A Working Method Approach for Introductory Physical Chemistry Calculations is a concise inexpensive introduction to first year chemistry that is aimed at students who are weak in chemistry or have no chemistry on entry to university. Such students usually find physical chemistry the most difficult part of the chemistry course, and within this section numerical problem solving is an additional difficulty. The text should also be invaluable to first year intending chemists. This text provides an introduction to physical chemistry and the gas laws, followed by chapters on thermodynamics, chemical equilibrium, electrochemistry and chemical kinetics. Each section involves a brief introduction followed by a representative examination question, which is broken down into a proposed working method. Both short multiple-choice questions and related full examination-type questions are included. This book will prove invaluable to students who need encouragement in a logical approach to problem solving in physical chemistry, teaching them to think for themselves when faced with a problem.

CHAPTER 1
Introduction to Physical Chemistry: Acids and Bases, The Gas Laws and Numerical and Graphical Problem Solving
INTRODUCTION
This chapter is a brief introduction to many of the assumptions made in the remainder of this text and the basis of physical chemistry type problems. The spider diagram of Figure 1.1 illustrates the various sections.
STATES OF MATTER
Mutter is the chemical term for materials. There are three states of matter: the solid phase (s), the liquid phase (1) and the gaseous phase (g). In the solid phase, all the atoms or molecules are arranged in a highly ordered manner [Figure 1,2(a)], whereas in the liquid phase [Figure 1.2(b)], this ordered structure is not as evident. In the gaseous phase [Figure 1.2(c)), all the particles are moving at high velocity, in random motion. The disorder or entropy, S, is at its maximum in the gaseous phase [Figure 1.2(c)].
If a species is dissolved in water, it is said to be in the aqueous phase (aq), and the symbol can be represented as a subscript, e.g. HCl(aq).
ACIDS AND BASES
An acid is a proton (H+) donor and a base is a proton acceptor, e.g. (OH-). Examples of acids include HCl, H2SO4, HNO3, HCN and CH3CO2H. A monoprotic acid is an acid with one replaceable proton, e.g. HCl (eA = 1); a diprotic acid is an acid with two replaceable protons e.g. H2SO4 (eA = 2) etc., where eA is the number of reactive species. A dilute acid is an acid which contains a small amount of acid dissolved in a large quantity of water, whereas a concentrated acid is an acid which contains a large amount of acid dissolved in a small quantity of water.
Examples of bases include NaOH (eB = 1), KOH (eB = 1), Ba(OH)2 (eB = 2), Ca(OH)2 (eB. An acid combines with a base to form a salt and water:
i.e. ACID + BASE [right arrow] SALT + WATER
e.g. HNO3 + NaOH [right arrow] NaNO3 + H2O
In general, an acid can be represented as HA, where HA [right arrow] H+ + A- or, more precisely, HA + H2O [right arrow] A- + H3O+, since all aqueous protons are solvated by water. Likewise, a base containing hydroxide anions, OH-, can be represented as MOH, where MOH [right arrow] M+ + OH-.
When an acid donates a proton, H+, it is said to form the conjugate base of the acid, i.e. HA (acid) [??] H+ + A- (conjugate base). The conjugate base is a base since it can accept a proton to reform HA, the acid. Similarly, when a base accepts a proton, H+, the conjugate acid of the base is said to be formed, i.e. B (base) + H+ [??] HB+ (conjugate acid). The conjugate acid is an acid since it can donate a proton, H+, and reform the base, e.g. NH4+ (conjugate acid) [??] NH3 (base) + H+.
Ions, Cations, Anions, Oxyanions and Oxyacids
Ions are charged species, e.g. Na+, Cl-, NH4+etc. Cations are positively charged ions, e.g. Na+, NH4+, Mg2+, H3O+etc. Anions are negatively charged species, e.g. OH-, Cl-, O2-etc. A useful way of remembering this is the two n's, i.e. anion = negatively charged ion! An oxyanion, as its name suggests, is an anion containing oxygen, e.g. NO-3, SO2-4etc. An oxyacid is the corresponding acid of the oxyanion, e.g. HNO3 and H2SO4 are the oxyacids of the nitrate and sulfate oxyanions respectively. The oxidation state or oxidation number of the nitrogen, NV and the sulfur, SVI, is the same in both the oxyacid and the oxyanion. Table 1.1 is a summary of some of the common oxyanions and their corresponding oxyacids.
