11
Q

Key point of London Forces.

A

They induce dipoles in neighbouring molecules (like bumpercars) that attact eachother.

No polar bonds

Very weak and short lived

The bigger the molecule the greater the forces
eg C3H6 -89C , C4H8 -43C

The more points of contact, the greater the attraction

Q

Key points of Hydrogen bonding.

A

H atom bonded to a very electronegative element (F, O, N)

Bond between H and lone pair on F, O, N

Stronger that London or permanent dipole-dipole forces.

Q

What are the effects of hydrogen bonds in ice?

A

Ice is less dense than water due to hydrogen bonding because of large areas of empty space.
Ice has ‘diamond-like’ structure.

Permifrost traps methane in empty space.

17
Q

Does ammonia or water have a higher boiling point?

A

Water because it has 2 hydrogen bonds per molecule, whereas ammonia only has 1.

18
Q

Why do boiling points decrease down a group generally?

A

Increased electrons means increased london forces between molecules.

19
Q

What is the bond angle of trigonal planner?

A

120

20
Q

What is the bond angle of linear?

A

180

21
Q

What is the bond angle of non-linear / bent?

A

104.5

22
Q

What is the bond angle of tetrahedral?

A

109.5

23
Q

What is the bond angle of trigonal planer?

A

107

24
Q

What is the bond angle of square planar and octahedral?

A

90

25
Q

What is the temperature used for the habor process and why?

A

450C
Compromise on yield and rate as:

Lower temp gives higher yield of NH3 and forward reaction is exothermic.

High temp gives faster rate.

26
Q

What is the pressure used in the habor process and why?

A

200atm
Compromise on yield and cost as:

High pressure gives higher yield of NH3 as less gass molecules on the right of the equation.

High pressure is very expensive.

27
Q

What is the catalyst for the haber process?

A

Iron

Increases rate but has no effect on yield or position.

28
Q

State Le Châtelier’s principle.

A

If conditions of a system at equilibrium changes then the position of equilibrium moves to oppose the change.

29
Q

What effect does pressure have on Kc?

A

No effect.

30
Q

What is meant by dynamic equilibrium?

A

Both forward and backward reactions occur at the same time and rate.

Concentration for reactants and products is constant.

31
Q

What is the difference between homogeneous and heterogeneous equilibrium?

A

Homogeneous: All reactants and products are in the same state.

Heterogeneous: All the reactants and products aren’t in the same state.
