3. Hydrogen Bonding(Strongest)
LDF(van der waals interaction)
All molecules have LDF(Polar or not), attractive force caused by an induced dipole(non-polar molecules only have LDF)
No separation of charge, but opposite charges between molecules still attract. Therefore, temporary induced dipole.
Dipole-Dipole Interactions(Polar Molecules Only)
Separation of charge, one part partially positive and one part partially negative.
Positive Dipole attracted to negative dipole.
Hydrogen Bonding, Not a Bond, strong attraction between a Hydrogen that is covalently bonded to an O/N/F and a Second Molecule containing an O/N/F.

How IMFs affect physical properties(boiling point & viscosity)(solubility & miscibility)(ion dipole effect/interactions)
Boiling Point: Temperature(Measurement of Heat(Energy)) The Stronger/more IMFs a Molecule has, the Higher the Boiling Point.
H2O: LDF, D-D, H-Bond, 212F
H2S: LDF, D-D, Not H-Bond, 76F
Viscosity: Resistance to Flow. The Stronger/More IMFs in a Molecule, the Higher the viscosity.
Size and Shape of Molecules impacts IMFs, specifically LDF.

2-Methybutane: CH3-CH2-CH(-CH3)-CH3, BP of 28 C.
2-2-Dimethypropane: C surrounding by 4 CH3, BP of 9 C.
Impacted by Surface area, all are Non-Polar without H-bonds.
Solubility: Solid and Liquid. If soluble, Solid dissolved in the Liquid. NaCl(s) + H2O(l) -> NaCl(aq). If not, does not dissolve. Like Dissolves Like i.e. Polar Liquid Dissolves Polar Solid and opposite is true.
Miscibility: Liquid and Liquid. If miscible, Uniform Solution. If not, Immiscible, separated. Like mixes Like. Same as above.
In chemistry, we call Ionic Compounds Salts. NaCl = Table Salt. LiCl, NaBr, NaI, etc etc. Ionic Compounds/Salts are Soluble in Polar substances.
Ion-Dipole Interaction, Salts ionize in polar substances. H2O - NaCl. Say we have a lot of water. When NaCl or any salt in water, it breaks up into Na+ and Cl-. They find the negatively and positively charged parts of the water and go there.

3g of Mg, need MgO, from g to mol to mol to g, using molar mass and mol-mol ratio.
3/24.31g * 40.30g/mol = 4.97g of MgO
2.20/31.98g * 2 * 40.30g/mol = 5.54g MgO
Magnesium is the Limiting Reactant.
Can only produce 4.97 MgO
4.5/4.97 * 100 = 91%
.23g of unreacted O2.
5g of H reacts with 17g of N to form 15.5 of NH3 is produced.
3H2 +N2 = 2NH3
5/2.02 * 2/3 * (14.007 + 3*1.0080) = 28.1 g of NH3
17/28.014 * 2 * (14.007 + 3*1.0080) = 20.7 g of NH3
Nitrogen is the limiting reactant
TY: 20.7
PY: 15.5/20.7 * 100 = 74.9%
20.7*1/17.04 * 3/2 * 2.016 = 3.68g of H2.
5-3.68=1.32g of excess H2.
Ca(OH)2 neutralizes HCl to produce CaCl2 and H2O
Ca(OH)2 + 2HCl = CaCl2 + 2H2O
13.2g reacts with 10ml of 6M HCl Solution
13.2/(40.078+32.98+2.02) * 1/1 * (40.078+(2*35.453)) = 20.g
10/1000 * 6.00 * 1/2 * (40.078+(2*35.453)) = 3.3g
HCl is the limiting reactant, Ca(OH)2 is the excess.
3.3*1/(40.078+(2*35.453)) * 74.08 = 2.2g of excess Calcium Hydroxide.
Empirical formula: formula of a substance with the smallest integer subscripts
molecular formula: formula of how the substance actually exists. Some whole number multiple of the empirical formula.
C6H12O6, Molecular Formula
CH2O, Empirical Formula
Whole number integer: Mf/Ef in terms of molar mass.
Solve for Mf from Ef.
Benzene has e. formula of CH, molecular weight(Mm of Mf) is 78.1 g/mol, what is Mf of Benzene
12.01+1.01 = 13.02
78.1/13.02 = ~6
C6H6
percent composition: mass percentage of each element in a compound
Hexamethylene: 62.1% Carbon, 13.8% Hydrogen, 24.1% Nitrogen.
What is the Ef of Hexamethylene?
Assume 100g, convert % to g
convert g to mol
divide by smallest # of mol to get subscripts
62.1g of C, 13.8g of H, 24.1g of N
5.171, 13.69, 1.720
divide all 3 by 1.720
3,8,1
C3H8N1
Sodium Pyrophosphate
34.5% Na, 23.37% P, 42.1% O
34.5 g of Na, 23.3% g of P, 42.1% g of O
34.5/22.98, 23.3/30.96, 42.1/15.999
