- complete or incomplete
ENERGY
- capacity to do work or cause change measured in joules
- heat, chemical, electrical, light, kinetic, potential
- forms are interchangeable
- total amount of energy is constant
ENTHALPY
- total energy present in a substance
- included energy stored in bonds (chemical PE)
- energy due to particle motion (KE)
- particle KR rises with temperature
- chemical PE of a bond is high for weak/low for strong
- bonds are broken, new ones formed
- heat flows from hot regions to cool
ENERGY CHANGES IN CHEMICAL REACTIONS
- heating/cooling in system and surrounding due to chemical changes
- result of change in enthalpy in products compared to reactants
ENDOTHERMIC
- gain heat to surroundings
- postive value
- enthalpy increases during reaction
- produce freezing temperatures (feel cold)
- e.g. sport cool packs
EXOTHERMIC
- lose heat to surroundings
- negative value
- enthalpy decreases during reaction
- chemical PE in bonds is converted to particle KE
- heating effect (feel warm)
- sport heat packs
ENERGY EFFECTS OF BREAKING BONDS
- endothermic
- requires an input of energy
- stronger bonds, more energy to be absorbed
ENERGY EFFECTS OF MAKING BONDS
- exothermic
- releases energy
- stronger bonds, more energy is released when forming them
PHYSICAL CHANGES (IN ENERGY)
- phase changes are physical
- only needing to break/make weak bonds
- involve small amounts of energy
CHEMICAL CHANGES (IN ENERGY)
- involve breaking/making bonds
- involve larger amounts of energy
REACTION SPEED INCREASE WITH
- temperature
- concentration
- pressure
- state of subdivision
- catalyst
COLLISION THEORY GENERALISATION
- chemical changes in terms of collisions between reacting particles
- sufficient energy and suitable orientation react can form transition state
COLLISION THEORY (3 POINTS)
- individual particles of reacting substance must COLLIDE
- collision energy must be equal/greater than ACTIVATION ENERGY
- reacting particles must collide with suitable ORIENTATION
TRANSITION STATE
- where original bond break and new ones form
POTENTIAL ENERGY PROFILE
- particles approach each other
- repulsive forces between electron clouds slow them down
- lost KE reappears as increased PE
- activation energy higher when bonds of reactants are stronger
ACTIVITATION ENERGY
- minimum collision energy required to form transition state
COLLISION ENERGY AND TEMPERATURE
- temperature is a measured of average KE
CONCENTRATION AND REACTION RATE
- raising concentration increases reaction rate
- higher concentration of reacting particles cause and increase rate of collisions
- doubling concentration, doubles reaction rate
GAS PRESSURE AND REACTION RATE
- raise gas pressure (reduce vol/adding gas) creates greater concentration
- increase in rate of collision between particles
- double pressure, double reaction rate
TEMPERATURE AND REACTION RATE
- raising temperature means particles have greater KE
- higher percentage of collisions have energy equal/greater than AE
- greater % of collisions are successful
STATE OF SUB DIVISION AND REACTION RATE
- heterogeneous reactions involve reactants in two separate phases (solid/solid, solid/liquid, liquid/gas)
- can only collide at the surface boundary where phases make contact
- increase SA exposes greater amount of reacting particles to a possible collision
- increase rate of collisions
CATALYSTS AND REACTION RAT
- substance that has the ability to speed up chemical reactions whilst remaining chemically unchanged at the end
- transition metals Mn, Pt, Pd, Au, Rh
- increase rate of reaction as provide alternative pathway with a lower AE
- greater % of collisions will have equal/greater than AE
- greater % being successful
ENZYMES
- biological catalysts
- very specific in reactions they catalyse
- fast acting
ELECTRONEGATIVITY
- tendency of an atom to attract electrons
- the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract electrons to itself
- measured on a scale of 0-4
- higher electronegative = greater electron attraction
ELECTRONEGATIVITY AND COVALENT BOND DIPOLES
- 2 atoms of different EN forming of CB result in uneven sharing of electrons
- electrons spend more time closer to more EN element
- more electronegative element develops small negative charge (delta minus)
- less electronegative element develops a small positive charge (delta positive)
- bond dipole
POLAR MOLECULES
- those with slight positive and slight negative charged ends
- have net dipole
- occurs in all molecules with a single bond dipole
NON POLAR MOLECULES
- those where the bond dipoles are of equal size and act in symmetrically opposing directions where the dipoles cancel each other out
- zero net dipole
INTRAMOLECULAR FORCES
- bonds that keep atoms clustered together within the molecule
- strong
INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
- bonds that keep molecules bonded to one another
DIPOLE DIPOLE - INTERMOLECULAR
- polar molecules able to attract one another due to weak electrostatic attraction between their dipoles
- dipole dipole occurs between completely opposite charged ends of polar molecules
- increase melting/boiling points
- like dissolve in like
DISPERSION FORCES - INTERMOLECULAR
- all molecules
- only intermolecular force present in non polar
- weak for molecules with few electrons
- show increasing strength for greater number in electrons
- stronger in molecules whose shape allows max surface contact between molecules e.g. linear
HYDROGEN BONDING - INTERMOLECULAR FORCES
- only occur in molecules with H-F, H-O, H-N
- due to electrostatic attraction between lone pair and F, O, N, H covalently bonded to another F, O, N
- melting and boiling points higher
- are extremely soluble in other substances that can HB
SOLUTION
- is a mixture where the particles of a solute are homogeneously spread amongst the particles of the solvent, major component of the mixture by mass
- solubility of a solution is given as the mass that can dissolve in 100g of water
