I. Spontaneous Processes and Entropy.

A. A spontaneous process occurs without outside intervention; it may either be fast or slow.

1. Examples:

a) A ball rolls down a hill but never spontaneously rolls back

up the hill.

b) If exposed to air and moisture, steel rusts

spontaneously but the reverse process does not naturally

occur.

c) A gas fills a container uniformly. It never spontaneously

collects at one end of the container.

d) Heat always flows from a hot object to a cold one. The

reverse process never occurs spontaneously.

e) Wood burns exothermically to form carbon dioxide and

water, but wood is not formed when the two compounds

are heated together.

f) At temperatures below 0 C, water freezes. At

temperatures above 0 C, water melts.

2. Originally, chemists thought spontaneity was reflective of

exothermic reactions only.

3. Scientists have since concluded that the common

characteristic of all spontaneous reactions is an increase in

entropy.

a) Entropy (S) is said to be a measure of randomness or

disorder of a system.

* No accurate, simplistic definition exists.

b) Entropy describes the number of possible arrangements

that are available to a system existing in a given state.

c) In nature, processes spontaneously proceed toward the

states that have the highest existing probabilities of

existing.

d) Ssolid < Sliquid 1, then the entropy of the universe

increases and the process is spontaneous in the direction

written.

b. If ΔSuniv < 1, then the entropy of the universe

decreases and the process is spontaneous in the opposite

direction.

c. If ΔSuniv = 0, then the process has no tendency to

occur and the system is at equilibrium.

d. In a living cell, large molecules are assembled from

smaller ones. Is this process consistent with the second

law?

III. The Effect of Temperature on Spontaneity.

A. Consider the following:

H2O(l) ------> H2O(g)

Water is the system, everything else is the surroundings.

1. For liquid water to vaporize, heat must be added

(endothermic). Explain in terms of entropy.

2. Explain condensation in terms of entropy.

B. Conclusions.

1. Entropy changes in the surroundings are determined by heat

flow and determines the sign.

a. Endothermic:

b. Exothermic:

2. The magnitude of ΔSsurr depends on the temperature.

a. Endothermic:

b. Exothermic:

3. The impact of the transfer of a given quantity of energy as

heat to and from the surroundings will be greater at lower

temperatures.

* Example:

4. ΔSsurr = _ ΔHsys

T

5. Determining ΔSsurr.

* In the metallurgy of antimony, the pure metal is

recovered via different reactions, depending on the

composition of the ore. For example, iron is used to

reduce antimony in the sulfide ores:

Sb2S3(s) + 3Fe(s) ----> 2Sb(s) + 3FeS(s) ΔH = -125 kJ

Carbon is used as the reducing agent for oxide ores:

Sb4O6(s) + 6C(s) ----> 4Sb(s) + 6CO(g) ΔH = 778 kJ

Calculate ΔSsurr for each of these at 25 C and 1 atm.

C. Summary.

1. For an exothermic process, ΔSsurr ’ positive.

2. For an endothermic process, ΔSsurr ’ negative.

IV. Free Energy.

A. Free energy (G) is a function that combines the system’s enthalpy and entropy.

G = H - TS

B. The free energy change (ΔG) is a measure of the spontaneity of a process and of the useful energy available from it.

ΔG = ΔH - TΔS

1. All of these quantities reflect the system (anytime in this

chapter that a subscript is not noted, it is understood to be

from the system’s perspective).

2. How does the equation relate to spontaneity?

- ΔG = - ΔH + ΔS and ΔSsurr = - ΔH

T T T

therefore

- ΔG = - ΔH + ΔS = ΔSsurr + ΔS = ΔSuniv

T T

3. Conclusion: A process (at constant T and P) is spontaneous

in the direction in which the free energy decreases (-ΔG

means + ΔSuniv).

4. Two functions predict spontaneity.

a. The entropy of the universe (applies to all processes).

b. Free energy (at constant T and P).

* More useful to chemists.

5.

[pic]

6. Free Energy and Spontaneity.

* At what temperature is the following process

spontaneous at 1 atm?

Br2(l) -----> Br2(g)

ΔHo = 31.0 kJ/mol and ΔSo = 93.0 J/K*mol

What is the normal boiling point of liquid Br2?

V. Entropy Changes in Chemical Reactions.

A. Standard Molar Entropies, So.

1. In thermodynamics it is the change in a certain function that

is usually important.

* Absolute values for H and G cannot be determined.

2. The third law of thermodynamics states that at 0 K, the

entropy of a pure crystal is equal to 0.

* Because this provides a starting point to compare all

other entropies, an absolute entropy scale has meaning.

3. Standard molar entropy, So, is the entropy of one mole of a

substance in its standard state, which occurs when a

substance is heated from 0 K to 298 K at 1 atm of pressure.

B. Predicting Relative So Values of the System.

1. Temperature changes.

* For a given substance, So increases as the temperature

rises.

2. Physical states and phase changes.

* For a given substance, So increases as the substance

changes from a solid to a liquid to a gas (the change from

a liquid to a gas is greater than from a solid to a liquid).

3. Dissolution of a solid or a liquid.

a. The entropy of a dissolved solid or liquid solute is

greater than the entropy of the pure solute.

b. The type of solute and solvent and the nature of the

solution process affects the overall entropy change.

4. Dissolution of a gas.

* A gas always becomes more ordered when dissolved in a

liquid and gas.

5. Complexity of the element or compound.

a. In general, difference in entropy values for substances

in the same phase are based on atomic size and molecular

complexity.

b. For elements within a periodic group, those with higher

molar masses have higher entropy.

c. For compounds, the chemical complexity increases as

the number of atoms (ions) in a compound increases, and

so does the entropy.

d. For larger molecule, entropy increases with chain length.

6. Predicting the Sign of ΔSo.

* Predict the sign of ΔSo for each of the following

reactions.

a) The thermal decomposition of solid calcium carbonate:

CaCO3(s) -----> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

b) The oxidation of SO2 in air:

2SO2(g) + O2(g) -----> 2SO3(g)

7. Predicting Relative Entropy Values.

* Choose the member with the higher entropy in each of

the following pairs, and justify your choice.

a) 1 mol SO2(g) or 1 mol SO3(g)

b) 1 mol CO2(s) or 1 mol CO2(g)

c) 3 mol O2(g) or 2 mol O3(g)

d) 1 mol KBr(s) or 1 mol KBr(aq)

e) Sea water in midwinter at 2 C or in mid summer at 23 C

f) 1 mol HF(g) or 1 mol HI(g)

C. Calculating the Change in Entropy of a Reaction.

1. Because entropy is a state function, the entropy change for

a given reaction can be calculated by taking the difference

between the standard entropy values of products and those

of the reactants.

ΔSoreaction = ΣnpΔSoproducts − ΣnrΔSoreactants

2. Calculating ΔSo.

a. Calculate ΔSo at 25 C for the reaction

2NiS(s) + 3O2(g) -----> 2SO2(g) + 2NiO(s)

Use the standard entropy values found in the appendix.

b. Calculate ΔSo for the reaction of aluminum oxide by

hydrogen gas:

Al2O3(s) + 3H2(g) -----> 2Al(s) + 3H2O(g)

Use the standard entropy values found in the appendix.

