Chem 1062 Spring 2013

Exam 1 Study Guide

Exam 1 will cover material from Chapters 20, 11, and 12 in the textbook reading assignments, in-class
notes, and laboratory experiments. You will need to bring a few #2 pencils and a scientific calculator

The exam will be mostly multiple choice (20-25 questions), but will also contain short answer (names
and structures), and show-your-work problems.

A periodic table will be provided for you in the exam. You may not use your own. Equations from the
first and second columns on the front cover of your notes packet will be provided on the inside front
cover of the exam.

Use the following list of topics to guide and focus your studying, understanding that it is not exhaustive.

Chapter 20

Definition of organic chemistry and organic compounds

Geometry of carbon
Structure and IUPAC naming of alkanes, alkenes (including cis- and trans-), alkynes, and aromatic
compounds
Functional group identification, structure, and IUPAC naming of alcohols, aldehydes, ketones,
carboxylic acids, esters, ethers, and amines
Oxidation and reduction reactions of alcohols
Common names of formaldehyde, acetone, formic acid, acetic acid, etc.
Condensation reaction of carboxylic acid and alcohol to produce an ester and water

Chapter 11

Properties of solids, liquids, gases (density, shape, volume) and molecular explanations for those
properties
Differences between bonding forces and intermolecular forces (IMFs)
Types of IMFs: dispersion, dipole-dipole, H-bonding, and ion-dipole forces know how their
strengths compare or can be estimated, and in which substances they occur
Rank substances by their boiling points, surface tension, viscosity, volatility, vapor pressure, or
enthalpy of vaporization
Factors that influence the rate of vaporization
Energetics of vaporization is it endothermic or exothermic? What determines which molecules
in a substance can vaporize? Calculate the heat required to vaporize or melt a sample with a
given enthalpy of vaporization (Hvap) or enthalpy of fusion Hfus
Vapor pressure concept what does it mean that it's a dynamic equilibrium? When the
equilibrium is disturbed by a change in volume or pressure, how does the system respond?
Effect of temperature on vapor pressure (and molecular explanation)
Explanation of normal boiling point involving vapor pressure and temperature
 Use the two-point Clausius-Clapeyron equation (given) to solve a math problem (solve for a
pressure, temperature, or Hvap
Compare fusion with vaporization. Which requires IMFs to be fully overcome?
Heating curve of water combine Hfux and Hvap for a phase change with the calorimetry
equation (given) for heating a pure phase
Interpret an unlabeled phase diagram. Where are the normal phase changes? What's the
significance of the triple and critical point? What effect would a change in pressure have?
Cubic unit cells: know the number of atoms per unit cell for each and be able to identify a
structure shown. You will be given the equations relating edge length with atomic radius.
Unit cell calculations: calculate anywhere along the string of possible unit cell calculations with
appropriate given values.
Relationship of cubic closest packed with face-centered cubic
Identify a crystalline solid by type. Compare their relative melting points as a function of the
strength of forces that hold them together.

Chapter 12

Definitions of solution, solute, solvent, solubility

Definitions of saturated, unsaturated, and supersaturated. With given solubility data, calculate
the status of a particular solution.
Relative solubility by comparing the strength of solute and solvent IMFs
Energetics of mixing know the signs H for each step of solution formation
Interpret a given solubility curve
Temperature effect on gas solubility
Pressure effect on gas solubility molecular explanation and calculation using Henry's law
Units of solution concentration definitions of molarity, molality, parts by mass or volume, mole
fraction. Equations are given. Convert from one concentration unit to another.
Effect of nonvolatile and volatile solutes on vapor pressure molecular explanation and
calculation using Raoult's law, being careful to adjust mole fraction if the solute is ionic
Colligative properties: freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, and osmotic pressure.
Definition of colligative property. Calculations involving colligative properties.
i value for ionic solutes. Use an ideal i value when calculating a colligative property. Calculate
the actual non-ideal value of i when given an experimental colligative property value.
Definitions and molecular explanations of colloids, micelles, and the Tyndall effect
