Hess's Law - correct answer states that enthalpies of reactions are additive (you can add up heats of reaction) because enthalpy is a state function; remember when adding, if you multiply reaction, multiply the enthalpy, and if you revers the reaction, reverse the sign on the enthalpy Breaking a Bond is endothermic or exothermic - correct answer endothermic ΔG = - correct answer ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ΔG° = -R T lnKeq; ΔG = ΔG°+ RT lnQ; R=8.314J/Kmol 1 atm = ____ mmHg = _____ torr - correct answer 1atm = 760mmHg = 760 torr Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) - correct answer 273.15K, 1atm; note: different from standard conditions Boyle's Law - correct answer At a constant temperature, volume is inverse to pressure; P1V1 =P2V2; (combined (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2 ) Charles' Law - correct answer Temperature and volume proportional at constant pressure; V1/T1 = V2/T2; (combined (P1V1)/T1 = (P2V2)/T2 ) Avagadro's Principle - correct answer At constant temperature and pressure, volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas present; N1/V =N2/V2; At a constant temperature and pressure any gas with a given volume will have the same number of moles as another gas at that volume Ideal Gas Law - correct answer PV=nRT (R= 8.314 J/molK) How do you use the ideal gas law to calculate density? - correct answer replace n with n=(mass in grams)/(Molar Mass); PV=(m/MM)RT; therefore d=m/v=P(MM)/RT At moderately high pressures, a gases' volume is ____ than the ideal gas law would predict because... - correct answer less because of intermolecular interactions
