Introduction to fundamental concepts of chemistry
Define the following terms:

Chemistry www.citycollegiate.com
Chemistry is the branch of science which deals with the properties, composition and
structure of matter. Study of chemistry also includes the laws and principles related to
the structure and inter-relations of elements and compound.
Chemistry has the task of investigating the materials of which our universe is made.
Chemistry investigates chemical changes, conditions under which chemical changes
occur. Chemistry also deals with the way in which similar changes can be brought about
in laboratory and on a large scale in industries.
Chemistry is a very vast field. Chemistry is divided into a number of branches such as
Organic chemistry, Inorganic chemistry, Physical chemistry, biochemistry, Applied
chemistry, Nuclear chemistry etc.
Significant Figures
Significant figures are the reliable digits in a number or measurement
which are known with certainty.
Significant figures show the accuracy in measurements. We can understand the
precision of a measurement if we know exactly the significant figures in the
measurement.
A measurement that contains more number of significant figures is more accurate than
a measurement that contains less number of Significant figures.
For example:Radius of a bob is 3.3679 cm and that of the other is 3.36 cm. In this
situation the first measurement is the most accurate as it has more number of
significant figures.
Rules Of Significant Figures www.citycollegiate.com
In order to determine significant figures in a number we must follow the following rules:
(1) All the non-zero digits are significant figures.
For Example:
3.456 has four significant figures.
12.3456 has six significant figures.
0.34 has two significant figures.
(2) Zeros between non-zero digits are significant.
For Example:
2306 has four significant figures.
20,0894 has six significant figures.
(3) Zeros locating the position of decimal in numbers of magnitude less than one are
not significant.
For Example:
0.2224 has only one significant figures.
0.0000034 has two significant figures.
(4) Final zeros to the right of the decimal point are significant.
For Example:
3.0000 has five significant figures.
1002.00 has six significant figures.
(5) Zeros that locate decimal point in numbers greater than one are not significant.
For Example:
30000 has only one significant figure.
120000 has two significant figures.
Rules Of Rounding Off Data www.citycollegiate.com
Rule # 1:
If the digit to be dropped is greater than 5, then add "1" to the last digit to be retained
and drop all digits farther to the right.
For example:
3.677 is rounded off to 3.68 if we need three significant figures in measurement.
3.677 is rounded off to 3.7 if we need two significant figures in measurement.
Rule # 2:
If the digit to be dropped is less than 5, then simply drop it without adding any number
to the last digit.
For example:
6.632 is rounded off to 6.63 if we need three significant figures in measurement.
Rule # 3:
If the digit to be dropped is exactly 5 then:
(A) If the digit to be retained is even, then just drop the "5".
For example:
3.4665 is rounded off to 6.466 if we need four significant figures in measurement.
(B) If the digit to be retained is odd, then add "1" to it.
For example:
3.4675 is rounded off to 6.468 if we need four significant figures in measurement.
Remember: Zero is an even number
Use of significant figures in
www.citycollegiate.com
addition and subtraction
In addition and subtraction we consider the significant figures on the right side of
decimal point. This
means that only as many digits are to be retained to the right side of decimal point as
the number with fewest digits to the right of the decimal point.
For example:
4.345 + 23.5 =27.845 (actual answer by using calculator)
Answer after rounding off: 27.8
Use of significant figures in
multiplication and division
In multiplication and division , the number obtained after calculation of two or more
numbers must have
no more significant figure than that number used in multiplication or division.
For example:
4.3458 x 2.7 =11.73366(actual answer by using calculator)
Answer after rounding off: 12(because 2.7 has only two significant figures)
Error
An error is defined as:
"The difference between the measured value and the actual value."
If two persons use the same instrument for measurement for finding the same
measurement, it is not essential that they may get the same results. There may arises a
difference between their measurements. This difference is referred to as an "ERROR".
Types Of Error
Errors can be divided into three categories:
(1) Personal Error
(2) Systematic Error
(3) Random Error
Personal Error www.citycollegiate.com

An error comes into play because of faulty procedure adopted by by the observer is called
"PERSONAL ERROR".
Personal error comes into existence due to making an error in reading a scale. It is due to
faulty procedure adopted by the person making measurement.
Systematic Error
The type of error arises due to defect in the measuring device is known as "SYSTEMATIC
ERROR"
Generally it is called "ZERO ERROR". it may be positive or negative error. Systematic error
can be removed by correcting measurement device.
Random Error
The error produced due to sudden change in experimental conditions is called "RANDOM
ERROR".
For example:
During sudden change in temperature, change in humidity, fluctuation in potential
difference(voltage).
It is an accidental error and is beyond the control of the person making measurement.
Atomic Mass www.citycollegiate.com

Atomic mass is defined as :
"The mass of one atom of the element compared with the mass of one atom of C 12"
Atomic mass is a ratio therefore it has no unit. Generally atoms mass is expressed in
ATOMIC MASS UNIT(a.m.u).
One atomic mass unit is equal to 1/12 of the mass of a C 12 atom.
Empirical Formula
"Empirical Formula is that formula which expresses the relative number
of each kind of atoms present in the molecule of a compound"
OR
"The formula of a compound which expresses the ratio in which atoms of
different elements are combined in a molecule"
Empirical formula only indicates atomic ratios but it does not indicate actual number of
atoms of different kinds present in the molecule of a compound.
Two or more compound may have same empirical formula.
Empirical formula is determined by experiment.
Molecular Formula www.citycollegiate.com
The molecular formula of a compound is defined as:
"The formula of a compound which not only expresses the relative number of atoms of each
kind but also expresses the actual number of atoms of each element present in one
molecule".
Molecular formula and empirical formula of a compound are related as:
MOLECULAR FORMULA = (EMPIRICAL FORMULA) n
Where "n" is an integer and is given by:
n = molecular mass of compound / Empirical formula mass of compound
Molecular formula of propane = C3H8.
Molecular formula of sugar = C12H22O11.
Limiting Reactant
The limiting reactant is defined as:
" The substance which produces least amount of products when it is
completely consumed in a chemical reaction".
Introduction to fundamental concepts of chemistry

Define the following terms:
Mole www.citycollegiate.com
"The atomic mass or molecular mass of a substance expressed in grams is called mole".
OR
A mole may also be defined as
" the gram atomic mass or gram molecular mass or gram formula mass
of a substance that contains 6.02 x 1023 particles."
OR
"The mass in grams of the atoms or molecules or ions which contains
Avogadro's number of particles i.e. 6.02 x 1023 particles."
For example:
(1) Atomic mass of Carbon = 12 a.m.u.
Therefore 12 gram of carbon = 1 mole of carbon.
(2) molecular mass of nitrogen = 28 a.m.u.
Therefore 28 gram of nitrogen = 1 mole of nitrogen.
(3) Formula mass of NaCl = 58.5 a.m.u.
Therefore 58.5 gram of NaCl = 1 mole of NaCl.
Mole is denoted by "n".
Formula www.citycollegiate.com
Number of moles of substance = mass of substance (in grams) / molecular mass or
atomic mass or formula mass
Avogadro's Number
One mole of any substance contains equal number of particles (atoms or molecules or
ions).Value of this number is 6.02 x 1023. This constant value or number is referred to as
"AVOGADRO'S NUMBER"
For example:
One mole of hydrogen = 6.02 x 1023 molecule of hydrogen.
One mole of sodium = 6.02 x 1023 sodium of hydrogen.
One mole of Ca+2 = 6.02 x 1023 ions of Ca+2.
It is denoted by "NA".
Stoichiometry www.citycollegiate.com
Stoichiometry refers to chemical calculations.
Stoichiometry is defined as:
"The quantitative relationship among the reactants and products in a balanced chemical
equation".
Assumption of Stoichiometric
Calculations
There are two important assumptions for stoichiometric calculations:
(1) Reactants are completely converted into products.
(2) No supplementary or side-reactions occur.
Suppose we want to calculate the mass of CO2 formed when a given mass of carbon
burns in air.
The reaction is:
C + O2  CO2
In actual practice, it is possible that we get less amount of CO2 than the calculated mass
of CO2.This is because that the given mass of carbon can also form CO in addition to CO
2.
2C + O2  2CO
This means that we have to avoid the formation of carbon monoxide.
Types of stoichiometric calculations
Stoichiometric calculations can be divided into three categories.
(1) Mass - Mass Relationship
(2) Mass - Volume Relationship
(3) Volume - Volume Relationship
Gay-Lussac's Law Of Combining
Volume
According to Gay-Lussac's Law Of Combining Volume:
"Gases react in the ratio of small whole numbers by volume under
similar conditions of temperature and pressure".
For example:
Nitrogen and hydrogen react to form ammonia gas.
N2 + 3H2  2NH3

.Three States of Matter
Definitions
Ideal gas
An ideal gas is a hypothetical (imaginary) gas, which has no existence. Ideal gas obeys
all gas laws at all temperatures and pressures. There is no force of attraction or
repulsion between the molecules of an ideal gas. Molecules of ideal gas occupy no
space.
Real gas
Gases that exist are real gases such as Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen, He, Ne, F 2, CO2,
CO etc. Real gases do not obey gas laws at all temperatures and pressures. Real gases
deviate from ideal behavior at high pressure and low temperature. There exists small
force of attraction between the molecules of real gases.
S.T.P
S.T.P: stands for "STANDARD TEMPERATURE AND PRESSURE"
The volume of a gas changes with temperature and pressure. Therefore it is not
completely defined unless temperature and pressure of the gas are specifically
mentioned.
In order to compare different gases, volume of gases must be at a standard set of
conditions of temperature and pressure.
The melting point of ice i.e. 0 0C or 273 K and the average pressure of atmosphere at
sea level i.e. 1.00 atmosphere or 760 torr are the standard conditions of temperature
and pressure.
Pressure
Force per unit area is called PRESSURE.
P = F/A
UNITS:
· Atmosphere
· cm of Hg
· Torr
· mm of Hg
· N/m2 or Pascal
· Psi or pound per square inch
Conversions of Pressure in different units:
1 atmosphere = 76 cm of Hg
1 atmosphere = 760 torr or mm of Hg
1 atmosphere = 1.01 X 105 N/m2 OR Pascal
1 atmosphere = 14.7 psi
Sublimation
Some solid substances on heating directly converted in gaseous state without passing
through liquid state. This phenomenon is called as SUBLIMATION.
In the light of K.M.T the intermolecular forces in these solids (such as NH4Cl, Camphor,
Naphthalene, Iodine) is less than ordinary solids. Therefore high energy molecules at
solid surface overcome the attraction forces and directly pass into vapours.
Molar Volume
At S.T.P volume of one mole of any gas is 22.4dm3. This volume is referred to as "Molar
Volume".
Or
A 0 0C & 1 atmosphere volume of one mole of any gas is 22.4dm3. This volume is called
"Molar Volume"
Anisotropy
The crystalline substances which show variable intensity of physical properties in
different directions are known ANISOTROPES and the phenomenon is called
ANISOTROPY. For example:
1) Mica can be cleaved easily parallel to its plane but difficult to cut perpendicular
to its plane.
2) Graphite conduct electricity parallel to its plane but it can not conduct
electricity perpendicular to its plane.
KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY OF GASES

MAIN
POSTULATES
Main postulates of kinetic molecular theory of gases are as under:
A gas consists of very small microscopic particles called 'molecules'. Depending
upon the nature of gas each gas molecule may consists of an atom or group of
atoms. Molecules are in a state of continuous motion.
All the molecules of a gas are in stable state and are considered identical.
Any finite volume of a gas consists of very large number of molecules.

At S.T.P. there are 3 x 1025 molecules in a cubic meter.
The molecules are wide separated from each other as compared to their own
dimensions.
The diameter of a molecule is about 3 x 10-10 meter.
Gas molecules move in straight line in all possible directions (random movement)
with various
speeds.
Gas molecules collide with each other and with the walls of container. There
collisions are perfectly elastic in nature.
Gas molecules when collide with the walls of container, they transfer their
momentum which appears as pressure of gas.
Molecules of an ideal gas exert no force of attraction or repulsion on one another
except during collision.
The average kinetic energy of gas molecules is directly proportional to absolute
temperature.
At a given temperature, the molecules of all gases have the same kinetic energy.
Newtonian mechanics is applicable to molecular motion.

Gas laws
Boyle’ѕ law
Introduction
Boyle’s law is a quantitative relationship between volume and pressure of a gas at
constant temperature.
Statement
"The volume of a given mass of a gas is inversely proportional to pressure if
temperature remains constant ". Mathematical representation of Boyle’s law
According to Boyle’s law
V  1/P
V= (constant)(1/P)
PV=constant
At P1 pressure
P1V1 = constant ------------------(1)
At P2 pressure
P2V2 = constant ------------------(2)
Comparing (1) & ( 2)
P 1V 1 = P 2V2
.
Second statement
"At constant temperature, the product of pressure and volume of a gas
remains constant "
Graphical representation of Boyle’s law
Graph between P & V at constant temperature is a smooth curve known as "parabola"
Graph between 1/P & V at constant temperature is a straight line.

Charles law
Introduction
It is quantitative relation between volume and absolute temperature of a gas at
constant pressure.
Statement
"The volume of a given mass of a gas at constant pressure is directly
proportional to absolute temperature"
Second statement
"The volume of a given mass of a gas increases or decreases by 1/273 times of

it’s original volume at 0 0C for every degree fall or rise of temperature at given
pressure."