THE GAS LAWS — IDEA OF PROPORTIONALITY
Boyle's Law
Pressure is defined as the force acting on a unit area, i.e. p = F/A. The unit of pressure is the newton per square metre, N m-2 or the Pascal, Pa. At sea level, the pressure due to the weight of the earth's atmosphere is approximately 105 Pa. The bar, is often used as the unit of pressure in problems in physical chemistry, where 1 bar = 105 N m-2 or 105 Pa.
Consider the effect of a piston pressing down on a fixed mass of gas of initial pressure pinitial and initial volume Vinitial, (Figure 1.3).
As the pressure applied by the piston is increased, the volume of the gas decreases (i.e. the space it occupies), if the temperature is kept constant. This is Boyle's Law – the volume of a definite mass of gas at constant temperature is inversely proportional to its pressure.
i.e.Boyle's Law: V [varies] 1/p or V = k/p, where k is a constant of proportionality.
Example: A sample of gas G used in an air conditioner has a volume of 350 dm3 and a pressure of 85 kPa at 25 °C. Determine the pressure of the gas at the same temperature when the volume is 500 dm3.
Solution:
The gas is at constant temperature, and therefore Boyle's Law can be applied:
Hence initially, V1 = k/p1 or k = p1 V1
Hence k = (85 kPa) x (350 dm3)
= 29750 kPa dm3
However finally, p2 = k/V2
= 29750/500
= 59.5 kPa
Answer: Final Pressure = 59.5 kPa
Charles's Law
In contrast, if the pressure is kept constant, the volume of a definite mass of gas will increase, if the temperature is raised. This is Charles's Law: the volume of a definite mass of gas at constant pressure is directly proportional to its temperature.
i.e. Charles's Law: V [varies] T
or V = kT, where k is a different constant of proportionality.
Example: A sample of gas G occupies 200 cm3 at 288 K and 0.87 bar. Determine the volume the gas will occupy at 303 K and at the same pressure.
Solution:
The gas is at constant pressure, and therefore Charles's Law can be applied:
Hence initially, V1 = kT1 or k = V1/T1
Hence k = (200 cm3)/(288 K)
= 0.694 cm3 K-1
Now V2 = kT2, so, V2 = (0.694 cm3 K-1) x (303 K)
= 210.42 cm3
Answer: Final Pressure = 210.42 cm3
Avogadro's Law
This states that equal volumes of gases, measured at the same temperature and pressure, contain equal numbers of molecules.
i.e.Avogadro's Law: V [varies] n, where n = the amount of gas (measured in moles).
The mole is defined as the amount of a substance which contains as many elementary species as there are atoms in 12 g of the carbon-12 isotope. A mole contains 6.02205 x 1023 particles, where NA is defined as Avogadro's constanti.e. NA = 6.02265 x 1023 mol-1.
Ideal Gases
An ideal gas is a theoretical concept, a gas which obeys the gas laws perfectly. If the three gas laws are combined, the resulting equation is the equation of state of an ideal gas:
(a) Boyle's Law: V [varies] 1/p
(b) Charles's Law: V [varies] T
(c) Avogadro's Law: V [varies] n (a), (b) and (c) [??] V [varies] (Tn)/p
[??] = pV [varies] nT
[??] = pV = knT,
where k is another constant of proportionality called the Universal Gas Constant, R.
[Ideal Gas Equation:] pV = nRT
where p = pressure of the gas (measured in bar); V = volume of the gas (measured in dm3); n = amount of gas (measured in mol); T = temperature of the gas (measured in K); R = Universal Gas Constant = 0.08314 dm3 bar K-1 mol-1 (or 8.314 J K-1 mol-1). The above equation can also be modified to take into account changes in temperature, ΔT, changes in volume, ΔV, and changes in the coefficients of gaseous reagents, Δvg, respectively, i.e. pV = nRΔT, pΔV = nRT and pV = Δvg,RT. vg represents the coefficients in a chemical equation. For example, in the reaction N2(g) + 3H2(g) [right arrow] 2NH3(g), Δvg = [summation][v(Gaseous products)] - [summation][v(Gaseous reactants)] = [(2)]-[(1) + (3)] = -2.
