UCSB CHEM 6AL Final Review Questions
With Correct Answers


Intermolecular Forces and how they affect physical | | | | | |



|properties/purification techniques - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-1. Dipole- | | | | |



Dipole: polar covalent molecules such as aldehydes and ketones.
| | | | | | | | |



positive and negative endings. polar molecules must be close together
| | | | | | | | | |



for force to be significant. weaker than ion-dipole forces. strength
| | | | | | | | | |



increases with the polarity of the molecule.
| | | | | |




2. Electrostatic: occurs between charged species, cations, and anions,
| | | | | | | | |



and is responsible for very high MP and BP of ionic compounds and
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



metals
3. Hydrogen Bonding: hydrogen atom in a polar bond (NOF). considered
| | | | | | | | | | |



a dipole-dipole interaction; quite polar
| | | |




4. Ion-dipole: interaction between a charged ion and a polar molecule.
| | | | | | | | | | |



cations are attached to the negative end of the dipole, and anions are
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



attached to the positive end | | | |




5. London Dispersion Forces: only types of forces non-polar covalent
| | | | | | | | | |



molecules can experience. dependent on surface area and polarizability
| | | | | | | | |



of the surface e of the molecule. results from the movement of
| | | | | | | | | | | |



electrons in the molecule, which generate temporary positive and
| | | | | | | | |



negative regions in the molecule.
| | | |

,Finding limiting reagents/percent yields/filling out reagent tables -
| | | | | | | |



CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Limiting reagents: The compound that runs out
| | | | | | | |



first in a reaction. When the reagent runs out, reactions can no longer
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



proceed and another compound is considered in excess. To determine
| | | | | | | | | |



the limiting reagent, convert the mass to moles using the molar mass of
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



the compound. Then use stoichiometric ratios to see which is the
| | | | | | | | | | |



smaller compound in moles. | | | |




Percent Yield: Actual yield/theoretical yield multiplied by 100. If you
| | | | | | | | | |



expect 10g but only get a yield of 8.4g, the the percent yield is 84%. Get
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |



theoretical yield using molar ratio of the limiting reagent.
| | | | | | | |




Melting Point Ranges- How to measure them - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | | | | |



Using a capillary, take a small sample and heat it up using a melting
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |



point range apparatus and observe the solid as it turns into a liquid and
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |



record the given range right before it has fully dissolved.
| | | | | | | | |




Melting Point Ranges- How impurities affect melting point range -
| | | | | | | | | |



CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Solid's have an ordered crystal lattice structure.
| | | | | | | |



Heat makes this structure move enough to the point of liquidation. The
| | | | | | | | | | | |



MP represents the amount of energy needed to make the lattice
| | | | | | | | | | |



structure move. Impurities disrupt the crystal structure, making the
| | | | | | | | |



compound easier to melt. Therefore, the MP lowers and broadens due
| | | | | | | | | | |



to the impurities.
| |




Ideal Liquids/Rault's Law - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Ideal Liquid: a liquid
| | | | | | | | |



that is incompressible (density is constant), irrotational (no turbulence,
| | | | | | | | |

, flow is smooth), and non-viscous (fluid has no internal friction). These
| | | | | | | | | | |



liquids do not exist in nature and obey Rault's law.
| | | | | | | | | |




Rault's law: Total pressure can be found by adding up partial pressure.
| | | | | | | | | | | |



Partial pressure can be found using this law. To find the mole fraction,
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



divide the moles of compound A by the total moles of all compounds in
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |



the solution.
|




Simple vs. Fractional Distillation - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Simple
| | | | | | |



distillation: Used to purify almost already purified compounds, used to
| | | | | | | | | |



separate liquid from solid impurities, and removes volatile solvents from
| | | | | | | | |



|a given solution. There are few cycles. Boiling stones are placed in the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



liquid. Vapor travels up and condenses back down in a different tube.
| | | | | | | | | | | |



This distillation works well when there is a large difference in boiling
| | | | | | | | | | | |



points (60-70 degrees C)| | |




Fractional distillation: Fractionating columns increase theoretical plates
| | | | | | |



(where vaporization/condensation can potentially occur)
| | | |




Comparison: Fractional distillation results in better separation but a
| | | | | | | | |



little bit of liquid doesn't vaporize and total yield decreases due to the
| | | | | | | | | | | | |



need for more cycles during fractionation.
| | | | |




Vapor Pressure/Partial Pressure/Mole Ratios - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-
| | | | | |




Azeotropes - CORRECT ANSWER✔✔-Azeotropes: a mixture of two
| | | | | | | |



liquids that has a constant boiling point and composition throughout
| | | | | | | | | |



distillation. IMF determines differences in boiling points. No longer acts
| | | | | | | | | |