Mathematical representation
Let the volume of a gas at T Kelvin is V

Then according to Charles’s law
VT
V = (constant) T
V/T = constant
At T1 k
V1/T1 = k ---------------(1)
At T2 k
V2/T2 = k ---------------(2)
Thus
V1/T1 = V2/T2
Third statement
By using above equation ,Charles’s law can also be stated as:
"The ratio of volume to absolute temperature of a gas at given pressure is

always constant"
Graphical representation
Graph between Volume and absolute temperature of a gas at constant pressure is a

"straight line"
Absolute scale of temperature or absolute zero

If the graph between V and T is extra plotted, it intersects T-axis at -273.16 0C At -
273.16 0C volume of any gas theoretically becomes zero as indicated by the graph.
But practically volume of a gas can never become zero. Actually no gas can achieve the
lowest possible temperature and before -273.16 0C all gases are condensed to liquid.
This temperature is referred to as absolute scale or absolute zero. At -273.16 0C all
molecular motions are ceased.

Explanation in the Light of Kinetic Molecular Theory

Q) explain diffusibility of gases in term of K.M.T.
According to Kinetic molecular theory:
The molecules of a gas are widely separated from each other and there are large empty
spaces due to which molecules move freely. Due to this free movement gas molecules
intermix with each other very quickly and diffuse very fast.
FOR MORE DETAILS ON DIFFUSION CLICK HERE
Q) Define compressibility of a gas in the light of K.M.T.
According to Kinetic Molecular Theory there are large empty spaces between molecules of
gas. When pressure is applied on a gas, molecules of gas come close to each other and the
volume of gas is reduced. That’s why gases can be compressed to large extend.
Q) Explain diffusibility of liquids in terms of K.M.T.

In term of K.M.T in liquid molecules are close to each other and diffusion takes place slowly.
In liquids molecules move freely. This free movement of molecules is responsible for the
diffusion of liquid.
Q) Explain compressibility of liquids in terms of K.M.T.
In the light of K.M.T the liquid molecules due to their closeness roll over one and other. Due
to very little space between the molecules, the liquid molecules can not be pushed close to
each other by applying pressure. However at very high pressure a liquid can be compressed
to very small extend.
Q) Explain compressibility of solids in terms of K.M.T.
According to K.M.T, there are very strong forces of attraction between the molecules of a
solid and there is no space between two molecules. Due to this reason solids are completely
incompressible. If we apply high pressure on a solid it will not compress but it will deform.
Q) Explain diffusibility of solids in terms of K.M.T.
In terms of K.M.T, there are very strong force of attraction between the molecules of a solid
and there is no space among molecules. But there exists vibratory motion in the molecules
of solid. This vibratory motion of molecules is responsible for the diffusion of solids. Since
force of attraction are very large therefore diffusion in solids takes place with very negligible
speed
Scientific Reasons
Q1) Steam produces severe burns, then boiling water, although both have same
temperature.
Both steam and boiling water have the same temperature i.e. 100 oC. But heat content of
steam is greater than the boiling water because latent heat of steam is 2.26 x 10 5 J/kg
.That’s why steam produces severe burn as compared to boiling water.
Q2) evaporation causes cooling.
Temperature is the measurement of average kinetic energy of molecules. As liquid

evaporates, high kinetic energy molecules escape from the liquid and lowers the average
kinetic energy molecules remain in the liquid. Due to this reason temperature falls down
Q3) In mountain areas food takes longer time to cook.
Boiling point of a liquid depends on the outer atmospheric pressure.At normal atmospheric
pressure boiling point of water is 100 0C. on mountain areas such as Quetta and Swat,
atmospheric pressure is below 760 torr. Due to this reason B.P of water decreases and food
takes longer time to cook.
Q4) Glycerin distilled at 290 0C but it decompose at this temperature, how would
you distilled it?
At 760 torr, B.P of glycerin is 290 0C but at 290 0C temperature glycerine evaporates and it
become difficult to distill it. In order to overcome this difficulty it is distilled at 50 torr . At
50 torr it’s B.P decreases to 210 0C. At 210 0C it does not decompose and distiledl easily.
Q5) Evaporation of a liquid is accelerated on heating?
Rate of evaporation increases with the increase in temperature because on heating kinetic
energy of molecules becomes high enough to overcome intermolecular forces of attraction.
Thus number of molecules leaving the liquid surface is increased. So the rate of evaporation
increases on heating
Q6) Falling drop of liquid is spherical.
Falling drop of a liquid is always spherical in shape due to surface tension. The inward forces
on the surface molecules of the liquid droplet tend to cause the surface to volume ratio as
small as possible. Since surface to volume ratio is minimum for the spherical shape that’s
why falling drop of a liquid is spherical.
Q7) Under similar conditions surface tension of water is higher than the surface
tension of ether.
Surface tension depends upon the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction. Water has
higher surface tension due to polar nature of its molecules. In water there exist hydrogen
bond as compared to ether, which is non-polar and has no hydrogen bond. We know that
hydrogen bond increases intermolecular attraction. Consequently water has high surface
tension.
Difference between Amprphous Solids and Crystalline Solids
Amprphous Solids Crystalline Solids

1. Solids that don't have definite
They have characteristic geometrical shape

5. Amorphous solids don't break at fixed Crystalline solids cleavage along particular
cleavage planes. direction at fixed cleavage planes.
VAPOUR PRESSURE........
Pressure exerted by the vapour of a liquid at equilibrium is called "Vapour

Pressure" of that liquid.
OR
Pressure exerted by the vapours of a liquid when rate of evaporation is and the
rate of condensation becomes equal is called "Vapour Pressure".
· Different liquids have different vapor pressure under similar conditions.
· Vapour pressure varies with temperature.
· At elevated temperature, vapor pressure also increases

Q) Evaporation is a cooling process, explain.
We know that evaporation takes place at all temperatures and pressure. But only those
molecules escape from the liquid those high kinetic energies. As a result only those
molecules remains that posses low energy. Since K.E is directly related to temperature,
we feel a cooling effect due to evaporation.
BOILING POINT
The temperature at which the vapour pressure of a liquid becomes equal to

atmospheric pressure is called BOING PONT. At this temperature a liquid starts
boiling.
Boiling point of liquid varies with atmospheric pressure. If atmospheric pressure is less
then 760 torr then the boiling point of a liquid will decrease from its standard boiling
point.
Boiling point of a liquid decreases with the decrease in pressure and vice versa
Normal boiling point

Boiling point of a liquid when atmospheric pressure is 1.00 atmp or 760 torr is referred to
as NORMAL BOILING POINT.
VISCOSITY.........
Viscosity is characteristic property of liquid, viscosity describes the flow of a

liquid.
Definition:
Viscosity is defined as the resistance in the flow of a liquid Or
Internal friction present between two layers of a liquid
which resists the flow of liquid is commonly known as Viscosity.
· A liquid with high viscosity is thick and flows slowly.
· A liquid with low viscosity is thin and flows quickly.
· Different liquids have different viscosities.
FACTORS AFFECTING VISCOSITY
Size of molecules
Viscosity of a liquid having large molecules is high whereas the viscosity of
those liquids that have small molecules is low.
Shape of molecules
Spherical molecules provide resistance but oval shaped or disc like molecules
provide greater resistance in the flow of liquid. That’s why viscosity of liquids
having spherical molecules is low.
Inter molecular forces
Liquids having large inter molecular forces have greater viscosity.
Temperature
Viscosity of liquid decreases with increase in temperature. Because an increase
in temperature, reduces the forces of attraction between molecules.
Units:
· Most common unit is "POISE"
· Small unit is "CENTI POISE"
· In S.I system unit is N.S/m2
Conversion factors
1Centipoise = 10-3 NS/m2 or 0.001 NS/m2
SURFACE TENSION
Surface tension is a characteristic property of a liquid.
Definition:
"Perpendicular force acting on the unit length of the surace of a liquid is called
SURFACE TENSION".
Surface tension = force/length
g = F/L
2nd definition:
"Energy per unit area on the surface of a liquid is called SURFACE TENSION"
s = energy /area
Unit of surface tension
· N/m (in S.I system)
· Dyne/cm (in C.G.S system)
· Joule/m2 (in S.I system)
· Erg/cm2 (in C.G.S system)
FACTORS AFFECTING SURFACE TENSION
Inter molecular forces
If force of attraction between molecules is high then surface tension will also be
high.
Hydrogen bonding
Liquids that have H-bond such as water, have high values of surface tension.
Temperature
Surface tension of a liquid decreases with the increase in temperature because
an increase in temperature, reduces force of attraction between molecules.
Properties of Solid..........
LATENT HEAT OF FUSION
Latent heat of fusion is defined as:
The amount of heat required to melt unit mass of solid substance at its melting point.
It is denoted by Hf.
Unit:
Its unit is
J/Kg ,
erg/gm
Formula: Q=m x Hf
Where
m= mass of solid
Q= amount of heat
UNIT CELL Crystals made of very small basic patterns or arrangements of atoms or
molecules or
ions.These basic patterns are joined together to form a crystal.Theses basic patterns are
known
as "UNIT CELL". All the unit cell of a crystal are identical.
Characteristics of unit cell
A unit cell has a definite shape.
Length of edges of a unit cell are definite.
Angle between the edges are definite.
All unit cells of a substance always contain equal numbers of atoms or

molecules or ions.
Cell parameters
Length of edges (axes) and the angle between the edges are collectively known as "Cell
Parameters".

POLYMORPHISM
Existence of substance into more than one crystalline forms is known as
"POLYMORPHISM".
In other words: Under different conditions of temperature and pressure, a substance
can form more than one type of crystals. This phenomenon is called Polymorphism
and different crystalline forms are known as ‘POLYMORPHICS’
Example:

Polymorphous substances have similar chemical properties but different physical

properties.

physical forms. This phenomenon is known as Allotropy and different forms are known
as "Allotropes"
Example:
Coal, lamp black, coke, Diamond, graphite etc. are all allotropic forms of carbon.
ISOMORPHISM
Existence of different substances in one crystalline form is known as "ISOMORPHISM"
Or
Different substances may exist in identical crystalline forms. This phenomenon is called

These substances have low melting point and boiling point.
Generally they are volatile (evaporates)
DALTON'S LAW OF PARTIAL PRESSURE

PARTIAL PRESSURE
In a mixture of different gases which do not react chemically each gas behaves
independently of the other gases and exerts its own pressure. This individual pressure
that a gas exerts in a mixture of gases is called it's partial pressure.
DALTON'S LAW OF PARTIAL
PRESSURE
Based on this behaviour of gases, JOHN DALTON formulated a basic law which is known
as "The Dalton's law of partial pressure" .
The law states that:

"If two or more gases (which do not react with each other) are enclosed in a vessel,
the total pressure exerted by them is equal to the sum of their partial
pressure".
MATHEMATICAL
REPRESENTATION
Consider a mixture of three non-reacting gases a , b and c .Partial pressures of these
gases are Pa ,Pb and Pc .According to Dalton's law of partial pressure, their total
pressure is given by:
Ptotal = Pa + Pb + Pc
DALTON'S LAW IN THE LIGHT
OF KINETIC MOLECULAR
THEORY
According to kinetic molecular theory of gases there is no force of attraction or repulsion
among the gas molecules. Thus each gas behaves independently in a mixture and exerts
it's own pressure.
In terms of KINETIC MOLECULAR THEORY, Dalton's law of partial pressure can be
explained as:
"In a non-reacting mixture of gases, each gas exerts separate pressure on the
container in which it is confined due to collision of it's molecules with the walls
of container.
The total pressure exerted by the gaseous mixture is equal to
the sum of collisions of the molecules of individual gas ."
EXPRESSION FOR PARTIAL
PRESSURE
Consider a gaseous mixture of three different gases a , b and c enclosed in a container
of volume Vdm3 at T Kelvin. Let the partial pressures of these gases are Pa ,Pb and Pc
respectively and total pressure of mixture is Pt. Let there are na ,nb and nc moles of
each gas respectively and the total number of

moles are nt.
Three gases confined in a cylinder under similar conditions:

Using equation of state of gas:
PV = nRT
OR
P = nRT/V
For gas a
Pa = naRT/V--------------- (i)
For gas b
Pb = naRT/V--------------- (ii)
For gas c
Pc = ncRT/V--------------- (iii)
For any
gas
Pgas = ngasRT/V
OR
---------(a)
Adding equation (i) , (ii) and (iii), we get,
Pt = naRT/V + nbRT/V + ncRT/V
Pt = (na + nb + nc)RT/V
OR
But nt = na + nb + nc
Pt = nt RT/V
Comparing equation (a) and (b), we get,
This expression indicates that the pressure of a gas is proportional to number of moles if
confined under similar conditions.
DIFFUSION--GRAHAM'S LAW OF DIFFUSION
DIFFUSION OF GASES
Inter mixing of two or more gases to form a homogeneous mixture without any chemical
change is called "DIFFUSION OF GASES" . Diffusion is purely a physical phenomenon.
Gases diffuse very quickly due to large empty spaces among molecules. Different gases
diffuse with different rates (velocities).
GRAHAM'S LAW OF
DIFFUSION
Graham's law is a quantitative relation between the density and rate of diffusion of
gases.
STATEMENT
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of its density.
The comparative rates of diffusion of two gases are inversely proportional to the
square root of their densities.
MATHEMATICAL
REPRESENTATION OF THE
LAW
Consider two gases A and B having mass densities d1 and d2 and their rates of
diffusions are r1 and r2 respectively.
According to Graham's law of diffusion:
For gas A:
OR
..................(i)
For gas B:
OR
..................(ii)
Dividing equation (i) by equation (ii)
Since density  molecular mass, therefore, we can replace density d by Molecular mass
M.

