Term
What is another name for Dipole-Dipole interaction?
Definition
Keesom forces
Term
What is another name for Dipole-induced Dipole interaction?
Definition
Debye forces
Term
What is another name for Induced dipole-induced Dipole interaction?
Definition
London forces
Term
Describe Dipole-Dipole interactions
Definition
The strongest of the van der Waals forces; interaction is between permanent dipole molecules.

Raise boiling point.

Ex. Water, HCl, alcohol, and acetone
Term
Describe Dipole-induced Dipole interactions
Definition
The interaction is between permanent dipole and temporary dipole molecules.

A polar molecule (e.g. HCl) can produce a temporary dipole in nonpolar molecules that are easily polarizable such as ethylacetate, methylene chloride, and ether.
Term
Describe Induced dipole-induced Dipole interactions
Definition
The weakest of the van der Waals forces. The interaction is between temporary dipole molecules.

Temporary dipoles are formed by nonpolar molecules during transient electron cloud distortions.
Term
Where do you see Dipole-induced Dipole interactions?
Definition
They are involved with the solubility of some nonpolar compounds in ethanol, and propanolol.
Term
Where do you see Induced dipole-induced Dipole interactions?
Definition
These forces are responsible for the liquefaction of nonpolar gases (e.g. O2) and are present in phospholipid bilayers of cell membranes.
Term
Describe hydrogen bonds
Definition
Hydrogen bonding is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom such as N, O or F.

These bonds can be intermolecular or intramolecular.
Term
Why is the boiling point of water so high?
Definition
Hydrogen bonding
Term
List four intermolecular forces other than Hydrogen bonds or Van der Waal's
Definition
Ion-Ion e.g. Na+ and Cl- in water
Ion-Dipole e.g. Na+ and HCl
Ion-Charged surface e.g. packaging bottles used in pharmacy
Dipole-Charged surface e.g. packaging bottles used in pharmacy
Term
Describe the ideal gas law
Definition
PV=nRT

P= pressure in atm
V=Volume in liters n=Moles of gas R=.0821 T=temperature in Kelvin (C+273)
Term
In the ideal gas law, what else can n equal besides the moles of gas?
Definition
Weight of gas/ molecular weight of gas
Term
Describe Dalton's Law
Definition
Ptotal = p1 + p2 +…+pn

p=partial pressure of gas=moles gas x pressure exerted by gas
Term
Define plasma
Definition
Charged, ionized matter that is not solid, liquid, or gas

Ex. lightning, neon lights
Term
Define "system" in terms of thermodynamics
Definition
A part of the universe under consideration.
Term
Define "surrounding" in terms of thermodynamics
Definition
The entire universe except the system. A boundary separates the system from the surrounding.
Term
What is the difference between an open and a closed system?
Definition
Open system: energy and matter can be exchanged with the surrounding.

Closed system: only energy can be exchanged with the surrounding
Term
What is the difference between an isolated and a closed system?
Definition
In an isolated, neither energy nor matter can be exchanged with the surrounding

In closed, energy can be exchanged
Term
What is the 1st law of thermodynamics?
Definition
Energy can neither be created nor destroyed but only transferred from one form to the other
Term
Define enthalpy
Definition
A measure of the total energy of a system. It is also referred to as heat content
Term
Define Heat of Formation
Definition
The change of heat content in a reaction when 1 mole of a compound is formed from its elements in STP
Term
What is ΔHf of an element in its standard state? (Ex. O2 is in its standard state)
Definition
Zero
Term
How do you solve for ΔHr (enthalpy/heat of reaction)?
Definition
ΔHr = ΔHf (products) – ΔHf (reactants)
Term
If the ΔHr of a reaction is positive, is it exothermic or endothermic?
Definition
Endothermic
Term
What is Hess' law?
Definition
The change in enthalpy (ΔH) of a reaction depends on the initial and final states of the system, and is independent of the number of steps or pathway required to complete the process.
Term
Define entropy
Definition
A factor that provides the quantitative description of randomness or disorder of the system. It is fundamental in predicting the spontaneity of chemical reactions.
Term
What is the 2nd law of thermodynamics?
Definition
For any spontaneous process in an isolated system, there is an increase in entropy

ie, disorder increases
Term
What is the 3rd law of thermodynamics?
Definition
The entropy of a pure crystalline substance is zero at absolute zero.

ie, at absolute zero there is no thermal energy or heat, and therefore the molecules do not move, and hence there is no disorder. A pure perfect crystal will have only one possible configuration.
Term
Define Gibb's free energy (G)
Definition
The potential which causes a chemical reaction to move forward under isothermal/isobaric conditions. As such, it is a criterion of spontaneity for processes with constant temperature and pressure.
Term
If the ΔG of a reaction is negative, is the reaction spontaneous?
Definition
Yes, (-)ΔG=spontaneous

(+)ΔG=nonspontaneous
Term
What are the equations to solve the change in free energy of solute associated with change in concentration?
Definition
ΔG = n RT x ln(a2/a1)

ΔG = 2.303n RTxlog(a2/a1)
Term
Define heat of vaporization
Definition
The heat absorbed when 1g or 1mol of a liquid is vaporized

(This number will be higher if the liquid is less readily vaporized)
Term
How is the vapor pressure and boiling point of a liquid related?
Definition
They are inversely related
Term
How is the vapor pressure and temperature of a liquid related?
Definition
They are directly related
Term
Define heat of fusion
Definition
The heat required to increase the molecular distance in the solid phase to form the liquid phase
Term
What three states do solids exist in?
Definition
Crystalline, amorphous, and polymeric
Term
Define crystalline
Definition
The molecules or atoms are arranged in repetitious three-dimensional lattice structure. They have a definite geometric form with six common structures, and a definite boiling point
Term
Define polymorphic and give an example
Definition
Having more than one crystalline structure

Cocoa butter
Term
Define enantiotropic
Definition
A polymorphic solid that can reversibly change its crystal structure, usually a result of temperature or solvent changes in the system.
Term
Define monotropic
Definition
A quality of a solid when a polymorphic form irreversibly converts to a different crystal
Term
Define solvate
Definition
The product when solvent becomes trapped in the crystal lattice of a solid (in a fixed molar ratio)
Term
Define hydrate
Definition
A solvate when the solute is water
Term
Define amorphous
Definition
Solids without definite order of arrangement of atoms or molecules. They have no definite m.p. as the temperature for transition to a liquid is a range of several degrees.
Term
Give a drug example where amorphous and crystalline forms are used
Definition
The amorphous form of insulin is used for rapid action, while the crystalline form is used for long action.
Term
Define polymeric
Definition
Large units of repeating molecules connected by covalent bonds, usually carbon based if drug related

Can help solubility of drugs
Term
Define eutectic point
Definition
The point where the melting point of two mixed solids is lower than the separate melting points
Term
Define eutectic mixture
Definition
A mixture of two solids that is liquid (due to lower m.p.) even though separate the solids would not have melted
