Q

07.02 Enthalpy Values

The chemical reaction and enthalpy change for burning methane (CH4) is given below. If 38.5 grams of methane are burned, how many kilojoules of energy are transferred, and is this reaction endothermic or exothermic?

CH4 + O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

△H = −890.0 kJ/mol

A

The enthalpy change value of this reaction tells us that for every mole of methane (CH4) burned, 890.0 kilojoules are given off because the enthalpy change is negative. This is an exothermic reaction. Use the enthalpy change as a conversion factor between moles of methane and kilojoules of energy.

38.5 g CH4÷1 × 1 mol CH4 ÷ 16.05 g CH4 × −890.0 kJ ÷ 1 mol CH4 = −2,135 kJ

This shows that as 38.5 grams of methane are burned, 2,140 kilojoules of energy are released.

Q

07.03 Honors Entropy

An endothermic reaction will decrease the entropy of the surroundings because it absorbs energy.

37
Q

07.03 Honors Entropy

What is entropy?

A

the property that describes the disorder of a system (S)

38
Q

07.03 Honors Entropy

How does entropy change in relation to the phases of matter?

A

Rises from Solid → Gas

Gas: highest

Solid: lowest

  • Entropy increases as a substance changes to a less condensed state (solid to liquid or liquid to gas). This is because an increase in the motion of particles means an increase in disorder. Gas particles have many more positions and arrangements available to them than the same particles in the solid state.
  • Entropy increases when substances mix or something is dissolved because mixing particles together increases the disorder.
  • Entropy increases when the total number of moles of products is greater than the number of moles of reactants because a greater number of particles leads to a greater chance of disorder.
  • The entropy of any sample increases when temperature increases because of the increase in kinetic energy and movement.
  • Entropy is greater for particles with a greater mass. For example, one mole of Cl2 has a greater mass than one mole of F2, so the entropy of the chlorine sample is greater.
  • Entropy is greater for weakly bonded compounds than for strongly bonded compounds. For example, the carbon atoms in graphite have weaker bonds than the carbon atoms in diamonds, so the entropy is greater for the sample of graphite.
  • Entropy is greater for compounds with greater complexity (greater number of atoms, greater mass, etc.).

Q

07.03 Honors Entropy

What is free energy?

A

41
Q

07.03 Honors Entropy

What is Gibbs’s Free Energy Equation?

A

  • △H: enthalpy change
  • T: temperature
  • △S: entropy change

At a constant temperature and pressure, a process is spontaneous in the direction that gives a negative change in free energy (−△G).

Q

07.05 Reaction Rates

What is the Collision Theory?

A

“For particles to react successfully, they must collide”

  • states rate of reaction is determined by the number of successful collisions
  • occur over a given amount of time

Successful Collision: enough energy for reactants to intersect valence shells, create new bonds, make product

Two Factors:

  1. adequate speed of particles
  2. correct orientation
57
Q

07.05 Reaction Rates

How does complexity and alignment relate?

A

  • must collide energy equal/greater
58
Q

07.05 Reaction Rates

What is the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve?

A

Represent distribution of particle energy within a sample at a given temperature

  • activation energy requirement → requirement for successful collisions
    • under particles under this area: not enough energy to react
    • only particles represented on upper part: enough energy to react

When analyzing a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve, a common mistake is thinking that the curve with the higher hump is the one with the greater temperature. Remember, the curve shows the number of particles with a given energy. But because temperature is a measurement of the average kinetic energy, the curve that has more particles with higher energy (or shifted right) is the one with the higher temperature. Therefore, in the graph above, curve T2 reflects a higher temperature than curve T1.

61
Q

07.05 Reaction Rates

How are reaction rates related to “temperature and rates?”

A
  • slight increase temperature: changes distribution of energy in a sample
    • kinetic increase little amount → large increase number of particles meet and exceed activation eneryg
  • Reation not happen fast enough: raised temperature help
62
Q

07.05 Reaction Rates

How do cataylsts and rates infuence reaction rates?

70
Q

07.06 Equilibrium

Describe dynamic equilibrium in relation to dissolving and crysallization.

A

Dynamic equilibrium is also possible during dissolving and crystallization, which are both physical changes. For instance, when salt dissolves in water, it doesn’t change chemically; it just breaks apart. As more salt is dissolved in the water, it reaches a saturation point, and the salt begins to crystalize again. At this point, a balance has been reached in this physical process; salt is continuously dissolving at the same rate as it is crystallizing. The salt and water solution is in dynamic equilibrium.

Q

07.06 Equilibrium

What is the rates of Reactions Graph?

A

Compares the reaction rates over time

  • see when equilibrium happens
  • The point on the graph when the forward and reverse reactions reach equal rates, is when the reaction has reached dynamic equilibrium.
75
Q

07.06 Equilibrium

What is the Concentration Graph?

A

describes the change in concentrations of reactants and products over time

  • direct relationship between concentration and rates of reverse reaction
  • The point on the graph when both concentrations plateau and remain constant when the system has reached dynamic equilibrium.

Q

07.06 Equilibrium

What is the significance of the K (equilibrium constant)?

A

K > 1

The forward reaction proceeds to the right, giving more products than reactants when the system reaches equilibrium.

K < 1

The forward reaction will not proceed very far before equilibrium is established, and the system will have more reactants than products at equilibrium.

Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

What is Le Châtelier’s Principle?

A
  • equilibrium reactions want to stay in equilibrium → distrurbed through stress → change concentration to shift to a new equilibrium.
    • discovered by Henri Louis Le Châtelier

Equilibrium reactions show the forward and reverse reactions occurring simultaneously using a double arrow pointed in both directions in the chemical equation.

A + B ⇄ C + D

Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

How is stress on equilibrium reaction described?

A
  • A shift right means the reaction moves in the forward direction and yields more products.
  • A shift left means the reaction moves in reverse (backward) and yields more reactants.

Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

How do catalysts affect equilibrium?

A
  • increases rate of reaction (providing alternative reaction path)
  • Lowers activation eneryg for both forwards and reverse reactions
    • no effect equilibrium
81
Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

What is the Le Châtelier’s Principle for Concentration?

A

If a component (reactant or product) is added to a reaction system at equilibrium, the equilibrium position will shift away from what was added to lower its concentration.

If a component is removed from a reaction system at equilibrium, the equilibrium system will shift to replace some of what was removed.

82
Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

What is

Le Châtelier’s Principle for Pressure?

A

When the pressure of an equilibrium system is increased, the system will shift in the direction that decreases the total moles of gas in the system to minimize the stress.

The opposite is true if pressure is decreased; the system will shift toward the side of the equation that has a greater total number of moles of gas.

83
Q

07.07 Le Châtelier’s Principle

Le Châtelier’s Principle for Temperature:

A

When an equilibrium system is heated, the temperature increases in the system. It will shift forward (right) in an endothermic reaction and backward (left) in an exothermic reaction.

When an equilibrium system is cooled, the temperature decreases. The system will shift backward (left) in an endothermic reaction and forward (right) in an exothermic reaction.
