Q

process of formation of instantaneous dipole - induced dipole bond

A
  1. random movement of electron creates a temporary instantaneous dipole
  2. instantaneous dipole produces an induced dipole in a neighbouring molecule
  3. id-id forces are the temporary attraction between an instantaneous dipole on one molecule and an induced dipole in a neighbouring molecule

Q

trends in instantaneous dipole - induced dipole forces

A
  • the strength of id-id forces increases with the polarisability of the molecule
  • bigger atoms = more electrons = stronger id-id forces = higher bpt
  • bigger molecule = more electrons = stronger id-id = higher bpt
  • straighter chain molecule = more id-id opportunities = overall stronger id-id = higher bpt

Q

reasoning for hydrogen bond criteria

A
  • O, N, F are the most electronegative elements so they can withdraw electrons, making H very partially positive
  • H must bond to O, N, or F on other side because they have lone pair of electrons which are directly involved in H bond
  • Hydrogen - because no inner electrons to shield nucleus when bonded to very electronegative element, the hydrogen nucleus is deshielded

Q

effect of concentration on rate of reaction

A
  • increase in concentration = more molecules of substance in the same volume = more closely packed together = collisions between molecules become more likely and probability of a collision occurring with energy greater than or equal to activation energy increases
    = rate of reaction increases

56
Q

where do reactions of the ozone take place + why

A

reactions of ozone take place in the stratosphere, as in the stratosphere there is high energy u.v.

57
Q

formation of ozone reaction

A

a) O = O –h.e u.v–> 2O radical (g)
b) O2 (g) + O (g) –> O3 (g)

58
Q

depletion of ozone reaction

A

O3 (g) –h.e u.v –> O2(g) + O(g)

59
Q

formation + depletion of ozone naturally

A

steady, rate of formation = rate of depletion, concentration of ozone remains constant

60
Q

problem with ozone now

A

solar radiation causes haloalkanes that reach the stratosphere to split giving chlorine and bromine radicals

61
Q

chloroalkane depletion of ozone propagation steps

A

a) Cl radical(g) + O3(g) -> ClO radical (g) + O2(g)
b) ClO radical (g) + O(g) -> Cl radical (g) + O2(g)

62
Q

why do C-I molecules have no effect on ozone depletion

A

C-F bonds are the least likely to break, and C-I are the most likely
this is because C-F has the highest bond enthalpy and C-I the lowest
so most C-I bonds react before reaching the stratosphere, and thus have little effect on the ozone layer

63
Q

uses of the ozone

A

absorbs most high energy UV radiation, preventing it from reaching surface (acts as a sunscreen)

64
Q

effects of UV

A
  • can break DNA and damage genes
  • increases risk of skin cancer
  • damages proteins in skin, making people look older
65
Q

polluting effects of ozone in troposphere

A
  • photochemical smog -> leads to irritation and respiratory problems
  • ozone is tocis to humans
  • UV radiation is one of the main ways humans produce vitamin D
66
Q

radiation the sun emits, in order of increasing frequency

A
  • infrared
  • visible light
  • ultraviolet
67
Q

calculation to work out wavelength

A

wavelength (m) = speed of light / frequency (Hz)

68
Q

calculation to work out the energy of a photon

A

energy of a photon (J) = planck’s constant x frequency (Hz)

69
Q

calculation to work out bond enthalpy

A

bond enthalpy (kJmol-1) = energy of a photon (J) x avogadros constant

70
Q

photodissociation process

A
  • electrons in any molecule have fixed energy levels
  • electrons may be excited to a higher energy level when they absorb radiation
  • with even more energy, the bonding electrons will no longer be able to hold the bond and radicals will be formed (aka photodissociation)
  • ionisation is also possible if there is enough energy for an electron to leave
