CHEM 122 MIDTERM EXAM 2026
Lewis acid - -Electron pair acceptor
Lewis base - -Electron pair donor
Arrhenius acid - -A substance when placed in water increases the H+ concentration
Arrhenius base - -A substance when placed in water increases the OH- concentration
Bronsted-Lowry base - -Proton acceptor
Bronsted-Lowry acid - -Proton donor
pH - --log [H+]
Henderson-Hasselbalch equation - -pH=pKa + log [base/acid]
1st law of thermodynamics - -Heat and energy are conserved
2nd law of thermodynamics - -Change in S univ =0 for spontaneous processes and >0
for nonspontaneous processes
3rd law of thermodynamics - -Entropy of pure cyrstalline solid is 0 at 0 K
Half life of first order reactions - -t 1/2 = 0.693/k
Arrhenius equation - -k=Ae^-Ea/RT + ln A
Logarithmic form of Arrhenius equation - -Ln k=-Ea/RT +ln A
First order rate law - -ln [A]t/[A]0 =-kt
Second order rate law - -1/[A]t=kt +1/[A]0
Dispersion forces - -operates between all molecules, weakest intermolecular force
Dipole-dipole forces - -Between two dipoles
Hydrogen bonding - -Can only occur with O-H, F-H and N-H bonds, stronger than
dipole-dipole
Ion dipole - -Bonding between an ion and dipole, strongest
