There are Learning Check Questions designed to focus on a specific skill, and there are endl of chapter questions that mimic the type of questions that IB Chemistry exams contain. ‘This book also highlights spots where students can often go wrong, where they get “trapped” by a tricky question, and how they should present their answers. Who this book is for... ‘This book is intended for students who have already been through the course material with a teacher and other re- sources. No text book can replace the ability of a teacher to guide student understanding. How to use this book. ‘In many places in this text there is space for you to fill in information, but there is nota lot of blank space. You should kkeep a separate setof revision notes that are a hybrid of this book, your notes, your text ete. Other resources While studying it is important that you also have the following materials. ‘The Syllabus: You should use this as a check list, and understand what you know, and more importantly, what you don't know. ‘The Data Booklet To date, the data booklet has not been used heavily by IBO during the exams, but you should be familiar with whatis in i Past Papers: All teachers and IB Co-ordinators have access to past papers. Do as many as you can to get yourself familiar with the siyle and type of questions. Your own course notes. - Hopefully you have maintained an accurate record of the material that you have covered in your classes. You should compare the way your teacher presents information, the way your textbook presents informa- tion, and the way information is presented here. They should all be effectively the same! - However, perhaps one makes, more sense to you. Compare and learn! How to study ‘The best way to study for retention of information is to put yourself on a repeating cycle. During your course, you have to do the daily work that the teacher assigns, but if you can, you should also regularly. + Review what you did yesterday (last class) + Review what you did last week + Review what you did last month. A tall order, but very effective ifyou can find the tine - really you should make tinge - i's well invested as it will save you trying to “re-lsarn” everything. 1B HL Chemistry C.Lumsden Exam Review Time ‘You no doubt have six exams that you need to study for, but probably not all of them have the same priority. ‘Whatever the subject, you are best trying to learn slowly and regularly. If you have purchased this book in the Spring, before your exams, you should make a plan to work on each unit ofthe course, You will probably need at least a week for each topic to. + make notes + learn definitions + make flash cards (great if you take a bus to schoo!) + practice specific problem types + do past paper questions Awarning! Cramming doesn't work. You either are not effective in learning material, you leatn it superficially, or you rrun out of time to generate real understanding. Slow and steady wins the race! The Exams you face. Paper x-1:00 hour: 45 Multiple Choice questions (4 choices). No penalty for guessing. NO CALCULATOR, NO DATABOOK Papera-anishours: Part A - Data based questions & short answer 40 points. Part B - Extended response - choice of 2 of 4 questions 25 points each. Calculator and Databook allowed. Paper 3-130 hours: You answer questions on the two option topics that you have studied. Short answer only. Paper 1 & 2 are written “back to back” on the afternoon of the given day. Meaning that you will be in the exam room for a possible 3:30 hours - by the time you get sented etc. Get comfortable! Paper 2 & 3 are allowed 5 minutes reading time. Use this time in Paper 2 te start considering the choice of which questions you will answer - Don't waste time pre-reading Part A - you have to do it anyway!

Example 1B HL Chemistry Introduction Jeremias Benjaim Richter (1762-1807) was the first to lay down the principles of stoichiometry. In 179 he wrote: “Die Stichyometrie (Stichyometria) ist die Wissenschaft die Quantitativen oder Massenverhalenisse zu messen, in welchen die chymischen Elemente gegen einander stehen “Stoichiometry is the science of measuring the quantitative proportions or mass ratios in which chemical elements stand to one another.” ‘Or more'simply put, everything in this unit isa simple ratio. As long.as you know one quantity. you can figure out the others by applying a ratio. Be clear and organized. You may have many numbers floating around on your page. It’s very help- fulif after solving a step ina problem, you write * n=s.s mol of H," or n(H,)=5.§ mol not just “SS” always include the units and the species, to remind yourself of what you have solved for. ‘Throughout this unit (and all others), you should be obeying the rules of significant figures. Significant Figures are covered in Chapter 1. Worked examples in this chapters show intermediate answers which are :ounded to the appro- priate number of significant figures, However, the calculator answer is retained for further steps You should retain the calculator value in your calculations, and only round the final answer. Mole Concept ‘Chemists work on a particle basis ~ one particle of this reacts with three particles of that to peaduce two particles of something else. It doesn't matter at the moment what those particles actually are — they could be atoms, diatomic molecules, larger molecules, ions, electrons, etc. The problem is that it takes an avful lot of particles to get an amount that can be manipulated on the “human scale" ~ as opposed to the “atomic scale”. So knowing what the atomic masses were in terms of protons, neutrons (and electrons), it was decided that we would use the same value of atomic mass and scale it up to the “gram-equivalent mass’. As long as all elements were scaled up the same amount, the relative mass would be the same Teturns out that the scale factor i rather large (because atoms are rather small!) ~ itis 6.02x10%, ‘One mole contains the same number of particles as 12.000 g of "C. 12,000 g of "°C contains 6.02x10" of carbon atoms. Now, you have to be careful of what types of particles you are talking about. 1.0 mal of H,O contains. (Notes) 6.02110" molecules of water alsa called "Avogadro's Number” 6.02220" oxygen atoms the same number of oxygen atoms .2xi0% atoms of hydrogen double the number of hydrogen atoms 1.8x10" total atoms triple the number of total atoms ‘C.Lumsden Units Just to put moles into perspective - moles are the same as any other unit. Moles measure the “amount of substance’, which fundamentally means the number of particles - not the qualities of those particles, like mass or volume.