VI. Free Energy and Chemical Reactions.

A. Standard Free Energy.

1. Standard free energy (ΔGo) is the change in the free energy

that will occur if the reactants in their standard states are

converted to the products in their standard states.

2. The value of ΔGo tells nothing about the rate of a reaction,

only its eventual equilibrium position.

B. Calculating ΔGo as a State Function.

1. ΔGo ’ ΔHo − TΔSo

* Consider the reaction

2SO2(g) + O2(g) -----> 2SO3(g)

carried out at 25 C and 1 atm. Calculate ΔHo and ΔSo,

then calculate ΔGo. Use the appendix in this book for

standard values.

2. Solving ΔGo Using Hess’s Law.

* Using the following data (at 25 C)

Cdiamond(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) ΔGo = -397 kJ

Cgraphite(s) + O2(g) -----> CO2(g) ΔGo = -394 kJ

Calculate ΔGo for the reaction

Cdiamond(s) -----> Cgraphite(s)

3. Standard Free Energy of Formation (ΔGfo).

ΔGo = ΣnpΔGfoproducts − ΣnrΔGforeactants

* Methanol is a high-octane fuel used in high-performance

racing engines. Calculate ΔGo for the reaction

2CH3OH(g) + 3O2(g) -----> 2CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

given the free energies of formation in this book.

4. Free Energy and Spontaneity.

* A chemical engineer wants to determine the feasibility

of making ethanol (C2H5OH) by reacting water with the

ethylene (C2H4) according to the equation

C2H4(g) + H2O(l) -----> C2H5OH(l)

Is the reaction spontaneous under standard conditions?

VII. The Dependence of Free Energy on Pressure.

A. The equilibrium position represents the lowest free energy value available to a particular reaction.

* Free energy changes throughout the course of a reaction

because it is pressure and concentration dependent.

B. The Effects of Pressure.

1. Consider 1 mole of a gas at a given T.

Slarge volume > Ssmall volume or Slow pressure > Shigh pressure

2. A more detailed argument (beyond this course) states that

ΔG = ΔGo + RTln(P)

where ΔGo is the free energy of a gas at 1 atm, G is the free

energy at pressure P, R is the universal gas constant, and

T is the Kelvin temperature.

3. This leads to the equation

ΔG = ΔGo + RTln(Q)

where Q is the reaction quotient, T is the Kelvin

temperature, R is the universal gas constant 8.314 J/mol K,

ΔGo is the free energy at 1 atm, and ΔG is the free energy at

a specified temperature.

4. Calculating ΔGo.

* One method for synthesizing methanol (CH3OH) involves

reacting carbon monoxide and hydrogen gases:

CO(g) + 2H2(g) -----> CH3OH(l)

Calculate ΔG at 25 C for this reaction where carbon

monoxide gas at 5.0 atm and hydrogen gas at 3.0 atm are

converted to liquid methanol.

C. The Meaning of ΔG for a Chemical Reaction.

1. A system achieves the lowest possible free energy by going

to equilibrium, not by going to completion.

* Spontaneous reactions do not go to completion.

2. Illustration.

VIII. Free Energy and Equilibrium.

* The Equilibrium Point.

1. The equilibrium point occurs at the lowest value of free

energy available to the reaction.

2. Recall the following:

a. If Q < K, then the reaction as written proceeds to the

right (Q/K K, then the reaction as written proceeds to the

left (Q/K > 1).

c. If Q = K, then the reaction as written is at equilibrium,

and there is no net reaction in either direction (Q/K = 1).

3. The sign of ΔG and the magnitude of Q/K are related

mathematically.

a. If Q/K < 1, then ln(Q/K) < 0; the reaction proceeds to

the right (ΔG < 0).

b. If Q/K > 1, then ln(Q/K) > 0; the reaction proceeds to

the left (ΔG > 0).

c. If Q/K = 1, then ln(Q/K) = 0; the reaction is at

equilibrium (ΔG = 0).

4. Conclusions.

a. For nonstandard conditions NOT at equilibrium,

ΔG = ΔGo + RTln(Q)

b. For standard conditions at equilibrium

ΔGo = -RTln(K)

5. Free Energy and Equilibrium I.

* Consider the ammonia synthesis reaction

N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g)

where ΔGo = -33 kJ per mole of N2 consumed at 25 C. For

each of the following mixtures of reactants and products

at 25 C, predict the direction in which the system will

shift to reach equilibrium.

a) PNH3 = 1.00 atm, PN2 = 1.47 atm, PH2 = 1.00 x 10-2 atm

b) PNH3 = 1.00 atm, PN2 = 1.00 atm, PH2 = 1.00 atm

6. Free Energy and Equilibrium II.

* The overall reaction for the corrosion (rusting) of iron

by oxygen is

4Fe(s) + 3O2(g) 2Fe2O3(s)

Using ΔHfo and So values in the appendix, calculate the

equilibrium constant for this reaction at 25 C.

IX. Free Energy and Work.

A. For a spontaneous reaction, ΔG is the maximum work obtainable from the system.

wmax = ΔG

B. For a nonspontaneous process, ΔG is the minimum work that must be done to the system to make a change happen.

C. For ΔGsys = ΔHsys - TΔSsys, ΔGsys is the portion of the total energy change that does the work.

* TΔSsys is given off as heat and is not usable.

D. In the real world, some free energy is always changed to heat and is thereby unharnessed. Therefore, no process is 100% efficient.

1. A spontaneous reaction will occur and can do work on the

surroundings.

2. A nonspontaneous reaction will not occur unless the

surroundings do work on it.

3. A reaction at equilibrium can no longer do work.

I. Galvanic Cells.

A. The Galvanic Cell.

1. A galvanic cell is a device in which chemical energy is changed to

electrical energy.

2. A galvanic cell uses a spontaneous redox reaction to produce a

current that can be used to do work. The system does work on the

surroundings.

3. A Review of Oxidation and Reduction and the Galvanic Cell.

a. A redox reaction involves the transfer of electrons from the

reducing agent to the oxidating agent.

b. Oxidation.

* Involves a loss of electrons.

* Increase in oxidation number.

* “To get more positive.”

* Occurs at the anode of a galvanic cell.

c. Reduction.

* Involves a gain of electrons.

* Decrease in oxidation number.

* “To get more negative.”

* Occurs at the cathode of a galvanic cell.

d. Identification of Redox Components.

* Specify which of the following equations represents

oxidation-reduction reactions, and indicate the

oxidizing agent, the reducing agent, the species being

oxidized, and the species being reduced.

a) CH4(g) + H2O(g) ----> CO(g) + 3H2(g)

b) 2AgNO3(aq) + Cu(s) ----> Cu(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

c) H+(aq) + 2CrO42-(aq) ----> Cr2O72-(aq) + H2O(l)

e. Half-Reaction Method for Balancing Redox Reactions.

