A

Dispersion forces
Dipole-dipole dorces
hydrogen bondign
Covalent bonding

44
Q

Describe the structure of water

A

Has two hydrogen covalently bond to one oxygen

Two lone pairs and repulsion of lone pair and bonding pair creates a bend.

45
Q

Why is water described as polar?

A

The ends of the molecules has a different charge of electronegativity ( one slightly neg and pos )

creating polar covalent bond, also has bent meaning uneven charge distributed overall.

46
Q

A

An exothermic because energy has to be removed since gas has higher kinetic energy than liquid.

condensation

47
Q

Are covalent bonds or hydrogen bonds are broken when liquid water evaporates into steam?

A

Yes the intermolecular hydrogen bonds are broken

but the covalent bonds between the atoms in the molecule are still intact.

48
Q

Is density of water at 5c higher or lower than density of water at 25c?

A

It is higher since it is closer to the highest amount of density water can reach - which is 4.

49
Q

Explain why ice floats?

A

When water freezes = density decreases since it loses energy and becomes hexagonal crystallined lattice

occupies more volume than random arrangement of molecules in liquid form.

50
Q

A

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule.

Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules.

55
Q

What is latent heat?

A

NO CHANGE IN TEMP IF A GRAPH

Energy needed to change state (melting or boiling temp)

56
Q

Why is it called latent or hidden heat?

A

When water changes states,
its temp remains constant = no change occurs in kinetic energy of h20 molecules

the energy goes to or comes from (endo exdo ) potential energy stored in the hydrogen bonds between the molecules.

57
Q

Latent heat of water summary

A

Energy is needed to break the bonds between the water molecules. This causes the temp to remain constant even though the water is being heating.

58
Q

Example of Latent heat on water

A

Ice melting = energy supplied to break bonds between molecules and the temp

.. only begins to rise again once the change of state is complete.

59
Q

Latent heat symbol

A

L

60
Q

Common units for latent heat

A

kJ mol ^ neg 1.

J kg ^ neg 1

61
Q

62
Q

process of Latent heating of fusion

A

Solid to liquid phrase at 0c, the latent heat of fusion required to break the hydrogen bonds between the ice molecules in the crystal lattice.

6.02 kJ energy must be supplied to change each mole of water from solid to liquid.

63
Q

Number of kJ is Latent heating of fusion?

A

6.02kJ mol ^ neg 1

64
Q

What is Latent heating of vaporisation (L down v )?

A

Energy needed to change a fixed mass from the liquid to the gaseous (state) at 100c.

65
Q

process of Latent heating of vaporisation

A

Change in liquid to gas at 100c, energy required (Latent heating of vaporisation) breaks remaining forces holding the water molecules together, allowing the molecules to move around freely as gas.

66
Q

What energy is greater Latent heating of fusion or vaporisation?

A

vaporisation IS GREATER because molecules must be completely separated from each other when changing liquid –> gas and not just slightly moved apart when moving from crystal lattice in ice to liquid water.

67
Q

EXAMPLE OF USING HEAT FROM BODY IRL

A

Sweating uses heat from the body to evaporate the moisture.

68
Q

Number of kJ is Latent vaporisation of fusion?

A

40.7 kJ mol ^ neg 1

thus 40.7 kJ energy must be supplied to vaporise one mole of water

69
Q

What is relatively high latent heat of vaporisation of water very useful for?

A

Keeping organisms cool through perspiration. Person sweats, change from liquid water to water vapour needs alot of heat energy.

This energy is absorbed from our body, making perspiration an efficient mechanism for removing unwanted heat from the body.

Plus humid air helps too but slow process.

70
Q

The higher the latent heat of a substance…

A

greater the amount of energy needs when it changes states.

71
Q

Water is an exception due to its size for amount of latent heat required cause

A

It has higher due to strong intermolecular forces within its solid and liquid state.

water evaporates slowly than other liquids.

72
Q

Heat required to change state equation

A

q = n x L

q= heat energy required or released kJ
n= no. of mole of substance
L= latent heat
73
Q

What is specific heat capacity?