CATHODE RAYS-DISCOVERY OF ELECTRON-DISCHARGE TUBE EXPERIMENT-

CROOK’Џ TUBE EXPERІMENT
INTRODUCTION
Gases are bad conductors of electricity. However under reduced
pressure and at high potential difference gases conduct electric current.
DISCHARGE TUBE
Discharge tube is a glass tube fitted with two electrodes placed opposite
to each other. The tube is sealed and contains a vacuum pump. The
function of vacuum pump is to reduced or change the pressure inside
the tube. The two electrodes are connected to a high voltage battery.
THE EXPERIMENT
In discharge tube experiment, at low pressure and at very high potential
difference, electric current is passed through the gas.

OBSERVATION
Under different pressure different observations were noted;
At 1cm Hg pressure:
When pressure inside the tube is reduced to 1 cm of Hg, at a potential
difference of a few thousand volts causes a spark to pass like a flash of
light.
At 1 mm Hg:
At 1 mm Hg, the tube is mostly filled with a glow extending from the
positive electrode. This is known as "positive column".
At 0.001 mm Hg:
At 0.001 m Hg, the glow disappears and the walls of the glass tube
begin to glow with a brilliant green light.
RESULT
These observations indicate that some radiation or rays are emitted
from cathode. These rays are known as "Cathode Rays".
PROPERTIES OF CATHODE

nature of gas in the tube.
e/m RATIO
Their e/m ratio was equal to that of an electron.
CONCLUSION
Different scientist tried different discharge tubes with different
electrodes and different gases but results of all the experiment gave
same value for charge to mass ratio. This shows that there is something
common in all materials. It was concluded that all the substances in
common.
DISCOVERY OF NEUTRON
CHADWICK
EXPERIMENT
Chadwick in an experiment bombarded Be with a-particles. In his
experiment he observe that some very penetrating radiations coming
out from Be. These radiations consist of material particles. Mass of these
particles was nearly equal to the mass of one hydrogen atom. Since
these particles were not deflected by magnetic or electric field ,therefore
they are named as Neutrons.

DISCOVERY OF PROTON
DISCOVERY OF
PROTON
Passage of electricity through the gases at low pressure also resulted in
the discovery of proton.During the discharge tube experiments, a
famous scientist Gold Stein observed that if a perforated cathode is
used, some radiations appear behind the cathode. Since radiations are
coming from anode, therefore, it was assumed that they must carry a
positive charge. These rays are known as Anode Rays.
PROPERTIES OF
ANODE RAYS
Anode rays travel in straight line.
They consist of material particles.
These rays contain positive charge.
These rays actually consist of positive ions of various gases used in
the experiment.

on screen coated with barium platino cyanide.
QUANTUM NUMBERS
QUANTUM NUMBERS
For complete description of an orbital in an atom, few constant numbers
are necessary. These constant numbers are necessary to describe the
position, spin, energy and orientation of an orbital in space. These are

the numbers that complete behavior of an electron in an orbital. These
numbers are known as quantum numbers.
There are four quantum numbers:
Principle quantum number (n)
Azimuthal quantum number (l)
Magnetic quantum number (m)
Spin quantum number (s)
PRINCIPLE QUANTUM
NUMBER
Principle quantum number represents the energy level of an electron. It
is denoted by 'n' .The values of principle quantum number are from 1 to
n (where n is a positive whole number i.e. n = 1,2,3,4,.........). Principle
quantum number also describes the energy of electron. It also describes
the size of orbit.
AZIMUTHAL OR
SUBSIDIARY QUANTUM
NUMBER
Azimuthal quantum number describes the shape of orbital. It is denoted
by . Values of are from zero to n-1.
For s-orbital =0
For p-orbita =1
For d-orbital =2
For f-orbital =3
With the help of the value of azimuthal quantum number we can
determine the total number of energy sub levels in a given energy level.
MAGNETIC QUANTUM
NUMBER
Magnetic quantum number indicates the orientation of an orbital in
space in an applied magnetic field . It is denoted by ‘m’.
Values of ‘m’ are from ( ) to (+ l) through zero.
Orbital l m
s 0 0
p 1 -1, 0, +1
d 2 -2, -1, 0, +1, +2
-3, -2, -1, 0, +1,
f 3
+2, +3.
SPIN QUANTUM NUMBER
Spin quantum number describes the spin of an electron in an orbital.
It is denoted by ‘s’.
It has only two possible values.

s = +1/2 , S = -1/2
s = +1/2 for clockwise spin.
s = -1/2 for anti-clockwise spin.
An electron spinning clockwise is indicated by ( ) and anti-clockwise

by ( )
ATOMIC RADIUS--IONIC RADIUS
ATOMIC RADIUS
Half of the bond length between two homonuclear atoms is called atomic
radius.
OR
The distance from the centre of the nucleus upto which it's outer most
electron is extended.
For example:
C-C bond length in diamond is 1.54Ao.
Therefore, atomic radius of C = 1.54 Ao/2
R = 0.77 Ao.
ATOMIC RADIUS IN A GROUP:
Atomic radius increases from top to bottom in a group.
Reason:
Due to addition of an energy level.
ATOMIC RADIUS IN A GROUP:
Atomic radius decreases from left to right in a period.
Reason:
Due to increase in nuclear charge.
Question: Phosphorus forms PCl5 but does not form PI5?

Answer: it a matter of atomic size of Cl-atom and I-atom. Phosphorus
reacts with chlorine to form PCl5 because chlorine atom is comparatively
smaller in size. On the other hand, atomic size of Iodine is much bigger
than that of Chlorine. That’s why 5 Iodine atoms can not be
accommodated around ‘P’ atom.
IONIC RADIUS
Ionic radius may be defined as the distance between the nucleus of an
ion and the point up to which the nucleus has influence on its electron
cloud.
Points to Remember:
A cation is always smaller than parent atom.
Reason: A cation is always smaller than parent atom because on the
removal of an electron the effective charge on the nucleus increases and
the pull of nucleus on the remaining electron increases. Since electrons

are more firmly attracted towards the nucleus that is why a reduction in
ionic size takes place.
For example:
Size of Na atom = 1.57 Ao.
Size of Na+ ion = 0.95 Ao.
An anion is always larger than parent atom.
Reason:
Anions have a larger radii than the neutral atom because an excess of
negative charge results in greater electron repulsion which causes an
expansion in electronic cloud.
Question: I.P. of Li is 5.4 and of K is 4.3 ev. What would you predict for
the I.P. of Na?
Answer: We know that I.P. decreases down the group, since Atomic size
of these three atoms are in the order of Li < Na < K, therefore, I.P. of
Na will lie between 5.4 ev and 4.3 ev.It will be less than 5.4 but greater
than 4.3 ev.
SPECTROSCOPY
SPECTROSCOPY
The branch of chemistry which deals with the study of absorption or
emission of radiation is called Spectroscopy.
SPECTRUM
When a ray of light consists of different wave lengths is passed through
a spectrometer or a prism, it is dispersed into component wave lengths
and a band of different colors is obtained which is known as spectrum.
SPECTROMETER
Spectrometer is an instrument used for spectroscopic studies. When
radiation are passed through the prism of spectrometer, they are
separated in to component wavelengths. In this way an image of
different colors is formed which is known as spectrum.
TYPES OF SPECTRA
Emission Spectra.
Absorption Spectra.
EMISSION SPECTRUM
When an element absorbs sufficient amount of energy from an electric
arc or by heating, it emits radiation. These radiation when passed
through spectrometer, spectrum so obtained is called Emission
Spectrum.
There are two types of emission spectra.
Continuous Spectrum.
Line Spectrum.
CONTINUOUS
SPECTRUM
When white light from sun or any incandescent body or lamp is passed
through a prism, it disperses into its component colors and a spectrum
is obtained known as Continuous Spectrum.A continuous spectrum is
one in which colors are diffused in one another without any line of
demorcation.
CHARACTERISTICS
Continuous Spectrum consists of seven colors.
The colors are so mixed that there is no boundary or line of demarcation
between two colors.
Examples:
Spectrum of sunlight, incandescent solids and liquids, bulb light, tube
light.
LINE SPECTRUM
When electric current is passed through a gas at low pressure, the
atoms of gas are excited and radiate light. When this light is passed
through the prism, a spectrum is obtained known as Line Spectrum.
CHARACTERISTICS
In line spectrum, every two colors are separated by a line of
demarcation.
Each spectral line has a definite wavelength.
Color of spectral line depends upon the nature of gas.

Each element produces a characteristic set of lines which is used fir
the identification of elements.
RESULTS OF
SPECTROSCOPY
Sample of same element always emit radiation of same wavelength.
Under suitable conditions an element emits only certain wavelength.
This indicates that electrons are arranged around the nucleus in
definite energy levels.
ION
If an electron or more than one electrons are added to or removed from an
atom then it becomes a negative or a positive charged particles which is
known as "ION".
CATION
If an electron or more than one electrons are removed from an atom,
it becomes a positive ion which is also known as "cation".
for example: Na+1, K+1, Ca+2, Mg+2, Al+3.
ANION
If an electron or more than one electrons are added to an atom
it becomes a negative ion which is also known as "anion".
for example: Cl-1, Br-1, O-2, N-3, F-1
IONIZATION POTENTIAL
"Amount of energy required to remove an electron from
an isolated gaseous atom is called ionization potential."
ATOM + ENERGY  CATION + ELECTRON
A + Energy  A+ + e-
UNIT:
kJ / mole
FACTORS AFFECTING IONIZATION POTENTIAL:
(i) ATOMIC SIZE (ii) NUCLEAR CHARGE (iii) SHIELDING EFFECT OF INNER
ELECTRONS
1. Big atoms have small I.P. values
2. Small atoms have high values of I.P.
3. Greater the nuclear charge , higher is the I.P. of atom.
I.P. IN A GROUP
I.P. decreases in a group from top to bottom due to increase in atomic size
from top to bottom in a group.
I.P. IN A PERIOD
I.P. increases in a period from left to right.
This increase in I.P. is due to increase in nuclear charge.
DALTON ‘S ATOMIC THEORY
Main postulates of Dalton atomic theory is as follow:

1. Matter is composed of very tiny or microscopic particles called

"Atom".
2. Atom is an indivisible particle.
3. Atom can neither be created nor it is destroyed.
4. Atoms of an element are identical in size, shape, mass and in other
properties.
5. Atoms of different elements are different in their properties.
6. Atoms combine with each other in small whole numbers.
7. All chemical reactions are due to combination or separation of atoms.
DEFECTS IN DALTON’S THEORY:
Postulate number 2, 3, 4 and 6 are not correct as described below:
DEFECT NO: 1
Atom can be divided into a number of sub-atomic particles such as
electron, proton and neutron etc.
DEFECT NO: 2
Atoms of an element may be different in their masses.
for example:
1H1, 1H2, 1H3
17Cl35, 17Cl37
DEFECT NO: 3
All compounds do not have small number of atoms.
for example:
 Decane C10H22.
 Sugar C12H22O11.
DEFECT NO: 4
Atom can be destroyed by fission process in
Atom bomb.
Nuclear reactor.
On the basis of above defects, Dalton's atomic theory has failed now.
RUTHERFORD’S ATOMIC THEORYELECTRONEGATIVITY
.
RUTHERFORD’S ATOMIC MODEL
Rutherford's atomic model shows the existence of nucleus in the atom,
nature of charge on the nucleus and the magnitude of charge on the
nucleus.
APPARATUS FOR EXPERIMENT
 Alpha particles.
 Gold foil. (0.0004 cm thick)
 Zinc sulphide screen.
 Electron Gun.
EXPERIMENT
In his experiments, Rutherford bombarded alpha particles on very thin
metallic foils such as gold foil.In order to record experimental
observations, he made use of circular screen coated with zinc sulphide.
OBSERVATIONS
He observed that most of the alpha particles were pass through the foil
undeflected.
Very few particles were deflected when passed through the foil.
One particle out of 8000 particles was deflected at 90o.
Few particles were deflected at different angles.
MAIN POINTS OF RUTHERFORD’S THEORY
Major portion of the atom is empty.
The whole mass of the atom is concentrated in the center of atom

called nucleus.
The positively charged particles are present in the nucleus of atom.
The charge on the nucleus of an atom is equal to (+z.e) where Z=

charge number, e = charge of proton.
The electrons revolve around the nucleus in different circular orbits.
Size of nucleus is very small as compare to the size of atom.