* Acidic Solution.

Cr(s) + NO3-(aq) ----> Cr3+(aq) + NO(g) [acidic]

* Basic Solution.

MnO4-(aq) + I-(aq) ----> MnO42-(aq) + IO3-(aq) [basic]

f. Major Redox Points to Remember.

* Any redox reaction can be treated as the sum of the

reduction and oxidation half-reactions.

* Mass (atoms) and charge are conserved in each half-

reaction.

* Electrons lost in one half-reaction are gained in

the other.

* Even though the half-reactions are treated separately,

electron loss and electron gain occur simultaneously.

4. The Salt Bridge or the Porous Disk.

* These devices allow ion flow to occur (circuit completion)

without mixing the solutions. They are typically made of sodium

sulfate or potassium nitrate.

B. Cell Potential (Ecell)

1. Cell potential (electromotive force, emf) is the driving force in a

galvanic cell that pulls electrons from the reducing agent in one

compartment to the oxidizing agent in the other.

2. The volt (V) is the unit of electrical potential.

3. Electrical charge is measured in coulombs (C).

4. Therefore, a volt is 1 joule of work per coulomb of charge

transferred: 1 V = 1 J/C.

5. A voltmeter is a device which measures cell potential.

II. Standard Reduction Potentials.

A. Standard Cell Potentials.

1. The measured potential of a voltaic cell is affected by changed in

concentration of the reactants as the reaction proceeds and by

energy losses due to heating of the cell and external circuit.

2. In order to compare the output of different cells, the standard

cell potential (Eocell) is obtained at 298 K, 1 atm for gases, 1 M for

solutions, and the pure solid for electrodes.

B. The Standard Hydrogen Electrode.

1. This is considered the reference half-cell electrode, with a potential

equal to 0.00 V.

2. It is obtained when platinum is immersed in 1 M H+(aq), through

which H2(g) is bubbled.

C. The Standard Electrode (Half-Cell) Potential (Ehalf-cell).

1. A standard electrode potential always refers to the half-reaction

written as a reduction.

Oxidized form + ne- -----> reduced form Eohalf-cell

2. Reversing a reaction changes the sign of the potential.

Reduced form + ne- -----> oxidized form -Eohalf-cell

3. Eocell = Eoreduction + Eooxidation

4. As the potential increases in value (more positive), the tendency to

occur increases (spontaneity occurs). Therefore, Eocell must be

positive if the cell is galvanic (voltaic).

5. Spontaneous reactions occur between a substance and those below it.

6. Although some half-reactions must be manipulated with coefficients,

NEVER MULTIPLY THE Eocell BY THE COEFFICIENT!!!

7. Refer to the Reduction Table in the book.

8. Problems.

a. Galvanic Cells.

* Consider a galvanic cell based on the reaction

Al3+(aq) + Mg(s) ----> Al(s) + Mg2+(aq)

Give the balanced cell reaction and calculate Eocell.

* Consider a galvanic cell based on the reaction

MnO4-(aq) + H+(aq) + ClO3-(aq) ----> ClO4-(aq) + Mn2+(aq) + H2O(l)

Give the balanced cell reaction and calculate Eocell.

b. Calculating an Unknown Eohalf-cell from Eocell.

* A voltaic cell based on the reaction between aqueous Br2 and

vanadium (III) ions has Eocell = 1.39 V:

Br2(aq) + 2V3+(aq) + 2H2O(l) ----> 2VO2+(aq) + 4H+(aq) + 2Br-(aq)

What is the standard electrode potential for the reduction of

VO2+ to V3+?

D. Line Notations.

1. This is a short-hand abbreviation for a galvanic cell.

2. Key Parts:

a. The components of the anode compartment are written to the

left of the cathode compartment.

b. Double vertical lines separate the half-cells and represents the

wire and salt bridge.

c. Within each half-cell, a single vertical line represents a phase

boundary. A comma separates half-cell components in the same

phase.

d. Half-cell components appear in the same order as in the half-

reaction, while electrodes appear at the extreme left and right

of the notation.

3. Examples:

E. The Complete Description of a Galvanic Cell.

1. A cell will always run spontaneously in the direction that produces a

positive cell potential.

2. A complete description of a galvanic cell always includes four items:

a. The cell potential (always positive for a galvanic cell) and the

balanced cell reaction.

b. The direction of electron flow, obtained by inspecting the half-

reactions and using the direction that gives a positive Eocell.

c. Designation of the anode and cathode.

d. The nature of each electrode and the ions present in each

compartment. A chemically inert conductor is required if none

of the substances participating in the half-reaction is a

conducting solid.

3. Diagramming Voltaic Cells.

* In one compartment of a voltaic cell, a graphite rod dips into an

acidic solution of K2Cr2O7 and Cr(NO3)3; in the other, a tin bar

dips into a Sn(NO3)2 solution. A KNO3 salt bridge joins the half-

cells. The tin electrode is negative relative to the graphite.

Diagram the cell, show balanced equations, and write the cell

notation.

4. Description of a Galvanic Cell.

* Describe completely the galvanic cell based on the following half-

reactions under standard conditions:

Ag+ + e- -----> Ag Eocell = 0.80 V (1)

Fe3+ + e- -----> Fe2+ Eocell = 0.77 V (2)

In addition, draw the cell and write the line notation.

III. Cell Potential, Electrical Work, and Free Energy.

A. Cell Potential.

1. The work that can be accomplished when electrons are transferred

(emf) is defined in terms of a potential difference (in volts) between

two circuits.

emf = potential difference (V) = work (J) or 1 V = 1 J/C

charge (C)

2. Work is viewed from the point of view of the system.

Therefore, E = -w/q or -w = qE

3. The maximum work is defined as

wmax = -qEmax

* Maximum work is an impossibility. In any real, spontaneous

process some energy is always wasted-the actual work realized

is always less than the calculated maximum.

4. The Faraday (F).

a. The faraday is defined as the charge of 1 mole of electrons.

b. F = 96,485 C/mol e-

5. The purpose of a voltaic cell is to convert the free energy change of

a spontaneous reaction into the KE of e- moving through an external

circuit.

wmax = ΔG

6. For a galvanic cell,

ΔG = -nFEmax or ΔGo = -nFEomax

a. If Ecell > 0, then ΔG < 0 and the process is spontaneous.

b. If Ecell < 0, then ΔG > 0 and the process is nonspontaneous.

c. If Ecell = 0, then ΔG = 0 and the process is at equilibrium.

7. Calculating ΔGo for a Cell Reaction.

* Using the Reduction Table in your book, calculate ΔGo for the

reaction

Cu2+(aq) + Fe(s) ----> Cu(s) + Fe2+(aq)

Is the reaction spontaneous?

8. Predicting Spontaneity.

* Using the Reduction Table in your book, predict whether 1 M

HNO3 will dissolve gold metal to form a 1 M Au3+ solution.

