Q

why may Hess’ law be useful?

A

In some cases, the heat of formation is impossible to measure directly.
Hess’s law helps us break a reaction or process into a series of small/ more easily measured steps.

A

a stage during the reaction at which chemical bonds are partially broken and formed

32
Q

describe the transition state

A

The transition state is very unstable – it cannot be isolated and is higher in energy than the reactants and products

33
Q

To compare the changes in enthalpy between reactions, all thermodynamic measurements are made under

A

standard conditions:
- A pressure of 100 kPa
- A concentration of 1 mol dm-3 for all solutions
- Each substance involved in the reaction is in its standard state (solid, gas or liquid)
- 298K

34
Q

discuss the bond strength in ozone relative to oxygen in its importance to the atmosphere

A
  • UV radiation Fromm the sun can be very damaging to molecules like DNA (damage to genes->skin cancer)
  • both oxygen and ozone absorb UV radiation

O2 (g) → O⋅ (g) + O⋅ (g)
O⋅ (g) + O2 (g) → O3 (g)
O3 (g) → O⋅ (g) + O2 (g)
O3 (g) + O⋅ (g) → 2O2 (g)

The temperature in the stratosphere is maintained by the balance of ozone formation and ozone depletion in a process known as the Chapman Cycle

The double bond in oxygen is stronger than the delocalised π bonds in ozone
We say the bond order of oxygen is 2 and the bond order of ozone is 1.5

35

37
Q

define first and second electron affinities

A

1st- the enthalpy change when one mole of gaseous -1 ions are formed from gaseous atoms under standard conditions

- eg NaCl (s) -> Na+ (g) + Cl- (g)

40
Q

the value of the lattice enthalpy of a compound depends on the

A

charge and size of the ions

41
Q

the —– the charge the stronger the attraction between the ions so more energy is needed to separate them

A

higher

42
Q

the —– the ion the greater its charge density so the stronger the attraction for oppositely charged ions

A

smaller

43
Q

atomisation to gaseous atoms

addition or removal of electrons to form ions

formation of lattice

44
Q

A

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of solute is dissolved in excess solution to form a solution of ‘infinite dilution’

45
Q

define enthalpy change of hydration

A

the enthalpy change when 1 mole of gaseous ions are added to water to form an infinitely dilute solution

46
Q

give the two steps of dissolving an ionic compound

A
  • breaking the lattice into gaseous ions (lattice enthalpy) - endothermic
  • hydration of the ions, or the surrounding of the ions by water molecules - exothermic
47
Q

why hydration of ions is exothermic

A

energy is given out as water molecules bond to the metal ions

48
Q

enthalpy of hydration of an ion becomes —– exothermic as the charge on the ion increases

A

more; The greater the ionic charge the stronger the ion-dipole interactions that form between the ions in the ionic lattice and water molecules.

49
Q

The greater the ionic charge the stronger the ion-dipole interactions that form between the ions in the ionic lattice and water molecules.

A

less; lower charge density-> weaker ion-dipole interactions

50
Q

Define entropy (S)

A

refers to the distribution of available energy among the particles in a system

51
Q

the more ways the energy can be distributed, the —— the entropy

A

higher

52
Q

solid->liquid->gas effect on entropy

A

increases in entropy

53
Q

gas molecules have —- disorder than those in solution

A

more

54
Q

a solution is —– disordered than a solid

A

more

55
Q

the side of the equation with the greater number of molecules will have —— entropy

A

greater

56
Q

why do liquids have a higher entropy than solids?

A

the particles are free to move so there are more ways of distributing the particles and energy

57
Q

why do gases have the highest entropy values?

A

they are free to move, widely spaced, and there are therefore many more ways of distributing energy between the particles

58
Q

define standard entropy

A

the entropy of one mole of substance under standard conditions, units J/K/mol

59
Q

how do you calculate entropy change?

A

ΣS(products)-ΣS(reactants)

60

A

one which once started continues without the addition of energy

61
Q

A

the entropy of the universe increases

ΔS(total)= ΔS(system) + ΔS(surroundings)>0

62
Q

a reaction will always be spontaneous if

a reaction will never be spontaneous if

otherwise reactions are spontaneous or not depending on

A

it is exothermic and ΔS(system) increases

it is endothermic and ΔS(system) decreases

temperature

63
Q

what does Gibbs free energy (G) do?

A

it relates the energy that can be obtained from a chemical reaction to the change in enthalpy, change in entropy, and absolute temperature

64
Q

give the equation for Gibbs free energy

A

ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

The units of ΔGꝋ are in kJ mol–1
The units of ΔHreactionꝋ are in kJ mol–1
The units of T are in K
The units of ΔSsystemꝋ are in J K-1 mol–1(and must therefore be converted to kJ K–1 mol–1 by dividing by 1000)

65
Q

a reaction occurs spontaneously when ΔG is ….

A

negative

66
Q

give an alternative equation for Gibbs free energy

A

ΔGꝋ = ΣΔGproductsꝋ – ΣΔGreactantsꝋ

67
Q

describe the relationship between Gibbs free energy and equilibrium using a graph

A
  • from the time a reversible reaction commences to the point it reaches equilibrium, the Gibbs free energy is changing as the ratio of reactants to products alters

As the amount of product increases and the reaction moves towards completion (non reversible) or equilibrium (reversible):
- Gibbs free energy decreases
- forward reaction is favoured
- minimum GFE = equilibrium

Past the equilibrium:
- forward reaction becomes non-spontaneous
- reverse reaction becomes spontaneous

68
Q

enthalpy change of reaction if you only have combustion values

A

enthalpy of combustion of reactants - enthalpy of combustion of products

69
