Q

what are first and second electron affinity? are they endo or exo?

give oxygen as an example

A

first electron affinity is ability for an atom to gain an electron - exothermic

second electron affinity ability for a 1- atom to gain another electron - endthermic

both in gaseous forms

first: O(g) + e⁻ → O⁻(g)
second: O⁻(g) + e⁻ → O⁻²(g)

Q

trends in lattice enthalpy:

what happens to LE as you move down a group? why?

A

down group = LESS exothermic

  • ionic radius increases
  • attraction between ions weakens
  • less energy released when bonds form

Q

what happens to enthalpy of hydration as you go down a group? why?

A

going down a group - it becomes LESS EXOTHERMIC

  • down the group ionic radius increases
  • reduces electrostatic attraction to water molecules
  • less energy released during hydration

Q

in a reaction equation, how can you tell if entropy has increased or decreased overall?

A

more moles of gas on product side = increase

more moles of gas on reactants side = decrease

22
Q

how do you calculate ΔS of a reaction?

A

ΣS of product - ΣS of reactants

23
Q

what does it mean when:
ΔS is +ve?
ΔS is -ve?

A

+ve: more disordered

-ve: less disordered/ordered

24
Q

what is meant by a reaction being ‘feasible’ ?

A

if a reaction is feasible, it can occur

25
what is the symbol for free energy?
G
26
give the free energy change/Gibbs equation
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS | temp in K
27
for which values of ΔG is a reaction feasible? for which values of G is a reaction NOT feasible?
feasible - ΔG < 0 NOT feasible - ΔG > 0
28
even if ΔG < 0, what can prevent a reaction from occurring?
if activation energy is too high so rate is too slow so the reaction won't take place
29
what are the colour changes for the following half equations: 1. Cr2O72- -->Cr3+ 2. KMnO4 --> Mn2+
1. orange to green | 2. purple to pale pink/colourless
30
in what order do you assign oxidation states of the following: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen and fluorine
``` fluorine hydrogen oxygen carbon FHOC ```
31
what are the four steps of balancing half equations?
1. find the before and after oxidation state of the target element 2. balance the oxidation states by adding electrons to one side 3. balance the charges by adding H+'s to the same side with the electrons. REMEMBER EACH ELECTRON COUNTS AS ONE -VE CHARGE 4. if needed, balance hydrogens by adding water molecules to one side of the equation
32
what are the four steps of combining half equations?
1. write out 2 half equations 2. multiply the equations up so that the number of electrons in each equation is the same 3. add/subtract the 2 equations so that the electrons cancel out 4. collect like terms and if needed cancel out any repeated species on each side
33
what is electrode potential? what is the symbol? what is it measured in?
measure of how easy it is for reduction to take place symbol under standard condition: E^⦵ measured in volts (V)
34
what does a more positive electrode potential value tell you about a metal?
more positive E = easier to reduce
35
more reactive metals are _____ likely to ___ electrons so they have a more ______ electrode potential value
more, lose, negative | LOW ELECTRODE POTENTIAL = MORE REACTIVE METAL
36
what is the value of standard electrode potential
0 V
37
what type of half cell is used to calculate the standard electrode potential? what is the half equation of this half cell?
H2/H+ half cell | H2 ---> 2e- + 2H+
38
what standard conditions must be used in the standard electrode potential half cell?
298 K/25ºC 1 atm/100kPa 1.0 moldm-3/1.0 M
39
what type of electrode and wire must be used in the standard electrode potential half cell? why?
platinum electrode and wire - not reactive so won't react - provides good contact between H2 and H+
40
define standard electrode potential
voltage produced when a half cell is connected to to a standard hydrogen half-cell
41
describe the set up for the standard electrode potential
- a beaker with H+ ion solution of 1.0M - bell jar in the beaker with H2 gas coming in at the top at 1 atm - platinum wire in bell jar connected to a platinum electrode which is submerged in the solution
42
how do you work out the overall voltage output of a half cell?
find the difference between the electrode potentials of the two half cells
43
what are the two limitations of electrochemical cells?
- standard conditions in a lab are not often used | - rate of reaction is too slow so reaction will take too long due to high activation energy
44
what happens to E value if you: - increase conc on LHS of equation? - decrease conc on LHS of equation?
- equilibrium shifts to the right, where more reduction takes place, so E INCREASES - equilibrium shifts left, where less reduction takes place, so E DECREASES
45
what happens to E value if you: - increase conc on RHS of equation? - decrease conc on RHS of equation?
- equilibrium shifts left, less reduction is taking place, E DECREASES - equilibrium shifts right, more reduction is taking place, E INCREASES
46
to make something a stronger oxidising agent, what must happen to the E value?
E value must increase, more reduction is happening so the oxidising agent is stronger
47
if E values of two metals are very close together, what can happen under non-standard conditions?
one value can increase and one value can decrease enough that the lower one becomes the higher one so the reverse reaction happens
48
how do you find the overall equation given the two half equations and E values for each metal?
- the half equation with the higher E value proceeds with the forward reaction - the other half equation proceeds with the reverse reaction - balance out the electrons - add/subtract to cancel electrons
49
define storage cell
- an electrochemical cell that can be recharged - a redox reaction takes place in it - when the reaction is finished, it can b reversed using electricity and then the cell can be used again
50
what can a fuel cell be fuelled by? weigh up all the 3 options
hydrogen, methane or methanol - hydrogen is dangerous because it is explosive - methane and methanol produce CO2 but are safer than hydrogen
