Chemistry Conditions/Reactions Flashcards
Addition of Water to Alkene
Phosphoric or sulfuric acid (conc) 330C 6MPa
Addition of Hydrogen to Alkene
140C Nickel Catalyst
Elimination of Haloalkane
Haloalkane + NaOH(eth) = Alkene + Salt + Water
NaOH(ethanolic)
Elimination Dehydration of Alcohol
Alcohol = Water + Alkene Hot Aluminium Oxide or Sulfuric Acid
Haber Process Condition
450C 350 Atm (similar to the temperature of the addition of water to alkene) Iron Catalyst
Nucleophilic addition of CN- to Aldehyde/Ketones
NaCN and dilute sulfuric acid to produced HCN HCN is the catalyst
Contact Process
450C Vanadium Pentoxide
Increase in IE across Period 3
Increase in proton number AND similar shielding from the electrons underneath. There is a increased nuclear attraction of outer electrons.
Why do giant covalent molecules not conduct
Because there are no mobile electrons to carry charges and they are fixed in covalent bonds
Why a major product forms
Primary carbocations are LESS STABLE that teritiary or secondary carboncations and there produced more frequently. This is because of the POSITIVE INDUCTIVE EFFECT of ALKYL GROUPS and the tertiary or secondary carbocations have more alkyl groups.
Standard enthalpy change of combustion
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a SUBSTANCE is burnt in excess oxygen under stp
Standard enthalpy change of formation
Enthalpy change when 1 mole of a compound is formed from it elements under stp
Why giant covalent has higher BP than simple covalent with respect to SiO2 and SO3
SiO2 has a network of strong bonds. SO3 has weak VDW forces from induced dipoles. Higher energy is required to break bonds between SiO2 than to overcome the VDW forces of SO3 between molecules
Amphoteric
A substance that reacts wtih an acid or base
Acidic Hydrolysis of Nitrile to Carboxylic Acid
Dilute acid Reflux
eg propanenitrile + HCl + Water = Propanoic acid + ammonium chloride
Shape of PCl5
Trigonal bipyramidal 120 and 90 degrees dsp3 hybridisation
Weak Alkali versus Strong Alkali
Weak Alkali (like Mg(OH)2) do not fully disociate in water. Strong Alkali (like Na(OH)2 fully disociate in water and thus there are more OH- ions and hence are more alkali.
Magnesium and Steam and speed of reaction compared to with water
Magnesium + steam= Magnesium oxide + hydrogen gas. Reacts vigorously as opposed to Mg + water which is slow
Hess’ Law
The total enthalpy change chemical reation is independent of the route by which the chemical reaction takes place as long as the initial and final conditions are the same.
Nucleophile
A donator of a pair of electrons
Electrophile
An acceptor of a pairs of electrons
Substitution of Alcohol with PCl5
Alcohol + PCl5 = POCl3 + Halogenoalkane + Hydrogen Halide
Substitution of Alcohol with PCl3
Alcohol + PCl3 = Halogenoalkane + H3PO4
Substitution of Alcohol with SOCl3
Alcohol + SOCl3 = Halogenoalkane + SO2 + HCl (SO2 and HCl are gases)
Lattice Structure
A uniform repeating arrangement
Acid Base Reaction with Halide Salt and H2SO4
NaCl + H2SO4 = NaHSO4 + HCl
Difference between Neutralisation Reaction and Acid Base
Neutralisation happens when 1 mol of water forms from a hydroxide ion and a hydrogen ion. Acid base reaction is when one molecule gives a hydrogen ion to another.
How bonding is affected by electronegativity
It depends on the DIFFERENCE IN ELECTRONEGATIVITY of the atoms involved in the bond. If the difference is larger there is the transfer of electrons to form an ionic bond. If the difference is small there is the sharing of pairs of electrons.
With relation to electronegativity why does NaCl have different bonding that SiCl4
There is a difference in electronegativity between the Na Cl and the Si and Cl. Because the difference in electronegativity of the Na and the Cl is so large, there is the transfer of electrons forming an ionic bond. Because the difference of the Si and Cl is smaller, there is the sharing of pairs of electrons forming a covalent bond.
Relative atomic mass
The average mass of an atom relative to 1/12 of the mass of a C-12 atom
Relative molecular mass
It is the ratio of the sum of all the relative atomic masses of the atoms in a molecule to 1/12 the mass of a C-12 atom
Aluminium Oxide with HCl
Al203 + 6HCl = 2AlCl3 + 3H20 It does not form Al2Cl6
Aluminium Chloride behaves like a normal aluminium salt when it is aqueous
Explain why a disproportionation ocurrs
X atom has both lost and gained electrons
Conditions for Nucleophilic Substitution of Halogenoalkanes to make an amine
Ethanolic ammonia. Refluxed. Heated in a sealed tube.
Conditions for Nucleophilic Substitution of Halogenoalkanes to make a nitrile
Ethanolic CN- and refluxed. Heated in a sealed tube
Oxidation of primary alcohols to form aldehydes
DILUTE Acidified Potassium dichromate or acidified potassium manganate. WARMED NOT REFLUXED. DISTILLED
The equation and conditions for the formation of NO in the atmosphere
N2 + O2 = 2NO Extreme conditions required because a high activation energy is required because the triple covalent bond requires a lot of energy to break
Formation of NO2 in the atmosphere
Further oxidation 2NO + O2 = 2NO2 Brown gas
Formation of nitric acid from moist air and during a lightning storm
2NO2 + 1/2O2 + H2O = 2HNO3
Formation of ammonium salts to make fertilizers
NH3 (aq) + HNO3 (aq) = NH4NO3 (aq)
NH3 (aq) + H3PO4 (aq) = (NH4)3PO4 (aq)
Ammonium Salt reacting with a hydroxide
Ammonium salt + metal hydroxide = Metal salt + water + ammonia.
NH4Cl (s) + Ca(OH)2 (s) = CaCl2 (aq)+ H2O (l) + NH3 (g)
Used to test for the presence of an ammonium salt. Add sodium hydroxide and heat and NH3 is released turning red litmus blue.
How to make nitric acid ammonia then fertilizers
N2 + O2 = 2NO
2NO + O2 =2NO2
2NO2 + H2O + 1/2 O2 = 2HNO3
N2 + 3H2 = 2NH3
NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3
