Repulsive wall is steep on close approach
Depth of potential well is (~) bond strength
Position of potential well is bond length

Use fragments and isotope ratios to identify to determine connectedness of
molecules and parts of molecules
Recap of Lecture #4: Phase Transitions
Phases
Solid – Condensed (close together), organized
Has vibrational but not translational nor rotational motion
Liquid – Condensed, not organized
Has translational, vibrational, and rotational motion
Gas – Separated (much more randomness è higher entropy than condensed
phases)
Has translational, vibrational, and rotational motion
Plasma – high energy, ionized gas
Ionization potentials are several eV (UV)

Recap of Lecture #6: Thermodynamics I
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
So, ΔH < 0, making stronger bonds, is favorable
So, ΔS > 0, increased disorder, is favorable
ΔH and ΔS vary little with temperature. ΔG does vary with T è effect of ΔS
ΔG < 0 Keq > 1 Spontaneous
ΔG > 0 Keq < 1 Not spontaneous
ΔG = 0 Keq = 1 System at equilibrium (with equal amts of reactants & products)

Polyatomic molecular gases have more entropy than diatomic molecular gases
than atomic gases

Solution composition
Most common – molarity = moles/L
Also – mole fraction, molality, mass fraction (and normality)
Acid/Base Definitions

Acid - Proton donor, Base - Hydroxide donor
Bronsted-Lowry:
Acid - Proton donor, Base - Proton acceptor

Equilibria
Strong acids dissociate essentially completely in water
Strong acids (for our purposes): HCl, HBr, HI, H2SO4, HNO3, HClO4
Strong bases react completely to give OH¯ in water
They are (for our purposes)
Alkali (Group 1A) hydroxides: LiOH, NaOH, KOH, RbOH, CsOH
Heavy alkaline earth (Group 2A) hydroxides: Ca(OH)2, Sr(OH)2, Ba(OH)2
H¯(typically used as NaH), NH2¯ (and there are more)
Ka Kb = [H+][OH¯] = Kw = 10-14

These can be quantified, but be careful of sign conventions – use your intuition
Oxidation-reduction (redox) reactions
Disproportionation reactions – same element is both oxidized and reduced.
With electrochemistry, we can quantitate amount of reaction
Spontaneous reactions produce energy (generally make stronger bonds) Keq>1
Nonspontaneous reactions require energy, e.g., electrolytic reactions, Al reduction
Assign formal oxidation states:
1. Oxygen is almost always -2
2. Halogens (F, Cl, Br, I) always are -1, except when Cl, Br, I are bound to O or F
3. Hydrogen is always +1, except when bound to group I, II, or III metals, then -1
4. Other elements to balance charge on compound (can have mixed valency)
Ka Kb = [H+][OH¯] = Kw = 10-14
pKa + pKb = 14 = pH + pOH
Buffer pH~pKa
6
Recap of Lecture #9:
Oxyacids, Thermodynamics
Oxyacids
For a particular central atom, the more positive the formal oxidation state, the
stronger the acid
For a series of oxyacids where the central atom has the identical formal oxidation
state, the more electronegative the central atom, the stronger the acid
Laws of Thermodynamics
1 Energy is conserved
2 Entropy increases
3 At 0 K, S = 0 for a pure element
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
So, ΔH < 0, making stronger bonds, is favorable
So, ΔS > 0, increased disorder, is favorable
ΔH and ΔS vary little with temperature. ΔG does vary with T è effect of ΔS

equilibrium
Increase a concentration è reaction shifts to decrease (consume) what was added
Increase pressure è reaction shifts to consume gas
+ more
This concept is used to drive reactions – by removing one or more of the products
cf. homeostasis
Stay tuned for buffers

Solution Compositions
Concentrations
Most common is molarity
M = moles solute / L solution
Water is 55.5 M
K2SO4(s)
H2O
2K+ + SO42-
Since K2SO4 is soluble in water,
1 M K2SO4(aq) is 2 M K+ and 1 M SO42Others used:
Mole fraction = moles of X / total moles
Mass percentage is common in everyday life
Less common are:
Normality = equivalents (usually acid or base) / L
Still used in medicine, but discouraged in science & engineering
Molality = moles solute / kg solvent
.
Balancing Reactions
Same number of atoms of each element on each side of reaction*
Same total charge on each side
In electrochemistry – we will also cover half-cell reactions.
In reduction, electrons will be a reactant (on left)
In oxidation, electrons will be a product (on right)
Total reaction will eliminate electrons from both sides.
Losing electrons at Anode is Oxidation &
Gaining electrons is Reduction at the Cathode
LAnOx & GRedCat
*Except
in nuclear reactions

