25
Thermodynamics
the science of the relationship between heat and other form of energy
26
Factors that affect reaction rate | Explain
~Concentration of reactants > effective collisions occur per unit time ~Temperature > speed up the movement of substance, increase chance of collisions ~ Presence of catalyst > A substance that can speed up the reaction, but chemically unchanged at the end of the reaction ~ Surface area > Increase chances of particles contact ~ Pressure (Gaseous reaction) – Increase the amount of particles in the same volume
27
In kinetic term, Ea is ?
the minimum amount of energy which colliding particles need in order to react with each other
28
ΔH
The difference between energy level of the reactants and products = the amount of energy taken in or given out during reaction
29
From the top of the curve to the products, going down the energy scale > ?
> Energy is given out as bonds are formed in products | Energy put in is less than energy given out > exothermic reaction
30
If the curve is going up the scale, energy is ________ | At the top of the curve, bonds in the reactants are ______________
- energy is put in to break bond in the reactants. | - the bonds in the reactants have been broken.
31
ΔG
Free energy change
32
Activation Energy (Ea)
Minimum amount of energy required for the reaction to start | The amount of energy put in to breaks these bonds
33
Endothermic – | Exothermic –
Endothermic – energy taken in for reaction | Exothermic – reaction release energy
34
_______ energy need to break strong bond; _______ energy need to break weak bond
More energy need to break strong bond; less energy need to break weak bond
35
Energy is stored in________
intramolecular bond (covalent/ ionic/ metallic)
36
Bonds can be __________ during chemical reactions | Energy is _________to break bond
- rearranged | - required
37
Why need energy?
- Mechanical work e.g. muscle contraction - Generate light & electricity - Active transport, neurotransmitter - Synthesis complex biomolecules using simple precursors
38
Kinetic
a movement of waves, electrons, atoms, molecules, substances, and objects
39
Potential (Stored)
E.g. Chemical energy is the energy stored in the bonds of atoms & molecules
40
What don’t appear in a heterogenous equilibrium constants
~ Solid concentration can’t change because it’s molecular weight and density are constant ~ Pure liquid concentration doesn’t vary, they don’t appear in the equilibrium expressions
41
heterogenous equilibrium constants formula
Kc = [C][D] / [A][B]2
42
Equilibrium constant formula in a homogenous system
Kc = [C]^c[D]^d / [A]^a[B]^b Kc = equilibrium of concentration [ ] = concentration in mol/dm3 a = Number of substance Right hand side of equation on top / left hand at the bottom
43
What gives the equilibrium constant?
Measure concentration of everything when a reaction reaches the equilibrium
44
Equilibrium constant allows us to ________
to make qualitative judgment about the reaction, if the mixture is mostly products or mostly reactants
45
Le Chatelier’s Principle for changes in pressure
- Changes in Volume of Gaseous Equilibrium Systems - Gas volume is related to gas pressure - a gas at reduced volume has a higher pressure (more chance of collisions) - A gas at increased volume has a lower pressure
46
How to set up the dynamic equilibrium
the rates of the forward reaction and the back reaction have to become equal. This doesn't happen instantly. For a very slow reaction, it could take years! A catalyst speeds up the rate at which a reaction reaches dynamic equilibrium.
47
Le Chatelier’s Principle
If a dynamic equilibrium is disturbed by changing the conditions, the position of equilibrium moves to counteract the change Eg. changing concentration, pressure (for gaseous reactions) or temperature, or adding more molecules.
48
Heterogenous equilibria
Products/reactants in more than one phase
49
Homogenous equilibria
everything in the equilibrium mixture is present in the same phase
50
Dynamic equilibrium
the forward/ reverse reaction is continuing and the rate of both reactions are equal
51
Chemical equilibrium
Reaction can go forward or reversed, occurring at the same rate without net change in energy
52
The tendency for a reaction to reach a equilibrium is driven by
the Gibbs free energy (ΔG )
53
K(eq)
equilibrium constant K(eq)= [C][D] / [A][B]
54
Formula of relationship between GIBBS free energy change and equilibrium constant
ΔG ^0 = -RT. In.K(eq)
55
Redox reaction
transfer of e - Reduction - gain e- Oxidation - lose e-
56
Chemical that oxidised is the ______ agent | Chemical that reduced is the _______ agent
oxidised, reducing agent | rreduced, oxidising agent
57
redox potential
A measure of the tendency for a species to gain or lose electrons
58
Redox potentials are measured in
volts (E°)
59
negative value of (E°) tend to ______ | Positive value of (E°) tend to ______
negative value of (E°) tend to oxidise | Positive value of (E°) tend to reduce
60
Oxidation number
losing e- , increasing in oxidation number | gaining e- , decreasing in oxidation number
61
How to calculate the bond energy
1. Balance equation 2. Draw the structure 3. Count the bonds and add up bond energy on both side 4. Calculate ΔH = energy of bond broken - energy of bond formed (kJ/mole)
62
Bond energy (bond dissociation energy)
energy required to break bond a measure of chemical bond strength Alternative way to find out enthalpy change
63
Breaking bond _______ energy | Forming bond ________ energy
Breaking bond need energy | Forming bond release energy
64
Rules of thermochemical equation
1. enthalpy is directly proportional to mass 2. ΔH for a reaction is equal in magnitude but opposite in sign to ΔH for the reverse reaction 3. It is independent of the number of chemical steps involved (Hee's Law)
65
Rules for redox reaction
1. Half the equation 2. understand the e- transfer directions 3. Balance the charges 4. Put 2 side back together
