Q

How do you work out number of moles when given amount of particles?

A

Moles = Number of particles you have / number of particles in one mole (6.02x10^23)

Be careful that if working out how many atoms in a molecule, you have to multiply answer by the amount of atoms in the molecule

Q

However there are 2 exceptions in the rule that ionisation energy increases along a period between group 2 to 3 and group 5 to 6 explain why?

A

The outer electrons in group 3 elements is a p orbital, rather than an S orbital, which means it’s further away from the nucleus, and has additional shielding from s orbital, theses factors overide the increased nuclear charge

In the group 5 elements, the electron is being removed from a singly-occupied orbital, in group 6 being removed from orbital containing 2 electrons. The repulsion means between 2 electrons in a orbital makes it easy to remove from shared orbitals

35
What happens if you increase the pressure in a gaseous equilibrium?
It will shift the equilibrium to the side with the fewer moles of gas
36
What happens if you increase the temperature in a dynamic equilibrium?
The equilibrium shifts in the endothermic (positive enthalpy change) direction So if the forward reaction is exothermic it will shift left If the forward reaction is endothermic it will shift to the right
37
Formula for Kc the equilibrium constant if the reaction is aA + bB (reversible reaction) = cC + dD and how you work Kc out?
Kc = ({C}^c x {D}^d ) / ({A}^a x {B}^b) Just put in concentrations to find Kc To find units use that each concentration has the units moldm^-3 and then use indices rules to find the units

45
How to work out enthalpy change using enthalpies of formation?
Write out the reactants equalling the products, then bellow write out all the elements in their natural states that you require Draw arrows from the natural state elements to the reactants and products, then look how many moles are made and of which substance to work out the enthalpy changes of formation for reactants and products (if element stay the same won't be an enthalpy change, remember to multiply by the amount of moles) Work out total distance from the reactants to products, bearing in mind the first arrow is going in the wrong direction
46
How can enthalpy changes be worked out using the enthalpy change of combustion?
Same method before, however the direction of arrows have changed and so has what's on the bottom On the bottom have water and CO2 and both the lines will be going downwards with an amount of oxygen next to them to balance the equation Work out total distance taking into account second line is going to wrong way

The concentration of each reactant doesn't change significantly over time period of clock reaction Temperature stays constant When the endpoint is seen, that the reaction hasn't proceeded too far
50
Explain the iodine clock reaction?
H2O2 (aq) + 2I- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) = 2H2O (l) + I2(g) Small amount of Sodium Thiosulfate solution and starch are added to an excess of H2O2 (Hydrogen peroxide), and Iodide ions in acid solution (H+) Starch is an indicator and turns blue/black in presence of iodine Sodium thiosulfate instantly reacts with any Iodine that forms making it go back to iodide ions So once the set amount of Sodium thiosulfate is used up solution will go blue/black, so can vary iodide or H2O2 concs to give you different times

72
If you know the pH of solution how do you find it's H+ concentration?
(H+) = 10^-pH
73
What's an important rule for monobasic acids or bases?
H+ concentration = Concentration of acid OH- concentration = Concentration of base
74
How do you find the ionic product of water Kw?
Kw = (H+)(OH-) | If water is pure then ratio between them is 1:1, so Kw is the same as (H+)^2
75
What's important about a weak acid?
Don't fully ionise in solution so H+ conc isn't the same as acid concentration Also it's concentration is the same at start and at equillibrium
76
Formula for Ka the acid dissociation constant?
Ka = ((H+) x (A-)) / (HA) Or Ka = (H+)^2 / (HA) (Ka units are moldm^-3)

