (ΔH < 0), increasing temperature shifts equilibrium to the left, forming more reactants\n- Catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium but accelerate the rate at which equilibrium is reached by lowering the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reactions equally\n- Inert gases (noble gases) added to a gas-phase reaction at constant volume do not affect the equilibrium as they do not change the partial pressures of the reactants and products\n- Ionic strength can affect equilibrium in aqueous solutions by altering the activities of the ions involved in the reaction, with higher ionic strength generally favoring the side with fewer ions (common ion effect, salt effect)\n\n## Equilibrium Calculations\n- Equilibrium calculations involve determining the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium given the initial concentrations and the equilibrium constant (K) or solving for the equilibrium constant given the equilibrium concentrations\n- The ICE table method is a systematic approach to solving equilibrium problems, where ICE stands for Initial, Change, and Equilibrium concentrations\n - Initial concentrations are the starting amounts of reactants and products before the reaction begins\n - Change in concentrations is determined by the stoichiometry of the reaction and the variable x, which represents the amount of reactant consumed or product formed\n - Equilibrium concentrations are the sum of the initial concentrations and the change in concentrations\n- The equilibrium constant expression is set up using the equilibrium concentrations from the ICE table, and the resulting equation is solved for x (often using the quadratic formula for more complex problems)\n- The calculated value of x is then substituted back into the equilibrium concentration expressions to determine the concentrations of all species at equilibrium\n- For problems involving the calculation of equilibrium constant (K), the given equilibrium concentrations are substituted directly into the equilibrium constant expression, and the resulting value of K is calculated\n- In some cases, simplifying assumptions can be made to solve equilibrium problems more easily\n - For example, if the equilibrium constant is very large (K >> 1), the reaction can be assumed to go to completion, and the equilibrium concentrations can be approximated using the stoichiometry of the reaction\n - If the equilibrium constant is very small (K << 1), the reaction can be assumed to proceed to a negligible extent, and the equilibrium concentrations can be approximated as the initial concentrations\n- When dealing with weak acids or bases, the equilibrium calculations involve the acid dissociation constant (Ka) or the base dissociation constant (Kb), which are special cases of the equilibrium constant (K)\n - The Ka and Kb expressions are set up using the equilibrium concentrations of the weak acid or base, and the resulting equations are solved for the equilibrium concentrations and pH\n\n## Real-World Applications\n- Hemoglobin-oxygen binding in the blood is an example of equilibrium, where hemoglobin (Hb) reversibly binds to oxygen (O2) to form oxyhemoglobin (HbO2): Hb + O2 ⇌ HbO2\n - The oxygen-binding affinity of hemoglobin is affected by factors such as pH, CO2 concentration, and temperature, which can shift the equilibrium and alter the oxygen delivery to tissues\n- The Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis is an industrial application of equilibrium: N2(g) + 3H2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g)\n - The process is carried out at high pressure and moderate temperature with an iron catalyst to shift the equilibrium towards the production of ammonia, which is used in fertilizers and other nitrogen-containing compounds\n- Buffer solutions resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added, maintaining a relatively constant pH through equilibrium reactions between a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid)\n - Buffer solutions are crucial in biological systems (blood pH regulation) and in various industrial and laboratory applications (pH control in chemical reactions, food processing, and water treatment)\n- The solubility of gases in liquids (Henry's law) is an equilibrium process, where the amount of dissolved gas is proportional to its partial pressure above the liquid: C = kP\n - This principle is important in understanding the solubility of oxygen in water (aquatic life), the formation of carbonated beverages, and the removal of dissolved gases from liquids (degassing)\n- The distribution of a solute between two immiscible solvents (liquid-liquid extraction) is an equilibrium process governed by the distribution coefficient (Kd), which is the ratio of the solute concentrations in the two solvents at equilibrium\n - This principle is used in the purification and separation of compounds in chemical and pharmaceutical industries (extraction of antibiotics, removal of impurities)\n- The formation of stalactites and stalagmites in caves is an example of a dynamic equilibrium involving the dissolution and precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO3): CaCO3(s) + H2O(l) + CO2(aq) ⇌ Ca^2+(aq) + 2HCO3^-(aq)\n - Changes in factors such as water acidity, temperature, and CO2 concentration can shift the equilibrium and affect the growth or dissolution of these geological formations over time\n\n## Common Misconceptions and FAQs\n- Misconception: Equilibrium is a static state where no reactions occur.