Q

are group 1 elements reactive or unreactive and why

A

they are very reactive. this is because they readily lose their single outer electron to form a 1+ ion with a stable electronic structure.

Q

what happens as you go down group 1

A

as you go down group 1, the alkali metals get more reactive. the outer electrons are more easily lost as it is further away from the nucleus so it is less strongly attracted to the nucleus and less energy is needed to remove it.

Q

why does the reactivity series go down in group 7

A
  1. a halogen atom only needs to gain one electron to form a 1- ion with a stable electronic structure
  2. the easier it is for a halogen atom to attract an electron, the more reactive the halogen will be
  3. as you go down group 7, the less reactive- this is because it gets harder to attract the extra electron to fill the outershell when it becomes further away from the nucleus as the atomic radius is larger

Q

equation for halogens reacting with metals and hydrogen

A

2Na+ Cl2 —-> 2Nacl
chlorine- halogen

31

halogens can also react with hydrogen to form hydrogen halides

32
Q

equation for hydrogen halides

A

H2 + Cl2 —-> 2HCl

33
Q

why can hydrogen halides form acidic solutions

A

hydrogen halides are soluble so they can dissolve in water forming acidic solutions

34
Q

what is displacement

A

a more reactive halogen will displace a less reactive one. a more reactive element will ‘push out’ -displace- a less reactive element from a compound

35
Q

A

when the halogen GAINS electron

36
Q

what is oxidation

A

when a halide LOSES electrons

37

A

reduction

39
Q

group 0 elements

A

also known as noble gases
- helium
- neon
- argon
- krypton
- xenon
- radon

40
Q

physical features of noble gases

A

they are colourless gases at room temperature

41
Q

chemical features of noble gases

A

-they are all monatomic where their gases are made up of single atoms
- they are more or less inert, they dont react with much at all

42
Q

why dont noble gases react

A

they have a full outershell of electrons meaning they dont give or gain electrons easiy

43
Q

why are noble gases non flammable

A

as they are inert

44
Q

uses for noble gases

A

1- argon- provides an inert atmosphere in filament lamps. since its non-flammable it stops very hot filament from burning away - like flash photography
2- argon and helium can also be used to protect metals that are being welded. the inert atmosphere stops the hot metal reacting with oxygen
3- helium is used in airships and balloons. this is because helium has a lower density than air so it makes balloons float. is is also non-flammable which makes it safer to use than hydrogen gas

45
Q

properties of noble gases

A
  1. boiling point, melting point and density increases as you go down
46
Q

collision theory

A

particles must collide with enough energy in order to react

47
Q

what does the rate of reaction depend on

A
  1. collision frequency
  2. the energy transferred during a collision
  3. the more collisions the higher the rate of reaction
48
Q

collision frequency

A

the more successful collisions there are, the faster the reaction is

49
Q

the energy transferred during a collision

A

the minimum energy that particles need to react when they collide is called activation energy. particles need to collide with atleast the activation energy for the collision to be successful

50
Q

the more collisions the higher the rate of reaction

A

reactions happen if the particles happen with enough energy to react.
so if you increase the number of collisions or energy with which the particles collide, the reaction happens more quickly

51
Q

factors that lead to an increase in the rate of reaction

A
  1. increasing the temperature
  2. increasing the concentration or pressure
  3. smaller solid particles or more surface area means a higher rate
52
Q

increasing the temperature

A

when the temperature increases, the particles move faster. this means there will be more collisions as they are moving faster
higher temperatures also increase the energy of the collisions as the particles are moving faster. reactions only happen if the particles collide with enough energy

53
Q

increasing the concentration or pressure

A

concentration: if a solution is more concentrated, it means there are more particles of reactant in the same volume. this makes collisions more likely.
pressure: in a gas increasing the pressure means that the particles are more crowded. this means that the frequency of collisions between particles will increase. so the rate of reaction will also increase

54
Q

smaller solid particles or more surface area means a higher rate

A

if one reactant is a solid, breaking it into smaller pieces will increase its surface area:volume ratio.
more solid will be exposed compared to its overall volume.
the particles around it will have more area to work on, so they frequency of collisions will increase.

55
Q

what is a catalyst

A

increases the rate of reaction without it being chemically changed or used up in the reaction.

56
Q

advantages of catalysts

A
  • increases the rate of reaction without it being used up
  • because it isnt being used up, it wont change the products of the reaction.
  • this also means that you only need abit to catalyse large amounts of reactants
57
Q

how do catalysts work

A
  1. catalysts work by decreasing the activation energy.
  2. they do this by providing an alternative pathway that has a lower activation energy
  3. as a result, more of the particles have atleast the minimum amount of energu needed for the reaction to occur when the particles collide.
58
Q

enzymes

A

enzymes control cell reactions. enzymes are biological catalysts

59
Q

what are biological catalysts

A

they catalyse the chemical reactions in living cells

60
Q

reactions catalysed by enzymes

A
  • respiration
  • photosynthesis
  • protein synthesis
61
Q

fermentation

A
  • enzymes from yeast cells are used in the fermentation process which is used to make alcoholic drinks
  • they catalyse the reaction that converts sugars into ethanol and carbon dioxide
62
Q

exothermic reaction

A

gives out energy to the surroundings. usually in the form of heat. it is shown by a rise of temperature of the surroundings.

63
Q

endothermic reaction

A

takes in energy from the surroundings. usually in the form of heat. it is shown by a decrease in temperature of the surroundings

64
Q

what is activation energy

A

the minimum amount of energy needed for the particles to collide and for bonds to break in order for a reaction to start.

65
Q

how to measure energy change

A
  1. put a polystyrene cup into a large beaker of cotton cool.
  2. add a known volume of your first reagent to the cup
  3. measure the initial temperature of the solution
  4. add a measured mass/volume of your second reagent and stir the reaction mixture
  5. put a lid on the cup to reduce any energy lost by evaporation
  6. record the maximum or minimum temperature that the mixture reaches during the reaction.
  7. calculate the temperature change
66
Q

what does the cotton wool do

A

gives insulation to help limit energy transfer to or from the reaction mixture

67
Q

how do u measure the temperature change when dissolving salts in water

A
  1. adding the salt to a polystyrene cup of water and measuring the change in temperature when the salt has dissolved
  2. dissolving ammonium chloride decreases the temperature of the reaction mixture - endothermic
  3. dissolving calcium chloride causes the temperature of the solution to rise- exothermic
68
Q

is type of reaction occurs when dissolving ammonium chloride decreases the temperature of the reaction mixture

A

endothermic

69
Q

is type of reaction occurs dissolving calcium chloride causes the temperature of the solution to rise

A

exothermic

70
Q

neutralisation reactions

A
  1. an acid and a base reacts to form a salt and water
  2. most neutralisations are exothermic
  3. neutralisation reaction between ethanoic acid sodium carbonate endothermic
71
Q

displacement reactions

A
  1. a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound. these are exothermic as they release energy
  2. zinc powder and copper sulfate react in a displacement reaction forming zinc sulfate and copper.
72
Q

precipiation reaction

A
  1. precipitates are insoluble solids which can form when two solutions are mixed together.
  2. precipitation reactions are exothermic
73
Q

bond energies

A

energy must always be supplied to break bonds.

74
Q

what happens during a chemical reaction

A

old bonds are broken and new bonds are formed.
- energy must be supplied to break existing bonds so bond breaking is an endothermic process
- energy is released when new bonds are formed so bond formation is an exothermic process