A

Energy measure in joules, needed to raise the temperature of 1g of a pure substance by 1 c.

74
Q

What is specific heat capacity measure of?

A

How easy or difficult it is to change the temp of a substance.

75
Q

What does it mean by water has a high specific heat capacity?

give real life example

A

Temp is difficult to alter. That’s why the beach is popular hot days, as water can absorb heat from its warmer surroundings so that the air temp by the seashore is lowered.

76
Q

Equation for energy specific heat capacity ( energy required to raise the temp of a particular mass of a substance )

A

q = mc delta T

q= energy required in joules
m= mass in grams
c= specific heat capacity of the substance
delta t= temp change

77
Q

Why does water have a high specific heat capacity?

A

Due to large amount of hydrogen bonding between water molecules. Thus water is a good insulator of heat.

Water can absorb large amounts of heat energy with only a minimal increase in temperature.

78
Q

Water’s specific heat capacity?

A

4.18 J g ^ neg 1 celcius ^ neg 1

79
Q

What is the name of the energy that change liquid to gas and vice versa without any change in temperature?

A

Latent heat of vapourisation

80
Q

Heat energy is continually supplied to keep water boiling at 100c. Why does temp stay constant?

A

The heat energy is used to break the intermolecular hydrogen bonds between the water molecules while the temp remains constant.

81
Q

Explain what it means when we say water has a specific heat capacity of 4.18J g^neg 1 cel^1

A

The energy, measured in joules needed to raise the temp of 1 g of water by 1 c is 4.18 J.

82
Q

On a hot day the sand feels warm but the sea is cold.

Why is that?

A

Water has higher specific heat capacity than sand so it requires more heat energy to raise its temp. This means the temp of the sand increases at a faster rate than that of the water.

83
Q

What is responsible for the expansion of water in the solid state?

A

The ordered arrangement of water molecules into a crystalline lattice structure.

This is because water expands upon freezing.

84
Q

Why can marine life survive in winter?

A

Density of ice is less than liquid water, thus ice floats on water due to its lower density, providing an insulating layer that prevents the water below from freezing.

Ice floats on top, trapping oxygen below, if ice was denser than water, it would freeze bottom up.

85
Q

How water create relatively stable environment for ocean organisms.

A

Water absorb high amount of heat from the atmosphere with a minimal increase in temp assists in maintaining a relatively stable environment for ocean organisms.

The solid with the lower mass..

A

92
Q

Cells contain mainly water. If lettuce leaves are placed in the freezer and then defrosted, they come soft and soggy.

Explain why.

A

When lettuce leaf is frozen the water in its cell expands and breaks the cell walls.

Cell loses its shape, leaving the lettuce limp when defrosted.

93
Q

Why does boiling point of group 16 hydrides decrease and then increase?

A

Water has highest BP AND MP temp cause of hydrogen bonding.

Other group hydrides depend on dispersion forces, which are weak, but increase as size of molecule increases.

94
Q

Why is it more dangerous to receive a burn by steam at 100c than one by water 100c.

A

Steam has all the molecules spread out more, while water has high SHC so it takes..

95
Q

Why is water different from most liquids

  • mention density in solid and liquid states
A
  • Substances becomes denser as temp decreases until a solid is formed
  • Water has lower density in the solid form as more ordered regular arrangement of molecules in the solid form compared to liquid form.
  • ordered arrangement takes up less space so density is less.
96
Q

How does water have usual physical property

A
  • Relatively high SHC
  • Capable of absorbing large amount of heat before its temp rises significantly

Used as coolant in car keep engine from overheating

97
Q

Why does tumble dryers use so much electricity to dry clothes?

A
  • Large amount of energy to evaporate water

- Water’s high latent heat of vaporisation

98
Q

What happens to density of water as temp decreases.

A

Density of water increases as temp decreases, until max density 4c cause water molecules start to form hexagon crystalline lattice in ice, held together by hydrogen bonding, instead of closer arrangement found in water.

density has decreased.

100
