A
  • Strong acids and strong alkalis isonise completely in dilute aqueous solutions
  • Weak-strong alkali acid
    * weak acid and alkalis dissociate partially in dilute aqueous solution
    * dissociation, which involves bond breaking, is an endothermic process
    * during neutralisation, some of the energy released from the neutralisation is absorbed to bring about further dissociation of the weak acid and alkali
    * less exothermic, ΔHₙₑᵤₜ° is less negative
  • Weak acid-weak alkali
    * even less exothermic, ΔHₙₑᵤₜ° is less negative as even more energy is released from the neutralisation is absorbed to bring about complete ionisation of both the weak acid and alkali

60
Q

How does the dissolution of ionic compound occur?

A
  • electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in the solid lattice is overcome to form gaseous ions ⇒ breaking of ionic bonds (energy required is equal to |LE|)

(note that it’s summation)

62
Q

What kind of ΔHₛₒₗₙ° value will the compound dissolve in water?

A

When ΔHₛₒₗₙ° of an ionic compound is either negative or slightly positive

63
Q

Will ionic compound be soluble in water if the solution process is exothermic, ΔHₛₒₗₙ° < 0?

A
  • The ionic compound will be soluble
  • If the solution process is exothermic, it means that the hydration of ions releases more than sufficient energy to break the ionic bonds in the lattice
64
Q

Will ionic compound be soluble in water if the solution process is slightly endothermic, ΔHₛₒₗₙ° slightly > 0?

A
  • compound will be soluble in water
  • Although energy released from hydration of the ions is insufficient to break the ionic bonds in the lattice, the compound dissolves as it will result in an increase in entropy of the system
65
Q

Will ionic compound be soluble in water if the solution process is highly endothermic, ΔHₛₒₗₙ°&raquo_space;> 0?

A
  • compound will be insoluble because energy released from the hydration of ions is insufficient to break the ionic bonds in the lattice
  • any increase in entropy of the system is not sufficient to favour its solubility
66
Q

What is the relationship between ΔHₛₒₗₙ° and solubility of the substance in general?

A

The more negative ΔHₛₒₗₙ° is, the more soluble the substance

67
Q

What is Hess’ Law?

A

Hess’ law states that the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction depends only on the initial and final states of the system and is independent of the path taken

68
Q

What is the general formula for ΔHᵣ° using Hess’ Law?

m and n refer to stoichiometric coefficients of the reactants and products respectively in the balanced equation

70
Q

Why is the experimental values of AgCl, AgBr and AgI more negative than the theoretical values?

A
  • It suggests that the bonding in silver halides is stronger than what the ionic model predicts
  • because the bonding is not purely ionic but has substantial degree of covalent character, which is unaccounted for by the ionic model
71
Q

72
Q

What does second law of thermodynamics say?

A

Entropy of the system always increases in a spontaneous process and remains unchanged in an equilibrium process

73
Q

What is entropy, S?

A
  • entropy is the measure of disorder in a system
    * the more disordered the system, the higher the entropy
  • entropy is the measure of how probable is the state of the system
    * the higher the probability of a state occurring, the higher the entropy
74
Q

Why does a disordered state have a higher probability of occurring?

A

there are more ways of arranging the particles and their energy in a disorder state than a more ordered one

75
Q

What is state function?

A

Independent on path taken

76
Q

Are enthalpy change, ΔH and entropy change, ΔS state or path functions?

A
  • Both state function
  • Both ΔH and ΔS depends only on the initial and final states of the system and independent of the path taken
77
Q

In what processes do entropy increase?

A
  1. Increase in temperature of the substance
  2. Change in phase from solid to liquid to gas
  3. Reaction leads to increase in number of particles
  4. Mixing of particles
  5. Gas expansion (increase in volume)
78
Q

How does the change in temperature affect entropy?

A
  • When temperature increases, average kinetic energy of the molecule increases
  • there are more quanta of energy available to distribute within the system
  • there are more ways to distribute the larger number of quanta at higher temperature
  • increase in temperature leads to increase in entropy
78
Q

How does the change in phase affect entropy?

A
  • change in phase: there is a gradual increase in entropy as temperature increases
  • When temperature increases, average kinetic energy of the molecule increases
  • there are more quanta of energy available to distribute within the system
  • there are more ways to distribute the larger number of quanta at higher temperature
  • increase in temperature leads to increase in entropy

(basically temperature explanation)

79
Q

What does the graph of entropy against temperature look for phase changes?

A
  • gradual increase in entropy within a phase
  • sharp increase with a phase change
79
Q

What is the order of entropy for different phases in increasing order?

A
  • entropy of solid < entropy of liquid < entropy of gas
  • Melting: there is an increase in entropy when solid becomes a liquid, volume change is negligible but there is an increase in disorder as the orderly arrangement of particles in the solid is destroyed, there are more ways to arrange the particles and distribute the energy in its liquid state than solid state
  • Boiling: there is an even larger increase in entropy when a liquid becomes a gas, gaseous state is the most disordered: particles move randomly in all directions, leading to a large increase in disorder, furthermore, the large increase in volume going from liquid to gas also leads to an increase in entropy
79
Q

How does the change in number of particles affect entropy?

