Q

What is a catalyst?

A

A catalyst is something which increases the rate of reaction, by providing an alternative pathway for the reaction with a lower activation energy, without being used up

Q

Does breaking bonds release or take in energy?

A

Takes in energy

17
Q

Does making bonds release or take in energy?

A

Releases energy

18
Q

What happens as bond length decreases?

A

The bond becomes stronger

19
Q

Why might calculated bond energy value differ from the figure provided?

A

-Bond energies are average values from several compounds=not always precise
-Bond energies assume all molecules are in a gaseous state

20
Q

If the energy needed to break the bonds is greater than the energy released when the new bonds are made is the reaction endo or exothermic?

A

Endothermic

21
Q

If the energy needed to break the bonds is less than the energy released when new bonds are made the reaction is the reaction endo or exothermic?

A

Exothermic

22
Q

Describe how to calcuale the enthalpy change of solution?

A
  1. Place known volume of water into a polystyrene beaker
    2.Add known mass of the other compund to the water and stir
    3.Measure temperature of water before and after
23
Q

Can atoms rotate freely around a single or double bond?

A

Single bond, in a double bond there is restricted rotation

24
Q

What are stereoisomers?

A

Molecules with the same structural formula but the atoms have a different spacial arrangment

25
Q

What are the two types of stereoisomers?

A

E and Z

26
Q

What is Z isomerism?

A

When the two highest-priority substituents are on the same side of the double bond axis

27
Q

What is E isomerism?

A

When the two highest-priority substituents are on opposite sides of the double bond axis

28
Q

What is cis-trans isomerism?

A

Alkenes with exactly two substituents on the double bond - with one on each carbon

29
Q

What is cis isomerism?

A

When the substituents are on the same side of the carbon double bond

30
Q

What is trans isomerism?

A

When the substituents are on different sides of the carbon double bond

31
Q

What direction do the arrows point for enthalpy changes and what is the equation?

A
  • Combustion=inwards
  • H1=H2-H3
  • Formation=outwards
  • H1=H3-H2

Formation=natural state of elements

32
Q

What is the standard enthalpy change of combustion?

A

The enthalpy change that occurs when mole of a substance is burnt completely in oxygen under standard conditons

33
Q

What does aromatic,aliphatic and arene mean?

A
  • Aromatic=contains a benzene ring
  • Aliphatic=does not contain a benze ring
  • Arene=hydrocarbon containing a benzene ring
