A

Q = mCΔT
Where q is the heat energy in Joules,
m is the mass of water heated,
C is the specific heat capacity,
Delta T is the change in temperature in either degrees C or K

20

ΔH=Q/1000/n
ΔH is in kJmol-1

21
Q

A

Kc = [C]^c[D]^d/[A]^a [B]^b

You need to derive units for Kc from expression,
[ ] means concentration of

22
Q

Equation for mean bond enthalpy

A

ΔH = Σ(bonds broken) – Σ(bonds formed)

23
Q

What does a negative enthalpy mean? What does a more negative enthalpy show?

A

Enthalpy is exothermic which means heat is released into surroundings, more negative enthalpy means the compound has formed a strong bond/become more stable than what its compared to.

24
Q

What does a positive enthalpy mean? What does a more positive enthalpy show?

A

Enthalpy is endothermic which means heat is released into surroundings, more positive enthalpy means the compound has become less stable than what its compared to this means endothermic takes in energy.

25
Q

Equation and units for the calculation of entropy

A

ΔS = Σ(Sproducts) – Σ(Sreactants)

Entropy is in JK-1mol-1

26
Q

What’s the overall Gibb’s Free energy equation? What are the units?

A

ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
Gibbs free energy is usually in kJmol-1,
Enthalpy is in kJmol-1,
T should be in Kelvin (+273 from degrees C)
Entropy is usually in JK-1mol-1 so needs to be divided by 1000

27
Q

How to determine entropy of a reaction from a Graph?

A

use y=mx+c and ΔG = ΔH – TΔS

Plot ΔG on the Y axis
Plot T on the x axis,
ΔH will be the y intercept (C)
– ΔS will be the gradient of the line (m)

28
Q

What assumptions do you make for Gibbs’ free energy if the reaction is feasible or just feasible?
Why is this useful?
What happens to the equations with this assumption?

A

ΔG = 0
It can allow you to find the temperature that reactions will be feasible at,
∆H – T∆S = 0
T = ∆H / ∆S

29
Q

What’s the general equation for the rate of a reaction?

A

Rate = change in concentration / time

30
Q

What’s the general equation for determining a rate constant? What do the symbols mean?

A

For the reaction X + Y –> Z
Rate = k [X]a[Y]b
Where k is the rate constant, [X] is conc. of X, and [Y] is conc. of Y

31
Q

What’s the equation form you need if you want to find out the rate constant or the arrhenius constant?
What do the symbols mean?

A

k = Ae^(-Ea/RT)
Where k is rate constant; A is Arrhenius constant; e is the exponential factor (you’ll find on your calculator), Ea is the activation energy in Jmol-1, R is the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature in K.

32
Q

What’s the equation form you need if you want to find out the activation energy or the temperature constant?
What do the symbols mean?

A

lnk = lnA-Ea/RT
Where k is rate constant; A is Arrhenius constant; ln is the natural log (you’ll find on your calculator with the symbol ln), Ea is the activation energy in Jmol-1, R is the ideal gas constant and T is the temperature in K.

33
Q

How do you calculate a mole fraction?

A

Mole fraction of gas
= gas moles in mixture / total moles of all gases in mixture