EXPLANATION OF POSTULATES
1. Since most of the alpha particles were passed through the foil
undeflected, therefore, it was concluded that most of the atom is empty.
2. Small angles of deflection indicate that positively charged alpha particles
were attracted by electrons.
3. Large angles of deflection indicate that there is a massive positively
charged body present in the atom and due to repulsion alpha particles
were deflected at large angles.
DEFECT OF
RUTHERFORD’S THEORY
There were two fundamental defects in Rutherford's atomic model:

According to classical electromagnetic theory, being a charge particle
electron when accelerated must emit energy. We know that the motion of
electron around the nucleus is an accelerated motion, therefore, it must
radiate energy. But in actual practice this does not happen. Suppose if it
happens then due to continuous loss of energy orbit of electron must
decrease continuously. Consequently electron will fall into the nucleus. But
this is against the actual situation and this shows that atom is unstable.
If the electrons emit energy continuously, they should form continuous

spectrum .But actually line spectrum is obtained
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
"Relative tendency or relative power of an atom to attract shared
pair of electrons towards itself is called ELECTRONEGATIVITY."
E.N depends upon the size of atom .
Small atoms have large values of E.N.
Big atoms have small values of E.N.
E.N decreases in a group.
E.N increases in a period.
Most Electronegatively element is "Flourine". E.N = 4
BOHR’S ATOMIC THEORY
Main postulates of Bohr’s atomic theory are:
CONSTANT ENERGY CONCEPT
Energy of an electron is constant in one of its allowed orbits. As long
as an electron remains in its orbit, it neither absorbs nor radiates
energy.
CONCEPT OF ENERGY LEVELS
Electrons revolve around the nucleus of atom in circular orbits in
which energy of electrons is constant. These circular paths are
known as "energy levels" or "stationary states".
RADIATION OF ENERGY
If an electron jumps form higher energy level to a lower energy
level, it radiates a definite amount of energy.
...
ABSORPTION OF ENERGY
If an electron jumps from lower energy level to a higher energy
level, it absorbs a definite amount of energy.
For latest information , free computer courses and high impact
notes visit : www.citycollegiate.com
..
AMOUNT OF ENERGY
Energy released or absorbed by an electron is equal to the difference
of energy of two energy levels.
Let an electron jumps from a higher energy level E2 to a lower
energy level E1.The energy is emitted in the form of light . Amount of
energy released is given by:
E = E2 - E 1
E2 - E 1 = h
Where
h = Planck's consrant ( 6.6256 x 10-34 j.s)
= Frequency of radiant light

ANGULAR MOMENTUM OF ELECTRON
Angular momentum of an electron in an energy level is given by:
m v r = nh /2
Where n =1, 2, 3, ………..
m = mass of electron
V = velocity of electron
r = radius of orbit
OR
Only those energy levels or orbits are possible for which angular
momentum of electron is an integral multiple of h /2 .
UNCERTAINTY PRINCIPLE
INTRODUCTION
In classical physics it is generally assumed that position and momentum
of a moving object can be simultaneously measured exactly i.e. no
uncertainties are involved in its description. But in microscopic world it is
not possible. It is found that however refined our instruments there is a
fundamental limitation to the accuracy with which the position and
velocity of microscopic particle can be known simultaneously. This
limitation was expressed by a German physicist Werner Heisenberg in
1927 and known as 'Heisenberg's uncertainty principle'.
STATEMENT
According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle:
It is impossible to determine both position and momentum of an
electron simultaneously.
If one quantity is known then the determination of the other quantity
will become impossible.

According to AUFBAU PRINCIPLE:
"The electrons are filled to the orbitals of lowest energy in
sequence, two electrons to each orbital."
In other words:

increasing energy of orbitals starting with the 1s orbital."
With reference to AUFBAU PRINCIPLE electronic arrangement will follow
the following order:
1s, 2s, 2p, 3s, 3p, 4s, 3d, 4p, 5s, 4d, 5p, 6s, 4f, 5d...........

ORBITAL n l (n+l)
3s 3 0 3+0 = 3
3p 3 1 3+1 = 4

HUND'S RULE OF
MAXIMUM MULTIPLICITY
According to Hund's rule of maximum multiplicity:
1. The electrons tend to avoid being in the same orbital.Thus as
the electrons are successively added, a maximum number of
electrons will try occupy orbitals singly.
.
2. When all the orbitals are singly occupied only then the pairing
of electrons commences.
.
3. In the ground state, the electrons occupying the orbitals singly
Hund's rule indicates that the electronic arrangement is
more stable than .

PAULI'S EXCLUSION
citycollegiate.com
PRINCIPLE
According to Pauli's exclusion principle:
"In an atom no two electrons can have the same set of four
quantum numbers."
Pauli's exclusion principle indicates that two electrons may have three
same quantum numbers but the fourth quantum number must be
different.
In other words Pauli's exclusion principle can also be stated as:

"An orbital can not accomodate more than two electrons i.e.
maximum
number of electrons that an orbital can accomodate is two."
EXPLANATION citycollegiate.com
EXAMPLE :
We know that 1s-orbital contains two electrons. Their set of quantum
numbers is
electro
n l m s
n
e1 1 0 0 +1/2
e2 1 0 0 -1/2
Notice that the fourth quantum number i.e. spin quantum number is
different for both electrons.
Let us suppose that 1s-orbital contains three electrons i.e. 1s 3, in this
situation:
electro
n l m s
n
e1 1 0 0 +1/2
e2 1 0 0 -1/2
e3 1 0 0 ???
Since there are only two possible values of spin quantum number,
therefore, third electron can not be accomodated in 1s-orbital.This
clearly points out that an orbital can not contain more than two
electrons. Hence by Pauli's exclusion principle, 1s2 is correct but 1s3 is
not possible.
CHAPTER NO 4
CHEMICAL BOND
Chemical bond can be defined as :
" the force of attraction between two atoms or ions that hold
them
together in a unit is called Chemical Bond".
Actually chemical bond is the main factor that makes molecules and
compounds. By the interaction
of outer electrons, great forces of attraction are developed between two
atoms. This force of
attraction is called chemical bond.
TYPES OF CHEMICAL BOND
There are three types of chemical bonds:
Ionic bond or Electrovalent bond
Covalent bond
Coordinate Covalent bond
IONIC BOND OR ELECTROVALENT BOND
Chemical bond formed between two atoms due to transfer of electron(s)
from one atom to the other
atom is called "Ionic bond" or "electrovalent bond".
EXPLANATION
In ionic bond formation one atom looses electron(s) and the other picks it
up. The atom that looses the electron acquires positive charge and the
other atom which gains the electron becomes a negatively charged
particle. Due to opposite charge an electrostatic force of attraction is setup
between them.
This force hold these atoms together in a unit. This force of attraction is
referred to as
"IONIC BOND".
FORMATION OF IONIC BOND BETWEEN Na & Cl
Electronic arrangement of Na (Z=11) is K = 2 , L = 8, M = 1

Electronic configuration of Na is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s1
It has one valence electron.
The loss of the valence electron from Na-atom 495 KJ/mole energy is
needed.
Due to low ionization potential value, Na-atom loses its valence electron
Electronic arrangement after losing an electron is K = 2, L = 8 , M = 0
Electronic configuration after losing an electron is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6 .This shows that its octet
is complete.
Na  Na+ + e- : H = 495 KJ/mole

Due to loss of one electron Na becomes Na+ -ion.
Electronic arrangement of Cl (Z=17) is K = 2, L = 8, M = 7

Electronic configuration of Cl is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 3p5.
Cl-atom needs one electron to complete its octet.
The gain of one electron by chlorine atom releases 348 KJ/mole energy.
Electron lost by Na atom picks up by Cl atom.
Electronic arrangement after acquiring an electron: K = 2, L = 8, M = 8

Electronic configuration of Cl is 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6 . This shows that its octet is also
complete.
Cl + e-  Cl- : H = -348 KJ/mole
Chlorine atom is now converted into Cl-_ion.
We know that positive and negative ions attract each other, therefore an electrostatic
force of
attraction is set up between Na+ & Cl- ions. This force unites these ions in a unit. In this
way
ionic bond is formed between Na and Cl atoms which results in the formation of sodium
chloride.
In the above two steps we clearly observe that there is a difference of energy i.e.
This shows formation of one mole of NaCl increases the energy of system by 147 KJ
/mole.
There arises a question "How this difference of energy is compensated?"

The answer to this question is that when oppositely charged ions i.e. Na+ ions & Cl - ions
attract each other and arrange themselves to form crystal lattice of NaCl which consists of
very closely packed
positive & negative ions. In NaCl crystal each Na+ ion surrounded by six Cl- ions. Similarly
each Cl- ion
is surrounded by six Na+ ions. The force of attraction between these ions in the crystal
lattice
decreases the energy of the system and making it stable.
Na+(g) + Cl-(g)  Na+Cl- (s)H = -788 KJ/mole

From above description, we conclude that for the formation of ionic bond the sum of
energies released in step-2 and step-3 must be larger than the required in step-1.
IMPORTANT:
To form a stable ionic compound , there must be a decrease in net energy.
BASIC CONDITIONS FOR THE FORMATION OF IONIC BOND
Two atoms must be different.

Ionization potential of one atom must be small.
Electron affinity of second atom must be high.
Electro negativity of second atom must be high.
Difference of E.N. between two will be greater than or equal to 1.7.
WHICH GROUP FORM IONIC BOND:
IA, IIA, IIIA Vs VIA, VIIA
PROPERTIES OF IONIC
COMPOUNDS
NON-MOLECULAR
FORM
Ionic compounds are not in molecular form. Their formula only indicates
the number of atoms. In ionic compounds each ion is surrounded by a
number of oppositely charged ions.
STATE
Due to strong binding forces ionic compounds exist in solid form.
MELTING AND
BOILING POINT
Ionic compounds have high M.P. and B.P.

HARDNESS
Due to strong attraction forces between ions, ionic compounds are very
hard.
SOLUBILITY IN WATER
Ionic compounds are soluble in water except few compounds.
SOLUBILITY IN THE
ORGANIC COMPOUNDS
They are insoluble in non-polar organic compounds.
ELECTRICAL
CONDUCTIVITY
Ionic compounds are electrolytes because they conduct electricity in
molten state and in the form of solution.
COVALENT
BOND
COVALENT BOND
Chemical bond formed between two atoms by the mutual sharing of
electrons is known as Covalent bond.
In covalent bond formation each atom provides equal number of electrons
for sharing but no transfer of electrons takes place. Each electron pair is
attracted by both the nucleus.
Chemical bond formed between two similar atoms is always a covalent bond.
Shared electrons spend much of the time between the nuclei, resulting in
the attractive forces between negative charge of electron and positive
charge of nuclei.
In actual practice shared electrons form an electronic cloud which spreads

over bonding atoms and fulfills the requirements of each atom (octet or
doublet).
REPRESENTATION
Covalent bond between two atoms is represented by a short line ( )
COVALENT BOND BETWEEN
H-ATOM AND Cl-ATOM
Consider the example of HCl molecule.
H atom has only one electron in its valance shell.

It requires one electron to complete its doublet or achieve inert gas
configuration.
Electronic configuration of Cl is K = 2 , L = 8 and M = 7.

Cl atom requires 1 electron to complete its octet shell.
Due to small difference b/w the values of E.N., electron transfer from H
or Cl is not possible.
H and Cl share one electron.
In this way without any transfer of electron both H & Cl complete their
outer shell and a stable HCl molecule is formed.
TYPES OF COVALENT BOND
There are three types of covalent bond depending upon the number of shared
electron pairs.
SINGLE COVALENT BOND
DOUBLE COVALENT BOND

TRIPLE COVALENT BOND
SINGLE COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of one electron pair between
two atoms is called a "Single Covalent bond."
It is denoted by single short line( )
Examples:
In single bond formation each atom provide one electron.

DOUBLE COVALENT BOND
A covalent bond formed between two atoms by the mutual sharing of two
electron pairs is called a "double covalent bond". It is denoted by double
short line ( )
Examples:
TRIPLE COVALENT BOND

A covalent bond formed by the mutual sharing of three electron pairs is
called a "Triple covalent bond". It is denoted by triple short line ( ).
Examples:
POLAR COVALENT BOND

A covalent bond formed between two different atoms is known as Polar
covalent bond.
For example when a Covalent bond is formed between H and Cl , it is polar
in nature because Cl is more electro negative than H atom . Therefore,
electron cloud is shifted towards Cl atom. Due to this reason a partial -ve
charge appeared on Cl atom and an equal +ve charge on H atom
Examples:
NON-POLAR COVALENT BOND

A covalent bond formed between two like atoms is known as Non-polar
bond. Since difference of electro negativity is zero therefore, both atoms
attract electron pair equally and no charge appears on any atom and the
whole molecule becomes neutral.
Examples:
H-H
Cl - Cl
F-F
IONIC CHARACTER OF COVALENT BOND
When two atoms of different elements are linked by a covalent

bond, the shared electrons are not attracted equally by the two
nuclei of bonding atoms. Due to unequal distribution of electron
cloud, one end of the molecule acquire partial positive charge and
the other end acquires equal partial negative charge.
The polarity of bond gives partial ionic character. The percentage of
partial ionic character depends upon the difference of E.N. of two
atoms join with each other through a covalent bond.
Example:
1. HCl molecule:
E.N. of H = 2.1
E.N of Cl = 3.0
Due to difference of E.N., the ability Cl-atom to attract shared pair
of electron is greater than that of
H-atom. Therefore, covalent bond in HCl has ionic character.
In HCl, covalent bond is 17% to 18% ionic.
2. HF molecule:
E.N. of H = 2.1
E.N. of F = 4.0
In this example difference of E.N. is greater as compare to HCl.
Therefore, ionic character of HF is 64%.
Ionic character of covalent compound affects properties of these
compounds. For example viscosity, M.P., B.P. of compounds having
ionic character are higher than that of non-polar compounds.
PROPERTIES OF COVALENT COMPOUNDS
MOLECULAR FORM www.citycollegiate.com

Covalent compound exists as a separate molecules because they are formed
by neutral atoms (they are electrically neutral) and the forces of attraction
between these molecules is small.
STATE
Due to weak intermolecular forces, generally covalent molecules or covalent
compounds are liquids and gases. However, some covalent substances are
solids like iodine.
Liquid (H2O, HCl, Br2)

Gas (CO2, H2, Cl2,NH3)
VOLATILITY
They are volatile.
MELTING POINT, BOILING POINT
(THERMAL STABILITY)
Generally they have low M.P and B.P.
SOLUBILITY IN WATER
Covalent compounds are generally insoluble in water.
SOLUBILITY IN THE ORGANIC

COMPOUNDS
Covalent compounds are non-electrolyte because they do not conduct
electricity.
ELECTRICAL CONDUCTIVITY www.citycollegiate.com