A
  • gas is the most disordered state as they move randomly in all directions
  • the formation of greater number of gas particles, entropy of system increases
80
Q

When will gas expand?

A

If the gas is under pressure, it spontaneously expands when the pressure is released

80
Q

How does gas expansion affect entropy?

A

Upon gas expansion, there are more ways for gas particles to arrange themselves in a larger volume, leading to an increase in entropy

81
Q

How does the mixing of gas affect entropy?

A
  • Gases always mix completely to create a more disordered state
  • each gas expands to occupy the whole container and there are now more ways for the particles to arrange themselves in the larger volume, thus entropy increases
82
Q

What is the effect on entropy when liquids are mixed together?

A
  • liquids of similar polarities mix together towards increased disorder to form a solution in which the particles are uniformly and randomly mixed
  • if polarities of liquids are very different, need consider intermolecular forces of attraction
83
Q

What does the spontaneity of reaction depend on?

A
  • enthalpy change
  • entropy change
84
Q

A

reaction/process is spontaneous

89
Q

What does ΔG° > 0 mean?

A

reaction/process is not spontaneous

90
Q

What does ΔG° = 0 mean?

A

neither the forward nor the reverse reaction/process is favoured; the reaction is at equilibrium

91
Q

What might a reaction not proceed even if ΔG° < 0?

A
  • reaction may be too slow to be observable
  • thermodynamics tells us only about the spontaneity of the reaction (whether it can occur) but does not tell us how long it will take to occur (may be high Ea to prevent reaction taking at a reasonable rate)
92
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS for melting and boiling?

A
  • ΔH > 0: endothermic as intermolecular forces of attractions are overcome
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy as disorder increases from solid to liquid to gas
93
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS for decomposition reactions?

A
  • ΔH > 0: most decomposition reactions are endothermic as the bonds in the reactants are stronger than the products
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy because there is an increase in the amount of gaseous molecules
94
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS when mixing liquids of similar polarities (eg. hexane and heptane)?

A
  • ΔH ≈ 0: type of imf between molecules in the solutions and in pure liquids is the same
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy due to mixing of particles
95
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS when mixing liquids of different polarities (eg. hexane and water)?

A
  • ΔH > 0: endothermic because energy is needed to mix the molecules since in separate liquids, they were held together by different types of imf
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy due to mixing of particles
96
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS when dissolving ionic solids in water?

A
  • ΔH > 0 or ΔH < 0: endothermic or exothermic as ΔHₛₒₗₙ° = -LE + ∑ΔH(ₕyd)°
  • ΔS > 0: when ionic solids dissolve in water, entropy increases because the ordered ionic lattice is broken up and the ions are then free to move in the solution
97
Q

Why is there different solubilities of ionic compounds in water?

A
  • for solvent particles, entropy decreases because the water molecules that were originally free to move become restricted as they order themselves around the ions during hydration
  • the complex interplay between enthalpy and entropy (solute and solvent considerations) cause there to be differing solubilities
98
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS during condensation or freezing?

A
  • ΔH < 0: exothermic as the intermolecular forces of attraction are formed between the molecules of product
  • ΔS < 0: decrease in entropy from a more disordered gaseous/liquid state to more ordered solid state
99
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS for the decomposition of ozone and dinitrogen monoxide?

A
  • ΔH < 0: exothermic as bonds in the products are stronger than reactants
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy as there is an increase in the number of gaseous molecules
100
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS for organic combustion reactions?

A
  • ΔH < 0: Combustion of organic fuels at standard conditions is always exothermic
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy because there is an increase in the number of gaseous molecules produced
101
Q

What is the ΔH and ΔS for explosions?

A
  • ΔH < 0: exothermic as more energy is released in the formation of bonds in products than the energy absorbed in breaking of bonds in reactants
  • ΔS > 0: increase in entropy because there is an increase in the number of gaseous molecules
102
Q

How does an explosion occur?

A

At high temperatures, reaction rapidly gives off large quantities of gas, resulting in a large increase in entropy, leading to an explosion

Q

What is ΔG for melting and what are the implications?

A
  • ΔG = 0, ΔH = TΔS
  • ΔS(fus) = ΔH(fus) / T(fus)
113
Q

What is ΔG for boiling and what are the implications?

A
  • ΔG = 0, ΔH = TΔS
  • ΔS(vap) = ΔH(vap) / T(vap)
114
Q

When is ΔH used instead of ΔG?

A
  • when ΔH is much larger in magnitude than -TΔS
  • when both terms act in same direction
115
Q

What are the reactions that occur at room temperature driven by?

A

Enthalpy driven

116
Q

What are the reactions that only occur at high temperatures driven by?

A

entropy driven

117
Q

What is sublimation?

A

solid to gas

118
Q

What is vapourisation?

A

liquid to gas

119
Q

What is fusion?

A

solid to liquid

120
Q

How does mixing of solids affect entropy?

A

mixing of particles in solids (eg. presence of other metal atoms in alloy) also results in an increase in entropy
