Final Exam Objectives

Final version as of August 2, 2000

The Final Exam Objectives include those presented for Exams 1, 2, and 3
and these listed below:

Be able to

1 Work problems similar to those assigned in the text book and Chem SkillBuilder and presented in the lecture, quizzes, and worksheets
2 Apply Raoult's and Henry's Laws to solutions and distinguish between them in application.
3 Discuss and calculate boiling point elevation and freezing point depression, and describe the origins of the phenomena. The expressions and constants will be provided.
4 State what is meant by terms such as colligative properties, initial reaction rate, reaction order, activation energy, transition state, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis,
5 Discuss the meaning of osmotic pressure and account for examples of it.
6 Describe what is meant by reaction rate, and determine reaction rate from suitable data.
7 Describe the four factors that affect reaction rate and explain qualitatively why these factors have the effect they do.
8 State what is meant by the "rate law" of a reaction and determine the rate constant and exponents to concentrations from suitable data.
9 Describe what is meant by reactions of zero, first, and second order.
10 Use the integrated rate expresssion for a first order reaction to solve problems involving reactant amounts as a function of time.
11 Use the concept of a half-life of a first order reaction to estimate reactant amounts at various times.
12 Describe the main tenents of Collision Theory and Transition State Theory, and discuss applications of those theories.
13 Obtain the activation energy of a reaction from reaction rate constants at different temperatures.
14 Describe what is meant by a Reaction Mechanism, and obtain a Rate Law for a reaction from a mechanism with a single rate-determining step.
15 Describe the role of a catalyst in speeding up a reaction for the cases of a metal surface and an enzyme.
16 Construct the equilibrium constant expression from an overall reaction, and explain why the "kinetics view" accounts for the expression.
17 Solve equilibrium expressions involving Kc or Kp to predict amounts of reactants and products at equilibrium, starting with non-equilibrium amounts.
18 Predict the direction a reaction will proceed if the computed Qc is not equal to the equilibrium constant.
19 Use LeChatlier's Principle to predict the direction an equilibrium will shift when a stress or change is imposed.  The stress could be a change in volume, total pressure, moles of reactant or product, or temperature.