Non-polar covalent compounds do not conduct electricity.
Polar covalent compounds conduct small amount of electricity.
COORDINATE COVALENT BOND
The type of chemical bond in which one atom provides shared pair of
electron for bond formation is called "Coordinate Covalent Bond".
OR
Chemical bond formed between two atoms due to sharing of electron pair in
which only one atom provides shared pair of electron for the formation of
bond, is known as coordinate covalent bond or dative bond.
In the formation of coordinate bond other atom does not provide electron for
sharing. It is one sided sharing.
Formation of coordinate covalent bond is the property of atoms that have
lone pair of electrons.
The atom that provides electron pair is called "Donor".The other which
takes it is called "Acceptor".
Symbol:
Dative bond is represented by an arrow (), pointing from donor atom to
the acceptor.
Examples:
Ammonium ion
Hydronium ion
THEORIES OF CHEMICAL BONDING
Valence bond theory

According to Valence bond theory:
A covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of partially filled orbitals of two
atoms.
Overlapping orbitals must have electrons with opposite spin.
Atoms involved in bond formation should have unpaired electrons.
The number of covalent bonds formed by an atom would be equal to the number
of half filled orbital.
Resulting molecular orbital is obtained by the combination of the two wave
functions (AOs) of two unpaired electrons.
Atoms which are involved in bond formation maintain their identity.
Molecular orbital theory

A covalent bond is formed by the overlapping of atomic orbitals which form
molecular orbital.
Bonding electrons occupy molecular orbital not atomic orbital.
An electron in a molecular orbital is polycentric because it is influenced by more
than one nuclei.
Formation of molecular orbital is based on the linear combination of atomic
orbitals (LCAO).
There are two kinds of molecular orbitals:
1. BONDING MOLECULAR ORBITAL
2. ANTI-BONDING MOLECULAR ORBITAL
Sigma bond
1. Sigma bond is formed by the linear or head to head or end on overlapping of
orbitals.
2. Sigma bonds are the strong bonds due to maximum overlapping of orbitals.
3. Electron density is maximum around the bond axis.
4. Compounds having sigma bonds are stable and hence less reactive.
5. First bond formed between two atoms is always a sigma bond.
6. s-s overlap, s-p overlap and p-p overlap give rise to sigma bond.
Examples of Sigma bond
s-s overlap in H2 molecule
Hydrogen molecule consists of two H-atoms. Each atom contains one electron in 1s
-orbital. E.C = 1s1
According to molecular orbital theory two 1s1 orbitals of two H-atoms overlap
linearly to produce two types of molecular orbitals.
1. Bonding molecular orbital (-orbital)
2. Anti-bonding molecular orbital (*-orbital)
Bonding molecular orbital (-orbital) has lower energy and results in the covalent
bond formation which is a sigma bond between two H-atoms while the anti-bonding
molecular orbital (*-orbital) possess high energy remains unoccupied.
s-p overlap in HF molecule

s-p type overlap occurs in HF molecule when one 1s-orbital of hydrogen atom
overlaps 2p-orbital of fluorine to form two types of molecular orbitals.
bond formation (sigma bond) between H-atom and F-atom while the anti-bonding
p-p overlap in HF molecule

p-p type overlap occurs in F2 molecule when one 2pz-orbital of one fluorine atom
overlaps 2pz-orbital of other fluorine atom form two types of molecular orbitals.
bond formation (sigma bond) between two F-atoms while the anti-bonding
Strength of sigma bond
The relative strength of a sigma bond is related to the extent of overlap of the
atomic orbitals. This is known as the 'principle of maximum overlap'.
Due to spherical charge distribution in s-orbital, generally s-s overlapping is not so
effective as s-p and p-p overlapping.
Where p-orbitals have directional charge distribution and longer lobes which cause
more effective overlapping. Thus s-s sigma bond is relatively weak.

Order of the strength of sigma bonds is as follows:
nature of sigma bond s-s s-p p-p
bond strength 1.0 1.73 3.0
Pi bond
A Pi bond is formed by the lateral or side ways or parallel overlapping of P-orbital of
the atoms which are already bonded by a sigma bond and their axes are coplanar.
This type of overlap generates two types of molecular orbitals:
(a) Pi-bonding molecular orbital (-orbital)
(b) Pi-antibonding molecular orbital ( *-orbital)
A pi-bonding orbital has two regions of electron density below and above the nodal
plane.The electron contained in it are called pi-bonding electrons which form the pi
bond. It is not linearly symmetrical with respect to the bond axis, rather it has a
nodal plane.
Pi-bonds are weaker than sigma bonds.
In Pi-bonds, electron density lies in the regions above and below the nuclei.
Compounds having pi bonds are more reactive.
Pi bond is formed when two atoms already bonded by a sigma bond.
Bonding
molecul
ar orbital
Its energy is less than that of parent atomic orbital.
It is more stable than the parent atomic orbital.
In B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is maximum.
Contribution of B.M.O is maximum towards the shape of
molecule.
Anti-bonding
molecular orbital
Its energy is greater than that of parent atomic
orbital.
It is less stable than the parent atomic orbital.

In A.B.M.O, the probability of finding electrons is
minimum.
It does not contribute towards the shape of molecule.
Atomic orbital
It surrounds only one nucleus.
Atomic orbital can be hybridized.

It is mono-centric.
Combination of atomic orbitals generates molecular
orbital.
s,p,d and f-orbitals are the examples of atomic
orbitals.
Hybrid orbitals such as sp, sp2 and sp3 are also the
examples of atomic orbitals.
Atomic orbitals are less stable than molecular orbitals.
Molecular orbital
It surrounds at least two nuclei.
Molecular orbital cannot undergo hybridization in any

circumstances.
Two molecular orbitals can not combine with each
other.
A molecular orbital may be di-centric or poly-centric.
Bonding molecular orbital and anti-bonding molecular
orbital are its examples.
Molecular orbital is more stable than an atomic orbital.
Polar bond
Covalent bond formed between two dissimilar atoms
having different electronegativity is a Polar bond.
Unequal sharing of electrons takes place between the

bonded atoms due to difference of E.N.
Due to unequal distribution of electron cloud, one end
of molecule has a partial positive charge and the other
end has an equal partial negative charge.
Compounds containing polar bonds have high melting

and boiling points and high viscosity.
A polar covalent bond is shorter in length but has high
bond energy due to attraction.
They have partial ionic and partial covalent character.
Non-polar bond
Covalent bond formed between two similar atoms is
called a non-polar bond.
Examples
H---H
Cl---Cl
Equal sharing of electrons takes place due to zero
difference of E.N.
Due to equal distribution of electrons, no partial
charges appeared on any one atom.
Non-polar compounds have low thermal values as

compared to polar compounds.
They are pure covalent in nature.
They have zero dipole moment.
HYBRIDIZATION
The phenomenon of mixing up of different orbitals of same energy level
of an atom to produce equal number of hybrid-orbitals of same energy
and identical properties is known as hybridization. A hybrid orbital
contains maximum two electrons with opposite spin.
In hybridization, only those orbital take part that have very little
difference of energy.
Hybridization takes place in the orbitals of a single atom. Two different

atoms cannot produce hybrid orbitals by overlapping their orbitals.
TYPES OF HYBRIDIZATION
IN CARBON ATOM
There are three categories of hybridization :
Sp3-hybridization.
Sp2- hybridization.
Sp- hybridization.
Sp3- HYBRIDIZATION
The process of hybridization in which one s-orbital and three p-orbitals
overlap to produce four hybrid-orbital is known as Sp3-hybridization.
These hybrid-orbital are identical in shape and energy. These orbital are
known as Sp3-hybrid orbitals. Sp3-orbitals are at an angle of 109.5o from
each other. Sp3-orbital are arranged in tetrahedral fashion.
Sp3- HYBRIDIZATION
AND METHANE
Methane molecule composed of one carbon atom and four hydrogen atom
i.e. CH4. In methane molecule central atom is carbon. Here carbon atom
is Sp3-hybridized. One s-orbital (2s) and three p-orbital (2px, 2py, 2pz)
overlap to produce four Sp3-hybrid orbitals. These Sp3- hybrid orbital are
at a angle of 109.5o from each other. These Sp3-orbitals are attached at
the corner of a tetrahedron. Each Sp3-orbital of carbon atom overlaps 1s-
orbital of hydrogen atom. In this way four sigma bonds (Sp3-S bonds) are
generated. The final geometry of methane molecule is tetrahedral as
shown.
ELECTRON PAIR REPULSION
Following are the main points of electron pair repulsion theory:

There are two types of electron pairs surrounding the central atom.
Bond pair.
Lone pair.
These bond pairs are known as active set of electrons.
These electron pairs (bond pairs or lone pairs) repel each other.
Due to repulsion, electron pairs of central atom try to be as far as
possible. Hence, they arrange themselves in space in such a manner
that the force of repulsion between them is minimized.
The force of repulsion between lone pairs and bond pairs is not the
same. The order of repulsion is as follows:
lone pair-lone pair>lone pair-bond pair>bond pair-bond pair.
Pi-electron pairs are not considered as an active set of electrons.
The shape of molecule depends upon total number of electron pairs

surrounding the central atom.
For example:
If central atom has two electron pairs, geometry of molecule will be
linear with bond angles of 180o.
If central atom has three electron pairs, geometry of molecule will be
trigonal with bond angles of 120o.
If central atom has four electron pairs, geometry of molecule will be
tetrahedral with bond angles of 109.5o
HYBRID ORBITAL
MODEL
According to hybrid orbital model the shape of a molecule is determined

by the nature of hybridization in central atom.
According to hybrid orbital model:
Sp-hybridization in central atom gives linear molecule with an angle
of 180o.
For example: C2H2, CO2, CS2, BeCl2.
Sp2-hybridization in the central atom gives planar trigonal structure
with bond angles of 120o.
Sp3-hybridization with no lone pair or non-bonding orbital on the
central atom gives tetrahedral geometry with bond angles of 109.5o.
Sp3-hybridization with one non-bonding orbital (lone pair) gives
pyramidal structure with an angle of 107o.
Sp3-hybridization with two non-bonding orbital on central atom gives
bent or angular structure with bond angle of 104.5o.
The larger atoms of group VA and VIA such as phosphorus and
sulphur do not use Sp3-hybrid orbital in bond making, instead they
utilize their p-orbital which are mutually at right angles. Such elements
form compounds with bond angles of about 90o.

Dipole Moment
Introduction:
The degree of polarity of a molecule is expressed in terms of dipole moment.
Definition:
The product of magnitude of charge on a molecule and the distance between
two charges of equal magnitude with opposite sign is equal to dipole moment.
Mathematical representation:
Dipole moment=charge x distance
µ = exd
Symbol:
It is represented by an arrow ()
Unit:
Its unit is debye.(D)
Conversion:
1 debye=3.335 x 10-30 coulomb x meter
OR
1 debye=1 x 10-18 E.S.U x cm
Dependence of dipole moment:

Dipole moment depends on three factors:
1. Polarity of molecule
2. Magnitude of charge
3. Geometry of molecule
1. Homo-nuclear diatomic molecules have zero dipole moment due to absence of
charge.
For example:
H-----H , O===O , Cl----Cl
Have zero dipole moment.
2. Diatomic molecules of two different atoms have specific values of dipole

moment.

moment.
For example:
H2O = 1.84 debye
NH3 = 1.46 debye
5. If molecular structure of a poly atomic molecule is symmetrical than the dipole

moment of molecule will be zero.
For example:

C6H6 = 0 debye
CCl4 = 0 debye
BOND ENERGY
Definition:
Amount of energy required to break a bond between two atoms in a di-
atomic molecule is called bond energy.
Or
Bond energy may also be defined as the amount of energy released when two
atoms unite together with a covalent bond.
Example:
Cl-Cl ; B.E. = 2.44 KJ/mole.
H-H ; B.E. = 4.35 KJ/mole.
Unit:
Its unit is KJ/mole and Kcal/mole.
Bond breaking is an endothermic reaction. Bond formation is an exothermic reaction,
FACTORS ON WHICH BOND ENERGY DEPENDS:
BOND LENGTH:
Shorter the bond length, greater is the bond energy.
IONIC CHARACTER:
Greater the ionic character, greater is the bond energy.
MULTIPLE BOND:
Multiple bonds have short length, therefore, they have high bond energy.

THERMODYNAMICS
"The branch of science which deals with the interconversion of heat energy
and other forms of energies is called thermodynamics."
OR
"It is the study of the flow of heat or any other form of energy into or out
of a system,as it under goes a physical or chemical change."
In thermodynamics we discuss all those problems which are related to the conversion of
any other form of energy into heat energy. Heat engines or I.C. engines or E.C. engines
are discussed under the field of thermodynamics.
THERMOCHEMICAL
REACTIONS
All those chemical reactions which accompanied with mass change as well as energy
change are known as thermo-chemical reactions.
TYPES OF THERMO-
CHEMICAL REACTIONS
There are two types of thermo chemical reactions:
ENDOTHERMIC REACTIONS
EXOTHERMIC REACTIONS
ENDOTHERMIC REACTION
"All those chemical reaction in which heat is absorbed in going
from reactancts to product are known as "Endothermic reactions. "

INTERNAL ENERGY
Internal energy of a thermodynamic system is defined as the total energy possess by a
system.It is numerically equal to the sum of all microscopic kinetic energies and potential
energies of all the atoms or molecules or ions present within a system.
Internal energy of a thermodynamic system is a state function which strictly depends
upon the initial and final states of the system.
The change in internal energy of a system is the amount of energy exchanged by a
system with its surroundings during a thermodynamic process, chemical or physical.
Change in internal energy of a system is equal to the difference between final internal
energy and initial internal energy.
E = E2 - E1
In the light of the first law of thermodynamics, change in internal energy of a system is
equal to the difference between the heatabsorbed or released by the system and the work
done.
E =Q - W
Internal energy of a system depends upon the temperature of system. If temperature of a
system is constant, then its internal energy will also be constant.
DEFINITIONS
SYSTEM
A thermodynamic system is a collection of matter which has distinct boundaries.
OR
A real or imaginary portion of universe which has distinct boundaries is called
system.
OR
A thermodynamic system is that part of universe which is under thermodynamic
study.
FOR EXAMPLE:

TYPES OF SYSTEM
There are three types of thermodynamic systems.
Open system
closed system

OPEN SYSTEM
An open system is one in which both mass & energy transfer takes place across the
boundaries.
 An open tank of water.

