3tl5gAwHj6w-002|It's called valence shell electron pair repulsion.
3tl5gAwHj6w-003|That is, you have electron pairs and either bonds or lone pairs and they repel each other, and you'd like to distribute them in space as far apart as possible.
3tl5gAwHj6w-004|So how do you do that?
3tl5gAwHj6w-005|Well, you know the steric number is the number of lone pairs and the number of bonded atoms-- that tells you how many things you have to distribute in space.
3tl5gAwHj6w-006|We can look at that for several examples.
3tl5gAwHj6w-007|For instance, if we have six things distributed in space, here are six balloons distributed around the central point.
3tl5gAwHj6w-008|And the balloons touching each other demonstrates the steric interaction, how everything is trying to spread itself out as far as possible in space.
3tl5gAwHj6w-009|And what you get is this kind of arrangement.
3tl5gAwHj6w-010|In this arrangement, all the positions are equivalent, even though I've got red and yellow balloons.
3tl5gAwHj6w-011|The yellow balloons or the green balloons could be on top, each position is identical.
3tl5gAwHj6w-012|But what you have here is an octahedral shape.
3tl5gAwHj6w-013|An octahedral shape is six things arranged around a central point-- six vertices.
3tl5gAwHj6w-018|What if I have five things?
3tl5gAwHj6w-019|Well, with a balloon, it's easy to go from six to five.
3tl5gAwHj6w-024|So here's a 90-degree bond angle between green and yellow, but the green greens are 120 degrees.
3tl5gAwHj6w-028|We'll lose one more of our balloons.
3tl5gAwHj6w-029|Four things.
3tl5gAwHj6w-030|Now here's a tetrahedral shape.
3tl5gAwHj6w-031|Notice that these four things don't naturally arrange themselves as a square plane.
3tl5gAwHj6w-032|I could probably force them into a square planar configuration, but I have to hold them there.
3tl5gAwHj6w-039|So you can see this VSEPR arrangement is better energetically, the electron pairs have bigger angles, more space between them.
AV5nRtwehD0-000|Let's see if you can predict some bond orders.
AV5nRtwehD0-001|Here we'll take nitrite going to nitrate-- NO2- to NO3-.
AV5nRtwehD0-002|In that conversion, it's an oxidation.
AV5nRtwehD0-008|We're looking at NO2- and NO3- and how the bond order changes when I do that oxidation reaction.
AV5nRtwehD0-009|Now, the way to do this is to draw a Lewis dot structure and all the resonance structures for NO2- and NO3- and determine the bond order.
AV5nRtwehD0-010|Now I know you can do that, so I'm going to show you a shortcut that also works.
AV5nRtwehD0-011|What we're going to recognize is that NO2- is isoelectronic with something we already know-- ozone.
AV5nRtwehD0-012|Ozone has 3 oxygen atoms, each has 6 valence electrons, so that's 18 electrons.
AV5nRtwehD0-013|Ozone is an 18-electron system.
AV5nRtwehD0-014|What about NO2-?
AV5nRtwehD0-015|Well, let's look at the periodic table.
AV5nRtwehD0-016|NO2-, here's oxygen with its 6 valence electrons.
AV5nRtwehD0-017|Nitrogen with 5.
AV5nRtwehD0-019|So in total, we have 6 electrons from each oxygen, that's 12, 5 from the nitrogen, that 17, 1 from the charge, that's 18.
AV5nRtwehD0-020|So an 18-electron system.
AV5nRtwehD0-022|So if I have the same number of atoms, the same number of electrons, they'll bond together in the same way.
AV5nRtwehD0-025|We already know the carbonate bond order is 1 and 1/3.
AV5nRtwehD0-026|So going from 1 and 1/2 to 1 and 1/3 in that oxidation reaction decreases the bond order.
AV5nRtwehD0-027|The correct answer here-- decreases.
BSnGqJsLCZA-000|Acid strength is dependent on a variety of factors.
BSnGqJsLCZA-001|Certainly one of them is the strength of the bond holding the proton on the molecule.
BSnGqJsLCZA-004|And that equilibrium constant is determined not just by enthalpic or bond strength considerations.
BSnGqJsLCZA-005|It's also entropic considerations.
BSnGqJsLCZA-006|Remember, K for this reaction depends on the standard state free energy difference between the products and reactants.
BSnGqJsLCZA-007|In fact, we define weak acids as having a K less than 1 or a positive free energy difference.
BSnGqJsLCZA-008|And strong acids as a K greater than 1 for this reaction or a spontaneous or negative standard state free energy difference.
BSnGqJsLCZA-009|So it's an enthalpic and an entropic term.
