ENERGY is the capacity to do work or transfer heat.
HEAT is the form of energy that flows between 2 objects because of their difference in temperature.
Other forms of energy —• light• electrical• kinetic and potential

The Concept of Equilibrium
Chemical equilibrium occurs when a reaction and its reverse reaction proceed at the same rate.
11
The Concept of Equilibrium
• As a system approaches equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are occurring.
• At equilibrium, the forward and reverse reactions are proceeding at the same rate.
12
A System at Equilibrium
Once equilibrium is achieved, the amount of each reactant and product remains constant.
13
A System at EquilibriumRates become equal Concentrations become constant
14
Depicting Equilibrium
In a system at equilibrium, both the forward and reverse reactions are running simultaneously. We write the chemical equation with a double arrow:
15
What Does the Value of K Mean?
• If K >> 1, the reaction is product-favored; product predominates at equilibrium.
• If K << 1, the reaction is reactant-favored; reactant predominates at equilibrium.
16
The Reaction Quotient (Q)
• To calculate Q, one substitutes the initial concentrations on reactants and products into the equilibrium expression.
• Q gives the same ratio the equilibrium expression gives, but for a system that is not at equilibrium.
17If Q = K,
the system is at equilibrium.
18If Q > K,there is too much product and the
equilibrium shifts to the left.
19If Q < K,there is too much reactant, and the
equilibrium shifts to the right.
20
Le Châtelier’s Principle“If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by a change in temperature, pressure, or the concentration of one of the components, the system will shift its equilibrium position so as to counteract the effect of the disturbance.”
Systems shift from “Q” towards “K”.Stresses include:
temperature, pressure, volume, or concentration of a system will result in predictable and opposing changes in the
system in order to achieve a new equilibrium state.
21
Equilibrium and
Le Chatelier’s Principle
22Chemical Equilibrium
Reversible Reactions:
A chemical reaction in which the productscan react to re-form the reactants
Chemical Equilibrium:
When the rate of the forward reaction equals the rate of the reverse reaction and the concentration of products and reactants remains unchanged
2HgO(s) 2Hg(l) + O2(g)
Arrows going both directions ( ) indicates equilibrium in a chemical equation
23LeChatelier’s Principle
When a system atequilibrium is placed
understress, the system willundergo a change in sucha way as to relieve thatstress.
Henry Le Chatelier
24
When you take something away from a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in such a way as to replace what you’ve taken away.
Le Chatelier Translated:
When you add something to a system at equilibrium, the system shifts in such a way as to use up what you’ve added.

unaltered.

Review of Exothermic
► Reactants Ep is higher than Products Ep.
► Now, we must consider the activation energy (the energy needed so that the reactants bonds will break and reform to make product)
Review of Endothermic
► Reactants Ep is lower than Products Ep.
► Need to add more energy to the system for the forward reaction to take place.
► Still need to consider activation energy
Activated Complex
►Is the short-lived, unstable structure formed during a successful collision between reactant particles.
►Old bonds of the reactants are in the process of breaking, and new products are forming
►Ea is the minimum energy required for the activation complex to form and for a successful reaction to occur.
Activated Complex
►Is the short-lived, unstable structure formed during a successful collision between reactant particles.
►Old bonds of the reactants are in the process of breaking, and new products are forming
►Ea is the minimum energy required for the activation complex to form and for a successful reaction to occur.
Fast and slow reactions
►The smaller the activation energy, the faster the reaction will occur regardless if exothermic or endothermic.
►If there is a large activation energy needed, that means that more energy (and therefore, time) is being used up for the successful collisions to take place.
Practice:
1. The following hypothetical reaction has an Ea of 120kJ and a ΔH of 80kJ
2a + B 2C + D Draw and label a potential energy diagram for this
reaction. What type of reaction is this? Calculate the activation energy for the reverse reaction. Calculate the ΔH for the reverse reaction.
2. Analyze the activation energy diagram below.
► What is the Ea for the forward reaction? For the reverse reaction?
► What is the ΔH for the forward reaction? For the reverse reaction?
► What is the energy of the activated complex?
Answer to #2► The activation energy (Ea) for the forward reaction is shown by (a):
Ea (forward) = H (activated complex) - H (reactants) = 400 - 100 = 300 kJ mol-1
The activation energy (Ea) for the reverse reaction is shown by (b):
Ea (reverse) = H (activated complex) - H (products) = 400 - 300 = 100 kJ mol-1
The enthalpy change for the reaction is shown by (c):
H = H (products) - H (reactants) = 300 - 100 = +200 kJ mol-1 for the forward and reverse reaction.
Concentration of Solutions► Molarity: number of moles of solute in one liter of
solution Symbol is “M” If you have 1 mole of NaOH (40g) dissolved in
enough solvent (water) to make 1 liter, you will have 1 M NaOH or one molar NaOH
Molarity (M) = amount of solute (moles) volume of solution (L)
► Molality: number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent Symbol is “m” If you have one-half a mole of NaOH (20g)
dissolved in 1 Kg of water gives 0.5 m NaOH or one-half molal of NaOH
Molality (m) = moles solute mass of solvent (Kg)