\n - Fact: Equilibrium is a dynamic state where forward and reverse reactions continue to occur at equal rates, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.\n\n- Misconception: Once equilibrium is reached, the concentrations of reactants and products are equal.\n - Fact: The concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium are not necessarily equal; their ratios are determined by the equilibrium constant (K) and the stoichiometry of the reaction.\n\n- Misconception: Adding a catalyst will shift the equilibrium towards the products.\n - Fact: Catalysts do not affect the position of equilibrium; they only accelerate the rate at which equilibrium is reached by lowering the activation energy for both the forward and reverse reactions equally.\n\n- FAQ: What is the difference between the equilibrium constant (K) and the reaction quotient (Q)?\n - Answer: The equilibrium constant (K) is the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at equilibrium, while the reaction quotient (Q) is the ratio of the concentrations of products to reactants at any given time during the reaction. Q is used to determine the direction in which the reaction will proceed to reach equilibrium.\n\n- FAQ: How does temperature affect the equilibrium constant (K)?\n - Answer: The equilibrium constant (K) is temperature-dependent. For endothermic reactions (ΔH > 0), increasing the temperature will increase the value of K, shifting the equilibrium towards the products. For exothermic reactions (ΔH < 0), increasing the temperature will decrease the value of K, shifting the equilibrium towards the reactants.\n\n- FAQ: Can a reaction have multiple equilibrium constants?\n - Answer: A reaction can have multiple equilibrium constants depending on the units used to express the concentrations or partial pressures of the reactants and products. For example, a gas-phase reaction can have an equilibrium constant expressed in terms of molar concentrations (Kc) or partial pressures (Kp), which are related by the ideal gas law.\n\n- FAQ: How do you determine the direction of equilibrium shift when multiple factors are changed simultaneously?\n - Answer: When multiple factors affecting equilibrium are changed simultaneously, you need to consider the effect of each factor independently and then combine their effects to determine the overall direction of the equilibrium shift. In some cases, the effects may oppose each other, and the dominant factor will determine the direction of the shift.\n\n- FAQ: Can equilibrium be achieved in an open system?\n - Answer: Equilibrium can be achieved in an open system, but it is more challenging to maintain because matter and energy can be exchanged with the surroundings. In open systems, steady-state equilibrium can be reached when the rates of input and output of matter and energy are equal, resulting in constant concentrations of reactants and products over time.","active":true,"order":13,"meta":{"title":"Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts | Intro to Chemistry Class Notes","description":"Study guides to review Fundamental Equilibrium Concepts.

Each unit change in pH represents a tenfold change in H+ concentration\n- pH is calculated using the negative logarithm of the H+ concentration: pH = -log[H+]\n- The concentration of OH- ions can be determined using the pOH scale: pOH = -log[OH-]\n- The relationship between pH and pOH is: pH + pOH = 14\n- The concentration of H+ and OH- ions in pure water at 25°C is 1 x 10^-7 M, resulting in a neutral pH of 7\n- Acidic solutions have a higher concentration of H+ ions than OH- ions, while basic solutions have a higher concentration of OH- ions than H+ ions\n- The self-ionization of water (Kw) is the equilibrium constant for the reaction: H2O + H2O <-> H3O+ + OH-\n - Kw = [H3O+][OH-] = 1 x 10^-14 at 25°C\n\n## Strength of Acids and Bases\n- Strong acids and bases completely ionize in aqueous solutions, while weak acids and bases only partially ionize\n- The strength of an acid or base is determined by its dissociation constant (Ka for acids, Kb for bases)\n - Higher Ka or Kb values indicate stronger acids or bases, respectively\n- The acid dissociation constant (Ka) is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of a weak acid: HA + H2O <-> H3O+ + A-\n - Ka = [H3O+][A-] / [HA]\n- The base dissociation constant (Kb) is the equilibrium constant for the dissociation of a weak base: B + H2O <-> BH+ + OH-\n - Kb = [BH+][OH-] / [B]\n- The relationship between Ka and Kb for a conjugate acid-base pair is: Ka x Kb = Kw\n- The percent ionization of a weak acid or base can be calculated using the dissociation constant and the initial concentration\n- The strength of an acid or base is not the same as its concentration; a strong acid can be present in a low concentration, while a