B. The Relationship to the Equilibrium Constant.

1. Two relationships:

ΔGo = -RTlnK ΔGo = -nFEocell

2. Through substitution,

Eocell = RT/nF lnK

3. Calculating K and ΔGo from Eocell.

* When cadmium metal reduces Cu2+ in solution, Cd2+ forms in

addition to copper metal. If ΔGo = -143 kJ, calculate K at 25 C.

What would be Eocell in a voltaic cell that used this reaction?

IV. Dependence of Cell Potential on Concentration.

A. The Effects of Concentration on E.

1. Think Le Chatelier’s Principle!

2. For the cell reaction

2Al(s) + 3Mn2+(aq) ----> 2Al3+(aq) + 3Mn(s) Eocell = 0.48 V

predict whether Ecell is larger or smaller than Eocell for the following

cases.

a) [Al3+] = 2.0 M, [Mn2+] = 1.0 M

b) [Al3+] = 1.0 M, [Mn2+] = 3.0 M

B. The Nernst Equation.

1. The Nernst equation gives the relationship between the cell potential

and the concentrations of cell components.

E = Eo - RT/nF lnQ

at 25 C

E = Eo - 0.0591/n logQ

2. The Effects of Q.

a. When Q < 1 and [reactant] > [product], Ecell > Eocell.

b. When Q = 1 and [reactant] = [product], Ecell = Eocell.

c. When Q > 1 and [reactant] < [product], Ecell < Eocell.

3. A cell in which the concentrations are not in their standard states

will continue to discharge until equilibrium is reached.

* At this point, Q = K and Ecell = 0.

4. At equilibrium, the components in the two cell compartments have

the same free energy, and ΔG = 0. The cell can no longer do work!

5. Problems.

a. Consider a cell based on the reaction

Fe(s) + Cu2+(aq) ----> Fe2+(aq) + Cu (s)

If [Cu2+] = 0.30 M, what [Fe2+] is needed to increase Ecell by

0.25 V above Eocell at 25 C?

b. Describe the cell based on the following half-reactions:

VO2+ + 2H+ + e- -----> VO2+ + H2O Eo = 1.00 V

Zn2+ + 2e- -----> Zn Eo = -0.76 V

where T = 25 C

[VO2+ ] = 2.0 M

[H+ ] = 0.50 M

[VO2+ ] = 0.01 M

[Zn2+ ] = 0.1 M

C. Concentration Cells.

1. Concentration cells are constructed with the exact same

half-reactions, with the exception of a difference in concentrations.

2. Voltages are typically small as electrons are transferred from the

cell of higher concentration to the cell of lower concentration.

3. Eocell = 0.00 because conditions are not standard (not 1 M).

4. Calculating the Potential of a Concentration Cell.

* A concentration cell is built using two Au/Au3+ half-cells. In

half-cell A, [Au3+] = 7.0 x 10-4 M, and in half-cell B, [Au3+] =

2.5 x10-2 M. What is Ecell, and which electrode is negative?

V. Electrolysis.

A. The Electrolytic Cell.

1. An electrolytic cell uses electrical energy to drive a nonspontaneous

process.

2. The process is called electrolysis, which involves forcing a current

through a cell to produce a chemical reaction for which the cell

potential is negative.

3. Everything is the same as a galvanic cell except the signs of the

anode and cathode.

B. The Stoichiometry of Electrolysis.

1. Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis: the amount of a substance produced

at each electrode is directly proportional to the amount of electric

charge flowing through the cell.

2. The SI Unit of current is the ampere (A).

1 ampere = 1 coulomb/second or 1 A = 1 C/s

3. Applying the Relationship Among Current, Time, and Amount of a

Substance.

* Using a current of 4.75 A, how many minutes does it take to plate

1.50 g Cu onto a sculpture from a CuSO4 solution?

I. Pressure.

A. The Barometer.

1. A barometer is a device to measure atmospheric pressure.

2. The barometer was invented in 1643 by a student of Galileo, Italian

scientist Evangelista Torricelli.

3. This barometer is constructed by filling a glass tube with liquid

mercury and inverting it in a dish of mercury.

* Diagram:

4. Atmospheric pressure results from the mass of the air being pulled

toward the center of the earth by gravity.

a. The weather affects the pressure reading.

b. Altitude also affects the pressure.

* At sea level, the height of the column of mercury is 760 mm.

* At the peak of Mt. Everest, the column measures 270 mm Hg.

B. Units of Pressure.

1. The open-ended manometer (barometer).

* Diagrams:

2. Mercury is used to measure pressure because of its high density. By

way of comparison, the column of water required to measure a given

pressure would be 13.5 times as high as a mercury column used for

the same purpose.

3. Common Units of Pressure.

* 1 atmosphere (atm) = 760 mm Hg

760 torr

101,324 Pascals (Pa)

101.325 kPa

29.92 in Hg

14.7 lb/in2

4. Pressure Conversions.

* The pressure of a gas is measured as 49 torr. Represent this

pressure in both atmospheres and pascals.

II. The Gas Laws of Boyle, Charles, and Avogadro.

A. Boyle’s Law.

1. Named after Irish chemist Robert Boyle (1627-1691).

2. Using a closed-ended J-tube, Boyle found that gas volume is inversely

proportional to its pressure.

3. With technology, Boyle’s law holds precisely only at very low

pressures.

4. If a gas obey Boyle’s law exactly, it is said to be “ideal.”

5. Boyle’s Law: PV = k or P1V1 = P2V2.

6. Boyle’s Law I.

* Sulfur dioxide (SO2), a gas that plays a central role in the

formation of acid rain, is found in the exhaust of automobiles and

power plants. Consider a 1.53-L sample of gaseous SO2 at a

pressure of 5.6 x 103 Pa. If the pressure is changed to 1.5 x 104

Pa at a constant temperature, what will be the new volume of the

gas?

7. Boyle’s Law II.

* In a study to see how closely gaseous ammonia obey Boyle’s law,

several volume measurements were made at various pressures,

using 1.0 mol NH3 gas at a temperature of 0 C. Using the results

listed below, calculate the Boyle’s law constant for NH3 at the

various pressures.

B. Charles’s Law.

1. Named in honor of Jacques Charles (1746-1823).

* He was the first person to fill a hot air balloon with hydrogen gas

on the first solo balloon flight.

2. He found that the volume of a gas at constant pressure increases

linearly with the temperature of the gas.

a. The temperature was originally plotted in degrees C.

b. A plot of the gases showed that all volumes extrapolated to the

same temperature, -273.2 C.

* This temperature is also known as 0 Kelvin or absolute zero.

* The Kelvin scale was devised by English physicist William

Thomson, also known as Lord Kelvin, 50 years after Charles’s

conclusions.

3. Charles’s Law: V/T = k or V1/T1 = V2/T2

* Temperature is in Kelvins.

C. Avogadro’s Law.

1. Named in honor of Italian chemist Amadeo Avogadro (1776-1856).

2. He stated that at the same temperature and pressure, equal volumes

of different gases contain the same number of particles.