Metal Complexes
Coordination compounds
Lewis acid – Lewis base adducts
Important in enzymes, catalysis, metal/salt dissolution
Orbitals and oxidation state of central metal ion determine coordination.
Electronic excitation – absorption and emission
Lewis base ligands split electronic energies of metal ions – leading to color and
spin
Lone pair electrons repel and stay farthest away (as compared to ligands)
Spin
High spin vs. low spin compounds
Compare crystal field splitting (Δ) to the spin pairing energy (P)
Spectrochemical series – relative ligand effect on Δ
Paramagnetic – having one of more unpaired spins
Colors
Complementary colors – if a color is absorbed, the absorbing material will
appear as the complementary color
Red-green, orange-blue, yellow-violet
Other means of color: emission, interference
Energy and Excitations in Solids
Metals
No band gap - HOMO, LUMO are at the same energy
Electronic excitation is small vs. kT
High electrical and thermal conductivity
Conductivity decreases with increasing temperature because of electron scattering
Semiconductors and Insulators
Have a band gap between valence (lower) band and conduction (upper) band –
electronic excitation is >kT
This determines insulator vs. semiconductor
Direct band gap can be excited by photons (very little momentum)
Indirect band gap cannot be photoexcited efficiently
Electrons and “holes” can carry charge
Differentiate with magnetic field (Hall effect)
Energies of (dopant) states in the band gap determine conductivity and whether
electrons or holes dominate current
Conductivity increases with increasing temperature because of thermal excitation
of carriers
25
Semiconductor Electronic Structure
Semiconductor
(intrinsic)
Raising temperature increases conductivity
(i.e., decreases resistivity), because carriers
are thermally excited
EFermi
With impurities,
semiconductors have shifted
Fermi energies, from/to which carriers
can be thermally excited

However three such elements (Th, Pa, and U)
do have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic
composition, and for these an atomic weight is
tabulated.
Relative atomic mass is shown with five
significant figures. For elements have no stable
nuclides, the value enclosed in brackets
indicates the mass number of the longest-lived
isotope of the element.

Question 1 (10 points):
In Flint, Michigan, the water supply has become contaminated with lead.
If you were worried that other metals might be in the water, how would you determine
which are present?
Describe how that information is obtained from your choice.
Question 2 (15 points):
A 3-m long cylinder has three compartments with two and each compartment has a
volume of 45 L. Initially, the separators are held in place and each compartment is open
to the air, with the pressure in the room at 760 torr (1.0 atm), and the temperature at 0 °C.
Assume that the air is an ideal gas.
a) How many moles of gas are in each compartment? (5 points)
b) The connections from the compartments to the room are sealed off and:
the pressure in the right chamber is increased to 2.0 atm,
the pressure in the left chamber is increased to 3.0 atm, and
then the separators (pistons) are released and move without friction.
What is the pressure in each chamber?
Where do the separators sit (draw a diagram) and why? (10 points)
Question 3 (30 points):
Heat is added at a constant rate to water as the temperature is raised from -20 °C to
120 °C.
Draw the time course of the temperature and density (two different curves) and
indicate the phase(s) at each temperature.
Label and concisely explain each stage of each curve and indicate where intermolecular
bonds are made or broken.
Question 4 (15 points):
How could you differentiate between ethylene (C2H4), nitrogen (N2), and carbon
monoxide (CO) using mass spectrometry?
Question 5 (15 points):
Why are there warning signs indicating “ionizing radiation”?
Briefly explain in terms of energies and other related issues.
Give two examples of ionizing radiation.
Question 6 (15 points):
How would you experimentally determine the atomic radius of Xe?
Briefly explain your choice of technique in terms of length scales, energies, and related
issues.
Extra credit #1 (2 points):
How are the gas constant, R, and the Boltzmann constant, kB, conceptually related
Extra credit #2 (2 points):
How are the energy units Hz and cm-1 conceptually related?