weak acid can be present in a high concentration\n\n## Buffer Solutions\n- Buffer solutions resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or base are added or when dilution occurs\n- Buffers consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base (or a weak base and its conjugate acid) in approximately equal concentrations\n- The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation relates the pH of a buffer solution to the pKa of the weak acid and the ratio of the concentrations of the conjugate base and weak acid:\n - pH = pKa + log([A-] / [HA])\n- Buffer capacity is the amount of acid or base that can be added to a buffer solution before a significant change in pH occurs\n - Factors affecting buffer capacity include the concentrations of the weak acid and conjugate base, and the ratio of these concentrations\n- Buffers are important in maintaining stable pH in biological systems (blood, cytoplasm) and in various industrial and laboratory applications (fermentation, chemical synthesis)\n- Common buffer systems include the carbonic acid-bicarbonate buffer (H2CO3/HCO3-) in blood and the acetic acid-acetate buffer (CH3COOH/CH3COO-) in fermentation processes\n- Preparing a buffer solution involves mixing a weak acid with its conjugate base salt (or a weak base with its conjugate acid salt) in the desired ratio and concentration\n\n## Acid-Base Titrations\n- Titration is a technique used to determine the concentration of an unknown acid or base by reacting it with a known concentration of a standard solution\n- The equivalence point is reached when the moles of acid and base are equal, and the reaction is complete\n - At the equivalence point, the pH rapidly changes, indicating the end of the titration\n- Indicators are substances that change color at specific pH ranges and are used to visually detect the endpoint of a titration\n - The endpoint is the point at which the indicator changes color, ideally close to the equivalence point\n- Common indicators include phenolphthalein (colorless in acidic solutions, pink in basic solutions) and bromothymol blue (yellow in acidic solutions, blue in basic solutions)\n- Titration curves plot the pH of the solution against the volume of titrant added, providing information about the strength and concentration of the acid or base being titrated\n- Titrations can be used to determine the pKa of a weak acid or the pKb of a weak base by identifying the half-equivalence point on the titration curve\n- Back titration is a technique used when the direct titration of a substance is not feasible, involving the addition of an excess of a known reagent and then titrating the excess with a standard solution\n\n## Real-World Applications\n- pH regulation in the human body is crucial for maintaining homeostasis, with buffers like the carbonic acid-bicarbonate system in blood helping to keep the pH within a narrow range (7.35-7.45)\n- Acid-base reactions are involved in the formation of caves and sinkholes, as acidic groundwater (carbonic acid) dissolves limestone (calcium carbonate)\n- Ocean acidification, caused by the absorption of atmospheric CO2, has negative impacts on marine life, particularly organisms with calcium carbonate shells or skeletons (coral reefs, mollusks)\n- Soil pH affects the availability of nutrients for plants, with most plants thriving in slightly acidic to neutral soils (pH 6.0-7.5)\n -

Remember that strength refers to the degree of ionization, while concentration refers to the amount of solute per unit volume\n- Incorrectly using the pH scale by forgetting that it is logarithmic\n - A change of one pH unit represents a tenfold change in H+ concentration, not a linear change\n- Misinterpreting titration curves by incorrectly identifying the equivalence point or endpoint\n - The equivalence point is where the moles of acid and base are equal, while the endpoint is where the indicator changes color\n- Neglecting to consider the self-ionization of water (Kw) when calculating the pH of strong acids or bases\n - In dilute solutions, the contribution of H+ or OH- from water can significantly affect the pH\n- Misapplying the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation by using the wrong form of the equation or incorrect values for pKa or concentrations\n - Double-check the equation and ensure that the concentrations used correspond to the conjugate base and weak acid\n- Overlooking the importance of temperature when working with acid-base equilibria\n - Equilibrium constants (Ka, Kb, Kw) and pH are temperature-dependent, so be sure to use values corresponding to the given temperature\n- Confusing the concepts of pH and pOH, or incorrectly calculating their relationship\n - Remember that pH + pOH = 14, and that pH is based on [H+] while pOH is based on [OH-]\n- Not properly calibrating pH meters or using expired pH paper, leading to inaccurate measurements\n - Regularly calibrate pH meters using standard buffer solutions and use fresh pH paper within its expiration date","active":true,"order":14,"meta":{"title":"Acid–Base Equilibria | Intro to Chemistry Class Notes","description":"Study guides to review Acid–Base Equilibria.