3. Avogadro’s Law: V/n = k or V1/n1 = V2/n2

4. At 1 atm of pressure and 273 K, 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

5. Avogadro’s Law.

* Suppose we have a 12.2-L sample containing 0.50 mol oxygen gas (O2) at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 25 C. If all

this O2 is converted to ozone (O3) at the same temperature and

pressure, what would be the volume of the ozone?

III. The Ideal Gas Law.

A. Summary.

* Boyle’s Law: V = k/P (at constant T and n)

Charles’s Law: V = kT (at constant P and n)

Avogadro’s Law: V = kn (at constant T and P).

B. The Ideal Gas Law.

1. Combining the above laws we obtain the ideal gas law:

2. R is the universal gas constant.

* Values.

R = 0.08206 L atm/mol K = 8.314 L kPa/mol K =

62.4 L mm Hg/mol K

3. Real gases behave as ideal gases as they approach low pressures

(below 1 atm) and high temperatures.

4. Ideal Gas Law I.

* A sample of hydrogen gas (H2) has a volume of 8.56 L at a

temperature of 0 C and a pressure of 1.5 atm. Calculate the

moles of H2 molecules present in this sample of gas.

5. Ideal Gas Law II.

* Suppose we have a sample of ammonia gas with a volume of 3.5 L

at a pressure of 1.68 atm. The gas is compressed to a volume of

1.35 L at a constant temperature. Use the ideal gas law to

calculate the final pressure.

torr, what will be the volume of the sample?

V. Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressure.

A. Dalton’s Law.

1. Named in honor of English scientist John Dalton.

a. He stated that gases mix homogeneously.

b. He also said that each gas in a mixture behaves as if it were the

only gas present.

c. Dalton’ Law: For a mixture of gases in a container, the total

pressure exerted is the sum of the pressures that each gas

would exert if it were alone.

d. P total = P1 + P2 + P3 + ......

e. The fact that the pressure exerted by an ideal gas is not

affected by the identity (composition) of the gas particle reveal

two things.

* The volume of the individual gas particles must not be

important.

* The forces among the particles must not be important.

2. Dalton’s Law I.

* Mixtures of helium and oxygen are used in scuba diving tanks to

help prevent “the bends.” For a particular dive, 46 L He at 25 C

and 1.0 atm and 12 L O2 at 25 C and 1.0 atm were pumped into a

tank with a volume of 5.0 L. Calculate the partial pressure of

each gas and the total pressure in the tank at 25 C.

B. Mole Fraction.

The oxygen produced was collected by water displacement at 22

C at a total pressure of 754 torr. The volume of the gas

collected was 0.650 L, and the vapor pressure of water at 22 C is

21 torr. Calculate the partial pressure of O2 in the gas collected

and the mass of KClO3 in the sample that was decomposed.

VI. The Kinetic Molecular Theory of Gases.

A. KMT.

1. The kinetic molecular theory (KMT) is a simple model that attempts

to explain the properties of an ideal gas.

2. From HONORS CHEM: Kinetic Theory Revisited.

* Recall that gases consist of hard, spherical particles, usually atoms or

molecules.

a. Because the particles are so small and the distances between

them are so great, their individual volumes are insignificant.

* The volume of a gas is mostly empty space.

b. Property: Gases are highly compressible.

* Also, recall that there are no attractive or repulsive forces between

gas particles.

a. Gases are free to move inside their containers.

b. Property: A gas expands until it takes the volume and shape of

its container.

* Next, recall that gas particles move rapidly in constant random

motion.

a. The particles travel in straight paths and move independently of

each other.

b. Only when a particle collides with a container wall or another gas

particle does it deviate from its straight-line path.

* In addition, recall that collisions between gas particle are elastic,

meaning that the total kinetic energy remains constant and that the

kinetic energy is transferred without loss from one particle to

another.

* Finally, recall that the average kinetic energy of a collection of gas

particles is directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature of the

gas.

3. Assumptions.

a. The particles are so small compared with the distance between

them that the volume of the individual particles can be assumed

to be negligible (zero).

b. The particles are in constant motion. The collisions of the

particles with the wall of the container are the cause of the

pressure exerted by the gas.

c. The particles are assumed to exert no forces on each other; the

are assumed to neither attract nor to repel each other.

d. The average kinetic energy of a collection of gas particles is

assumed to be directly proportional to the Kelvin temperature

of the gas.

4. Pressure is defined as the force exerted by particles colliding with a

a container wall. This is not the same as atmospheric pressure.

5. Real gases do not conform to these assumptions because they have

finite volumes and do exert forced on each other.

B. Justification of the gas laws using KMT.

1. Pressure and Volume (Boyle’s Law).

a. Law: For a given sample of gas at constant T and n, if the volume

of a gas is decreased, the pressure increase.

b. KMT: Since a decrease in volume means that the gas particles

will hit the container wall more often, the pressure should

increase.

2. Volume and Temperature (Charles’s Law).

a. Law: At constant P and n, the volume of a gas is directly

proportional to the Kelvin temperature.

b. KMT: When a gas is heated to a higher temperature, the speeds

of its molecules increase and thus hit the walls more often with

more force. The only way to keep the pressure constant in this

situation is to increase the volume of the container.

3. Volume and Number of Moles (Avogadro’s Law).

a. Law: The volume of a gas at constant P and T depends directly

on the number of gas particles present.

b. KMT: An increase in the number of gas particles at the same

temperature would cause the pressure to increase if the volume

were held constant. The only way to return the pressure to its

original value is to increase the volume.

c. It is important to recognize that the volume of a gas depends

only on the number of gas particle present.

d. The individual volumes of the particles are not a factor because

the particle volumes are so small compared to the distances

between the particles.

4. Mixture of Gases (Dalton’s Law).

a. Law: The total pressure exerted by a mixture of gases is the

sum of the pressures of the individual gases.

b. KMT: All gases are independent of one another and the volumes

of the individual particles are unimportant. Thus the identities

of the gas particles do not matter.

5. Deriving the Ideal Gas Law.

a. Derivation:

b. The experimental and theoretical equations for the ideal gas law

are virtually identical, giving confidence in the KMT.

6. The Meaning of Temperature.

a. Temperature is a measure of the energy of molecular motion; a

transfer of KE from collisions of higher energy objects to

collections of lower energy particles.

b. Equation:

7. Root Mean Square Velocity.

a. The root mean square velocity (urms) is the square root of the

average of the squares of the individual velocities of gas

particles.

b. Derivation:

c. Calculate the root mean square velocity for the atoms in a

sample of helium gas at 25 C.

VII. Effusion and Diffusion.

A. Effusion.

1. Effusion is the process by which a gas escapes from its container

through a tiny hole into an evacuated tube.

2. Thomas Graham (1805-1869), a Scottish chemist, found

experimentally that the rate of effusion of a gas is inversely

proportional to the square root of the mass of its particles.

3. Graham’s Law of Effusion:

4. Effusion Rates.

* Calculate the ratio of the effusion rates of hydrogen gas (H2)

and uranium hexafluoride (UF6), a gas used in the enrichment

process to produce fuel for nuclear reactors.