Molar Volume
1 mole of an ideal gas measured at 25 °C and 1 bar pressure occupies 24.8 dm3 (where 1 dm3 = 1000 cm3).
i.e. 1 mole of an ideal gas at 25 °C and 1 bar pressure occupies 24.8 dm3.
Example: Calculate the amount of gas in moles in 2000 cm3 at 25 °C and 1 bar pressure.
Solution:
At 25 °C and 1 bar pressure, 1 mole of an ideal gas occupies 24.8 dm3
i.e. 24.8 dm3 = 1 mol
1 dm3 = (1/24.8) mol
2000 cm3 = 2 dm3 = (2/24.8) mol = 0.081 mol
Answer: 0.081 mol.
KINETIC THEORY OF GASES
Kinetic energy is the energy a body possesses by virtue of its motion. The molecules of gases travel at high velocity and hence have high kinetic energy. The kinetic theory of gases is used to explain the observed properties of gases, of which Brownian motion provides good evidence. Brownian motion is the irregular zigzag movement of very small particles suspended in a liquid or gas. If tobacco smoke is placed in a small cell, well-illuminated on a microscope stage, the tiny particles appear to be moving at random, as shown in Figure 1.2(c). This is due to the smaller invisible molecules of the air, colliding with the particles of the smoke. This is Brownian motion.
The kinetic theory of gases is a model proposed to account for the observed properties of gases. In order that the model is applicable, certain assumptions are made. For this reason, gases are categorised into two types: (a) ideal gases (as defined previously) and (b) real gases (defined as non-ideal gases).
Assumptions of the Kinetic Theory for an Ideal Gas
1. Gases consist of tiny molecules, which are so small and so far apart that the actual size of the molecules is negligible in comparison to the large distance between them.
2. The molecules are totally independent of each other, i.e. there are no attractive or repulsive forces between the molecules.
3. The molecules are in constant random motion. They collide with each other and with the walls or sides of the container, which changes the direction of linear motion.
4. For each elastic collision, there is no net loss of kinetic energy. However, there may be transfer of energy between the particles in such a collision.
5. The average kinetic energy, of all the molecules is assumed to be proportional to the absolute temperature T (measured in K) i.e. kinetic energy [varies] T.
Validity of the Assumptions of the Kinetic Theory for an Ideal Gas
Assumption 1 This is largely true, since the compressibility of gases is very high. However, at high pressures, when a gas is highly compressed, it is not valid to state that the physical size of gas molecules is practically negligible compared with the distances between the molecules.
Assumption 2 This assumption is approximate, since gases diffuse or spread out to occupy all space available to them, i.e. there must be no appreciable binding force between the molecules. However, van der Waals forces exist (intermolecular forces of attraction and repulsion), and with polar molecules, other attractive forces exist.
Assumption 3 This assumption is valid, as shown by Brownian motion.
Assumptions 4 and 5 These assumptions are true, since in any elastic collision, kinetic energy is not lost.
Conclusion of the Kinetic Theory of Gases
The kinetic theory of gases is a good approximation, used to explain the behaviour of real gases. The theory has to be modified at very high pressures and in the presence of van der Waals forces, and for polar molecules where stronger intermolecular forces of attraction are involved.
THE GENERAL GAS EQUATION
Consider a gas at temperature T1, pressure p1 and volume V1, and another gas at temperature T2and pressure p2. The volume of the latter gas can be determined easily using the equation:
p1 V1/T1 = p2 V2/T2
A useful way of remembering this is 'peas and Vegetables go on the Table'! In fact, given any five of the above variables, the sixth can be evaluated using the equation. This will form the basis of the worked example at the end of this chapter.
Standard State
The standard state of a body is the most stable state of that body at 25 °C and 1 bar pressure (its symbol is °, e.g. E°, ΔH°, ΔS°, defined later in Chapters 2, 3 and 6 respectively).
