Q

O-O = +300KJmol-1
O=O = +500KJmol-1

why are these values positive and what does this tell you about the strength of the O=O compared to O-O ? (3)

A
  • positive because energy has to be put in to break bond
  • = endothermic process
  • O=O bond is stronger than O-O

ASH3 = -55 degrees BP
SbH3 = -17 degrees BP

explain the trends in boiling points (4)

A
  • PH3, AsH3 and SbH3 have IDDI only
  • so BP increases as no. e- in mlcl increases

79
Q

why is the solubility of chloroform (CHCl3) 10 times greater than that of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) in water ? (3)

A
  • C-H bond in chloroform is more polarised due to increased electronegativity of Cl atoms
  • CHCl3 = polar mlcl but CCl4 = tetrahedral so no overall dipole moment
  • polar water mlcls interact better w polar CHCl3 mlcls then non polar CCl4 mlcls
80
Q

explain why BP of water is higher than both HF and NH3 (3)

A
  • each H2O mlcl can form 4 H bonds
  • higher BP than NH3 as H bonds are stronger and has more polar bonds and conatin 2X as many H bonds
  • higher BP than HF as has 2X as many Hbonds
81

82

A

As size of mock increases Bp increases

83
Q

Compare and contrast boiling points of H2S and HCl (2)

A
  • both have PDDI
  • but H2S has higher BP as it’s a larger mlcl
84
Q

Boiling points in data shows 2 anomalies, explain why they are anomalous and suggest reasons for these (2)

A
  • HF and H2O are much smaller mocks but have higher BP’s
  • as they have Hbonds which are stronger intermolecular forces