The easiest is to remember the idea- it takes 6.02810” particles to make 1.0.mol ‘Number of Particles Remember: it doesn’t matter what mass the particles have ~ you are just converting the number it like converting single eggs to dozens of eggs and vice versa ~ this is easy, because the value for “dozen is always 12, umber of moles x 6.02x10" Determine the number of particles in the following amounts. @) 2.0 mol of neon +b) 0.125 mol of zoopers 6) 1S mol of widgets 4) 1.25410? mol of ions 8 (2.5 umolofelectrons* 1) 4.35 x10° mol of particles ) 53 mo of gld ams 1) 15x10? mol of things *u Determine the number of moles inthe following amounts. 9) 6.02 x10 b) 2.26 xl0# 6) 331 x10" ) 753 x10” ©) 346 x10" 1) 5.27 x10" 8) 2.56 x10" ) 1.05 x10" "Amount" always means moles Expression 1 Learning Check 1.2 Learning Check C.Lumsden IB HL Chemistry Example 1.3 Learning Check Expression Expression 14 Learning Check 1.5 Learning ‘Check IB HL Chemistry Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, and is the “gram- equivalent mass” of the relative atomic mass on the periodic table, “The easiest way to think about this is that the mass numbers on the periodic table can be thought of as follows. 2atom of oxygen = 16 atomic mass units (8p + 8 n) 6.o2x10” atoms of oxygen 6.00 g of oxygen atoms 1 mol of oxygen atoms = 16.00 g of oxygen atoms orice the last two are the same! “The numbers on the periodic table are for ONE MOLE or ONE ATOM, so everything is just a multiple of it.

Balancing equations means that you multiply each (correct) formula by a coefficient so that you ‘obtain equal numbers of each type of atom on each side of the equation. Some people say there are rules for balancing equations, but they are more lke guidelines. The best guideline is Leave uncombined elements until the end ~ e.g, O,(g), H,(g), K(s), etc., because when you change Tip their coefficient, you don't mess up anything else! [Atthe moment, we don't want any fractions ~ so you may have double ll coefficients in order to clear the fraction. Later we might need to use fractions because our equation must obey a definition (usually in order to produce only one mole of product) ~ See Energetics - Heat of Combustion and Heat of Formation.

Mass Relationships in a Chemical Reaction Simple stoichiometry questions always follow the same three steps, and you have done them already, Yu just combine a mass - mole conversion ard then apply the ratio from the balanced fequation. The molar mass is always for ONE mole, De not apply the coefficient to the molar Common ‘mass, That would mean that the molar mass of hydrogen depends on what it was reacting with Mistake doesn't. The ratio of coefficients is used to convert from moles of one species into moles of another species. Consider the reaction of 24 g of hydrogen in each of the following reactions: 2H,(g) + 08) > 2H,0) 3H,(8) + N,(g) * 2NH,(g) WRONG - It's wrong to say that you have ag g +4 gemol* = 6 mol in the water reaction and 2g +6 g+mol* = 4 mol of hydrogen in the ammonia reaction. The males of hydrogen you have are independent of the reaction itis undergoing CORRECT - Because you have the same number of grams in both, you have the same number of moles in both — ie, 24 g+2 gemol! = 12 moles of hydrogen. “The ratio of the moles of hydrogen to oxygen or nitrogen is 2: or 3:1 respectively and is used to find out information about the other species in the reaction, inthis case, nitrogen or oxygen oF the products.

[As far as you are concerned, it's the same as the previous question, but now you have been given two (or more) reactants and you need ta decide which one (there is always only one) wll give you the correct amount of product. Determine the number of moles of each reactant Determine the limiting reactant — is the new step Use the limiting reactant to find the moles of the product (just like before) Calculate the mass of the product. ~ just like before. So how do.we do the new step? ‘There are lots of ways, but remember the limiting reactant is determined to be the reactant which has the fewest number of moles in ferms of the molar ratio of reactants. (It’s the last bit that lots of students forget) ‘The easiest way to compare the number of moles of each reactant with respect to the molar ratio, required is to do.a quick check by forcing the ratio to be against r. In order to do this, divide the moles of each reactant by its Coefficient in the balanced equation, THIS IS A CHECK ONLY ~ YOU DO NOT USE THIS NUMBER FOR ANY CALCULATIONS.

Pres: Definition Pressure - the force of the particles’ collisions on the container walls Pressure can be measured in many different ways, all of which have some historical basis. However, the two common pressure units in 1B Chemistry are kilopascals (KPa) and atmospheres farm), IB HL Chemistry C.Lumsden t Boyle’s Law Boyle's Law is the relationship between volume and pressure. Pressure and volume are inversely proportional. As the volume decreases, the particles are forced closer together and so, the hhumber of collisions increases, and thus pressure increases.

As temperature increases, the kinetic energy of the particles increases, therefore they are collid- ing with the sides of the container with greater frequency and force. Both of these factors cause the pressure to increase.

Now We con- sider how changing the number of moles (amount) of gas affects its volume. Avogadro's Law isthe telstionship between numberof particles and volume Bavogadro’s Law: Equal volumes of gas (under equal conditions) must contain an equal number of moles of gas. ‘Or put another way, volume is proportional to the number of moles at constant pressure, or pres- sure is proportional to the number of moles at constant volume. Avogadro’s Law of Combining Volumes popular type of multiple-choice question on Paper 1.
