Q

Properties of water

A

− Consists of small molecules with weak dispersion forces
− Strong polarity and extensive capacity of hydrogen bonding dictate its physical properties
− HIGH MELTING POINT (compared to other molecules of similar size); due to extensive hydrogen bonding with neighbouring molecules

− DENSITY IN THE SOLID PHASE IS LESS THAN IN LIQUID PHASE which is why ice floats; undergoes expansion
− Ice floating on water acts as an insulator
− Occurs because each water molecule forms four hydrogen bonds with four neighbouring water molecules

− HIGH SURFACE TENSION (liquids tendency to resist any increase in its surface area); results from strong intermolecular forces
− At water surface there is an imbalance of these forces causing molecules to be pulled in towards the bulk material
− Surface is trying to contract and achieve a minimum area

− Doubling concentration, doubles the reaction rate

45
Q

Gas Pressure and reaction rate

A

− Raising pressure (by reducing volume or adding more gas to the same container) creates greater concentration, causing an increase in rate of collision between reacting particles
− Doubling pressure, doubles the reaction rate

46
Q

Temperature and reaction rate

A

− Raising temperature means particles have a greater kinetic energy; higher percentages of collisions have energy equal to or greater than the activation energy.
− Greater percentage of collisions are successful

47
Q

State of subdivision and reaction rate

A

− Heterogeneous reactions involve reactants that are in two separate phases (solid/solid, solid/liquid, liquid/gas etc)
− Particles can only collide at the surface boundary where separate phases make contact
− Increasing SA exposes greater amount of reaction particles to the possibility of collision
− Increases rate of collisions between particles, hence increase in rate of collision

48
Q

68
Q

Hydrogen Bonding

A

− Only occur in molecules having an H – F, H – O or H – N arrangement of atoms

Mass Spectrometry

A

Step 1: Ionisation
− Atom or molecule is ionised by knocking one or more electrons off to give a positive ion (even for elements that would usually form negative ions or never form ions
Step 2: Acceleration
− Ions are accelerated so they have the same kinetic energy
Step 3: Deflection
− Ions are deflected by a magnetic field according to their masses (lighter they are the more they are deflected). Also depends on the number of positively charged ions (more the ion is charger the more it is deflected)
Step 4: Detection
− Beam of ions passing through the machine is detected electrically
