ΔG, is the balance between enthalpy, entropy and temp

29
Q

30
Q

A

ΔG < 0

31
Q

  • the negative value of ΔH is usually still able to make ΔG negative even if entropy is positive
32
Q

Which type of reactions are likely not to be spontaneous?

A

33
Q

Will all reactions with negative ΔG spontaneously react?

A

  • it also depends on the size of the activation energy and the rate of reaction
34
Q

What does a positive ΔG mean?

A
  • the reaction is not feasible too be spontaneous but can be made feasible by changing the temp of the reaction
35
Q

What are redox titrations used for?

A
  • to determine the amount of a species which is oxidised or reduced in a reaction
  • the reducing or oxidising agent that you know the conc of is put in the burette and titrated against a chemical which is being oxidised or reduced
36

purple

37

colourless (very pale pink)

38
Q

A

H+ ions (usually from H2SO4)

39
Q

What is MnO4- usually used to oxidise?

A

Fe2+ ions to Fe3+ ions

40
Q

Describe what happens in a redox titration
(specificto manganate VII and iron II)

A
  • acidified manganate (VII) is added to the iron (II) until all the Fe2+ is oxidised
  • a very faint pink colour will then appear because of unreacted manganate
41
Q

What can iodine be titrated against?

A
  • thiosulphate ions
  • forms iodide ions and tetrathionate ions
42
Q

Explain the colour change in a titration involving thiosulphate ions and iodine

A
  • starch is used to more easily identify the endpoint as the natural colour change can be hard to see if there are other compounds present
  • when there is iodine still present, it is blue-black
  • when all the iodine has reacted the blue-black will disappear and the solution should be colourless but it may appear white or cream if there’s other compounds present
43
Q

Describe the method used to find the concentration of a solution of an oxidising agent that will oxidise iodide ions to iodine

A
  1. react iodide ions with the oxidising agent to form iodine
  2. titrate the iodine against a known conc of sodium thiosulphate
  3. calculate the moles of iodine that must have reacted with the sodium thiosulphate
  4. calculate the conc of the oxidising agent
44
Q

A

redox reactions

45
Q

Describe a half cell

  • when you look at the redox reactions that are part of a cell each half equation involved is called a half cell
  • half cells can be combined to make a cell
  • a half cell contains an element in 2 different oxidation states
46
Q

What are the 2 methods for making a half cell?

A
  1. putting a metal or non-metal in contact with their ions that are in aqueous solution
  2. having ions of the same element in different oxidation states within an aqueous solution
47

  • an equilibrium is present between the hydrogen gas and H+ ions
49
Q

Explain when a platinum electrode is used in a hydrogen half cell

A
  • used if you want to connect the half cell to another half cell
  • platinum is used as it’s inert and will only transfer electrons to and from the solution
  • the surface of the electrode is coated with ‘platinum-black’ to help electrons to be transferred between the non-metal and its ions
50
Q

Describe an Fe2+/Fe3+ half cell

A
  • solution containing 2+ and 3+ ions
  • they must be of equal concentrations (EQUIMOLAR)
  • an equilibrium is present between the ions
51
Q

What does the electrode potential of a half cell tell us?

A

its tendency to lose or gain electrons in the equilibrium

52
Q

Define standard electrode potential

A
  • the e.m.f. of a half cell compared with a
    standard hydrogen half cell. This is measured under standard conditions (1 mol dm-3 solution
    concentrations, 298K and 1 atm)
53
Q

How do you work out the standard electrode potential of a half cell?

A
  • you must connect it to a hydrogen half cell
  • one half cell will then release electrons while the other will gain them
  • the difference in the electrode potential of the 2 half cells is measured using a voltmeter
54
Q

Why is the standard hydrogen electrode significant?

A
  • it is used as a reference point for all other half cells to be measured against
  • it has an emf of 0V
55
Q

Describe the method of joining 2 half cells to measure standard electrode potentials

A
  • wire connects 2 half cells and allows electrons to be transferred between them
  • salt bridge allows ions to be transferred between half cells
  • both of these are needed to complete the circuit otherwise the current wouldn’t flow
56
Q

What is a salt bridge?

A
  • filter paper soaked in an aqueous solution of an ionic compound that doesn’t react with either half cell solution
  • eg. KNO3 or NH4NO3
57
Q

What do negative and positive values for electrode potential indicate?

A
  • negative means the backward reaction occurs in comparison to the hydrogen electrode and it has a greater tendency to oxidation
  • positive means reduction occurs in comparison to the hydrogen electrode and it has a greater tendency to reduction
58
Q

Which electrode potential will be the forward reaction?

A

the more positive one

59
Q

What does a larger electrode potential cell value inidcate?

A

the further the half equations move from equilibrium

60
Q

State some limitations to predicting feasibility of reactions

A
  • electrode potentials are for standard conditions only with solutions being 1mol/dm3
  • if concs were changed, the position of equilibrium would change due to le chateliers principle so electrons would be removed/added and electrode potential would change
61
Q

How can you make an electrochemical cell with a large voltage?

A
  • you need 2 half cells with different standard electrode potentials
  • the larger the difference the larger the emf of the cell
62

63
Q

Describe rechargeable cells

A
  • nickel-cadmium battery in rechargeable batteries
  • lithium ion/polymer batteries in laptops

66
Q

A
  • cell reaction uses an external supply of a fuel and oxidant
  • the cell will continue to provide electrical energy as long as fuel and oxidant don’t run out
  • fuel is usually based on hydrogen or hydrogen-rich fuels eg. methanol
67
Q
