General Chemistry 1 Review Study Guide - IB, AP, & College Chem Final Exam

Overview of General Chemistry ConceptsKey topics from first semester general chemistry for college and high school (IB/AP) students.

• Stoichiometry: Grams, moles, molecules conversion; percent yield; empirical formulas; limiting reactants.

• Chemical Reactions: Balancing equations; oxidation numbers.

• Gas Laws: Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT); vapor pressure; partial pressure; Graham's Law of Diffusion.

• Solutions: Molarity and molality; dilution (M1V1=M2V2).

• Thermodynamics: Enthalpy of reactions; Hess's Law.

• Intermolecular Forces: Types (hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole, London dispersion) and their effects on boiling/melting points.

• Electron Configuration and Quantum Numbers: Electron distribution and properties of atomic orbitals.

• Miscellaneous: Phase changes (melting, sublimation, condensation); colligative properties.
