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

Q

effect of increase in temperature on rate of reaction

A
  • thermal energy transferred to substance
  • converted to kinetic energy
  • molecules of substance move faster + further = increased movement of molecules = collisions occur more often and with greater energy
  • greater proportion of particles with an energy greater than the activation energy
  • increased rate of reaction

Q

effect of catalyst on rate of reaction

A
  • catalyst lowers activation energy resulting in
  • large increase in proportion of particles with energy greater than activation energy
  • more frequent collisions with energy greater than activation energy

25
role of catalysts
- increasing rate of reaction without being used up by providing an alternative reaction path with a lower activation energy
26
homogeneous catalyst meaning
catalysts that are in the same state as the reactants
27
working out the total volume of a mixture of gases
total volume of a mixture of gases = the sum of all the individual partial volumes in the mixture
28
converting between %volume and ppm
% -- x10 to the power of 4 --> ppm
29
haloalkane functional groups
C - X with X being a halogen
30
naming haloalkanes
X - alkane e.g. bromoethane 2 - chlorobutane
31
amine functional group
- NH2
32
naming amines
(alkyl group) amine e.g. methylamine propylamine
33
haloalkane boiling points
induced dipole forces increase from F to I haloalkanes due to increased number of electrons boiling point increases as the number of C atoms in chain increases
34
haloalkane reactivity series
increases going down the group as bigger halogen, weaker bonds, easier to break, more reactive

49
why is iodoalkane more reactive than fluoroalkane

50
heterolytic fission meaning
both electrons in bond move onto one atom forms ions more common in polar bonds + solvents full curly arrow

what does a full headed arrow represent
two electrons moving
55
what does a half head arrow represent
one electron moving away
56
where do reactions of the ozone take place + why
reactions of ozone take place in the stratosphere, as in the stratosphere there is high energy u.v.
57
formation of ozone reaction
a) O = O --h.e u.v--> 2O radical (g) b) O2 (g) + O (g) --> O3 (g)
58
depletion of ozone reaction
O3 (g) --h.e u.v --> O2(g) + O(g)
59
formation + depletion of ozone naturally
steady, rate of formation = rate of depletion, concentration of ozone remains constant
60
problem with ozone now
solar radiation causes haloalkanes that reach the stratosphere to split giving chlorine and bromine radicals
61
chloroalkane depletion of ozone propagation steps
a) Cl radical(g) + O3(g) -> ClO radical (g) + O2(g) b) ClO radical (g) + O(g) -> Cl radical (g) + O2(g)
62
why do C-I molecules have no effect on ozone depletion
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
uses of the ozone
absorbs most high energy UV radiation, preventing it from reaching surface (acts as a sunscreen)
64
effects of UV
- can break DNA and damage genes - increases risk of skin cancer - damages proteins in skin, making people look older
65
polluting effects of ozone in troposphere
- 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
radiation the sun emits, in order of increasing frequency
- infrared - visible light - ultraviolet
67
calculation to work out wavelength
wavelength (m) = speed of light / frequency (Hz)
68
calculation to work out the energy of a photon
energy of a photon (J) = planck's constant x frequency (Hz)
69
calculation to work out bond enthalpy
bond enthalpy (kJmol-1) = energy of a photon (J) x avogadros constant
70
photodissociation process
- 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
71
what is the addition of energy from photons shortened to
+ hv