However three such elements (Th, Pa, and U)
do have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic
composition, and for these an atomic weight is
tabulated.
Relative atomic mass is shown with five
significant figures. For elements have no stable
nuclides, the value enclosed in brackets
indicates the mass number of the longest-lived
isotope of the element.

Question 1 (25 points):
Limestone (CaCO3) is heated to produce lime (CaO) as an inexpensive, solid base in the
following reaction:
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
a) What are the signs of ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG for this reaction? (20 points)
Explain your answer for each.
If any of the answers depend on additional information, indicate on what and how.
b) What can you say about the equilibrium constant Keq? (5 points)
Question 2 (15 points):
Referring again to the reaction:
CaCO3(s) → CaO(s) + CO2(g)
a) Write the equilibrium constant for this reaction (in terms of concentrations, etc.).
(5 points)
b) If a sealed container, initially under vacuum, with both CaCO3(s) and CaO(s) inside is
allowed to reach equilibrium, how might you measure the equilibrium constant?

PERIOD
Name _______________________
Question 1 (15 points):
HF Ka = 7×10-4
CuF2 Ksp = 7×10-2
[Cu(NH3)4]2+ KF = 2×1013
Rank the solubility of CuF2(s) from highest to lowest in water, 0.1 M HF, 0.1 M NH3.
Concisely explain your answer, showing the reactions involved in each case. (15 points)
Question 2 (25 points):
Ethylenediamene (shown below) is a chelate that is typically abbreviated as “en”
The formation constants, KF, of octahedral Ni2+ complex ions at 25 °C are:
[Ni(en)3]2+
2 ×1018
[Ni(NH3)6]2+
4 ×108
a) Write the reactions for the formation and the formation constants (in terms of
concentrations) for each complex ion (10 points)
b) The ΔHf of the two complex ions are the same to two significant figures. How do you
explain the difference in formation constants? (5 points)
c) If NH3 were added to an aqueous solution of [Ni(en)3]2+ such that both concentrations
were initially 1 M after mixing, what would happen?
Write the reaction and discuss on which side the equilibrium would lie, and why.
(5 points)
d) If ethylenediamine were added to an aqueous solution of [Ni(NH3)6]2+ such that both
concentrations were initially 1 M after mixing, what would happen?
Again, write the reaction and discuss on which side the equilibrium would lie, and why.
(5 points)
Question 3 (20 points):
The monomer styrene (shown below)
3
is used to make polystyrene (styrofoam).
a) What is the structure of the polymer? You may answer by showing the repeat unit.
(10 points)
b) Show how this polymerization reaction proceeds, showing both the reactants and the
products as the polymer grows. Explain concisely why this reaction proceeds over other
possible reactions. (10 points)
Question 4 (30 points):
a) Choose three elements from a row of the periodic table and give the order you expect
for increasing oxidation half-cell potential of the neutral element. Concisely explain your
answer. (5 points)
b) Choose two of the above and write one as a balanced oxidation half-cell reaction and
the other as a balanced reduction half-cell reaction. Use realistic oxidation states.
Combine the two such that the overall reaction is spontaneous as written. (10 points)
c) Give the signs of ΔG° and E° that you expect for the reaction as written in b. What
can you say about Keq? (10 points)
d) Choose three elements from a column of the periodic table and give the order you
expect for increasing oxidation half-cell potential of the neutral element. Concisely
explain your answer. (5 points)
Question 5 (10 points):
DNA has special properties as both a polymer and the holder of our genetic code: it can
be synthesized precisely, copied, and measured (sequenced).
One property of a polymer (that we discussed) is rigidity.
A quantitative measure of this rigidity is the “persistence length” – below the persistence
length, the polymer behaves as a rigid rod; at larger scales, it behaves as a flexible chain.
The persistence length of double-stranded, double-helix DNA is 50 nm.
The persistence length of single-stranded DNA is ~4 nm (even lower at high salt
concentration, by the way).
a) Concisely explain this difference between single- and double-stranded DNA. (5 points)
b) What interactions make double-stranded DNA more rigid? (5 points)
Extra credit #1 (5 points):
4
In questions 2c and 2d, what would happen to the equilibria if the temperature were
raised from 25 °C to 50 °C? Explain your answers.
Extra credit #2 (5 points)
In question 5, how might double-stranded DNA be rigidified further (chemically)?

