Q

How to measure the enthalpy change of neutralisation

A

•React acid and alkali in a polystyrene cup in a beaker
•Make sure the temperature of the acid and alkali are the same.
what is happening is H+ + OH- –> H20
•Measure the change in temperature.
ERROR:
- uncertainties of measurements using pipette or thermometre.
- some heat transf. to thermom or polystyerene cup.

Q

Experiment to measure enthalpy change of combustion

A

1.Weigh the liquid in the burner (alcohol)
2.Light a spirit burner under a beaker containing water
3.Measure the initial temp
4.When the temperature of the water has increased by 20 C extinguish the flame
5.Measure the final temperature
6.Enthalpy change can not be measured directly
(Q=mcΔT)

ERRORS:

  • energy losses from calorimeter
  • incomplete combust of fuel
  • incomplete transfer of energy
  • evaporation of fuel after weighing
  • heat capacity of calorimeter should not be included
  • measurements not carried out under standard conditions as H20 should be gas not liq

In homologous series the no. of C atoms increases so enthalpy of combust increases by constant amount. Calculated value is greater than experimental due to error.

Q

experiment for measure enthalpy change of reaction

A

. put polystyrene cup in a beaker for insulation and support
. Measure out desired volumes of solutions with volumetric pipettes and transfer to insulated cup
. measure the initial temperatures of the solution or both solutions if 2 are used. Do this every minute for 2-3 minutes.
. At minute 3 transfer second reagent to cup. If a solid reagent is used then add the solution to the cup first and then add the solid weighed out on a balance.
If using a solid reagent then use ‘before and after’ weighing method.
. stirs mixture (ensures that all of the solution is at the same temperature)
. Record temperature every minute after addition for several minutes.

ERROR
• energy transfer from surroundings (usually loss)
• approximation in specific heat capacity of solution. The method assumes all
solutions have the heat capacity of water.
• neglecting the specific heat capacity of the calorimeter- we ignore any
energy absorbed by the apparatus.
• reaction or dissolving may be incomplete or slow.
• density of solution is taken to be the same as water.

Extrapolate the temperature curve/line back to the time the reactants were added together.
As when adding 2nd subst there is heat loss/ gain straight away so temp does not rise/fall too much. We consider heat loss/gain to be constant in time so we extrapolate to get true value of change in temp.

Q

impossible to find enthalpy change of a reaction

A
  • C and H do not react under normal conditions
  • C and 02 do not react to form CO2 solely but others CO.
    . Hess’s law is used to work out the enthalpy change to form a hydrated salt from an anhydrous salt.
    This cannot be done experimentally because it is impossible to add the exact amount of water and it is not easy to measure the temperature change of
    a solid. Instead both salts are dissolved in excess
    water to form a solution of copper sulfate.
    The temperature changes can be measured
  • ADD aq to the cycle inside
    . Hess’s law is used to work out the enthalpy change for the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate.
    This cannot be done experimentally because it is impossible to add the heat required to decompose the solid and to measure the temperature change of a
    solid at the same time. Instead both calcium carbonate and calcium oxide are reacted with hydrochloric acid to form a solution of calcium chloride. The temperature changes can be measured.
  • ADD HCl aq to reactant end and product end to give 2 DIFF REACTIONS forming products down and arrow points down too.

32
Q

strength of lattice enthalpy depends on

  1. size of ion - larger the ion, less neg the enthalpy - further apart the ions are so have weaker forces of attractions
  2. charges on the ion - bigger the charge, greater the forces of attraction so more -ve values

the enthalpy of formation is ENDO - CaCl3 is the least stable form

41

A
  • use experimental values via born harber cycle

- theroretical values via physical calc

42
Q

A
  • cations same size and charge

- anions same charge but F- is smaller than Cl- so NaF is more exo

43

A
  • anions same size and charge
    -Mg2+ smaller than Na+
    and have higher charge density
44
Q

higher the hydration enthalpy - the smaller the ions and greater the charge

47
Q

/\sol H tells us

A

if exothermic - substance is soluble - gives energy

48
Q

if subst is insoluble

is a measure of disorder in a system

ALWAYS POSITIVE

51
Q

A

incr in entropy

52
Q

more random arrangement of particles

A

incr in entropy

2Cus + 02g -> 2CuOs = decr in entropy

53
Q

signs in chemistry

A

gives info abt a reaction

54
Q

how entropy is affected by temp

A

entropy of pure subst increases with incr energy
1. particles at higher temp have higher energy and move more
2. the arrangement of particles at higher temp becomes more random
solid

55
Q

when water boils and becomes gaseous its entropy rises

A

as temp is constant at 100’ there is a change in state

56
Q

entropy when dissolving ionic solids

A

if a reaction results in products tht allow more disorder then entropy incr
e.g. hydrated CuSO4.5H2O = Cu2+aq + SO42- aq + 5H2Ol

57
Q

how does the no of gas molec affect entropy

A

rise in no. gas molec during a reaction causes an incr in entropy
e.g. decr in entropy 2Mgs + O2 g -> 2MgO s

58

Q

spontaneous processes/ changes

A

for a process to happen spontaneously entropy must incr. if reaction is spont. and feasible it will take place of its own accord and does not take into account of ROR
e.g. metal rusting in O2
2Fes + O2g -> 2FeOs
entropy is low but still spontaneous react occurs.

  • ENTHALPY will be NEG

- /\S tot must be POSIT
- ENTHALPY will be NEG

63
Q

Entropy change in any reaction eq

A

/\S tot = /\S syst + /\S surround

64
Q

entropy change in surroundings

A

/\S surr = - /\H (J/mol)/ T (K)

65
Q

Gibbs free energy

A

using entropy and enthalpy used to determine the feasibility of the reaction and temp

/\G (KJ/mol) = /\H - T/\S syst need to convert J/K/mol into (KJ/mol)

66
Q

entropy of a reaction is always +ve

A

change still may only be spontaneous at certain temps. as temp affects the -/+ value

67
Q

for a reaction to be spontaneous

A

/\S tot = + ve

/\G must be -ve < 0

68
Q

At minimal temp or above the reaction is feasible

A
  • /\G = 0
    0 = /\H - T/\S
    T = /\H / /\S
69
Q

/\G links to gas constant

A

= - TRlnk
T - temp
R - gas constant
k - equilib constant

rearrange
k = e- ( /\G (J) / TR)

if /\G is -be then K>1 more equilib lies towards products

70
Q

if /\G is +ve than exponent is +ve and K<1 so

A

equilib lies towards reactants and never get 100% products. /\G is positive it does not mean reaction is not taking place but it’s impossible for all reactants to converted into products

71
Q

rough rule of thumb

A

if /\G < -40kJ/mol all reactants are converted to products

if /\G > +40 very few reactants converted to products

/\G = - RTlnk = /\H - T/\S

lnk = - /\H/RT + /\S/R
- incr in temp = -/\H/RT - less +ve so overall total lnk = smaller - k = smaller this shifts equilib to counteract the change and shift to the left
