Wavelength, Energy & Frequency Calculations
Wavelength- distance from crest to crest of a wave, one full cycle of a wave-measured in meters
Frequency- how often a wave passes per second-- measured in 1/s per second
As wavelength gets smaller, wave frequency gets larger
Equation:
c= speed of light= 3.0x 10^8 m/s
Energy of a wave is related to its frequency:
E= energy in joules
h= plank's constant= 6.626 x 10^-34 Joules/second

5 types of chemical reactions
•
Synthesis: 2Cu+O2 2CuO
•
•
Decomposition: MgCl2Mg+Cl2
•
•
The single element is switched with the “ “ from the compound
Double replacement: MgCl2+CuOMgO+CuCl2
•
•
The Compound decomposes into two elements
Single replacement: MgCl2+CuCuCl2+Mg
•
•
The two elements combine
One element from each compound is switched
Combustion: CH3OH+O2CO2+H2O
•
Hydrocarbon + oxygen = Carbon dioxide+ water
Predicting Products
•
If there are two individual elements as the reactants, The reaction
will be synthesis.
– The product will be a compound.
•
If the reactant is a compound, the reaction will be decomposition.
– The product will be two separate elements.
•
If the reactants are a compound and a single element, the element
will switch with one of the elements in the compound. The reaction
will be single replacement.
–
•
The product will be a new element and a new compound
If the reactants are two compounds (respectively) an element from
each compound will switch. The reaction will be double
replacement.
– The product will be two new compounds.
•
If the reactants are a hydrocarbon and an oxygen, the reaction will
be combustion.
– The product will be carbon dioxide and water.
Law of Conservation of Matter
• The law of conservation of matter states
that matter cannot be created or
destroyed, only transferred.
– This is why we must balance equations.
Balancing Equations
• When balancing equations, you must
have the same amount of each element
on either side of the reaction.
– __Mg+__O2__MgO
• There is too much O and too little Mg and MgO,
so this equation must be balanced to follow the
law of conservation of matter
• Add coefficients where needed
– 2 Mg+O22MgO
Balancing Equations
• There are 7 diatonic elements.
• When listed alone, these elements
always occur with the subscript of 2
• The elements are Br2, I2, N2, Cl2, H2, O2
and F2.
– These can be remembered using the word
BrINClHOF.
Net Ionic Equations
• First start by writing an ionic equation
– This includes aqueous substances that
dissociate into ions
– Zn(s)+CuSO4(aq)ZnSO4(aq)+Cu(s)
• The aqueous substances dissociate
– Zn(s)+Cu+2 (aq) +SO4-2(aq)Zn=2 (aq) +SO42(aq)+Cu(s)
• (aq)=aqueous, (s)=solid, (l )=liquid
• Remember to add charges
Net Ionic Equations
• Eliminate the substances that are the
same on either side of the reaction (the
spectator ions)
– Zn(s)+Cu+2(aq) +SO4-2(aq)Zn+2(aq) +SO42(aq)+Cu(s)
– Zn(s)+C+2(aq)Zn(s)+Cu(s)
• Above is the net ionic equation since the
spectator ions have been removed
Factor Label Method
• The factor-label method was made to keep
track of units in conversion problems. In the
method, conversion factors are set up in
fraction form. To get the unit you want, you
put it on the top of the fraction next to it. You
put the unit on the bottom that you are trying
to get rid of.

Mole Ratios
• The ratio between the amounts in moles of any two
compounds involved in a chemical reaction.
• Used as conversion factors between products and reactants in
many chemistry problems.
• Example:
2 H2(g) + O2(g) → 2 H2O(g)
The mole ratio between O2 and H2O is 1:2. For every 1 mole
of O2 used, 2 moles of H2O are formed.
The mole ratio between H2 and H2O is 1:1. For every two
moles of H2 used, 2 moles of H2O is formed.
Stoichiometry
•
•
•
•
The part of chemistry that studies amounts of substances that are
involved in reactions
Helps you figure out how much of a compound you will need, or how
much you started with.
To solve:
1.Balance the equation.
2.Convert units of a given substance to moles.
3.Using the mole ratio, calculate the moles of substance yielded by
the reaction.
4.Convert moles of wanted substance to desired units.
Ex:
2Mg + O2
2MgO
If you have 1.2 moles of Mg, how many moles of O2 will you get?
1.2 mol Mg x O2/2Mg = .6 mol O2
Limiting and Excess
Reactants
• If you have more than needed, you have excess.
• If you need more than you have, you have limiting.
• Example:
2Al2O3+3C
3CO2+4Al
If 2.3 g AlO3 and 3.2 g of C mix, which is the limiting and
which is the excess?
2.3 g AlO3 x 1 mol/101.96 g = .02 mol Al2O3 (have)
3.2 g C x 1 mol/12.01 g = .27 mol C
.02 x 3C/2Al2O3 = .03 mol C (need)
• Excess : C
• Limiting: Al2O3
Theoretical Yield
•
•
•
The quantity of a product obtained from the complete
conversion of the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction.
Commonly expressed in grams or moles
To calculate:
1. Use the molar mass of your reactant to convert grams of
your reactant to moles.
2. Use the mole ratio between reactant and product to
convert moles reactant to moles product.
3. Use the molar mass of the product to convert moles
product to grams of product.

pressure
 The more collisions that occur, the more pressure is excited
 All gas particles move in straight lines, but they bounce off
anything they collide with
 As the temperature increases the particles move faster, and
more collisions occur, that increases the pressure

 Molarity= moles/liters
 Use unit (M)
 Example: You make a solution

using 47.9 g of HCl. The volume
of the solution is 753 mL. What is
the Molarity of the solution?
47.9g*1 mole/36.46g=1.31mol
753mL*1L/1000mL=.75L
M= 1.31mol/.75L
M=1.75M
 Dipole-dipole forces: the
Intermolecular
Forces
attraction found between two
polar molecules
 Vanderwaals forces- attraction
between two nonpolar molecules
 Hydrogen bonding- a strong force
of attraction, not considered a
bond. Requires a very
electronegative element (Oxygen,
Nitrogen, Fluorine) bonded to a
Hydrogen
 Cohesive forces- attracted to
Intermolecular
Forces
other molecules of the same type

Surface tension
Pepper flakes float in a glass of water
until a spoon is inserted into the cup
and they sink
 Adhesive forces- molecules are
attracted to other molecules of a
different type

Capillary action
Pulls the liquid up the side of a tube
creating a meniscus
Specific heat calculations
The specific heat is the amount of heat per unit mass
required to raise the temperature by one degree
Celsius
• Delta, Δ or D= change of a variable.
• M=Mass of the sample
• Q= amount of heat that must be added.
• T= temperature of the substance.
• C= specific heat
Formulas:
c = Q/mΔt
ΔQ = mcΔt

•
pH=-log[H+]
[H+]=10-pH
pOH=-log[OH-]
[OH-]=10-pOH
pH+pOH=14
