Q

Hess’s Law

A

The enthalpy change for a reaction can be worked out by calculating the enthalpy change of the formation of the reactants and products from their raw states and adding/subtracting them

Q

What does a catalyst do?

A

Speeds up the rate of a reaction by decreasing the activation enthalpy allowing more reactants to react

21
Q

What does the double bond in an alkene do to the alkene?

A

It causes the boiling point to increase

22
Q

What does a double bond consist of?

A

A sigma and a pi bond

23
Q

Describe the process for an electrophilic addition reaction?

A

The double bond in the alkene causes there to be a slight negative charge
A bromine bond is attracted to the negative charge so the bromine becomes polarised.
The carbon double bond breaks and bonds with the bromine and the bromine bond breaks filling the outer shell of the other bromine.
The other carbon on the alkene forms a cation and the other bromine is attracted to it and bonds with it.
So an alkane is produced with two bromine atoms attatched.

24
Q

Describe the process for a catalyst reaction

A
  1. The reactants ADSORB to the surface of the catalyst
  2. Then all the bonds in the molecule breaks
  3. The bonds react and reform into the new molecule
  4. The product then deadsorbs from the surface of the catalyst.
25
Q

What is 1dm^3 in cm^3

A

1dm^3 = 1000cm^3

26
Q

What is the ideal gas equation?

A

PV = nRT

Pressure x Volume (M^3) = Moles x Gas constant x temperature

27
Q

What is chain isomerism?

A

This is when the carbons in the carbon chain rearrange and change shape

28
Q

What is positional isomerism?

A

When atoms substituted into the carbon chain are rearranged

29
Q

What is functional group isomerism?

A

Where a functional group moves

30
Q

What is an isomer?

A

Same molecular formula - different arrangement of atoms

31
Q

What is a sterio isomer?

A

When the molecules have the same structural formula but different arrangement of atoms in space.

32
Q

How is carbon monoxide converted in a catalytic converter?

A

2CO + O2 ==> 2CO2

33
Q

How are unburnt hydrocarbons converted?

A

C7H16 + 11O2 ==> 7CO2 + 8H2O

34
Q

How is nitrogen monoxide converted in a catalytic converter?

A

2NO + CO ==> N2 + 2CO2

35
Q

How are particles removed from a car engine?

A

With a particulates filter

36
Q

What is the word equation for incomplete combustion?

A

Hydrocarbon + Oxygen ==> Carbon Monoxide + water

37
Q

What is the word equation for complete combustion?

A

Hydrocarbon + Oxygen ==> Carbondioxide + Water

38
Q

44
Q

How is weak acid rain made with sulfur dioxide?

A

SO2 + H2O ==> H2SO3

45
Q

How is strong acid rain made with sulfur dioxide?

A

SO3 + H2O ==> H2SO4

46
Q

How is acid rain made with Nitrogen oxides?

A

2NO + H2O + 1.5O2 ==> 2HNO3

2NO2 + H2O + 0.5O2 ==> 2HNO3

47
Q

What are the benefits of biofuels?

A

Few Particles
No Sulfur emmisions
No net change in CO2 emmisions (Carbon neutral)

48
Q

What are the benefits of hydrogen fuel?

A

Less dense than petrol