79
What do acidic buffers contain?
A weak acid and it's conjugate base Eg CH3COOH(aq) ⇋ H+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
80
What are the 2 ways to form an acidic base?
Mix a weak acid with the salt of it's conjugate base Mix an excess of weak acid with a strong alkali
81
How do acidic buffers resist changes in pH?
If you add a small amount of acid the H+ ion increases,, meaning the position of equilibrium shifts to the left reducing H+ ion concentration. pH doesn't change much If Alkali is added OH- ion concentration increases, they react with H+ to form water, removing H+ ions from solution. Causing equilibrium to shift right so more CH3COOH dissociates, H+ ion concentration increases, pH doesn't change much
82
What are the 2 buffer systems that occur in our blood?
H2CO3 ⇋ H+ + HCO3- | H2CO3 ⇋ H2O + CO2
83
How to calculate the pH of a buffer solution?
Assume that initial concentration of salt is the same the equilibrium value of A- HA initial concentration is the same as it's equilibrium concentration Use and rearrange the Ka formula if necessary So trying to solve for H+ as that is what tells us what can tell us what the pH is
84
What's the vertical part of a pH plot?
The equivalence point | The point where the acid is neutralised and (OH-)=(H+)
85
Describe features f Methyl orange indicator?
Colour at low pH is red Colour at high pH is yellow Approx pH of colour change is between 3 and 4.5 So useful for strong acid/ strong base and strong acid/ weak base
86
Describe phenolphthallein?
Colour at low pH is colourless Colour at high pH is pink Approx pH of colour change is 8 to 10 So useful for strong acid/ strong base and weak acid/ strong base
87
Why can indicators be thought as weak acids?
They have differently coloured conjugate pairs, so as H+ or OH- concs change the equilibrium positions also do phenolphthallein-H (colourless) ⇋ phenolphthallein-(pink) +H+ Methyl orange-H (red) ⇋ Methyl orange- (yellow) + H+
88
What is the standard lattice enthalpy?
The enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic lattice is formed from it's gaseous ions under standard conditions (always exothermic)
89
How to draw a born haber cycle?
At the very bottom have the ionic lattice Then above it have the elements of the ionic lattice in their standard states, with line going downwards showing energy change of formation Then do the atomisation energy of each of the elements, the solids will go to gases, and any diatomic molecules will be come singular, the lines are going upwards Do the ionisation energies of what was the metal, gives +1 charge to the metal gaseous ion and produces an electron, lines go up Do the electron affinitys of the other element, decreasing it's by 1 and removing an electron until you reach it's gaseous ions, arrow may go up or down, look to see if value is positive or negative Lattice enthalpy goes from ions to salt, so to calculate it work out value of all the other arrows going in the correct direction to the salt from the gaseous ions
90
How do you work out enthalpy change of solution if given the enthalpy change of hydration and lattice enthalpy?
Draw an arrow from the salt to it's aqueous ions, this line is the enthalpy change of solution Bellow it have the gaseous ions Draw arrow from the gaseous ions to the salt, this is the lattice enthalpy Then draw arrow from gaseous ions to aqueous ions,this is enthalpy change of hydration Add hydration and lattice enthalpy to find the one of solution
91
What is entropy?
A measure of disorder of particles, the higher it is the more disordered the particles Is effected by state and amount of molecules (in equations) Has to be positive for a reaction to be feesible
92
How do you calculate entropy?
Entropy = Entropy of products - Entropy of reactants So entropy has to increase during a reaction for it to be feesible
93
Formula for the free energy change ΔG?
ΔG = ΔH - TΔS ``` ΔH = enthalpy change (J mol^-1) T= temperature in Kelvin ΔS= entropy change in (J K^-1 mol^-1) ``` If positive, reaction isn't feesible and can make equal 0 to work out when a reaction
94
How would you separate redox reactions into half equations?
Split it into a oxidation half equation (electrons are lost so on product side) and a reduction half equation (electrons are gained so are on reactant side) If trying to find an unknown half equation, can add H2O, H+ and e- to balance
95
The reactions that occur at each electrode are? And what is the standard notation?
Reversible | Always put e- on the reactant side
96
What do you use to know how easy a metal is to oxidise?
E⦵ value, the more negative it is the easy it is to oxidise So the more negative E⦵value reaction goes backwards And the more positive E⦵ goes forwards
97
How do you calculate the E⦵ value of a cell?
E⦵ = E⦵ of more positive side - E⦵ of more negative side So E⦵ will always be positive
98
Standard electrode potential definition?
E⦵ of a half cell is the voltage measured under standard conditions when the half cell is connected to a standard hydrogen electrode (0.00v)
99
How to predict whether or not a chemical reaction will happen or not?
Write down both half equations with electrons on the standard left size Look at the E⦵ value, the more positive one the reaction goes forwards (left to right) The more negative one goes backwards (right to left) Combine the 2 half equations remembering to multiply if uneven amount of electrons Check to see if the combination of half equations matches what has been asked in the question If it does then it's feasible, if doesn't match it's not
100
Explain changes that may occur in a E⦵ cell prediction if conditions are not standard?
If you increase the concentration of Zn(2+) equillibrium shifts left, reducing the ease of electron loss, so the electrode potential of Zn/Zn(2+) becomes less negative and the whole cell potential will be lower If you increase the concentration of Cu(2+), the equillibrium will shift right, increasing the ease of electron gain, the electrode potential of Cu(2+)Cu becomes more positive and the whole cell potential becomes higher
101
Describe how fuel cells generate electricity?
At the anode the platinum catalyst splits the H2 into protons and electrons (H2 = 2e- +2H(+)) The polymer electrolyte membrane only allows the H+ across and forces the e- to travel around the whole circuit to get to the cathode An electric current is created in the circuit, which is used to power something At the Cathode, O2 combines with the H+ from the anode and the e- from the circuit, to form H2O which is the only waste product
102
What are the 2 half equations for the redox titration of Acidified Potassium manganate oxidising Fe(2+) to Fe(3+) and the colour change and what does this titration tell us?
5Fe(3+) Once the reaction has finished will see a colour change from purple to colourless as MnO4(-) is pink and {Mn(H2O)6}(2+) is colourless How much Oxidising agent we need to reduce the species MY OCTPUS 8 HIS 5 EARS "MUNCH" 4 HIPPOS 5 FISH, 5 FERRETS AND 5 EARS
103
What are the 2 half equations for Potassium dichromate solution K2Cr2O7 oxidising Zn to Zn(2+) and the colour change and what does this titration tell us?
Cr2O7(2-) + 14H+ + 6e- = 2Cr(3+) + 7H2O 3Zn = 3Zn(2+) +6e- So equals Cr2O7(2-) + 14H+ + 3Zn = 2Cr(3+) + 7H2O + 3Zn(2+) Colour change when reaction is finished will be orange to green as Cr2O7(2-) is orange and {Cr(H2O)6}(3+) looks green How much Oxidising agent we need to reduce the species
104