Standard State — Most Stable State — S.S. — 25 °C and 1 bar pressure.
IMPORTANCE OF UNITS IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
In physical chemistry questions, the International system of units (SI) should be used. In any problem, one of the first steps is to convert all units to SI; note especially that temperature must always be given in kelvins, never degrees centigrade:
Remember: T (K) = T (°C) + 273
e.g. 25 °C is equal to 298 K since (25 + 273) K = 298 K. Table 1.2 lists (a) the basic SI units, (b) the derived SI units, and (c) some examples of non-SI units, which are commonly used in physical chemistry.
A GENERAL WORKING METHOD TO SOLVE NUMERICAL PROBLEMS IN PHYSICAL CHEMISTRY
1. Read the question carefully — do not be put off by the sheer length or intricacy of a question. If you do not see the wood for the trees immediately — don't worry — all will be revealed if you use a stepwise systematic approach! Just break down the question, step by step!
2. If a chemical equation is involved, identify all the species present, along with their states, i.e. (s), (1), (aq) or (g). This is particularly relevant in thermodynamics, equilibrium and electrochemistry questions.
3. Write down the balanced chemical equation if necessary, including the stoichiometry factors, vA, vB, VC and vD respectively: VA A + VB B [right arrow] VC C + vD D.
4. Identify all the data given in the question, including any constants which are involved, e.g. R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1, 1 F = 96 500 C mol-1 (defined later), 1 mole of a gas behaving ideally at 25 °C and 1 bar pressure occupies 24.8 dm3.
5. Convert all units to the one system, i.e. change °C to K, hours to seconds, etc. Watch out especially for (a) standard state conditions, e.g. E°, ΔH° ΔS° and ΔG°; parameters: 25 °C (298 K) and 1 bar pressure, and; (b) R= 0.08314 dm3 bar K-1 mol-1 (used when the pressure is expressed in bar) or more generally R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1. For example, suppose you were asked to calculate the volume occupied by 0.5 mol of N2(g) at 280 K and 0.93 bar, using the ideal gas equation, i.e. p V = nRT, and rearranging, V= nRT/p. Since p, the pressure of the gas, is given in bar, R= 0.08314 dm3 bar K-1 mol-1 must be used, not R = 8.314 J K-1 mol-1. Therefore, V = (0.5 mol) x (0.08314 dm3 bar K-1 mol-1 x (280 K)/0.93 bar = 12.52 dm3.
6. Identify the unknown in the question, i.e. what quantity is being looked for specifically? Do not be afraid to sketch a simple diagram if this identifies the problem for you!
7. Write down all relevant formulae. The question will most likely involve just one or, less likely, more than one, of these equations.

Consequently, you have to ensure that the e-mail address that you have deposited with us is the correct one, and that the receipt of the respective e-mails is guaranteed. In particular, you have to ensure that the respective e-mails are not blocked by a SPAM filter.
§ 3 Right of retention, reservation of proprietary rights
(1) You can only exercise a right of retention if the situation in question involves claims arising from the same contractual relationship.
(2) The goods remain our property until the purchase price is paid in full.
(3) If you are a businessman, the following conditions also apply:
a) We retain ownership of the goods until all the claims arising from the ongoing business relationship have been settled in full. The goods subject to retention of title may not be pledged or transferred by way of security before ownership of the said goods changes hands.
b) You can re-sell the goods within the framework of an orderly transaction. In this regard, you hereby cede all the claims amounting to the magnitude of the billing amount that accrue to you as a result of the re-selling operation to us, and we accept the cession. Furthermore, you are authorised to collect the claim in question. However, insofar as you do not discharge your payment obligations in an orderly fashion, we reserve the right to collect the claim ourselves.
c) In a situation involving the combination and amalgamation of the goods subject to retention of title, we acquire co-ownership of the newly-formed item. This co-ownership corresponds to the ratio that exists between the invoice value of the goods subject to retention of title and the other processed items at the time of processing.
d) If you make a request of this nature, we shall be obligated to release the securities that are due to us, to the extent that the realisable value of our securities exceeds the claim to be secured by more than 10%. We are responsible for selecting the securities to be released.
