Predicting Products of Chemical Reactions

Picture
Mr. Lee says: The Activity (Reactivity) Series allows us to see which elements are "stronger" or more reactive, and that can replace other elements in reactions. The higher an element is on the chart, the more reactive it is. This means it is likely able to "kick out" an element that is in a compound. We see this clearly with single replacement reactions. 

Adding pure magnesium to a solution of HCl will produce a single-replacement reaction (giving magnesium chloride and hydrogen gas) because Mg is more reactive than H, so Mg will kick H out of the compound, and take its place.

Gas Laws & Pressure

+ Kinetic Energy
First of all: Indirect (A1B1=A2B2) vs. Direct (C1/D1=C2/D2) Proportions
Second of all: The Kinetic Molecular Theory (KMT)
Third of all: Pressure and Pressure Units: atm, kPa, torr, and mmHg
   1 atm = 101.3 kPa
​   1 torr = 1 mmHg
   1 atm = 760 torr = 760 mmHg
Pressure Units and Conversions: atm, kPa, torr, and mmHg
Avogadro's Gas Law
Picture
.  Pressure and Volume: Boyle's Law (constant temperature) (Tyler DeWitt)
​
    The term for constant temperature is isothermic. Iso- means "same" or "one" and -thermic means temperature. The animation to the left represents Boyle's Law. For a gas, the relationship between P and V is inverse. 
Boyle's Law (Brightstorm)
Boyle's Law (Socratica)
Picture
 Volume and Temperature: Charles' Law (constant pressure) (Tyler DeWitt)
    The term for constant pressure is isobaric. -baric means pressure. The animation to the left represents Charles' Law. For a gas, the relationship between V and T is direct.
Charles' Law (Brightstorm)
Charles' Law (Socratica)

Pressure and Temperature: Guy-Lussac's Law (constant volume) (Tyler DeWitt)
    The term for constant volume is isovolumetric. The animation to the left represents Gay-Lussac's law. For a gas, the relationship is direct between P and T.

The Ideal Gas Law:  PV=nRT

The Ideal Gas Law (Crash Course)
The Ideal Gas Law: PV=nRT
The Ideal Gas Law: Where does "R" come from, and which one do I use?
(The "R" you use depends on the pressure only!)
   If you have atm, use 0.0821  atm L / (mol K)
   If you have kPa, use 8.314  kpa L / (mol K)
   If you have torr (or mmHg), it's easiest to just convert the torr or mmHg to atm and use 0.0821  
atm L / (mol K)

Gases in Motion: Gas Effusion/Diffusion; Kinetic Molecular Theory

Lighter gases move from one area to another more quickly (on average) than heavier gases. The relationship is non-linear, but rather it is an inverse-square proportion, according to the equation for kinetic energy.