This unit explores various types of equilibria, including acid-base, solubility, and complex ion systems. Understanding these concepts is crucial for predicting and controlling chemical reactions in diverse fields.\n\nLe Châtelier's principle and equilibrium constants are key tools for analyzing equilibrium systems. These concepts help chemists manipulate reactions, optimize yields, and solve real-world problems in areas like environmental science, materials engineering, and biochemistry. Mastering equilibria is essential for advanced chemistry studies and applications.","overview":"## Key Concepts and Definitions\n- Equilibrium a state in which the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products over time\n- Dynamic equilibrium a state of balance between opposing processes, where the forward and reverse reactions continue to occur at equal rates\n - Macroscopically, the system appears unchanged, but microscopically, reactions are still occurring\n- Le Châtelier's principle states that when a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in concentration, temperature, volume, or pressure, the equilibrium shifts to counteract the change and establish a new equilibrium\n- Equilibrium constant ($K$) a mathematical expression that relates the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium, indicating the extent to which a reaction proceeds\n - For a general reaction $aA + bB \\rightleftharpoons cC + dD$, the equilibrium constant is expressed as $K = \\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$\n- Solubility product constant ($K_{sp}$) the equilibrium constant for a dissolution reaction, representing the maximum concentration of a solute that can dissolve in a solvent at a given temperature\n- Acid dissociation constant ($K_a$) a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution, defined as the equilibrium constant for the dissociation reaction of the acid\n\n## Types of Equilibria\n- Acid-base equilibria involve the transfer of protons (H⁺) between species, such as the dissociation of weak acids (acetic acid) or the hydrolysis of salts (sodium acetate)\n- Solubility equilibria describe the dynamic balance between a solid solute dissolving in a solvent and the crystallization of the solute from the solution (calcium carbonate in water)\n- Complex ion equilibria involve the formation and dissociation of complex ions, which are formed when metal ions bind to ligands (formation of the hexaaquacopper(II) complex)\n- Redox equilibria occur when oxidation and reduction reactions are balanced, with no net change in the oxidation states of the species involved (iron(II) and iron(III) in a solution)\n- Gas-phase equilibria involve reactions between gaseous species, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal (synthesis of ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases)\n- Heterogeneous equilibria occur when reactants and products are in different phases, such as gas-liquid (carbonation of beverages) or solid-liquid (dissolution of sugar in water) equilibria\n- Homogeneous equilibria involve reactants and products in the same phase, typically in a single liquid solution (dissociation of acetic acid in water)\n\n## Factors Affecting Equilibrium\n- Concentration changes if the concentration of a reactant is increased, the equilibrium shifts to consume the added reactant and produce more products, while increasing the concentration of a product shifts the equilibrium towards the reactants\n - Adding a common ion to a solution reduces the solubility of a slightly soluble salt containing that ion (common ion effect)\n- Temperature changes increasing the temperature favors the endothermic reaction, while decreasing the temperature favors the exothermic reaction\n - The equilibrium constant ($K$) changes with temperature, as described by the van 't Hoff equation\n- Pressure changes for gaseous equilibria, increasing the pressure favors the side with fewer moles of gas, while decreasing the pressure favors the side with more moles of gas\n - Pressure changes do not affect the equilibrium of reactions involving only solids and liquids, as their volumes are minimally affected by pressure\n- Volume changes for gaseous equilibria, increasing the volume (decreasing the pressure) favors the side with more moles of gas, while decreasing the volume (increasing the pressure) favors the side with fewer moles of gas\n- Catalysts accelerate the rates of both the forward and reverse reactions equally, thus reducing the time required to reach equilibrium without altering the equilibrium composition\n- Removal or addition of reactants or products if a reactant or product is continuously removed from the system, the equilibrium shifts to replenish the removed species (precipitation of a solid product), while continuously adding a reactant or product shifts the equilibrium to consume the added species\n\n## Equilibrium Constants and Calculations\n- The equilibrium constant ($K$) is derived from the law of mass action, which states that the rate of a reaction is proportional to the product of the concentrations of the reactants raised to their stoichiometric coefficients\n- For a general reaction $aA + bB \\rightleftharpoons cC + dD$, the equilibrium constant is expressed as $K = \\frac{[C]^c[D]^d}{[A]^a[B]^b}$, where the square brackets denote the molar concentrations at equilibrium\n -

