Analytical Chemistry & Spectroscopy

Raman Spectroscopy

A vibrational technique based on the small shift in frequency of light scattered inelastically by molecules.

Δν̃ = ν̃_incident − ν̃_scattered cm⁻¹ Solutions & Colligative Properties

Raoult's Law

The partial vapour pressure of each component of an ideal solution equals its mole fraction times its pure vapour pressure.

p_A = x_A p°_A Pa States of Matter & Gas Laws

Real Gas

An actual gas whose behaviour deviates from the ideal gas law because its molecules occupy volume and attract one another.

Rearrangement Reaction

A reaction in which the atoms of a molecule are reorganised to give a structural isomer.

Resonance

The description of a molecule whose true structure is a weighted average of two or more valid Lewis structures.

Relationship between Kp and Kc

The conversion linking the pressure and concentration forms of the equilibrium constant for a gaseous reaction.

Kp = Kc(RT)^Δn Dimensionless Solutions & Colligative Properties

Relative Lowering of Vapour Pressure

The fractional reduction in a solvent's vapour pressure caused by dissolving a non-volatile solute.
