Main lesson
A second-order reaction
Use this for “A second-order reaction has k = 0.500 M⁻¹s⁻¹. Starting at 0.100 M, find the concentration after 60 s and the first half-life.”
A zero-order reaction
Use this for “A zero-order reaction has k = 2.00 × 10⁻³ M/s. Starting at 0.500 M, find the concentration after 100 s, the half-life and when A runs out.”
Order and rate constant from initial rates
Use this for “With [B] held at 0.100 M, raising [A] from 0.100 M to 0.200 M raises the initial rate from 2.00 × 10⁻³ to 8.00 × 10⁻³ M/s. The reaction is first order in B. Find the order in A and k.”
Activation energy from two temperatures
Use this for “A rate constant doubles, from 1.00 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ at 25 °C to 2.00 × 10⁻³ s⁻¹ at 35 °C. Find the activation energy and the frequency factor A.”
Rate law from a mechanism
Use this for “The slow step is NO₂ + NO₂ → NO₃ + NO, then NO₃ + CO → NO₂ + CO₂ is fast. What rate law fits?”
Equilibrium
Main lesson
Kp from Kc
Use this for “Kc = 0.50 for N₂ + 3H₂ ⇌ 2NH₃ at 400 K. Find Kp.”
K of a reversed, scaled or added reaction
Use this for “K = 2.5 × 10⁻³ for A ⇌ 2B. What is K for 2B ⇌ A, and for ½A ⇌ B?”
Solubility with a common ion
Use this for “Ksp = 5.4 × 10⁻¹³ for AgBr. Find its molar solubility in 0.020 M NaBr and in pure water.”
Acid–base equilibria and buffers
Main lesson
pH of a weak base
Use this for “Find the pOH and pH of 0.250 M methylamine, CH₃NH₂ (Kb = 4.4 × 10⁻⁴).”
Buffer pH
Use this for “A buffer holds 0.200 mol HF and 0.250 mol F⁻ (pKₐ = 3.17). Find its pH, then its pH after adding 0.020 mol NaOH.”
pH of a salt solution
Use this for “Find the pH of 0.250 M sodium fluoride, NaF. Kₐ of HF is 6.8 × 10⁻⁴.”
pH at the equivalence point
Use this for “20.00 mL of 0.120 M formic acid (Kₐ = 1.8 × 10⁻⁴) is titrated with 0.150 M NaOH. Find the pH at the equivalence point.”
Entropy and Gibbs free energy
Main lesson
Free energy change at a reaction quotient
Use this for “A reaction has ΔG° = −12.5 kJ/mol at 310 K. Find ΔG when Q = 25, and say which way the reaction runs.”
Entropy of vaporization
Use this for “Ethanol boils at 351.5 K, and its heat of vaporization is 38.6 kJ/mol. Find its entropy of vaporization.”
Entropy of the universe (second law)
Use this for “For a reaction, ΔH = −92.2 kJ/mol and ΔS = −199 J/(mol·K). Find ΔS of the surroundings and of the universe at 500 K. Is the reaction spontaneous?”
Electrochemistry
Main lesson
Free energy and K from a cell potential
Use this for “A cell has E° = 0.462 V and moves 2 electrons. Find ΔG° and K at 25 °C.”
Electrolysis: mass plated by a current
Use this for “A current of 2.50 A runs for 45 min through copper(II) sulfate. What mass of copper plates onto the cathode?”, or the time or current a mass needs.
Voltage of a concentration cell
Use this for “One silver electrode sits in 0.0050 M Ag⁺ and another in 0.80 M Ag⁺, joined by a salt bridge. Find the cell’s voltage at 25 °C.”
Solutions and colligative properties