BSnGqJsLCZA-013|HF, it takes 543 kilojoules to break that bond.
BSnGqJsLCZA-014|Where HBr, only 354 kilojoules to break that bond.
BSnGqJsLCZA-018|In this case, depended upon the strengths of the bond holding the proton on the molecule.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-000|Let's look at another physical equilibrium, the solid gas sublimation equilibrium for iodine.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-001|I've written the reaction here, iodine solid going to iodine gas.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-002|The question I have is what happens when I add more iodine solid to this equilibrium?
t-WkmDPN8Ws-003|What happens to the intensity of the I2 gas?
t-WkmDPN8Ws-011|We're talking about the sublimation of iodine going from the solid to the gas.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-013|So an equilibrium that's dynamic, but from a macroscopic sense it appears static.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-014|Let's look at the equilibrium expression if we write products over reactants.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-015|For this we would have the partial pressure of the I2 gas, I2 solid, that's a pure solid.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-016|And pure liquids and solids don't appear in our equilibrium expressions.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-019|If it's independent of the solid, then as I add solid I shouldn't expect this equilibrium to change.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-020|Doesn't appear in the equilibrium expression, the solid, so the solid doesn't affect the equilibrium expression.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-021|Let's actually see if that happens.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-022|What I have here is the solid and vapor in equilibrium.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-031|The equilibrium constant is a function only of the vapor pressure.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-035|But at the same time, I've added that more solid, that gives more surface area for the vapor that's there to condense back on the solid.
t-WkmDPN8Ws-036|So I don't change the position of equilibrium.
-DM5LRsQNbA-000|Let's look at the equilibrium between NO2 gas and N2O4 if we change the temperature.
-DM5LRsQNbA-001|So given this equilibrium, what happens to the color intensity when I raise the temperature?
-DM5LRsQNbA-002|Will it increase, decrease, or stay the same?
-DM5LRsQNbA-009|We're talking about the equilibrium between NO2 and N2O4.
-DM5LRsQNbA-010|NO2, a brown gas, N2O4, a clear gas.
-DM5LRsQNbA-011|Now we know that this is an exothermic chemical reaction, so heat is a product.
-DM5LRsQNbA-012|If we add heat, then we'd expect the equilibrium to shift back towards reactants to relieve that stress by Le Chatelier's principle.
-DM5LRsQNbA-014|So let's see that happen.
-DM5LRsQNbA-015|I have two flasks here, both with the N2O4 and the NO2 gas.
-DM5LRsQNbA-016|The NO2 gas is the brown gas, the reactant.
-DM5LRsQNbA-017|I'm going to heat one and cool the other to see the effect of temperature.
-DM5LRsQNbA-018|We expect that the hotter, the higher temperature will be darker.
-DM5LRsQNbA-019|Let's see that happen.
-DM5LRsQNbA-026|So that's a beautiful effect.
-DM5LRsQNbA-027|And in fact, it's common for equilibrium constants to behave like this.
-DM5LRsQNbA-028|If you have an equilibrium constant for an exothermic reaction, the equilibrium constant will decrease with temperature.
-DM5LRsQNbA-032|Now this is actually the equilibrium constant changing.
-DM5LRsQNbA-033|So this is not a shift where q changes, it's actually k that changes.
-DM5LRsQNbA-034|So I go to a k that smaller, a smaller k means bigger denominator, more reactants.
-DM5LRsQNbA-035|The color increases, k gets smaller.
rYgOBHeQyjA-000|Let's look at a titration where we dilute the solution and then titrate again.
rYgOBHeQyjA-001|So I'm going to titrate the strong acid, nitric acid, HNO3, with the strong base, potassium hydroxide.
rYgOBHeQyjA-002|I'm then going to dilute it and do the titration again.
rYgOBHeQyjA-003|So shown here in yellow is the initial titration.
rYgOBHeQyjA-004|I'm going to dilute by a factor of 10, just add water, titrate again.
rYgOBHeQyjA-012|We're looking at two titrations, one where we've diluted by a factor of 10.
rYgOBHeQyjA-013|If you dilute a strong acid solution by a factor of 10, you change the H3O+ concentration by a factor of 10, and you increase the pH by one unit.
rYgOBHeQyjA-014|So the initial pH should be one unit higher than the undiluted.
rYgOBHeQyjA-015|But in dilution, you're just adding water.
rYgOBHeQyjA-016|You're not adding any more moles of acid.
rYgOBHeQyjA-017|So the same number of moles of acid are there.
rYgOBHeQyjA-018|So it requires the same number of moles of base to reach equivalence point.
nyp9rT6pRXo-001|That's a fancy way of saying water absorbs energy as it boils.
