A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen doesn't react until it is ignited by a spark - then it explodes. The mixture also explodes if you add some powdered platinum The energy of a spark is tiny, yet it is enough to ignite any quantity of a hydrogen/oxygen mixture, large or small. Suggest an explanation for this.
The reaction has a high activation enthalpy that prevents it occuring at a significant rate at room temperature. However, the reaction is exothermic and once the spark has provided the energy needed to get it started, the reaction produces enough energy to sustain itself regardless of how much is present.

55
The reaction of chlorine atoms with ozone in the upper atmosphere (stratosphere) is thought to be responsible for the destruction of the ozone layer: Cl + O3 --\> ClO + O2 The chlorine atoms are produced by the action of high energy solar radiation on CFCs. The activation enthalpy for the reaction of chlorine atoms with ozone is relatively small. Explain what effect you would expect a change of temperature to have on the rate of this reaction
As the activation enthalpy is small, an increase in temperature will mean that many more collisions will have the minimum energy to react and so the rate of reaction increases rapidly

Pentane is a straight-chain and its molecules can approach each other closely so there are strong intermolecular forces Methylbutane and dimethylpropane have respectively more branching and cannot approach as closely, so the instantaneous dipole - induced dipole forces are weaker The stronger the intermolecular bonds, the more energy is required to break them

Concentrated ammonia solution reacts with 1-bromoethane when heated in a sealed tube Draw out the mechanism for this reaction
103
Concentrated ammonia solution reacts with 1-bromoethane when heated in a sealed tube How would you explain the mechanism of this reaction in words
Ammonia is the nucleophile because of its lone pair. It attacks the partial positive charge on the carbon atom and substitutes the bromine atom. There is a partial positive charge because bromine is more electronegative than carbon. After the NH3 attacks the 1-bromoethane, a hydrogen ion is lost from the molecule to give the product ethylamine

Concentrated ammonia solution reacts with 1-bromoethane when heated in a sealed tube Give definitions of nucleophile, electronegativity, substitution, and curly arrow
Nucleophile: a species with a lone pair that can form a covalent bond Electronegativity: the power to attract electrons in a covalent bond Substitution: where one atom or group replaces another atom or group Curly arow: device to show the movement of a pair of electrons