MACROSCOPIC PROPERTIES
all the properties of a system in bulk which are easily measurable are known as
macroscopic properties.
TYPES OF MACROSCOPIC
PROPERTIES
macroscopic properties can be divided in to two main classes.

Intensive properties
Extensive properties
INTENSIVE PROPERTIES
Macroscopic properties of a system which are independent of mass are known as
intensive properties. Whatever is the mass but properties remain unchanged.
FOR EXAMPLE: MELTING POINT, BOILING POINT, DENSITY, TEMPERATURE, PRESSURE,
VISCOSITY.
EXTENSIVE PROPERTIES
Macroscopic properties of a system which are strictly dependent on there mass or
quantity of matter are known as extensive properties.
If mass is halved the property will also be half.
FOR EXAMPLE: volume, mole, mass, enthalpy, internal energy, kinetic energy.
Thermodynamic terms
SURROUNDINGS
The environments that contained the system are known surroundings.
Or
Any thing which is not a part of system is called surroundings.
System and surroundings are separated from each other by a real or imaginary
boundary.
EXAMPLE:
When a reaction is carried out in a flask placed in a thermostat, the content of flask is
the system, flask itself is the real boundary and thermostat is surroundings.
ENTHALPY
The total heat content of a system is called enthalpy.
Or
The total heat content of a system at constant pressure is equivalent to the sum of its
internal energy and PV which is called enthalpy.
Enthalpy = E + PV
It is denoted by H
HEAT OF FORMATION

STATE
A thermodynamic system is said to be in a certain state when all its properties are
specified or fixed.
The fundamental properties, which determine the state of a system, are:
Temperature
Pressure
Volume
Mass
Composition
Any change in the above properties changes the state of system. Due to this reason
they are called 'State Functions'.
There are two states of a system
1. Initial state
2. Final state
INITIAL STATE

'Initial State'
of the system.
FINAL STATE
The description of the system after it undergoes a physical or chemical change is called
'Final State'
of the system.
CHANGE IN STATE
Comparison between the final state and initial state of the system is referred to as
'change in state'.

are specified.
Change in state = Value of property in the final state - Value of property in the
initial state
FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
INTRODUCTION
First law of thermodynamics is a statement of conversion of energy. It was enunciated
by HELMHOLTZ in 1847.
STATEMENT
"Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but it can be changed

from one form of energy to another form of energy"
In other words
"During any process total energy of system remains constant"
OR
"During any change the total energy of system and its surrounding remains
constant .
MATHEMATICAL
REPRESENTATION
Consider a thermodynamic system initially have internal energy E1 absorbs Q amount
of heat from its surroundings and performs W amount of work and at the same time
its internal energy increases to
hen according to the first law of thermodynamics:
Heat supplied = increase in internal energy +work done
Q =  + W
OR
QE2 - E1W
OR
QE2 - E1P V
Where
 = E2 - E1
W = P V
PRESSURE-VOLUME
WORK
Consider a cylinder fitted with a frictionless and weightless non-conducting piston of

area of cross
section "A" . An ideal gas is enclosed in the cylinder. Let the volume of gas at initial
state is "V1".
An external pressure "P"is exerted on the piston.
If we supply "q" amount of heat to the system then it will increase its internal energy
by . "After a certain limit gas exerts pressure on the piston . If piston is free to
move, it will be displaced by "h"
and the volume of system increases from V to V.
We know that pressure is the force per unit area i.e.

P = F/A
OR
F = PA ........ (i)
We also know that the work done by the gas on the piston is given by:
W = F d
Where d = displacement of piston = h
Putting the value of F and d ,we get
W = (PA) h
OR W = P (Ah)
But Ah = change or increase in volume = V
Hence
W = PV
Let us consider a cylinder fitted with a friction less position an ideal gas is enclosed in
the cylinder.
APPLICATIONS OF FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
Heat can be supplied to a gas under two conditions:

At constant volume
At constant pressure
AT CONSTANT
VOLUME
Heat supplied at constant volume is also known as "ISOCHORIC SYSTEM". An isochoric
process is one in which the volume of system during the supply of heat does not
change.This is achieved only when the piston of cylinder is fixed.
In order to supply heat at constant volume piston of cylinder is fixed at a certain
position so that during heat supply volume of system remains constant.
In this condition no change in volume will take place i.e. V = 0

Since
W = PV
Putting the value of V
W = P(0)
W = 0
Hence under constant volume no work is done.
APPLYING FIRST LAW OF THERMODYNAMICS
qv =  E +  W
qv =  E
 E = E2 – E1
OR
qv= E2 – E1
CONCLUSION
This expression shows that heat supplied at constant volume is used in increasing the
internal energy of system, but no work is done by the system.

ISOBARIC PROCESS
AT CONSTANT
PREESURE
Heat supplied at constant pressure is also known as "ISOBARIC PROCESS". An isobaric
process is one in which no pressure change takes place during the supply of heat to
system.
In order to understand an isobaric process consider a cylinder fitted with a frictionless

piston, the piston is free to move. An ideal gas is enclosed in the cylinder.
Let the internal energy of the system at initial state is E 1, the temperature of system is
T1, volume of gas is V1 and pressure is P.
If qp amount of heat is supplied to the system, its internal energy will increase from E 1
to E2 and the temperature of system also rises from T1 to T2,
At the same time gas exerts some pressure on the piston, since the piston is free to
move, it displaces by "h" the volume of gas increases from V1 to V2 . Due to increase in
volume, pressure again decreases to its original value i.e. P1.
ACCORDING TO THE FIRST LAWOFTHERMODYNAMICS
Qp = E + work
Qp = E + P V
Q p = E + P V but (E = E2- E1
)
Qp = E2-E1 + P (V2 – V1)
Qp = E2-E1 + PV2- PV1
Qp = E2+ PV2 – E1 – PV1
Qp = (E2+ PV2) – (E1+ PV1)
but
(E + PV =H)
(H= enthalpy)
therefore,
qP =  H
OR
q p E + P V = H
CONCLUSION
This expression indicates that heat supplied at constant pressure is equal to increase in
enthalpy of system.
HESS'S LAW OF CONSTANT HEAT SUMMATION
INTRODUCTION
Heat absorbed or evolved in a certain reaction is equal to the difference of intrinsic
energies of reactants and products, no matter in what manner the reaction is carried out.
In the light of this fact, the Hess's law stated as:
STATEMENT
"The amount of heat evolved or absorbed in any chemical reaction is
constant and is independent of the method followed"
In other words:
"The change in enthalpy in any chemical reaction is constant and is
independent whether the reaction takes place in one step or in many steps"
EXPLANATION
Consider a system chemical whose initial and final states are represented by "A" and "E"
respectively. The change from A to E may take place in single step.
In single step change in enthalpy is H.

This change of reactant (A) to product (E) may take place in more than one steps :
According to Hess's law of constant summation:

H = H1 H2+ H3 +H4
EXAMPLE #1
Consider the reaction between sulphur and oxygen which is exothermic in nature. In this
example formation of sulphur trioxide takes place in two steps:

In the first step sulphur reacts with oxygen to produce sulphur dioxide
S + O2  SO2 Kcal/mol
In the second step SO2 reacts with more oxygen to produce SO3
SO2 +1/2 O2  SO3 Kcal/mol
Total change in enthalpy =  + 
Total change in enthalpy = 
Total change in enthalpy =  94.45 Kcal/mol
We can also prepare sulphur trioxide in one step as shown by the equation:
S + 3/2 O2  SO3
In the direct one step preparation, change in enthalpy is 94.45 Kcal/mol.
This clearly indicates that the change in enthalpy for the preparation of sulphur trioxide is
constant and is independent of the procedure followed.
CHAPTER NO 6
Irreversible Reactions and Reversible Reactions

Irreversible
citycollegiate.com
reactions
Chemical reactions which proceed to completion in one direction only are known
as irreversible reactions. In irreversible reactions reactants are completely
converted into products in a certain interval of time. In these reactions products
do not form reactants again.
Examples
CaCO3 CaO + CO2
CaO + H2O  Ca(OH)2

NH4HCO3 + NaCl NaHCO3 + NH4Cl
citycollegiate.com
Reversible
reactions
Chemical reactions which proceed in both directions forward and backward
simultaneously are known as reversible reactions. These reaction never go to
completion but always continue in both directions.
Examples
N2 +3H2 NH3
H2 + I 2 2HI
2SO2+ O2 2SO3
CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM
CHEMICAL
citycollegiate.com
EQUILIBRIUM
Reversible reactions proceed in both directions simultaneously. In a reversible
reaction a state is acxhieved at which the rate of forward reaction becomes equal
to the rate of backward reaction. This state is referred to as 'chemical
equilibrium'.
EXPLANATION
Consider a reversible reaction A + B C + D in which two reactants A
and B are allowed to react together.
At initial stage the reaction proceeds in the forward direction only because no
product is formed.
As the reaction starts A and B reacts to form C and D . Now C and D react
each other to reproduce A and B and the reaction now proceeds in both forward
and backward directions but the rate of forward reaction and the rate of backward
reaction are different.
citycollegiate.com
Finally a state is established at which the rate of backward reaction becomes
equal to the rate of forward reaction. This state is called 'chemical equilibrium'.
At equilibrium state, the reaction does not stop. Reactants form products and
products again converted into reactants. This process is always continue but with
the passage of time, there is no change in the concentration of reactants and
products due to same rate of reaction. At this point, it apparantely appears as the
reaction has stopped because we don't see any change in the concentration of
reactants and products with time.
Since chemical equilibrium continues and never go to stop, therefore, chemical
equilibrium is a dynamic equilibrium.
CHEMICAL EQUILIBRIUM
ACTIVE MASS www.citycollegiate.com

Concentration of a substance expressed in mole/dm3 or in molar unit is called
ACTIVE MASS. Active mass in mole/dm3 is represented by a square bracket [ ].
LAW OF MASS
ACTION
According to the law of mass action.
"The rate at which a substance reacts is directly proportional to its
active mass "
Rate  [Reactant]
The rate of reaction is directly proportional to the product of the active
masses of reactants.
Consider a general reversible reaction

A+B C+D
According to the law of mass action:
Rate of reaction  [A][B]
Determination of equilibrium constant by using equilibrium law
Consider a general reaction
For latest information , free computer courses and high impact notes visit
aA + bB cC + dD
According to the law of mass action
Rate of forward reaction  [A]a[B]b
Rate of forward reaction = K f [A]a[B]b
Similarly,
Rate of backward reaction  [C]c[D]d

Rate of backward reaction = K b [C]c[D]d
Where
Kf = rate constant for forward reaction
Kb = rate constant for backward reaction
a, b, c, d = number of moles
At equilibrium rate of forward reaction becomes equal to the rate of backward
reaction, thus,
Rate of forward reaction = Rate of backward reaction
Kf [A]a[B]b = Kb [C]c[D]d
Kf / Kb = [C]c[D]d/[A]a[B]b
Let Kf/Kb = Kc
Kc = [C]c[D]d/[A]a[B]b
This is the expression of equilibrium constant where c represents
concentration.
APPLICATION OF EQUILIBRIUM CONSTANT
Knowledge of equilibrium constant for a given reaction is very helpful aid in
laboratory analysis as well as in industry. Equilibrium constant of a reaction is used
for two purposes:
Value of Kc is used to predict the direction of the reaction.
Value of Kc is also used to predict the extent to which a reaction occurs.
To predict the direction of reaction:
The value of Kc is helpful in determining the direction in which a reaction will shift
in order to achieve the equilibrium.
Consider a reaction www.citycollegiate.com
Reactants ======== Products
First we determined the ratio of initial concentrations of reactants and products.
There are three possible values of this ratio when it is compared with the value of
Kc.
When ratio=Kc
According to the law of mass action, there is no shifting of reaction and there will
be no change in the concentration of reactants and products and the system is
already at equilibrium.
When ratio> Kc www.citycollegiate.com
In this condition the reaction will shift in the backward direction to achieve
equilibrium state. At equilibrium quantity of product will decrease and the quantity
of reactants will increase.
When ratio<Kc
In this condition the reaction will shift in forward direction to achieve equilibrium
state. At equilibrium quantity of product will increase and the quantity of reactants
will decrease.
To predict the extent of a reaction :
From the magnitude of equilibrium constant, we can predict not only the direction
of a reaction but also the extent to which a reaction proceeds.
There may be three values of equilibrium constant:
A very high value of equilibrium constant
A very small value of equilibrium constant
A moderate value of equilibrium constant
When the value of equilibrium constant is very high:
A very high value of equilibrium constant indicates that the forward is almost
complete and in other words we can say that the reactants are very unstable and
they react spontaneously.
For example the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2O3 3O2 is very
large i.e. 1 x 1055.
This indicates that the forward is almost complete and ozone (O3) is very unstable.
When the value of equilibrium constant is very small:
A very small value of equilibrium constant indicates that there is very little
tendency for the reaction to occur in the forward direction and in other words we
can say that the reactants are very stable.
For example the equilibrium constant for the reaction 2HF H2 + F2 is
very small i.e.
1 x 10-13.
This indicates that the forward occurs with negligible speed and hydrogen fluoride
(HF) is very stable.
When the value of equilibrium constant moderate:
When the value of equilibrium constant is neither very high nor very small, we
conclude that the reaction occurs both in forward and backward direction and
equilibrium will be attained after certain period of time.
For example the equilibrium constant for the reaction N2 +3H2 NH3 is
10, which is a moderate value.
Define KP
KP www.citycollegiate.com
For gaseous equilibrium systems we can use partial pressure of gases instead of
concentration. Therefore,
"Equilibrium constant determined by using partial pressure
of gases in a gaseous chemical equilibrium is denoted by Kp"
Consider a general reversible reaction :
aA(g) + b B(g) c C(g) + d D(g)