Use a certain volume Potassium Iodate solution to oxidise an excess of KI IO3(-) + 5I(-) + 6H+ = 3I2 + 3H2O Find out how many moles of iodine have been produced, by titrating the resulting solution with a known concentration of Sodium Thiosulfate (Na2S2O3), when the solution goes pale yellow showing it's near to the end point, add starch solution, which will show that Iodine is still present by being blue/black, will know reaction is finished when blue/black dissapears I2 + 2S2O3(2-) = 2I- + S4O6(2-) Find the moles of Iodine from second equation, then input it into first equation to find moles of oxidising agent ( divide by 3) and then can find concentration
105
Definition of a transistion element?
A d block element, that can form at least one stable ion with an incomplete d sub shell So scandium and Zinc aren't transition elements
106
Which transition elements are exceptions to the electron configuration filling up rules?
Chromium- prefers to have one electron in each orbital of the 3d subshell and just one in the 4s subshell, makes it more stable Copper- prefers to have a full 3d subshell, and only one electron in the 4s subshell
107
What happens when you mix Copper(II) with NH3 (including equations)?
Cu2(+) + 2OH- = Cu(OH)2 goes from pale blue solution to a pale blue precipitate OH is there as NH3 is a weak alkali Then in excess NH3,Cu(OH)2 dissolves to form {Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2}2+ which is a dark blue colour So the reaction is 4NH3 + {Cu(H20)6}2+ = (reversible) {Cu(NH3)4(H20)2}(2+) + 4H2O
108
What happens when you mix Iron(II) with NH3 (including equations)?

Occurs when an ion can exist in 2 non-superimposable mirror images (don't match each other when put on top of each other) So occurs when in octahedral complexes, when 3 biodentate ligands are attached to the central ion Draw by reflecting in a mirror line

How can cis-trans isomerism occur in complex ions?
When there's only 2 different groups involved The Cis isomers have the same groups on the same side (so are close together as they can be) Trans have the same groups on opposite side
