Q

Magnesium sulphate is an ionic compounds

with reference to its bonding explain whether you would expect magnesium sulphate to have a high or low melting point

A

Magnesium sulphate is an ionic compound so will have a giant ionic lattice structure where the ions are held together by a very strong electrostatic forces these bonds require a lot of energy to break some magnesium sulphate will have a very high melting point

Q

One of these compounds of oxygen and flooring has a relative molecular mass of 70 and contains 54.3% by mass of fluorine calculate the empirical formula and the molecular formula of this compound

A

Empirical formula : start with % , 54.3% is F so 45.7 is O2
Divide each % by the relative mass of each you should get 2.85 for F

and 2.85 for O
ratio of 1 to 1
so empirical formula is just FO

Molecular formula: as for molecular formula it would be F202 as the molecular mass of that molecule is 70

Q

ethanedioic acid is a weak acid ethanedioic acid acts initially as a monoprotic acid

use the concept of electronegativity to justify why the acid strengths of ethanedioic and ethanoic acid are different

A

Both acids contain A carboxylic acid group however in ethanoic acid R=CH3 and ethanedioic acid and carboxylic acid

The oxygen atom in the carboxylic acid group of ethanedioic acid are highly electronegative so draw electrons towards them from the neighbouring carboxylic acid
causes the hydroxyl group to become more polarised
this makes bond fission more likely
so hydrogen ions More likely to dissociate.
in ethanoic acid the CH3 group is not electron drawing so has no effect on hydroxide polarity ethanedioic is therefore a stronger acid than ethanoic acid

Q

A buffer solution is made by adding 6.00 × 10–2 mol of sodium hydroxide to a
solution containing 1.00 × 10–1 mol of ethanedioic acid (H
Assume that the sodium hydroxide reacts as shown in the following equation and that in this buffer solution, the ethanedioic acid behaves as a monoprotic acid.

H2C2O4(aq) + OH–(aq)—->HC2O4–(aq)+H2O(l)
The dissociation constant Ka for ethanedioic acid is 5.89 × 10–2 mol dm–3.
Calculate a value for the pH of the buffer solution.
Give your answer to the appropriate number of significant figures.

A

Moles of NaOH = Moles of HOOCCOO– formed = 6.00 × 10–2

Moles of HOOCCOOH remaining = 1.00 × 10–1 – 6.00 × 10–2 = 4.00 × 10–2
Ka =[H+][A–]/[HA]
[H+]=Ka ×[HA]/[A–]
[H+]=5.89×10–2 ×(4.00×10–2 /V)/(6.00×10–2 /V)=3.927×10–2
pH = –log10(3.927 ×10–2) = 1.406= 1.41

Stage 1: difference in structure of the two acids • The acids are of the form RCOOH
• but in ethanoic acid R = CH
• whilst in ethanedioic acid R = COOH
Stage 2: the inductive effect
• The unionised COOH group contains two very electronegative oxygen
atoms
• therefore has a negative inductive (electron withdrawing)effect
• The CH 3
group has a positive inductive (electron pushing) effect
