The standard enthalpy of formation for any element in its standard state is defined as zero.

Standard temperature and pressure (STP) for gases is defined as 0°C (273.15 K) and 1 atm (101.3 kPa).

The minimum energy required for a reaction to occur is known as the activation energy.

Atomic size increases down a group due to the addition of electron shells.

Electronegativity increases across a period due to increasing nuclear charge, which attracts electrons more strongly.

Electronegativity decreases down a group due to increased atomic size and shielding effect.

First ionization energy decreases down a group due to increased distance from the nucleus and increased electron shielding.

Faraday's constant is expressed in coulombs per mole (C/mol).

For a first-order reaction, the unit of the rate constant k is s^-1.

For a second-order reaction, the rate law is Rate = k[A]^2, and the units of k must be 1/(M·s) to ensure that the rate has units of M/s.

The ideal gas constant R is 0.0821 L·atm/(K·mol), which is commonly used in the ideal gas law.

The van 't Hoff equation relates the change in the equilibrium constant with temperature.

The van der Waals equation accounts for the volume occupied by gas molecules and the attractive forces between them, thus describing real gas behavior.

Using de Broglie's equation, λ = h/p; p = mv = (9.11 x 10^-31 kg)(1 x 10^6 m/s). λ = 6.626 x 10^-34 / (9.11 x 10^-31)(1 x 10^6) = 6.63 x 10^-28 m.

NaCl is formed by the transfer of an electron from Na to Cl, resulting in an ionic bond.

In methane, the carbon atom undergoes sp3 hybridization, forming four equivalent sp3 hybrid orbitals that arrange tetrahedrally.

Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force present in water, significantly raising its boiling point compared to similar molecules.

Van der Waals forces are primarily responsible for the adhesion of paint to a wall, providing weak but significant interactions.

Increasing pressure shifts the equilibrium towards the side with fewer moles of gas. Here, the right side has 2 moles (NH3) compared to 4 moles (N2 + 3H2), so the equilibrium shifts to the right.

Cathodic protection prevents corrosion by making the metal surface the cathode in an electrochemical cell.

A galvanic cell operates based on spontaneous redox reactions that generate electrical energy from chemical energy.

Electroplating involves the reduction of metal cations from a solution to deposit a layer of metal onto a surface.

Voltammetry is often used in glucose sensors, where the current is measured as a function of applied voltage to determine glucose concentration.

Helium has the highest first ionization energy due to its small size and high effective nuclear charge.

Helium has the smallest atomic radius due to its high effective nuclear charge and minimal electron shielding.

In an isothermal process for an ideal gas, the temperature remains constant, thus the change in internal energy (ΔU) is zero.

For an ideal gas, the change in internal energy (ΔU) is given by ΔU = nC_vΔT, where C_v is the molar heat capacity at constant volume.

At constant pressure, the change in enthalpy (ΔH) is equal to the heat added to the system (q_p).

The color of the solution does not affect the conductivity of an electrolyte solution.

The color of reactants does not influence the rate of a chemical reaction, while concentration, temperature, and catalysts do.
