Problem Solving Tips

Step 1: Identify the substances rate order in the
reaction
Step 2: Solve for the k of the reaction if not given.
This is done through linear regression (x vs y)
on your scientific calculator. Be familiar with your
scientific calculator before the exam.
* Remember to apply ln for 1st orders and
reciprocals for 2nd orders when data plotting
Step 3: Use the equation specified in the table
above
Integrated Rate Law
When to use:
* Given: all the variables except for the one being
solved for (initial concentration, rate constant,
time, and final concentration)
* If youre lacking more than one variable, you
probably missed something / can use another
equation to find the missing variable (probably
rate constant)
Half-life of Substance
When to use:
* Solve for: It specifically asks for half-life or a
paraphrase of it
* Given: most likely just initial concentration.
Recall: solve for rate constant

( )

2 1
Where Ea is activation energy, R is the gas
constant, 8.314 J/mol k, T is time, and A is the
Arrhenius constant
When to use (linear):
* Usually this is used to do a linear regression
(1/T vs ln k) to solve for activation energy (by
multiplying the slope with R, 8.314 J / mol k;
Note: Activation energy is always positive)
* Another time you have to use this is when
youre being asked for the Arrhenius constant of
the reaction
* The only other time you have to use this is when
youre given all the variables except for the one
youre solving for

When to use (two-point):

* Use this when youre solving for activation
energy and youre only given two data sets (lets
say, initial and final).
* You can use the other form naman but this
saves a LOT of time

Chemical Equilibrium
Given the equation:
+ +
Equilibrium Constant, kc
[] []
[] []
Note: Kc values are dimensionless because they
involve a thermodynamic quantity called activity, a
ratio of a substances concentration/partial
pressure to a standard. Liquids and solids have
activities approaching 1, making them value-less in
the computation.
The Reaction Quotient, Q
[] []
[] []
Where the concentrations are not necessarily
equilibrium values
Problem Solving Tips:
* When being asked about where the reaction
would proceed based on Q and Kc, compare them
with Kc on the left. Follow the direction of the
comparison sign. (e.g. Kc > Q, the reaction
proceeds to the right)
Solving for Q and Kc/Kp: The ICE Table

* Make sure that the entire table uses only ONE
unit. It can be in molarity (M, mol/L), moles
(mol), or atm (pressure)

* Notice how the change in amount x is still

affected by the stoichiometric coefficients. Lets
say that youre given an initial of 0 M and a final
of 20 M with a coefficient of 2. The change, x,
isnt actually 20, because 2x = 20, so x is actually
10 M
* Important: Do NOT forget about the powers
in the Kc computation.
* Its a REACTION QUOTIENT, Q, if youre
solving with non-equilibrium concentrations.
Le Chateliers Principle
1. Changes in concentration: proceed toward
direction to lessen stress
2. Changes in volume and pressure
volume or pressure: toward lower
number of molecules
volume or pressure: toward greater
number of molecules
3. Changes in temperature: treat temperature as a
part of the reaction. (endothermic, reactant while
exothermic, product)
Partial Pressures
Recall:

Note: Only gaseous reactant/products will be
included in the computation.
Relationship between Kc and Kp
= ()
= ()
Where Kp is the equilibrium constant in terms of
partial pressure, Kc is the equilibrium constant in
terms of concentration, R is the gas constant,
0.08206 L atm/mol, T is the temperature and n
is mol gaseous products mol gaseous reactants.
Problem Solving Tips
* Dont waste time doing a long cut if you can just
relate the Kc and the Kp.
* You usually use this when you want an easy way
of converting between Kc and Kp.

* Dont get confused. Use the respective

equilibrium constant based on the unit you chose
for your ICE table.
* Remember: Kp only involves gaseous
substances.
Relationship between Go and the Equilibrium Constant
Remember: Go is defined as the standard free
energy change at standard conditions (1 M, 1
ATM)
= + ln
Where R is the gas constant, 8.314 J/mol k, T is
the absolute temperature, and Q is the reaction
quotient.
At equilibrium, where Go = 0 and Q = K
= ln

Ionic Equilibria: Acids and Bases

Definitions:
1. Arrhenius:
acid: contains H, produces H+
base: contains OH group, produces OH2. Brnsted-Lowry:
acid: proton donor
base: proton acceptor
3. Lewis:
acid: electron pair acceptor
base: electron pair donor
4. Amphoteric: can behave as an acid or base
5. Amphiprotic: can behave as an acid or a base in
a proton transfer reaction
Relative Strengths (Binary Acids)
* Down a group: in size; in energy to break Hbond (electronegativity) = acidity
* Across a period: in energy to break H-bond
(electronegativity) = acidity
Relative Strengths (Ternary Acids)
* hydroxides of nonmetals the produce H3O+ in
water
* acidity of acids with same central elements
increase with the increase in oxidation state of
central element and increase in oxygen atoms

Problem Solving Tips:
Step 1: Identify the concentrations at equilibrium
using the ICE table
Step 2: Set-up the equilibrium constant equation
using the equilibrium values with variables
Step 3: If the denominator is (something x), you
can check if you can disregard the x by seeing if
the following is satisfied
/
> 1000
/
Step 4: Solve for x using the quadratic formula or
a solver
Step 5: Eliminate extraneous solution by checking
for negative concentration values through
substitution in the ICE table.
Step 6: Solve for what is being asked
Remember: Dont make any long cuts. Think of
the fastest way you can arrive at the solution
before inputting data to save time.

Dealing with Polyprotic Acids and Bases
* Dont panic. Figure out the starting ions present
in the solution. Make sure that youre using the
right dissociation constants for your calculations.
* You will have to use multiple ICE tables. To
save time, always check if x can be disregarded.
* Make sure that you adjust the concentrations of
hydronium/hydroxide ions after the first ICE
table.
* Make sure you answer the question properly.