5. KMT: The effusion rate for a gas depends directly on the average

velocity of its particles.

a. The faster the gas particles are moving, the more likely they are

to pass through the effusion orifice.

b. Prediction:

B. Diffusion.

* Diffusion is the movement of one gas through another and uses the

same equation as effusion.

VIII. Real Gases.

A. Deviations.

1. Molecules have finite molecular volumes.

2. Interactions exist between molecules.

3. When volume decreases, condensation often occurs.

4. Gases behave nearly ideally under ordinary conditions of low pressure

and high temperature.

B. Reasons for Deviations.

1. Graph:

2. When Pext > 10 atm, deviations occur.

3. Intermolecular attractions lower molecular speeds and lessen the

force of collision with the container wall.

a. Increasing the external pressure causes this to occur.

b. Lowering temperature yields the same effect.

c. Both cases may cause condensation.

d. Because the volume decreases in both cases, the PV/RT is

lowered.

4. Molecular Volume.

a. As external pressure increases, free volume decreases and

molecular volume becomes a significant factor, outweighing the

importance of the effects of intermolecular attractions.

b. The “V” used in the ratio PV/RT still refers to the volume of the

container, not the volumes of the gas molecules.

c. Because “V” is artificially too large, the ratio PV/RT increases.

5. The van der Waals Equation.

a. This equation adjusts pressure “up” and volume “down.”

b. The equation:

c. The a and b variables are the van der Waals constants.

* They are positive values specific to each gas.

* They are obtained from a table.

* a is related to molar mass and relate with the strength of the

intermolecular attractions.

* b is a measure of actual molecular volume.

I. Types of Attractions.

A. Intramolecular Attractions.

1. These are forces within a molecule or polyatomic ion.

2. They are also referred to as bonding forces.

3. These influence chemical properties.

B. Intermolecular Attractions.

1. These are forces between molecules, ions, or atoms.

2. They influence physical properties.

II. A Comparison of States of Matter.

A. KMT.

1. For a gas, the energy of attraction is less than the energy of motion.

The particles, therefore, are far apart.

2. For a liquid, the energy of attraction is stronger, but KE allows for

movement. The particles, therefore, are closer, but with motion.

3. For a solid, the energy of attraction is greater than the energy of

motion. The particles, therefore, as arranged in a fixed, organized

pattern.

B. Shape/Volume.

1. For a gas, the molecules conform to the container in both shape and

volume.

2. For a liquid, the molecules conform to the container shape; the

volume is limited by surface.

3. For a solid, the compound has a defined shape and volume.

C. Compressibility.

1. For a gas, the compressibility is high because of the great distances

between particles.

2. For a liquid, the compressibility is very low.

3. For a solid, the compressibility is virtually nonexistent.

D. Ability of Flow.

1. For a gas, this ability is very high.

2. For a liquid, this ability is moderate.

3. For a solid, this ability is almost none.

III. A Look at Phase Changes for Water.

IV. Types of Intermolecular Attractions.

A. Introduction.

charges that are closer together (covalent radius).

involve charges that are far apart (van der Waals radius).

E. Ion-Induced Dipole Forces.

1. This occurs when an ion is attracted to a distorted nonpolar molecule.

2. The electron density of the nonpolar molecule is shifted as a result

of a charged particle.

3. Example:

F. Dipole-Induced Dipole.

1. This occurs between a polar molecule and a distorted nonpolar

molecule.

2. Example:

G. Dispersion(London) Forces.

1. These forces often occur when all particles collide.

2. This force is also related to molar mass because heavier molecules

tend to have more electrons capable of being polarized and distorted.

3. Shape is also a factor because more points of attraction means more

polarizability.

4. Example:

F. Predicting the Type and Relative Strength of Intermolecular Forces.

* In each of the following pairs, identify all the intermolecular forces

present and select the substance with the higher boiling point:

a. MgCl2 or PCl3

V. Properties of a Liquid.

A. Surface Tension.

1. Diagrams:

2. Surface tension is the energy required to increase the surface area

by a given amount ( in J/m2).

3. To reduce the instability of the entire substance at the surface, a

liquid will reduce the number of particles exposed to the surface.

* The particles form a tight “skin” at the surface.

4. The stronger the forces between the particles in a liquid, the

greater the surface tension.

B. Capillarity.

1. Capillarity is the ability of a substance to naturally “rise up” a tube

against gravity.

2. Diagrams:

C. Viscosity.

1. Viscosity is the resistance to flow.

2. The viscosity of a liquid decreases with increasing temperature.

3. Molecular shape also plays a role in determining a liquid’s viscosity.

* Longer molecules have more contact points for attractive forces

and have higher viscosities.

2. The Solvation Process.

a. Solute particles must separate.

b. Some solvent particles must separate.

c. Solute and solvent particles must mix together.

d. Whether or not a solution occurs depends on the relative

strengths of the solute-solute, solvent-solvent, and solute-

solvent intermolecular forces.

a. Explanation.

b. Diagrams:

2. Heats of Hydration: Ionic Solids in Water.

a. ΔHsoln = ΔHsolute + ΔHhydr

b. ΔHhydr is always exothermic (negative) because the ion-dipole

force is greater than the hydrogen bonding in water.

c. The charge density, the ratio of charge to volume, affects

ΔHhydr.

* The trend down a group is to decrease ΔHhydr because a

larger ion means a larger radius between particles, therefore

less energy is required to break the attraction.

* The trend across a period is to increase ΔHhydr as charge

increases.

3. The Solution Process and the Tendency Toward Disorder.

a. Entropy is a measure of a system’s disorder.

b. Because the solution process occurs naturally, which creates

more disorder, entropy is increased.

D. Solubility as an Equilibrium Process.

a. An unsaturated solution means

b. A saturated solution means

c. A supersaturated solution means

2. Factors Affecting Solubility.

a. Temperature.

* Solubility increases with temperature if the solution process

is endothermic (ΔHsoln > 0).

* Solubility decreases with temperature if the solution process

is exothermic (ΔHsoln < 0).

* Generally, ionic solids increase their solubility in water as

temperature increases.

* Generally, gases decrease their solubility in water as

temperature increases.

b. Pressure.

* Pressure changes have little effect on solid and liquid

solubility.

* Henry’s Law states that the solubility of a gas (Sgas) is

directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas (Pgas)

above the solution.

* In a soft-drink plant, the partial pressure of CO2 gas inside a

bottle of cola is adjusted to 4 atm at 25 C. What is the

a. Vapor Pressure Lowering (ΔP).

* This solution’s vapor pressure is always lower than the pure

solvent.

* Surface particles consist of some nonvolatile solute particles

that have replaced some solvent particles. Therefore, not as

many solvent particles are permitted to become a vapor.

* Raoult’s Law for ideal solutions:

* Calculate the expected vapor pressure at 25 C for a solution

prepared by dissolving 158.0 g of common table sugar (sucrose,

molar mass = 342.3 g/mol) in 643.5 cm3 of water. At 25 C, the

density of water is 0.9971 g/cm3 and the vapor pressure is

23.76 torr.