Transition Metals and Coordination Chemistry","intro":"Transition metals, with their partially filled d orbitals, form coordination compounds by bonding with ligands. These compounds exhibit unique properties like variable oxidation states, vibrant colors, and paramagnetism, making them crucial in catalysis, pigments, and biological systems.\n\nCrystal field theory explains the bonding and properties of coordination compounds based on d orbital splitting. This splitting leads to characteristic colors and magnetic properties, influencing their applications in various fields from industrial catalysts to medical treatments.","overview":"## Key Concepts\n- Transition metals are elements in the d-block of the periodic table that have partially filled d orbitals in their neutral or ionic states\n- Coordination compounds consist of a central metal atom or ion bonded to surrounding molecules or ions called ligands\n- Ligands donate electron pairs to the central metal atom to form coordinate covalent bonds\n- Crystal field theory explains the bonding, structure, and properties of coordination compounds based on the splitting of d orbitals\n- The splitting of d orbitals in coordination compounds leads to the absorption of specific wavelengths of light, resulting in the characteristic colors of transition metal complexes\n- Transition metals and their coordination compounds have important applications in various fields (catalysis, pigments, and biological systems)\n\n## Transition Metal Properties\n- Transition metals exhibit a wide range of oxidation states due to their ability to lose electrons from both the s and d subshells\n- They form stable coordination compounds with ligands, resulting in complex geometries (octahedral, tetrahedral, and square planar)\n- Transition metals often display paramagnetism, meaning they are attracted to magnetic fields due to the presence of unpaired electrons\n- Many transition metals and their compounds are colored due to d-d electronic transitions\n - The specific color depends on the energy gap between the split d orbitals\n- Transition metals have high melting and boiling points compared to main group elements due to their strong metallic bonding\n- They exhibit good electrical and thermal conductivity, making them useful in various industrial applications (wiring and heat exchangers)\n- Transition metals are generally hard and dense, with high tensile strength and ductility\n\n## Electron Configuration\n- The electron configuration of transition metals involves the filling of the d subshell after the s subshell of the valence shell\n- The general electron configuration for transition metals is $[Noble Gas] (n-1)d^x ns^2$, where n is the principal quantum number and x is the number of electrons in the d subshell\n - For example, the electron configuration of iron (Fe) is $[Ar] 3d^6 4s^2$\n- Exceptions to the general electron configuration occur when the d subshell is half-filled or completely filled, as these configurations are more stable\n - For example, chromium (Cr) has the electron configuration $[Ar] 3d^5 4s^1$ instead of $[Ar] 3d^4 4s^2$\n- The partially filled d subshell contributes to the unique properties of transition metals, such as variable oxidation states and the formation of coordination compounds\n\n## Coordination Compounds\n- Coordination compounds are composed of a central metal atom or ion surrounded by ligands\n- The central metal atom or ion is typically a transition metal, but can also be a main group element or a lanthanide/actinide\n- Ligands are molecules or ions that donate electron pairs to the central metal atom, forming coordinate covalent bonds\n- The number of ligands bonded to the central metal atom is called the coordination number, which typically ranges from 2 to 9\n - Common coordination numbers include 4 (tetrahedral and square planar) and 6 (octahedral)\n- The geometry of a coordination compound depends on the coordination number and the nature of the ligands\n- Coordination compounds can be neutral or charged, depending on the charges of the central metal ion and the ligands\n - For example, $[Co(NH_3)_6]Cl_3$ is a cationic complex with a +3 charge on the cobalt ion and three chloride counterions\n\n## Ligands and Bonding\n- Ligands are classified as monodentate (one donor atom), bidentate (two donor atoms), or polydentate (multiple donor