Q

The Kinetic Theory of Matter

A

The average kinetic energy of the particles is directly related to the temperature of the substance. (In simpler terminology, when we increase the temperature, we increase the kinetic energy of the substance.)

Q

Give the definition of a State Change and explain why the temperature does not increase during this stage.

A

During a state change the energy added is used to break the intermolecular forces between the particles to cause the substance to change state, not to raise the kinetic energy, so the temperature remains constant.

Q

Evaporation

A

The change of liquid to a gas. Evaporation occurs at the surface and takes place at temperatures below the boiling point i.e puddles on the street.

Q

Boiling

A

Boiling occurs at a specific temperature (when the vapour pressure is greater than or equal to the atmospheric, external, pressure). It is characterized by bubbles, particles leaving the body of liquid.

Q

Liquid

A
  • Variable shape, fixed volume
  • Particles more spaced apart.
  • Weaker inter-particle forces, particles can slide over each other.

16
Q

Relative Atomic Mass formula

A

relative atomic mass (Ar) = weighted average of one atom of the element/one twelfth mass of one atom of carbon-12

17
Q

Define the relative atomic mass

A

The relative atomic mass (Ar) of an element is the weighted average of the masses of its isotopes relative to 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

18
Q

Define the relative molecular mass

A

The relative molecular mass (Mr) of a substance is the weighted average of the masses of the molecules relative to the 1/12 of the mass of a carbon-12 atom.

19
Q

Molecular Formula

A

The total number of atoms of each type in a molecule.

20
Q

Empirical Formula

A

The lowest whole number ratio of atoms in a molecule.

21
Q

Theoretical Yield

A

The maximum amount of product obtainable, assuming 100% of the limiting reactant is converted to product. Usually expressed in grams or moles.

22
Q

Why may the experimental yield be different to the theoretical yield?

A

Reasons for low yield:
- Loss during transfer.
- Equilibrium/reaction did not go to completion.
- Side reactions.

Reasons for high yield:
- Insufficient drying
- Oxidation (gain of oxygen)
- Side reactions

23
Q

Molar concentration

A

Moles of solute per decimetre of solution. mol dm⁻³

24
Q

Gases - Avogadro’s Law

A

Equal volumes of all gases, when measured at the same temperature and pressure, contain an equal number of particles.

25
Q

Kinetic Molecular Theory

A

1) Particles are in constant motion
2) That motion depends upon the absolute temperature measured in Kelvin

26
Q

STP for gases

A

Standard Temperature and Pressure
0°C = 273K
1atm = 100kPa = 100,000Pa

27
Q

Under STP 1 mol of gas occupies..?

A

22.7dm³ (This is called the molar gas volume Vm).
Contains 6.02x10²³ molecules.

28
Q

How do you write a net ionic equation?

A

Write balanced molecular equation
Write the state symbols (s, l, g, aq) for each substance
Split strong electrolytes into ions (the complete ionic equation)
Cross out the spectator ions that appear on both sides of the complete equation
Write the remaining substance as the net ionic equation

29
Q

What are common spectator ions?

A

NO₃²⁻, Na⁺, K⁺