Electrolyte: A solution or substance in solution consisting of various chemicals that can carry electric charges.
► Strong Electrolyte: Solutions conduct electricity well. Ionizes completely: contains many ions

substance has dissociated or ionized. Equilibrium!!

Acids and Bases► Arrhenius Acid: produces H+ ions, in aqueous
solution H+ and H3O+ are the same thing, H can’t really lose its
only e- HCl(g) + H2O(l) H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)
► Arrhenius Base: produces OH- ions, in aqueous solution referred to as alkaline KOH(s) + H2O(l) K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
► B.L. Acid: molecule or ion that is a proton donor a proton is H+ HCl + NH3 NH4
+ + Cl-
► B.L. Base: molecule or ion that is a proton acceptor H2O + NH3 NH4
+ + OH-
Strength of Acids and Bases► Acids and Bases are considered strong if they
completely ionize to form strong electrolytes► Strong Acids: HCl, HNO3, H2SO4, HBr, HI, HClO4
they easily lose their hydrogen ion► Weak Acids: HF, HC2H3O2 (CH3COOH)
They want to keep their hydrogen until someone wants it more than them
► Strong Bases: those that are made up of hydroxide and group 1 or 2 metal.
► Weak Bases: substances that do not contain hydroxide, but rather generate hydroxide ions when reacting with water
►Strong acids and bases can be present in low concentrations
►To measure concentration of a solution of an acid we use Molarity, looking at the amount of H+ in a given volume.
►To measure strength of an acid we use pH, which measures the amount of H+ ions.
► pH of 4 could be a low concentration of a strong acid or a high concentration of a weak acid.
► Acid-base indicators are compounds whose colors are sensitive to pH. (like phenolphthalein)
► Indicators colors change in the presence of and acid or base depending on the indicator
► Some indicators change color at low pH and some at high pH
► Neutralization occurs when [H+] = [OH-]
Indicators
pH and pOHA neutral solution has a pH of 7. pH scale : ranges from 0 to 14, where 7 is
neutral. The lower the number, the more acidic (0 - 6) The higher the number, the more basic (8-14)
pH: the measure of aciditypOH: the measure of alkalinity or
how basic it ispH + pOH = 14pH = -log[H3O+]pOH = -log[OH-]In neutral solution [H3O+] = 1.0 x 10-7 In neutral solution [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7