atoms) based on the number of atoms that bond to the central metal\n- Common monodentate ligands include water ($H_2O$), ammonia ($NH_3$), and halides ($Cl^-$, $Br^-$, $I^-$)\n- Bidentate ligands, such as ethylenediamine ($H_2NCH_2CH_2NH_2$) and acetylacetonate ($CH_3COCHCOCH_3^-$), form chelate rings with the central metal atom\n - Chelate rings enhance the stability of coordination compounds due to the chelate effect\n- Polydentate ligands, like EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid), can form multiple chelate rings and lead to very stable complexes\n- The bonding in coordination compounds involves a combination of electrostatic interactions and covalent bonding between the ligands and the central metal atom\n - The coordinate covalent bond is formed by the donation of an electron pair from the ligand to the metal, creating a shared electron pair\n\n## Crystal Field Theory\n- Crystal field theory (CFT) describes the bonding, structure, and properties of coordination compounds based on the splitting of d orbitals\n- In a coordination compound, the ligands create an electrostatic field that interacts with the d orbitals of the central metal atom\n- The d orbitals split into two energy levels: the lower energy $t_{2g}$ orbitals ($d_{xy}$, $d_{xz}$, $d_{yz}$) and the higher energy $e_g$ orbitals ($d_{z^2}$, $d_{x^2-y^2}$)\n - The energy difference between the $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ orbitals is denoted as $\\Delta_o$ (octahedral crystal field splitting energy)\n- The magnitude of the crystal field splitting depends on the nature of the ligands and the central metal atom\n - Strong-field ligands (CN-, CO) cause a larger splitting, while weak-field ligands (I-, Br-) result in a smaller splitting\n- The electron configuration of the central metal atom in a coordination compound is determined by the relative energies of the $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ orbitals and the pairing energy\n - High-spin complexes have a smaller $\\Delta_o$ and electrons occupy both $t_{2g}$ and $e_g$ orbitals before pairing\n - Low-spin complexes have a larger $\\Delta_o$ and electrons pair in the $t_{2g}$ orbitals before occupying the $e_g$ orbitals\n\n## Colors and Magnetism\n- The colors of transition metal coordination compounds arise from d-d electronic transitions between the split d orbitals\n- When light is absorbed, an electron is promoted from a lower energy d orbital to a higher energy d orbital\n - The wavelength of light absorbed corresponds to the energy difference between the two orbitals\n- The complementary color to the absorbed wavelength is observed as the color of the complex\n - For example, a complex that absorbs orange light will appear blue\n- The intensity of the color depends on the probability of the electronic transition, which is governed by selection rules\n- The magnetic properties of coordination compounds are determined by the number of unpaired electrons in the d orbitals\n - High-spin complexes have more unpaired electrons and are paramagnetic, while low-spin complexes have fewer unpaired electrons and may be diamagnetic\n- The magnetic moment of a coordination compound can be measured experimentally and compared to the predicted values based on the spin-only formula\n - $\\mu = \\sqrt{n(n+2)}$ $\\mu_B$, where n is the number of unpaired electrons and $\\mu_B$ is the Bohr magneton\n\n## Applications and Real-World Examples\n- Transition metal coordination compounds have numerous applications in various fields, including catalysis, pigments, and biological systems\n- In catalysis, coordination compounds are used as homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts for industrial processes (Wilkinson's catalyst for hydrogenation)\n- Pigments based on transition metal coordination compounds are used in paints, inks, and plastics (cobalt blue, chromium oxide green)\n- Biological systems employ coordination compounds for essential functions, such as oxygen transport (hemoglobin) and photosynthesis (chlorophyll)\n- Transition metal complexes are used in medicine for diagnostic imaging (contrast agents) and therapy (cisplatin for cancer treatment)\n- Coordination compounds are also used in analytical chemistry for the detection and quantification of metal ions (complexometric titrations with EDTA)\n- Transition metal complexes are employed in the fabrication of advanced materials, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells (ruthenium-based dye-sensitized solar cells)\n- The study of transition metal coordination compounds has led to the development of new technologies and materials, such as superconductors and molecular magnets","active":true,"order":19,"meta":{"title":"Transition Metals & Coordination Compounds | Intro to Chemistry Class Notes","description":"Study guides to review Transition Metals & Coordination Compounds.