For the reaction Kp is
Kp = [PC]c[PD]d/[PA]a[PB]b
Where [P] = partial pressure of gas
RELATION
BETWEEN Kp www.citycollegiate.com
AND Kc
We know that Kp and Kc are related to each other as:
Kp = Kc[RT]n
From above relation we conclude three results as follows.
1. If Kp=Kc
In this case there is no change in volume
For example:
H2 + I 2 2HI
In this example volumes of products are equal to the volumes reactants.
2. If Kp>Kc
In this case reaction occur with the increase in volume.
For example:
2NH3 N2 + 3H2
In this example volumes of products are greater than the volumes reactants.
3.If Kp<Kc
In this case reaction occur with the decrease in volume.
For example:
2SO2(g) + O2(g) 2SO3(g)
In this example volumes of products are less than the volumes reactants.
LE-CHATELIER'S PRINCIPLE
INTROUCTION citycollegiate.com
The equilibrium state of a chemical equilibrium system is changed by change in
concentration, pressure temperature etc. The effect of change in any one of the
above factors changes the equilibrium system. The effect of change of these factors
is explained by Le-chatelier's principle.
STATEMENT
If a stress or constraint is applied to an equilibrium system, the equilibrium
will shift in such a direction so that the effect of stress is cancelled or
minimzed.
In other words: citycollegiate.com

If a system at equilibrium is disturbed by some change, the system will
shift in a direction to minimize or undo the effect change.
MEANING OF
STRESS
Stress on equilibrium is the change in concentration or pressure or temperature. If
any one of these is changed at equilibrium, the equilibrium system will disturb.
In the coming lines we will discuss the effect of change in the following factors on
equilibrium:
The effect of change in concentration
The effect of change in pressure
The effect of change in temperature
The effect of catalyst
The effect of change in concentration:
citycollegiate.com
If at equilibrium state, the concentration of one or more substances present in
equilibrium mixture is changed, the equilibrium system will no longer remain in
equilibrium state. The system will undergo changes in concentrations of various
substances so as to minimize the effect or restore equilibrium state.
Consider a reversible reaction:

aA + bB cC + dD
Kc for the reaction is
Kc = [C]c[D]d/[A]a[B]b
If we add some more amount of A or B at equilibrium, the equilibrium system will
be disturbed . According to Le-chatelier's principle, to restore equilibrium, the
reaction will shift in the forward direction to cancel the effect of change in
concentration.
Actually an increase in concentration of reactants decreases the ratio [C]c[D]d/[A]a
[B]b than Kc. To regain equilibrium, according to Le-chatelier's principle, at equilibrium
the concentration of A and B will decrease and the concentrations of C and D will
increase i.e the reaction will shift in the forward direction.
However if at equilibrium the concentration of C or D is increased, the reaction will
shift in the backward direction.
The effect of change in temperature
citycollegiate.com
According to Le-chatelier's principle a change in temperature is a stress on an
equilibrium system. If at equilibrium the temperature of system is changed the
system will no longer at remain at equilibrium. To restore equilibrium, the reaction
will in either forward or backward direction.
By applying Le-chatelier's principle, we can predict the direction of reaction when
temperature of an equilibrium system is changed. Effect of change in temperature is
related to the nature of reaction whether it is an endothermic reaction or an
exothermic reaction.
For endothermic reaction, Kc increases with the increase in temperature.
For exothermic reaction, Kc decreases with the increase in temperature.
Consider a reversible reaction: aA + bB cC + dD
For endothermic
reaction
Increase in temperature:
In an endothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favours the reaction to
occur in the forward direction. At equilibrium, the concentration of A and B will
decrease and the concentration of C and D will increase.
Decrease in temperature:
In an endothermic reaction, a decrease in temperature favours the reaction to occur
in the backward direction. At equilibrium, the concentration of C and D will decrease
and the concentration of A and B will increase.
EXAMPLE
H2 + I2 + HEAT 2HI
Above example is an endothermic reaction. If we increase the temperature of
system, then the equilibrium will shift in the forward direction where more amounts
of HI will be obtained and the concentration of H2 and I2 will decrease at
equilibrium.
EXAMPLE
H2 + I2 + HEAT 2HI
In this example a decrease in temperature favours the reaction to occur in the
backward direction where more amounts of H2 and I2 will be obtained and the
concentration of HI will decrease at equilibrium.
For exothermic
citycollegiate.com
reaction
Increase in temperature:
In an exothermic reaction, an increase in temperature favours the reaction to occur
in the backward direction. At equilibrium, the concentration of C and D will decrease
and the concentration of A and B will increase.
Decrease in temperature:
In an exothermic reaction, a decrease in temperature favours the reaction to occur
in the forward direction. At equilibrium, the concentration of A and B will decrease
and the concentration of C and D will increase.
EXAMPLE
N2 + 3H2 2NH3 + HEAT
In this example an increase in temperature favours the reaction to occur in the
backward direction where more amounts of N2 and H2 will be obtained and the
concentration of NH3 will decrease at equilibrium.
EXAMPLE
N2 + 3H2 2NH3 + HEAT
In this example a decrease in temperature favours the reaction to occur in the
forward direction where more amounts of ammonia will be obtained and the
concentration of N2 and H2 will decrease at equilibrium.
The
effect
of
change
in
pressure
Effect of pressure on an equilibrium system is related to change in volume. Since

liquids and solids are almost incompressible, therefore, there volume change is
negligible with the change in pressure. Here we conclude that the effect of change
in pressure is applicable on gaseous equilibrium.
The effect of change in pressure can be studied as under: citycollegiate.com
When the volumes of reactants and products are equal:

If the volumes of reactants and products are equal, then both an increase or
decrease in pressure do not alter the equilibrium state.
EXAMPLE citycollegiate.com
For example: H2 + I2 2HI

1 volume + 1 volume 2 volumes
2 volumes 2 volumes
In the equilibrium of H2 + I2 2HI an increase or decrease of pressure
will not change the equilibrium state because equal volumes will change equally
and no change in equilibrium state will be observed.
In this condition there is no effect of change in pressure on the equilibrium system
citycollegiate.com
When volumes of reactants are greater than the volumes of products:
In this situation two conditions are applicable:
An increase in pressure
A decrease in pressure
Effect of increase in
pressure
An increase in pressure favours the equilibrium to shift in forward direction. At
equilibrium, the concentration of reactants will decrease and the concentration of
products will increase.
Effect of decrease in
pressure
A decrease in pressure favours the equilibrium to shift in backward direction. At
equilibrium, the concentration of products will decrease and the concentration of
reactants will increase.
For example: N2 + 3H2 2NH3
1 volume + 3 volumes 2 volumes
4 volumes 2 volumes
In the equilibrium of ammonia, an increase in pressure will shift the equilibrium to
forward direction i.e at high pressure the formation of ammonia is favoured.
When volumes of products are greater than the volumes of reactants:
Effect of increase in
pressure
An increase in pressure favours the equilibrium to shift in the backward direction.
At equilibrium, the concentration of products will decrease and the concentration
of reactants will increase.
Effect of decrease in
pressure
A decrease in pressure favours the equilibrium to shift in forward direction. At
equilibrium, the concentration of reactants will decrease and the concentration of
products will increase.
For example: 2O3 3O2
2 volumes 3 volumes
In this equilibrium system , a decrease in pressure will shift the equilibrium to
backward direction i.e at low pressure the formation of oxygen is favoured.
Solubility - Solubility product
Solubility:
Definition:
Solubility of a solute in a solvent is the number of grams of solute necessary to
saturate 100 grams of solvent at a particular temperature.
Solubility product: www.citycollegiate.com

Solubility product is defined as the product of ionic concentration when dissolved ions
and undissolved ions are in equilibrium.
In other words,
When a saturated solution of sparingly or slightly soluble salt is in contact with
undissolved salt, an equilibrium is established between the dissolved ions and the ions
in the solid phase of the undissolved salt. Ionic product at this stage is called solubility
product.
Symbol:
It is denoted by Ksp
Determination of solubility product:
Consider a slightly soluble salt such as silver chloride (AgCl).
AgCl(aq) Ag+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Applying equilibrium law:
Kc=[Ag+][Cl-]/[AgCl]
Kc[AgCl] = [Ag+][Cl-]
Since there is no change in the concentration of salt (AgCl) at equilibrium. Therefore,
[AgCl] = constant (K')
Kc = [Ag ][Cl ]/ K'
+ -
Kc x K'= [Ag+][Cl-]
Let Kc x K' = solubility product or Ksp , Therefore,
Ksp = [Ag+][Cl-]
Ionic product:
Product of ionic concentration other than equilibrium is called ionic product.
Applications of solubility product:
Knowledge of solubility product is very useful to determine whether precipitates will be
obtained or not by the addition of more amount of solute to the solution. There are
three conditions:
When Ksp > ionic product:
If solubility product is greater than the ionic product then, the solution is unsaturated
and no precipitate will form by the addition of more solute.
When Ksp< ionic product:
If solubility product is less than the ionic product then the solution is super saturated
and the excess of solute will precipitate immediately.
When Ksp= ionic product:
In this condition solution is saturated and further addition of solute will cause
precipitates.
COMMON ION EFFECT
DEFINITION
The degree of ionization of an electrolyte is suppressed by the addition of a strong
electrolyte containing common ion. This effect is known common ion effect.
In other words:
The phenomenon of lowering the degree of ionization of a weak electrolyte by adding
a solution of a strong electrolyte having a common ion is called common ion effect.
APPLICATION OF COMMON ION EFFECT
Knowledge of common ion effect is very useful in analytical chemistry. It is frequently

applied in qualitative analysis.
An electrolyte is precipitated only when the concentration of its ions exceeds the
solubility product (KSP). The precipitation is obtained only when the concentration of
any one ion is increased. Thus by adding a common ion, the solubility product can be
increased.
PRECIPITATION OF THE CATIONS OF
GROUP II
Sulphides of basic radicals of groups II are precipitated by passing H2S gas through
the acidified solution by HCl.
Ionization of H 2S:
H 2S 2H+ + S-2
Here HCl provides common ion H+ which shifts the above equilibrium to the left as
given by
Le-Chatelier's principle.
HCl H+ + Cl-
Addition of HCl suppresses the ionization of H2S and lowers the concentration of S-2
ions, just enough to exceeds the KSP of II group sulphides. In this way only cations of
group II are precipitated as CuS, PbS, CdS etc. but precipitation of the sulphides of
group IV is prevented because they have high KSP values as compared to the sulphides
of group II.
GROUP IV
Cations of groups IV are precipitated as sulphides by passing H 2S gas through the
solution in the presence of NH4OH.
Ionization of NH 4OH:
NH4OH NH4+ + OH-
In this analysis NH4OH provides OH ions which combines with H+ ions of H2S to form
-
H2O.
H2S 2H+ + S-2 : H+ + OH- H 2O
Removal of H+ ions from product side shifts the equilibrium to right and the
concentration of S-2 increases which is enough to exceed the KSP of the sulphides of
group IV. In this way CoS, NiS or ZnS can easily be precipitated.
GROUP IV
Cations of groups III are precipitated as hydroxides by passing NH4OH in the presence
of NH4Cl. Here
NH4Cl provides common ion NH4+ which suppresses the ionization of NH4OH.
NH4OH NH4+ + OH- : NH4Cl NH4+ + Cl-
Common ion NH4 shifts the equilibrium to left side and the concentration of OH- ions
+
decreases. Under these circumstances, the KSP of the hydroxides of Al, Fe and Cr is
only exceeded and they are precipitated as Al (OH)3, Fe (OH)3 and Cr (OH)3 but the
hydroxides of Zn, Ni and Co are not precipitated as they have high values of KSP.