* Predict the vapor pressure of a solution prepared by mixing

35.0 g solid Na2SO4 (molar mass = 142 g/mol) with 175 g water

at 25 C. The vapor pressure of pure water at 25 C is 23.76

torr.

b. Boiling Point Elevation (ΔTb).

* This results from the increases pressure (ΔP).

* The boiling point of the solution is always higher than the pure

solvent under these conditions.

water. The resulting solution was found to have a boiling point

of 100.34 C. Calculate the molar mass of glucose. Glucose is a

molecular solid that is present as individual molecules in

solution.

c. Freezing Point Depression (ΔTf).

* The freezing point of the solution is always lower than the

pure solvent under these conditions.

* Solute particles hinder the rate at which the solvent particles

freeze.

* Equations:

* What mass of ethylene glycol (M = 62.1 g/mol), the main

component in antifreeze, must be added to 10.0 L water to

produce a solution for use in a car’s radiator that freezes at

-10.0 F (-23.3 C)? Assume the density of water is exactly 1

g/mL.

* A chemist is trying to identify a human hormone, which

controls metabolism, by determining its molar mass. A sample weighing 0.546 g was dissolved in 15.0 g benzene, and the freezing-point depression was determined to be 0.240 C. Calculate the molar mass of the hormone.

* To determine the molar mass of a certain protein, 1.00 x 10-3 g

of it was dissolved in enough water to make 1.00 mL of

solution. The osmotic pressure of this solution was found to be

1.12 torr at 25 C. Calculate the molar mass of the protein.

* What concentration of sodium chloride in water is needed to

produce an aqueous solution isotonic with blood (π = 7.70 atm

at 25 C)?

3. Volatile nonelectrolytic solutions.

a. When a solution contains two volatile components, both

contribute to the total vapor pressure, but not necessarily in

equal amounts.

b. Equal amounts of liquid do not produce equal amounts of vapor.

c. A solution is prepared by mixing 5.81 g acetone (C3H6O, molar

mass = 58.1 g/mol) and 11.9 g chloroform (HCCl3, molar mass =

119.4 g/mol). At 35 C, this solution has a total vapor pressure of

260 torr. Is this an ideal solution? The vapor pressures of pure

acetone and pure chloroform at 35 C are 345 and 293 torr,

respectively.

4. Colligative Properties of Electrolytic Solutions.

a. Most electrolytic solutions are not ideal.

b. A vant Hoff factor (i) attempts to adjust the equations.

c. i =

d. Equations:

G. Colloids.

1. A suspension contains very large particles that settle out of solution.

2. A solution contains very small solute particles that do not separate

from the solvent.

3. A colloid contains intermediate particles (solutelike) distributed

throughout a dispersing (solventlike) substance.

4. Evaluating colloids.

a. The Tyndall effect measures the scattering of light by a

colloidal suspension.

b. Brownian motion measures the change in speed and direction of

colloidal particles because of the action of the dispersing

medium.

5. Types of Colloids.

I. Electromagnetic Radiation.

A. The Nature of Light.

1. The primary characteristics of a wave.

a. Wavelength (λ) is the distance between two consecutive peaks

or troughs in a wave.

b. Frequency (ν) is the number of waves (cycles) per second that

pass a given point in space.

c. Diagram:

d. All types of electromagnetic radiation (waves), a breakdown of

light based on wavelength and frequency, travel at the speed of

light (c).

* The speed of light (c) = 2.9979 x 108 m/s.

* The electromagnetic spectrum:

e. Wavelength and frequency are inversely related.

* λν = c

where λ is the wavelength in meters, ν is the frequency in

cycles per second, and c is the speed of light.

* In the SI system, cycles is understood, and the unit per

second becomes 1/s, or s-1, which is called hertz (Hz).

2. Frequency of Electromagnetic Radiation.

* The brilliant red colors seen in fireworks are because of the

emission of light with wavelengths around 650 nm when strontium

salts such as Sr(NO3)2 and SrCO3 are heated. Calculate the

frequency of red light of wavelength 6.50 x 102 nm.

B. Some Distinguishing Properties of Wave.

1. Refraction is the bending of a light wave (a change in angle) when it

strikes a boundary.

2. Diffraction is the bending of a light wave around a boundary.

3. Light must be a wave because it possesses these properties.

II. The Nature of Matter.

A. Light vs. Matter.

1. Blackbody Radiation.

a. When a solid (specifically a particle) is heated, it emits light

waves.

* Examples:

b. German Max Planck (1858-1947) said that a hot, glowing object

emits or absorbs a specific amount of energy to produce this

light.

c. This specific energy is said to be quantized, or specific, lost or

gained only in integer multiples of hν.

d. ΔE = nhν

where h is Planck’s constant (6.626 x 10-34 J s), ν is the

frequency of the electromagnetic spectrum absorbed or emitted,

ΔE is the change in energy for a system, and n is a whole-number

integer (1, 2, 3, ...).

e. This implies that light energy of matter is not continuous (like a

rainbow), but that it is absorbed or emitted only at specific

quantized energy states.

f. Is matter separate form light (energy)?

2. The Energy of a Photon (a packet of energy).

* The blue color in fireworks is often achieved by heating copper(I)

chloride (CuCl) to about 1200 C. Then the compound emits blue

light having a wavelength of 450 nm. What is the increment of

energy (the quantum) that is emitted at 4.50 x 102 nm by CuCl?

3. The Photoelectric Effect.

a. When light strikes a monochromatic plate, an electrical current

flows (like a solar calculator).

b. Light must transfer momentum to matter, like particles do; light

is behaving like a particle!

c. Confusing feature of the Photoelectric Effect.

* A threshold (minimum) frequency is required to knock an

electron free from a metal. Wave theory associates the light’s

energy with the wave amplitude (intensity), not its frequency

(color), so it predicts that an electron should be knocked free

when the metal absorbs enough energy from any color of light.

* Current flows the moment that light of high enough frequency

shines on the metal, regardless of its intensity. The wave

theory predicted that in dim light there should be a time lag

before current flowed, while the electrons absorbed enough

energy to break free.

4. Albert Einstein’s Photon Theory.

a. Einstein proposed that radiation is particulate, occurring as

quanta of electromagnetic energy (packets), later called

photons.

b. Einstein solved the mysteries of the Photoelectric Effect.

* A beam of light is composed of enormous numbers of photons.

Light intensity (brightness) is related to the number of

photons emitted per unit of time, not their energy. One

electron is freed from the metal when one photon of a certain

minimum energy is absorbed.

* An electron is freed the moment it absorbs a photon of enough

energy, not when it gradually accumulates energy from many

photons of lower energy.

5. In 1922, American Arthur Compton (1892-1962) performed

experiments involving collisions of X rays and electrons that showed

that photons do actually have a resting mass, a property of matter!

a. This is the Compton Effect.

b. Equations:

6. Summary.

a. Energy is quantized. It can occur only in discrete units called

quanta.

b. Electromagnetic radiation, which was previously thought to

exhibit only wave properties, seems to show certain

characteristics of particulate matter as well.

* This is wave-particle duality or the dual nature of light.