However three such elements (Th, Pa, and U)
do have a characteristic terrestrial isotopic
composition, and for these an atomic weight is
tabulated.
Relative atomic mass is shown with five
significant figures. For elements have no stable
nuclides, the value enclosed in brackets
indicates the mass number of the longest-lived
isotope of the element.

Question 1 (15 points):
Can an infrared photon break a typical covalent bond? Why or why not? (15 points)
Question 2 (25 points):
For the reaction of Si(s) + O2(g) → SiO2(s)
a) What are the signs of ΔH, ΔS, and ΔG? Explain each of your answers concisely.
(15 points)
[Hint: what would C do, in place of Si?]
b) Petrified wood comes from dehydration (loss of water) of silicic acid, Si(OH)4 (shown
below), ultimately to form quartz, SiO2 (after the silicic acid has replaced the organic
matter in the plant; the colors from metal ions that are left in the quartz crystals).
Show the first step in the polymerization reaction, starting with the reaction of two silicic
acid molecules, including showing the reaction products. (10 points)
Question 3 (10 points):
Recall from the third midterm that the monomer styrene (left) is used to make
polystyrene (middle), the main component of Styrofoam.
Last Wednesday, at the International Conference on Nanostructures on Kish Island, Iran,
in the talk before mine, Prof. Luis Liz-Marzán (right, one of the world’s leading
nanoscientists, the director of the nanocenter CIC biomaGUNE, San Sebastian, Spain,
who has been knighted by the King of Spain) showed that he could make crystalline
lattices of Au nanoparticles that were coated with polystyrene.
In each of the three electron microscope images below, all the 18-nm Au nanoparticles
(which appear as spots) are the same, other than their polystyrene coating.
Each polystyrene chain is chemically attached to the 18-nm Au nanoparticle at one end,
so each particle has the same number of attached chains. The only difference from top to
bottom in the images is the molecular weight (MW) of the polymer chains: 5800, 21,500
and 53,000 amu. Each spot in the electron microscopy image is an 18-nm Au
3
nanoparticle within a small crystal of nanoparticles; the polymer surrounding each
nanoparticle is not observed (because C and H do not interact with electrons as strongly
as Au does).
a) Why are the Au nanoparticle spacings different and in this order, in terms of the
attached polymer molecular weight? (Ignore the points in the plot for the different sizes
of nanoparticles.) (5 points)
b) Estimate the average polymer chain lengths in each case in terms of number of
monomer units. Recall that each carbon has four bonds and the H atoms are not shown in
the molecular structures above. Show your work. (5 points)

Question 4 (20 points, extra points are possible):
Fluorescence is a widely used quantitative method of detection.
For example, in flow cytometry, two different dyes can be used and separately
interrogated to label DNA in terms of the total amount of C-G vs A-T content in
individual chromosomes. This is shown schematically below.
a) Explain concisely how we can tell the two dyes apart. (10 points, + bonus points if you
correctly draw, use, and explain energy level diagrams for both
)
b) Explain concisely how we can tell how much of each type of base pair (C-G and A-T)
and dye is present. (5 points)
c) If a piece of a chromosome is missing, what happens to the two signals? (5 points)
Question 5 (30 points):
The half-life of 14C is approximately 5700 years.
The ratio of 14C/12C in the atmosphere is approximately 1.2×10-12.
If a tree was seeded and started to grow 17,100 (=3×5700) years ago and lived for 5700
years (ok, I know that is a long life for a tree, but nobody was carving their initials in it):
a) Draw and concisely explain a plot of the 14C/12C ratio in the tree for the last 17,100
years. (15 points)
b) For the first 5700 years since the tree was seeded and started to grow and for the time
since, give the functional form of the plot. (5 points)
c) What is the reaction order in [14C] for the 11,400 years since the tree died? Explain
concisely. (5 points)
d) What is the 14C/12C ratio in the (dead) tree now? Show your calculation. (5 points)
Extra credit #1 (10 points):
For question 2a, write balanced half-cell redox reactions that could be used to measure
the Ecell and ΔG for this reaction. Label the oxidation and reduction half-cell reactions.
