gas

107
Q

what is the unit of standard entropy

Q

how does the temperature effect entropy?

A

greater temp = more energy = more movement

when a solid ionic lattice is dissolved in solution, what happens to entropy?

A

entropy increases because ions are more disordered

110
Q

how does a change in the no. of gas molecules in a reactions effect entropy

G = free energy
H = enthalpy change

s = entropy
113
Q

A

G will be negative and the reaction will be feasible

114
Q

when H is positive and S is negative what will G and the feasibility be

A

G is positive and the reaction is not feasible

115
Q

when H is positive and S is positive what will G and the feasibility be

A

G is negative (and therefore feasible) at high temperatures

116
Q

when H is negative and S is negative what will G and the feasibility be

modern fuel cells are based on what type of fuels?

A

hydrogen

hydrogen rich fuels (e.g. methanol)

145
Q

what reactions take place at the two electrodes in an alkaline fuel cell

A

2H2 + 4OH- –> 4H2O + 4e-

O2 + 2H2O + 4e- –> 4OH-

146
Q

what are the disadvantages of fuel cells?

A

hydrogen is a flammable gas with a low b.p. –> hard and dangerous to store and transport –> expensive to buy
fuel cells have a limited lifetime and use toxic chemicals in their manufacture

147
Q

why can’t some cells be recharged

A

reaction of cell not reversible - product produced either dissipates or cannot be converted back into reactants

148
Q

why may the e.m.f of a cell change?

A

conc. of ions change - reagents used up

149
Q

how can e.m.f be kept constant?

A

reagents supplied constantly, conc. of ions constant, E remains constant

150
Q

how do you write ionic equations

A

remove spectator ions from aqueous compounds

151
Q

what is the rule regarding state of compounds in ionic equations

A

must be aqueous to be split into ions - remains in compound if sol, liquid or gas.

152
Q

what is formed when an acid reacts with ammonia

A

ammonium salt

153
Q

what are the units of Kw?

A

mol^2 dm^-6

154
Q

what does a lower pKa suggest

A

stronger acid

155
Q

what is a monoprotic acid

A

an acid which dissociates to produce one H+ ion for every acid molecule - conc. of acid = conc. of H+

156
Q

how do you find the pH of a diprotic strong acid

A

-log(conc. x 2)

157
Q

what are the assumptions made when using Ka

A
  • only small amount of acid dissociates so can assume that [HA] at equilibrium is equal to [HA] at start of reaction
  • dissociation of acid is greater than dissociation of water present in solution - assume all [H+] is from acid - so [H+] is equal to [A-]
158
Q

how do you use a pH meter

A
  • place in distilled water - should read 7.0
  • repeat with standard solutions of pH 4.0 and 10
  • rinse with distilled water between each solution
159
Q

why can’t you use an indictor to measure the pH change with a weak acid and weak base

A

no sharp pH change

160
Q

what is the name given to Kw?

A

ionic product

161
Q

what factors determine the pH of a buffer solution

A
  • Ka/pKa/acid strength / amount of dissociation
  • temperature
  • ratios of weak acid: conjugate base
162
Q

which direction of reaction does a higher temperature favour

A

endothermic

163
Q

what are two features in dynamic equilibrium

A
  • conc. of reactants and products are constant but are constantly changing
  • the rate of both forward and backward reaction are equal
164
Q

if you need to write an equation which is not redox what should you make sure happens to the oxidation state of each element

A

remains the same

165
Q

what are the acid equations for a fuel cell

A

H2 –> 2H+ + 2e-

4H+ + O2 + 4e- –> 2H2O

166
Q

what are the alkali equations for a fuel cell

A

O2 + 2H2O + 4e- –> 4OH-

4OH- + H2 –> 4H2O + 4e-

167
Q

what happens to ions in acid/alkali fuel cells?

A

alkali - OH- ions move right to left

acid - H+ ions move left to right

168
Q

what is the equation for the MnO4 titration with iron

A

MnO4(-) + 8H(+) + 5Fe(2+) –> Mn(2+).+ 5Fe(3+) + 4H2O

169
Q

what are the equations for the iodine - sodium thiosulphate titration

A

IO3(-) + 5I(-) + 6H(+) –> 3H2O + 3I2

I2 + 2S2O3(2-) –> S4O6 (2-) + 2I(-)

170
Q

what is the colour change in the iron MnO4 titration?

A

purple –> colourless

171
Q

define the ionic product (Kw)

A

conc. of H+ ions multiplied by conc. of OH- ions

172
Q

why is it unlikely for a reaction to occur between HNO3 and H2SO4 if it is in water?

A

water is a stronger base (more likely to accept a proton) than HNO3

173
Q

what will the pKa value of HNO3 be if the pKa value of H2SO4 is -3 (H2SO4 is stronger)

A
  • any value less negative than -3

- HNO3 is weaker and will therefore have a larger pKa

174
Q

what are two common assumptions when calculating pH of weak acids

A
  • [H+] and [A-] are equal

- [HA] is the same at equilibrium and undissociated

175
Q

what should be written in the question asking why a buffer solution is formed

A
  • write equation

- some acid is in excess

176
Q

how do you find A in an Arrhenius graph

A
  • y intercept = lnA

- A = e^lnA

177
Q

how do you find Ea from an Arrhenius graph

A
  • find gradient

- multiply by negative gas constant (as -Ea/RT)

178
Q

how do you rearrange the Arrhenius equation to find the activation energy

A

Ea = (lnA - lnK) RT

179
Q

how do you rearrange the Arrhenius equation to find the temperature

A

T = Ea/R(lnA-lnK)

180
Q

what does the gradient equal in a first order graph

A

k

181

A