§ 4 Warranty
(1) The statutory warranty rights are applicable.
(2) As a consumer, you are requested to promptly check the product for completeness, visible defects and transport damage as soon as it is delivered, and promptly disclose your complaints to us and the shipping company in writing. Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
(4)
Insofar as you are an entrepreneur, the following shall apply in deviation from the above warranty provisions:
a) Only our own specifications and the manufacturer's product description shall be deemed agreed as the quality of the goods, but not other advertising, public promotions and statements by the manufacturer.
b) In the event of defects, we shall, at our discretion, provide warranty by rectification of the defect or subsequent delivery. If the rectification of defects fails, you may, at your option, demand a reduction in price or withdraw from the contract. The rectification of defects shall be deemed to have failed after a second unsuccessful attempt, unless the nature of the goods or the defect or other circumstances indicate otherwise. In the event of rectification of defects, we shall not be obliged to bear the increased costs arising from the transport of the goods to a place other than the place of performance, unless such transport is in accordance with the intended use of the goods.
c) The warranty period shall be one year from delivery of the goods. The shortening of the period shall not apply
- for culpable damage attributable to us arising from injury to life, limb or health and for other damage caused intentionally or by gross negligence;
- insofar as we have fraudulently concealed the defect or have assumed a guarantee for the quality of the item;
- in the case of items which have been used for a building in accordance with their customary use and have caused its defectiveness;
- in the case of statutory rights of recourse that you may assert against us in connection with rights arising from defects.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer’s usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us. The same condition applies to situations in which you are not associated with a general place of jurisdiction in Germany or the EU, as well as situations in which the place of residence or the usual place of residence is not known at the time of commencement of proceedings. This has no bearing on the capacity to call upon the court associated with another place of jurisdiction.
(3) The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods are explicitly inapplicable.

6.2 If you are a consumer, the following is statutorily regulated: The risk of the sold item accidentally being destroyed or degraded during shipping only passes over to you when the item in question is delivered, regardless of whether or not the shipping operation is insured. This condition does not apply if you have independently commissioned a transport company that has not been specified by us or a person who has otherwise been appointed to execute the shipping operation.
If you are a businessman, the delivery and shipping operations take place at your own risk.

Data protection declaration
Unless stated otherwise below, the provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually obligatory, nor required for conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your data. Not providing it will have no consequences. This only applies as long as the processing procedures below do not state otherwise.
“Personal data” is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.
Responsible person
Contact us at any time. The contact details of the person responsible for data processing can be found in our legal notice.
Collection, processing, and transfer of personal data in orders
When you submit an order we only collect and use your personal data insofar as this is necessary for the fulfilment and handling of your order as well as processing of your queries. The provision of data is necessary for conclusion of a contract. Failure to provide it will prevent the conclusion of any contract. The processing will occur on the basis of Article 6(1) b) GDPR and is required for the fulfilment of a contract with you.
Your data is transferred here for example to the shipping companies and dropshipping providers, payment service providers, service providers for handling the order and IT service providers that you have selected. We will comply strictly with legal requirements in every case. The scope of data transmission is restricted to a minimum.
Duration of storage
After contractual processing has been completed, the data is initially stored for the duration of the warranty period, then in accordance with the retention periods prescribed by law, especially tax and commercial law, and then deleted after the period has elapsed, unless you have agreed to further processing and use.
Rights of the affected person
If the legal requirements are fulfilled, you have the following rights according to art. 15 to 20 GDPR: Right to information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability. You also have a right of objection against processing based on art. 6 (1) GDPR, and to processing for the purposes of direct marketing, according to art. 21 (1) GDPR.
Right to complain to the regulatory authority
You have the right to complain to the regulatory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.
Right to object
If the data processing outlined here is based on our legitimate interests in accordance with Article 6(1)f) GDPR, you have the right for reasons arising from your particular situation to object at any time to the processing of your data with future effect.
If the objection is successful, we will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests or rights and freedoms, or the processing is intended for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
