5) Calculates state variables for a gas or gas mixture (pressure, volume, temperature, and number of moles) using ideal gas equation.
6) Using the results of kinetic-molecular theory of gases calculates average kinetic energies, average speeds, and effusion rates of gas molecules and also lists the conditions under which gas deviates from ideal behavior.
7) Knows the relationships among various forms of energy in physical changes and in chemical reactions and calculates the energies associated with chemical reactions.
8) Writes the Lewis structure of a molecule and based on this structure, determines the shape of this molecule, whether it is polar or nonpolar, the type of hybridization on the central atom, and the types of bonds in the molecule.
9) Classifies intermolecular forces of attraction and determines the type of intermolecular forces in the liquid and solid states of a given substance.
10) Defines each property of liquids related to intermolecular forces (surface tension, viscosity, molar enthalpy of vaporization, vapor pressure, and boiling point) and discusses how each of these properties by various factors.
11) Calculates the concentration of a solution in terms of various concentration definitions, defines solubility and knows how various factors affect solubility.
12) Calculates the colligative properties (vapor pressure lowering, osmotic pressure, boiling point elevation, and freezing point depression) of a solution of known concentration.