B. Wave-Particle Duality of Matter and Energy.

1. From Einstein, we have the following:

2. French physicist Louis de Broglie (1892-1987) proposed in 1923 that

if waves of energy have some properties of particles, perhaps

particles of matter have some properties of waves.

a. This is similar to a guitar string (a particle) producing sound (a

wave.)

b. De Broglie wave equation:

c. Calculations of Wavelengths.

* Compare the wavelength for an electron (mass = 9.11 x 10-31

kg) traveling a speed of 1.0 x 107 m/s with the for a ball (mass

= 0.10 kg) traveling 35 m/s.

3. In 1927, Davisson and Germer verified De Broglie’s concept when

an electron was seen to exhibit wave properties of interference and

diffraction.

III. The Atomic Spectrum of Hydrogen.

* The Atomic Spectrum.

1. The atomic spectrum (light emitted) was thought to be continuous.

a. Again, this is similar to a rainbow.

b. All of the wavelengths of visible light are present.

c. Diagram:

2. When the emission spectrum of hydrogen in the visible region is

passed through a prism, only a few lines are seen.

a. Diagram:

b. These lines correspond to discrete wavelengths of specific

(quantized) energy.

* Only certain energies are allowed for the electron in the

hydrogen atom.

c. The hydrogen emission spectrum is called a line spectrum.

IV. The Bohr Model.

A. The Quantum Model.

1. Niels Bohr (1885-1962) proposed in 1913 that the electron in a

hydrogen atom moves around the nucleus only in certain allowed

circular orbits.

a. Diagram:

b. The atoms has stationary states, called energy levels, of specific

energy around the nucleus.

c. Electrons can move to other energy levels by absorbing (jumping

to higher energy levels) or emitting (jumping to lower energy

levels) photons of specific (quantized) energy.

* Energy levels farther from the nucleus more “unstable” and

therefore more “energetic.”

* As we will see, the closer to the nucleus an energy level is, the

more stable it is and the less energetic it is.

d. The lowest (first) energy level of an atom is called ground state.

e. This model only works for one-electron atoms!

2. The most important equation to come from Bohr’s model is the

expression for the energy levels available to the electron in the

hydrogen atom:

E = -2.178 x 10-18 J (Z2/n2)

in which n is an integer (the larger the value of n, the larger is the

orbit radius) and Z is the nuclear charge.

a. Bohr was able to calculate hydrogen atom energy levels that

exactly matched the values obtained by experiment.

b. The negative sign means that the energy of the electron bound

to the nucleus is lower than it would be if the electron were at

an infinite distance from the nucleus (n = infinity), where there

is no interaction and the energy is zero:

* Again, the closer to the nucleus, the more stable, and the less

energetic (less meaning a negative energy value).

c. Electrons moving from one energy level to another.

* Equation:

3. Energy Quantized in Hydrogen.

* Calculate the energy required to excite the hydrogen electron

from level n = 1 to level n = 2. Also calculate the wavelength of

light that must be absorbed by a hydrogen atom in its ground

state to reach this excited state.

4. Electron Energies.

* Calculate the energy required to remove the electron from a

hydrogen atom in its ground state.

5. Although Bohr’s model fits the energy levels for hydrogen, it is a

fundamentally incorrect model for the hydrogen atom, mainly

because electrons do not travel in circular orbits.

V. The Quantum-Mechanical Model of the Atom.

A. The Schrodinger Equation.

1. The Schrodinger equation is an extremely complex equation used to

describe the 3-D quantum mechanical model of the hydrogen atom.

2. The hydrogen electron is visualized as a standing wave (a stationary

wave as one found on a musical instrument) around the nucleus.

a. The circumference of a particular orbit would have to

correspond to a whole number of wavelengths.

b. Diagrams:

c. This is consistent with the fact that only certain electron

energies are allowed.

B. The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle.

1. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle states that it is impossible to

know simultaneously the exact position and velocity of a particle.

2. Stated mathematically:

C. The Physical Meaning of a Wave Function.

1. The square of the function indicates the probability of finding an

electron near a particular point in space.

2. The probability distribution, or electron density diagram, can be

plotted to give the most probable region where an electron may be

located.

* Examples:

3. The definition most often used by chemists to describe the size of

the hydrogen 1s orbital is the radius of the sphere that encloses

90% of the total electron distribution.

VI. Quantum Numbers.

A. Quantum Numbers.

1. A quantum number describes various properties of an atomic orbital

or probable electron location.

2. Types.

a. The principle quantum number (n) refers to the energy level or

integral values: 1, 2, 3, etc.

b. The angular momentum (azimuthal) quantum number (l) is

related to the shape of atomic orbitals.

* The integral values are from 0 to n - 1.

* l = 0 is called s; l = 1 is called p; l = 2 is called d; l = 2 is called

f.

c. The magnetic quantum number (ml) is related to the orientation

of the orbital in space.

* The integral values are between l and -l, including zero.

3. Quantum Numbers for the First Four Levels of Orbitals in the

Hydrogen Atom.

VII. Electron Spin and the Pauli Principle.

A. Electron Spin

1. Although the first three quantum numbers describe atomic orbitals,

one more is needed to describe a specific electron.

* This is called spin, and is not a property of the orbital.

2. The spin quantum number (ms) indicates the “direction” an electron

spins and can have one of two possible values, +1/2 or -1/2.

* Notation:

B. Pauli Exclusion Principle.

1. American Wolfgang Pauli stated that no two electrons in the same

atom can have the same set of four quantum numbers.

a. This is the Pauli exclusion principle.

b. Example:

2. An atomic orbital can hold a maximum of two electrons and they must

have opposing spins.

3. The electrons of an atom in its ground state occupy the orbitals of

lowest energy.

VIII. Polyelectronic Atoms.

A. Electrostatic Effects.

1. In one electron systems, the only electrostatic force is the nucleus-

electron attractive force.

2. Many-electron systems (polyelectronic atoms).

a. Nucleus-electron attractions.

b. Electron-electron repulsions.

3. For polyelectronic atoms, one major consequence of having

attractions and repulsions is the splitting of energy levels into sublevels of differing energies.

a. The energy of an orbital in a many-electron atom depends on its

n value (size) and secondly on its l value (shape).

b. This means that energy levels may split into s, p, d, and f

sublevels, depending on the n value.

B. The Effects of Electrostatic Interactions on Orbital Energies.

1. Recall that, by definition, an atom’s energy has a negative value.

a. A more stable orbital has a larger negative energy than a less

stable one.

b. Stronger attractions make the orbital lower in energy (larger

negative number).

c. Repulsions make the system higher in energy (smaller negative

number).

2. Major Conclusions.

a. A greater nuclear charge (Z) lowers orbital energies.

* Why?

b. Electron-electron repulsions raise orbital energy.

* Why?

c. Electrons in outer orbitals (higher n) are higher in energy.

* Why?

d. Electrons that have a finite probability distribution near the

nucleus (penetration) have lower energy (more negative).

* Es < Ep < Ed < Ef.

* Why?
