3.2.1 Molar Mass
Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance. It is calculated by summing the atomic masses of all the atoms in a molecule.
3.3 Stoichiometric Calculations
Stoichiometric calculations involve using the balanced chemical equation to determine the amount of reactants or products involved in a reaction.
3.3.1 Limiting Reactant
The limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed in a reaction, determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed.
3.3.2 Theoretical Yield
The theoretical yield is the maximum amount of product that can be obtained from a reaction, based on stoichiometric calculations.
Chapter 4: Chemical Reactions and Energy
Chemical reactions involve the transformation of reactants into products, accompanied by the exchange of energy.
4.1 Types of Chemical Reactions
Combination Reactions: Two or more substances combine to form a single product.
Decomposition Reactions: A single substance breaks down into two or more simpler substances.
Displacement Reactions: One element replaces another element in a compound.
Double Displacement Reactions: Two compounds exchange ions to form two new compounds.
4.2 Energy Changes in Chemical Reactions
Chemical reactions can be either exothermic or endothermic.
4.2.1 Exothermic Reactions
Exothermic reactions release energy in the form of heat or light. The products have less energy than the reactants.
4.2.2 Endothermic Reactions
Endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surroundings. The products have more energy than the reactants.
4.3 Thermochemistry
Thermochemistry is the study of the energy changes that occur during chemical reactions.
4.3.1 Enthalpy
Enthalpy (H) is a measure of the total energy of a system. The change in enthalpy (ΔH) during a reaction indicates whether the reaction is exothermic or endothermic.
4.3.2 Hess's Law
Hess's Law states that the total enthalpy change for a reaction is independent of the pathway taken. It allows for the calculation of enthalpy changes for reactions that cannot be measured directly.
Chapter 5: Solutions and Concentration
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures composed of a solvent and one or more solutes.
5.1 Solubility
Solubility refers to the ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent. It depends on factors such as temperature, pressure, and the nature of the solute and solvent.
5.2 Concentration
Concentration is a measure of the amount of solute present in a given amount of solvent or solution.
5.2.1 Molarity
Molarity (M) is the number of moles of solute per liter of solution. It is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the volume of the solution in liters.
5.2.2 Molality
Molality (m) is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent. It is calculated by dividing the moles of solute by the mass of the solvent in kilograms.
5.3 Colligative Properties
Colligative properties are properties of solutions that depend on the number of solute particles, rather than the identity of the solute.
5.3.1 Vapor Pressure Lowering
The vapor pressure of a solution is lower than that of the pure solvent due to the presence of solute particles.
5.3.2 Boiling Point Elevation
The boiling point of a solution is higher than that of the pure solvent due to the presence of solute particles.

Chemical equilibrium is a state in which the concentrations of reactants and products in a reaction remain constant over time.
8.1 Equilibrium Constants
Equilibrium constants are ratios that express the relationship between the concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium.
8.2 Le Chatelier's Principle
Le Chatelier's Principle states that if a system at equilibrium is subjected to a change in conditions, the system will adjust to minimize the effect of that change.
8.3 Dynamic Equilibrium
Dynamic equilibrium is a state in which the forward and reverse reactions occur at the same rate, resulting in no net change in the concentrations of reactants and products.
Chapter 9: Thermodynamics
Thermodynamics is the study of energy and its transformations in chemical systems.
9.1 First Law of Thermodynamics
The first law of thermodynamics, also known as the law of conservation of energy, states that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or transformed.
9.2 Second Law of Thermodynamics
The second law of thermodynamics states that the entropy of an isolated system always increases over time.
9.3 Entropy and Gibbs Free Energy
Entropy (S) is a measure of the disorder or randomness of a system. Gibbs free energy (G) is a measure of the energy available to do work in a system.
9.4 Spontaneity and Equilibrium
A reaction is spontaneous if it leads to an increase in the total entropy of the system. Equilibrium is reached when the Gibbs free energy change (ΔG) is zero.