Periodic Atomic Properties of the Elements
Periodic law states that certain sets of physical and chemical properties recur at regular intervals when the elements are arranged according to increasing atomic number
EOS
•Consider atomic radii: distance between the nuclei of two atoms
• The distance between the nucleus and the outer edge of the electron cloud
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
53
Ionic Radii
EOS
•The ionic radius of each ion is the portion of the distance between the nuclei occupied by that ion•If the size of an atom is determined by the outermost electrons, what happens if you remove or add an electron?
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
54
Definitions► Ionization energy is the energy
required to remove an electron from a ground state atom in the gaseous state• to remove an electron, energy must be supplied to
overcome the attraction of the nuclear charge (endothermic, always +)
► Electron affinity is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom How much an atom ‘likes’ Electrons (+ or -)
►the more negative it is the higher the EA
►Electronegativity is the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract atoms to itself.
Take note: these refer to atoms Electronegativity refers to molecules
55
Zeff & Shielding
The order in which electrons are assigned to subshells in an atom, as well as other properties are because of effective nuclear charge (Zeff)
Shielding: electrons closer to the nucleus screen or shield the effect of nuclear charge on valence electrons
►the number of shielding electrons increases when you reach the end of the period and go on to the next period.
►Shielding increases in steps as you start a new period or go down a group
►Video
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
56
Atomic Radii
► Atomic Radii decrease as atomic numbers increase in an given period (going across). A proton and electron are added so the
effective nuclear charge increases because each proton has more of an effect than each additional electron
► As that attraction between the nucleus and electrons increases, and the atomic radius decreases
► Atomic Radii increase going down In going from top to bottom of a group, the
valence electrons are assigned to orbitals with increasingly higher values of n (prin. Quantum number)
► The underlying electrons requires some space, so the electrons of the outer shell must be further (Your are adding energy levels)
57
Atomic Radii
►Zeff effective nuclear charge: the nuclear charge experienced by a particular electron in a multi-electron atom
Adding protons Increases the attraction of the nucleus and pulls the
electron cloud closer to the nucleus resulting in a smaller atomic radius (coulomb’s Law the force between two charged particles is related to the product of their charges and the distance between them.)
►Atomic radii of transition metals trend a little differently►Exceptions in atomic radii also exist in the lanthanide and actinide series because of how the f subshells are uniquely filled by electrons
58
Transition Metal Atomic Trends
► From left to right across a period, the radii initially decrease, then size remains almost the same, then slightly increases toward the end.
► The small increase in atomic radii is because of the d subshell is filled with electrons and thus the ele-eletron repulsions cause the size to increase
59
Atomic Radii Properties
► The increased number of energy levels (n) increases the distance over which the nucleus must pull and therefore reduces the attraction for electrons
► Full energy levels provide shielding between the nucleus and valence electrons, so you see an increase in shielding as the level gets full EOS
Illustration
60
Ionic RadiiCations are smaller than the atoms from which they are formed
– the nucleus attracts the remaining electrons more strongly
EOS
Anions are larger than the atoms from which they are formed
– the greater number of electrons repel more stronglyThink of the proton/electron ratio, -as electrons are lost, the ratio of p+/e- increases and so the electrons are held closer vv.

Ionization Energy
Ionization energy is the energy required to remove an electron from a ground state atom in the gaseous state
• to remove an electron, energy must be supplied to overcome the attraction of the nuclear charge (endothermic, always +)Continual removal of electrons increases
ionization energy greatlyIt gets harder with each electron removedBecause the nucleus has a stronger pull

64
Ionization energy►First ionization energy- energy is increased
with each successive removal because the electron is being removed from an increasingly positive ion The remaining electrons are held more tightly Notice the large jump at the 3rd level for Mg. There is a large increase as you remove electrons
from lower (inner) energy subshells

Ionization energy
►Ionization energy increases as atomic number increases in any given period Zeff increases the attraction of the nucleus and holds
the electrons more tightly►Exceptions: group II to III, IE drops because the p electrons
do not penetrate the nuclear region as well as s electrons so aren’t as tightly held
►Drop in IE also occurs between V & VI because of increased repulsion created by the first pairing of electrons, that is stronger than the increase in Zeff, lowering the energy required to remove the electron
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
67
Ionization energy
►Ionization energy decreases as atomic number increases down a column or group The increased number of energy levels (n) increases the
distance over which the nucleus must pull, reducing the attraction for electrons
A full energy level provides some shielding between the nucleus and valence electrons
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
68
Electron Affinity
Electron affinity is the energy change that occurs when an electron is added to a gaseous atom-How much an atom ‘likes’Electrons (+ or -)-the more negative it is the higher the EA
(energy is flowing out of the system)
EOS
Electron affinities are expressed as negative because the process is exothermic

69
Electronegativity
►A measure of the attraction of an atom for the pair of outer shell electrons in a covalent bond with another atom Pattern is same as electron affinity for same reasons Both are attraction nucleus has for electrons, one in
forming an ion (EA) and one in forming a molecule (EN) Fluorine is the most electronegative. The closer it is to
fluorine, the more electronegative it is.

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Metals have a small number of electrons in their valence shells and tend to form positive ions
Except for hydrogen and helium, all s-block elements are metals

Metals, Nonmetals, and Metalloids
Atoms of a nonmetal generally have larger numbers of electrons in their valence shell than do metals, and many tend to form negative ions
Nonmetals are all p-block elements and include hydrogen and helium
EOS
Metalloids have properties of both metals and nonmetals
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
72
Metals
►Metals react by losing electrons A loosely held electron will result in a more reactive metal This is tied directly to ionization energy With an increased # of energy levels (n), comes increased
distance from the nuclear attraction and thus a more loosely held electron available for reactions
Chapter 8: Electron Configurations, Atomic Properties and the Periodic Table
73
Non-metals
►Non-metals tend to gain electrons, a strong nuclear attraction will result in a more reactive non-metal
►This means that an atom with the highest Zeff and the least number of energy levels should be the most reactive nonmetal (F) because its nucleus exerts the strong pull