HYDROLYSIS
HYDROLYSIS
DEFINITION
The reaction of cations or anion or both with water in which pH of water is
changed, is known as HYDROLYSIS.
OR
Reaction of a substance with water in which pH of water is changed, is known as
HYDROLYSIS.
EXPLANATION
Example #1
When ammonium chloride is treated with water following reaction takes place
NH4+Cl- + H+OH-  HCl + NH4OH
For latest information , free computer courses and high impact notes visit
In this example products are HCl which is strong acid and NH 4OH which is a weak
base. Due to this reason, pH of solution will change towards acidic nature.
Example #2
When sodium carbonate is treated with water following reaction takes place
Na2CO3 + 2H2O 2NaOH + H2CO3
In this example products are NaOH which is strong base and H2CO3(Carbonic
acid) which is a weak acid. Due to this reason pH of solution will change towards
basic nature.
Example #3
When NaCl is dissolved in water hydrolysis does not take place because by the addition of
NaCl in water, pH of water does not affected.
HYDRATION-HYDRATES
HYDRATION
When an ionic compound is dissolved in water it splits into positive and negative
ions. These ions are surrounded by water molecules. The phenomenon in which
water molecules surround a positive or negative ion is called 'HYDRATION'.
Hydration occurs either by the interaction of lone pairs of electrons in water with a
cation or by hydrogen bonding with anions.
HYDRATES
Many compounds have crystallized water molecules additional to that required for a
simple stoichiometry. Water can be bonded to cations by coordinate bonds from
oxygen or to anions by hydrogen bonds. These compounds are generally termed as
'HYDRATES'.
EXAMPLES
CuSO4.5H2O
Na2CO3.10H2O
ZnSO4.7H2O
BaCl2.2H2O
FeSO4.7H2O
MgCl2.6H2O
K2SO4.Al2(SO4)3.24H2O (potash
alum)

salt)
CuSO4.5H2O  CuSO4 + 5H2O
Arrhenius theory of ionization

Arrhenius theory of ionization consists of the following postulates.
The substance called electrolytes are believed to contain electrically charged particles
called ions. These charges are positive for H+ ion or ions derived from metals and
negative for the ions derived from non-metals. Number of electrical charges carried by
an ion is equal to the valency of corresponding atom.
Molecules of electrolytes (acids, bases and salts) dissociate into oppositely charged
ions on dissolution in water, e.g.
NaCl Na+ +Cl-
HCl H+ +Cl-
NaOH Na+ + OH-
The number of positive and negative charges on the ions must be equal so that the
solution as a whole remains neutral.
In solution, the ions are in a state of disorderly or random motion. Upon colliding
they may combine to give unionized molecules. Thus ionization is a reversible process
in which the solution contains ions of electrolyte together with unionized molecules.
H2SO4(aq) 2H+(aq) + SO4-2(aq)
The extent of ionization or the degree of ionization depends upon the nature of
electrolyte.Strong electrolytes such as HCl etc. ionize completely in water. Weak
electrolytes such as acetic acid (CH3COOH) ionize only slightly
Ionization is not affected by electric current.
When electric current is passed through an electrolytic solution, charges move
towards their respective electrodes, i.e. cations towards anode and anions towards
cathode.When these ions reached their respective electrodes, they change into neutral
species by the gain or loss of electron.
The dissociation of electrolyte depend upon

Nature of electrolyte
Degree of dilution
Temperature
The electrical conductivity depends upon :
The number of ions present in the solution
Speed of ions
ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
DEFINITION .www.citycollegiate.com
When a metal (electrode) is immersed in a solution containing the ions of that metal, a
potential difference is set up between the metal and its ions in the solution. This
potential difference is referred to as "ELECTRODE POTENTIAL".
EXPLANATION .
If a copper plate is dipped in a solution of copper sulphate (CuSO4) a potential
difference is set up between copper and Cu+ -ions which is known as electrode
potential.
Electrode potential may be positive or negative depending upon the nature of electrode.
STANDARD
ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
When concentration of solution in which electrode is immersed is 1.00M, temperature is
25oC and pressure is 1.00 atmosphere, then the electrode potential is called standard
electrode potential. It is denoted by Eo.
CHARACTERISTICS OF
ELECTRODE POTENTIAL
Electrode potential is the measure of the tendency of an electrode to loose or gain
electron (s).
In other words electrode potential describes the tendency of an element to oxidize or
reduce.
Electrode potential also determines the chemical activity of an element.
OXIDATION POTENTIAL
It is the measure of tendency of an element to oxidize.
REDUCTION POTENTIAL
It is the measure of tendency of an element to reduce.
UNIT OF ELECTRODE
POTENTIAL
Unit of electrode potential is "VOLT".
HYDROGEN ELECTRODE
Hydrogen electrode is the reference electrode used to compare electrode potential of
different electrode because absolute electrode potential can not be measured.
"A hydrogen electrode consists of a platinum bar immersed in 1.00M solution
of H2SO4. A current of pure hydrogen gas is passed through the solution
under 1.00 atmosphere. The platinum plate adsorbs hydrogen at its surface
and platinum plate is coated with hydrogen. The plate now behaves as if it
were made of hydrogen. The electrode potential of hydrogen electrode is
assumed to be 0.00V at all temperatures.".
ELECTRODE POTENTIAL OF ZINC

ELECTRODE
POTENTIAL OF
ZINC
In order to determine the electrode potential of zinc a voltaic cell is constructed by a zinc
electrode( a zinc strip dipped in 1.00 molar solution of ZnSO 4) and hydrogen electrode.
Salt bridge is made of potassium chloride (KCl) jelly which completes the circuit between
half cells and prevents mixing of solutions.
The potentiometer reading gives the E.M.F. of the cell which is 0.76 Volt. Since hydrogen
electrode has the potential of 0.00 Volt, hence potential of Zn electrode is 0.76 Volt.
0.76 - 0.00 = 0.76 Volt

In external circuit it is observed that the flow of electrons takes place from Zn to H.
Thus it concludes that the electrons must have originated from Zn i.e. it is oxidized and
it is anode and it is negative with respect to hydrogen electrode. Thus standard
reduction potential of zinc is - 0.76V.
The standard oxidation potential of zinc is therefore + 0.76V.

Ered = Eox
- 0.76 Volt = +0.76 Volt
The negative sign shows that the reaction at Zn electrode occurs in the opposite
direction and at Zn electrode oxidation takes place not reduction:
Reduction takes place on hydrogen electrode:

CHAPTER NO 8
CHEMICAL KINETICS
CHEMICAL KINETICS www.citycollegiate.com
The branch of chemistry, which deals with the "RATE" and the SPEED at which a
chemical reaction occurs, is called "CHEMICAL KINETICS". The study of chemical
kinetics, therefore, includes the rate of a chemical reaction and also the factors that
influence or alter or control the rate of chemical reactions. In chemical kinetics we
study how molecules react, bond breaking and new bond formation.
RATE OF A CHEMICAL
REACTION
"It is defined as the quantity of a reactant consumed or the
quantity of a product formed in unit time."
In other words:
The conversion of the number of moles of reactants into products in unit time. The
rate of reaction is not constant through out the activity but decreases with time due to
decrease in the concentration of reactants.
MATHEMATICALLY:
VELOCITY OF REACTION www.citycollegiate.com

Since the rate of reaction is not constant through out the reaction, therefore, we can
not determine the uniform rate of reaction precisely.

Thus velocity of reaction may be defined as the rate of reaction at a particular given
moment i.e. at a specific time.
If we consider a very small interval of time dt in which the change in concentration d
x is taken to be nearly constant, then velocity of reaction is given by:
Velocity of reaction is actually the instantaneous rate of reaction.

RATE EXPRESSION & RATE
CONSTANT
Consider a general reaction:
According to the law of mass action, rate of reaction is directly proportional to active
mass, hence for the above reaction:
This expression is called rate expression and K is called rate constant or velocity
constant.
CHARACTERISTICS OF RATE
CONSTANT
(i) It has a fixed value at a particular temperature.
(ii) Value of K varies with temperature.
(iii) Value of K remains unaltered with the change in concentration of reactants.
ORDER OF REACTION www.citycollegiate.com
"The order of reaction is defined as the sum of all the exponents
of the reactants involved in the rate equation."
It should be noted down that all the molecules shown in a chemical equation do not
determine the value of order of reaction but only those molecules whose
concentrations are changed are included in the determination the order of a reaction.
In other words:
"The number of reacting molecules whose concentration alters as a

result of chemical reaction is termed as the order of reaction."
For example:
2NO + O2 2NO2
dx/dt = k[NO]2[O2] , the reaction is of third order as 2 + 1 = 3
For a reaction maximum order is three and the minimum is zero.
FIRST ORDER REACTIONS
The reaction in which only one molecule undergoes a chemical change is called first
order reactions. Example:
N2O5  2NO2 + ½ O2
SECOND ORDER REACTIONS
The reaction in which two molecules undergo a chemical change is called second order
reactions. Example:
2CH3CHO 2CH4 + 2 CO
THIRD ORDER REACTIONS www.citycollegiate.com
The reaction in which only three molecules undergo a chemical change is called third
order reactions. Example:

DEFINITIONS
SPECIFIC RATE CONSTANT www.citycollegiate.com
Rate constant determined when the concentration of each reactant is unity i.e. one
mole/dm3 then K is called specific rate constant.
In other words:
Specific rate constant at a given temperature may be defined as the rate of reaction
when the molar concentration of each reactant is unity.
MOLECULARITY OF REACTION
The total number of molecules taking part in the rate determining step of a chemical
reaction is called "molecularity" of the reaction.
A reaction is unimolecular if only one molecule is involved in its rate-determining step.
A reaction is bimolecular if two molecules take part in its rate-determining step.
For example: C2H5OH C2H4 + H2O Is a unimolecular reaction because only one
molecule is involved.
REMEMBER: The molecularity of a reaction can not always be predicted by the
chemical equation alone, that every reaction must follow the rules of chemical
kinetics.
ENERGY OF ACTIVATION www.citycollegiate.com

For a collision to be effective, the sum of energy of colliding molecules must equals or
exceeds some minimum value called the activation energy of the reaction. It is the
minimum energy needed to convert reactants into products.
It is denoted by Ea
The activation depends upon the nature of the chemical bonds undergoing rupture.
Another definition of activation energy is that:
"The minimum energy which the reacting species must posses in order to be
able to
form an activated complex or transition state before proceeding to the
products".
Reactions having higher activation energy are slow while those having high energy of
activation proceed with slow speed.
EXPLANATION www.citycollegiate.com
A reaction takes place when molecules of reacting substances collide together. But all
the collision are not effective i.e. do not lead to the formation of product. It has been
found that only those collision are effective in which the colliding molecule possess a
minimum amount of energy known as threshold energy. Before collision the molecules
of reactants in their normal state do possess their respective internal energy, but their
average internal energy is less than threshold energy. Now the molecules must
acquire the difference of energy, to have effective collision. The excess energy that the
reactant molecules, having average energy less than the threshold energy,must
acquire in order to react and change into products is called activation energy. The
speed of a reaction depends upon the activation energy of molecules.
Activation energy = Threshold energy – Average internal energy
ACTIVATION ENERGY AND RATE OF
REACTION
The reactions having low activation energies take place with high speed.
The reactions having high activation energies take place with slow speed.
ACTIVATION ENERGY AND

TEMPERATURE
Reactions having low activation energies take place at low temperature
Reactions having high activation energies take place at high temperature
ACTIVATION ENERGY AND CATALYST www.citycollegiate.com
The presence of positive catalyst increases the rate of a reaction by decreasing the
energy of activation.
FACTORS AFFECTING RATE OF A CHEMICAL REACTION
Following are the main factors that influence the rate of a chemical reaction.
NATURE OF REACTANTS www.citycollegiate.com
Different reactants have different energies of activation. Reaction between polar or
ionic molecules is very fast. Oxidation-Reduction reactions are slower than ionic
reactions because they involve transfer of electrons and bond rearrangement. The
physical state of reacting substances are important in determining their reactivities.
The reaction in which ionic solutions are involved also take place at high speed
CONCENTRATION OF
REACTANTS
The concentration of reactants plays an important role in chemical kinetics. It is
usually true that by increasing the amount of reactants, the rate of reaction is
increased. As we know that an increase in concentration of reactants increases the
number of molecules. According to collision theory, the greater the number of
molecules the higher is the collision ratio, consequently faster is the rate of reaction.
SURFACE AREA OF
REACTANTS
In heterogeneous reactions, the rate of reaction depends upon the surface area of
solid reactant. Greater the surface area, higher is the rate of reaction. For example
finely divided calcium carbonate (marble) reacts more quickly with hydrochloric acid
than calcium carbonate chips. It is due to the fact that powered calcium carbonate
offers larger surface area to the reacting acid. In other words, by increasing the
surface area of reactant, rate of reaction increases due to greater contact between
individual particles and also due to the fact that the surface molecules reacts more
quickly.
TEMPERATURE www.citycollegiate.com
The rate of reaction increases with the rise of temperature. It can be explain by the
fact that at higher temperature, a greater fraction of colliding molecules posse the
necessary energy of activation
Generally an increase of every 10oK in temperature doubles the rate.
As the temperature increases the velocity of molecules also increases which results in
the increase in the frequency of collision.
The rise in temperature rises the kinetic energy of each molecule. It has been found
that by raising the temperature by 10k,the fraction of molecule possessing threshold
or activation energy becomes double. As a result the no of effective collision is also
double,hence rate is doubled
PRESENCE OF CATALYST www.citycollegiate.com

A catalyst is a substance, which controls the rate of reaction without itself undergoing
a permanent chemical change. Catalysts are of two types
POSITIVE CATALYST:
A positive catalyst increases the rate of reaction by lowering the energy of activation.
Thus in the presence of a positive catalyst, the greater fraction of the total molecule
will posses lower energy of activation and collided successfully in a short period of
time, there by increasing the rate of reaction
NEGATIVE CATALYST OR INHIBITOR:
A negative catalyst retards the rate of reaction. Negative catalyst do not lower the
energy of activation rather they are combined with reactant molecule thus decreasing
the number of colliding reactant molecules. This decreases the effective collisions,
hence rate of reaction.
ROLE OF POSITIVE
CATALYST
A positive catalyst functions by providing an alternate path to the reaction or by the
formation of a transition (intermediate) compound having low energy of activation.
The activation energy of this path is lower. As a result rate of reaction is increased.
ROLE OF NEGATIVE
CATALYST
A negative catalyst does not lower the energy of activation rather it combines with the
reactant molecules, thus decreasing the number of colliding reactant molecules. This
decreases the effective collisions , hence rate of reaction.
LIGHT OR RADIATION
Not all reactions are affected by light or radiation but few reactions, which are usually
free radicals, or photo chemical reactions are influenced by light. Light activates some
of the reactant molecules producing free radicals. Since free radicals are very exited,
therefore, they react immediately with other molecules to form products. The
concentration of reactants does not influence the rate of such reactions, so they are
zero order reaction. We know that that light consists of photon. When photons strike
the reactant molecule, they provide necessary activation energy to the reactant
molecules.
For example :
H2 + Cl 22HCl
