Q

Why, on a temperature time graph, does the temperature main constant at certain points?

A

All; the heat energy being supplied is used to partially overcome the forces of attraction between particles so that they can move around each other

Q

What is a Mass Spectrometer used for?

A

To find out the RAM of Elements

The positive ions are deflected in a magnetic field depending on their mass to charge ratio (m/z or m/e). Ions with a higher mass to charge ratio are deflected less in the magnetic field than ions with a lower mass to charge ratio. Finally, the positive ions reach the detector, where they produce a mass spectrum.

A

28
Q

Atomic orbital

A

An atomic orbital represents a region of space where there is a high probability of finding an electron

29
Q

Do all Three 2P orbitals have the same energy?

A

Yeah

30
Q

Is the 2S Orbitat bigger than the 1S Orbital?

A

Yes and its the same shape (spherical)

31
Q

How Volatile Are Ionic Substances?

A

Low Volatility (refers to how readily a substance evaporates)

THIS IS BECAUSE THE ELECTROSTATIC FORCES OF ATTRACTION BETWEEN THE IONS ARE STRONG

32
Q

How Soluble are Ionic Compounds in Water?

A

Often Soluble in Water

Water is a polar solvent, and energy is released when the ions are hydrated by being surrounded by water molecules

This energy pays back the energy required to break apart the ionic lattice

33
Q

How Soluble are Ionic Compounds in Non-Polar Solvents?

A

Not usually Soluble (hexane)

A great Deal of Energy is required to break apart the ionic lattice

This is not paid back by the energy released when the non-polar solvent forms interactions with the ions

34
Q

Electronegativity

A

measure of the attraction of an atom in a molecule

for the electron pair

in the covalent bond of which it is a part

35
Q

What is a Coordinate Covalent Bond?

A

A Coordinate Covalent bond is a type of covalent bond in which both electrons come from the same atom.

36
Q

Would a triple bond be longer or shorter than a Double Bond?

A

Shorter but stronger

37
Q

If Atoms have similar electronegativities what will they form?

A

Covalent Bonding

38

41
Q

What is collision theory?

A

The number of collisions between particles per unit time in a system

42
Q

How does Pressure affect ROR?

A

An increase in pressure in reactions that involve gases has the same effect as an increased concentration of solutions

When the pressure is increased, the molecules have less space in which they can move

This means that the number of effective collisions increases due to an increased collision frequency

An increase in pressure therefore increases the rate of reaction

43
Q

How does Conc affect ROR

A

The more concentrated a solution is,

the greater the number of particles in a given volume of solvent

An increase in concentration causes in an increased collision frequency

therefore an increased rate of reaction

44
Q

How does Temp affect ROR?

A

increasing the temperature of the reaction mixture increases the rate of reaction in the following two ways:

At higher temperatures, the particles are moving faster, so collide more frequently. A higher number of collisions in total mean a higher number of successful collisions

At higher temperatures, a higher proportion of the molecules have the activation energy or more. This means that a higher proportion of collisions are successful

45
Q

How does SA affect ROR?

A

Only the particles on the surface of a solid will collide with particles of the other reactant

If the surface area is increased, more particles will be on the surface and able to collide with particles of the other reactant

This means that there will be more collisions in total and therefore more successful collisions.

Surface area can be increased by decreasing the size of the reactant particles

For example, powders have a very large surface area

46
Q

Q

Annotare the Maxwell Boltman curve demonstrating an increase in Temperature?

A

ANNOTATION:

48
Q

Annotate and explain the change in the Maxwell Boltman curve demonstrating when a catalyst is used?

A

Catalyst provides the reactants another pathway which has a lower activation energy

By lowering E , a greater proportion of molecules in the reaction mixture have sufficient energy for a successful collision

As a result of this, the rate of the catalysed reaction is increased compared to the uncatalyzed reaction

49
Q

Catalysts can be divided into two types:

A

Homogeneous catalysts

Heterogeneous catalysts

52
Q

Are Energy levels for an e- further or farther apart?

A

farther apart near the nucleus

53
Q

What does the Polarity of a molecule depend on it?

A

Molecules are non polar if..

  1. ) The molecule shape around the central atom has no lone pairs, or if it does it’s either square planer or square linear
  2. ) All atoms around the central atom are the same

For something to be polar, they to disobey both criterias

54
Q

Distinguish between a continuous spectrum and a line spectrum.

A

A continuous spectrum has all colours/wavelengths/frequencies whereas
a line spectrum has only (lines of) sharp/discrete/specific colours wavelengths/frequencies;

55
Q

How to tell which Molecules have IMF?

A

Non Polar - LDF
Polar - Dipole Dipole

Q

Explain why the bonds in SiCl4 are polar but his molecule is not?

A
