Q

What are some metallic properties of transition metals?

A
  • All of the d-block elements are metals
  • They have strong metallic bonds (high mpts + bpts)
  • Small size and close packing (high density) of the ions result in strong electrostatic forces of attraction between the positive metal ions and the delocalised electrons
  • They have higher melting and boiling points and higher densities than s-block

Q

What is the trend in first ionisation across the d-block elements?

A

There’s only a slight increase in 1st IEs across the d-block elements
- The nuclear charge increases
- and the shielding also increases, as the additional electron is added to 3d subshell, which shields the 4s electrons from the positive nucleus
- These two factors almost cancel each other out

Q

Compare the successive ionisation energies of Calcium and Vanadium

A

For Ca, the first two IEs are relatively low as the electrons are being removed from 4s orbital. There’s a big jump between the 2nd and 3rd ionisation energies because the third electron is removed from the 3p orbital. The e- in the 3p orbital is closer to the attraction of the nucleus and experiences less shielding so more energy is needed to remove it.

For V, the 4s and 3d electrons are very close in energy so there’s no big jump in successive IEs for vanadium until the sixth electron is removed

Q

Which compounds tend to be ionic?

A

Lower oxidation states tend to involve ionic bonding eg/MnCl2. Ionic bonding in transition metals form when 4s and then 3d electrons are lost to form positively charged ions.

Q

Why are transition metals/ions coloured?

A
  • When surrounded by ligands the d-subshell splits into two
  • Electrons get promoted/excited from the lower orbitals to the higher orbitals by absorbing frequencies of light within the visible region
  • The colour of the complex is complementary to the absorbed light

Q

Describe how the d-to-d transition occurs?

A

When an ion is surrounded by ligands, some d orbitals are closer than others to the ligands, because of their distribution in space. The ligands may be roughly regarded as clouds of negative charge, which push the orbitals closest to them to slightly higher energy levels

Why can’t ammonia further deprotanate any of the precipiate?

A

Weak base

51
Q

What happens when excess ammonia is added?

A

Sometimes the precipitate does dissolve but this is due to a different type of reaction called ligand exchange (aka ligand substitution)

Square planar
Pt2+, d8, [5d8]

63

Kidney failure, hair loss

65
Q

What is the use of haemoglobin?

A

Transport oxygen in the blood

66
Q

What is inside each of the 4 polypeptide chains of haemoglobin?

A

Porphyrin ligand surrounding an Fe2+ ion. Each porphyrin ligand forms 4 dative covalent bonds to the central Fe2+ ion

67
Q

What shape is haemoglobin?

A

Octahedral - one of the other two sites is bonded to the protein structure leaving one site to which oxygen can bond as a ligand

68
Q

Why is oxygen not a good ligand?

A

Easily comes off the iron when needed to transfer to cells for respiration

69
Q

Why are carbon monoxide and cyanide compounds toxic?

A

Better ligands than oxygen and so will bind to haemoglobin in preference to oxygen (ligand exchange occurs) - prevent the transportation of oxygen around the body

70
Q

Draw out an equation for the reaction between [Cr(NH3)6-3+ and 1,2-diaminoethane

A

4 particles (all aq) –> 7 product particles (all aq)

71
Q

Does the reaction between [Cr(NH3)6-]3+ and 1,2-diaminoethane have a positive ∆S sys?

A

This reaction occurs because of an increase in the entropy of the system. All the particles in the equation are aqueous and 4 reactant particles are converted into 7 product particles. The ∆Sys therefore becomes more positive as the disorder increases

72
Q

Why is enthalpy not the driving force for this ligand exchange reaction?

A

In this reaction, 6 Cr-N bonds are broken in the reactants and 6 Cr-N bonds are formed in the products. The ∆H for this reaction would therefore be roughly equal to zero. Enthalpy is not the driving force behind this ligand exchange reaction.

73
Q

What is another example of a ligand exchange reaction?

A

[Fe(H2O)6]2+ (aq) + edta4- (aq) –> [Feedta)]2- (aq) + 6H2O (l)

74
Q

What would the ∆Sys for the reaction of edta4- be?

A

The ∆Sys would be more positive in this example
- The more positive the value of ∆Sys, the more negative the value of ∆G and the more thermodynamically feasible the reaction is

75
Q

What is green Cr3+ oxidised to?

A

Yellow chromate ions, Cr2O4 2- (aq) using a strong oxidising agent eg/H2O2

76
Q

Why are transition metal ions with low oxidation more readily oxidised in alkane conditions over acidic?

A

As it is easier to remove an electron from a negatively charged ion

77
Q

Give the equation of a water molecule attacking [Cr(H2O)6]3+

A

An aqueous solution of Cr3+ ions would be naturally acidic, as the 3+ ion is polarising, distorting the electron density of the water ligands, weakening the O-H bonds in the water ligands, allowing the solvent water molecules to act as bases
[Cr(H2O)6]3+ (aq) –> [Cr(OH)(H2O)5] 2+ (aq) + H3O+ (aq)

Therefore, rather than starting with [Cr(H2O)6 3+, better to start with [Cr(OH)6] 3-

78
Q

Give the half equations and overall equations in alkaline conditions ([Cr(OH6)]3-

A

([Cr(OH)6]3- + 2OH- –> Cr2O42- + 4H2O + 3e- ) x2
(H2O2 + 2e- –> 2OH- ) x3

2[Cr(OH)6]3- + 3H2O2 –> 2CrO42- + 8H2O + 2OH-

79
Q

What happens when dilute acid is added to yellow Cr2O42-

A

It converts to the orange Cr2O7 2-

2CrO4 2- (aq) + 2H+ (aq) ⇌ Cr2O7 2- (aq) + H2O (l)

85
Q

What is a catalyst?

A

Substance that increases the rate of a chemical but is not used up in reaction

86
Q

How do catalysts speed up reactions?

A

Providing an alternative route with a lower activation energy

87
Q

How do catalysts act in reversible reactions?

A

Catalysts increase the rate at which equilibrium is reached by speeding both the forward and reverse reactions - do not alter the position of equilibrium nor the value of K

88
Q

What is the advantage of using a catalyst to increase rate of reaction over other methods?

A

Increasing temp or increasing pressure is that it reduces energy costs and also save resources (fossil fuels)

89
Q

What is a heterogeneous catalyst?

A

A catalyst that is in a different phase to the reactants
- Usually a solid and the reaction takes place on the surface of the solid

90
Q

What are some industrial processes that involve heterogeneous catalysis

A
  1. Hydrogenation (Ni catalyst)
  2. Making oxygen (MnO2 catalyst) ( 2H2O2(aq) –> 2H2O(l0 + O2(g))
  3. Haber process (Fe catalyst) ( 3H2(g) + 2N2(G)
91
Q

What are some industrial processes that involve heterogeneous catalysis

A
  1. Hydrogenation (Ni catalyst)
  2. Making oxygen (MnO2 catalyst) ( 2H2O2(aq) –> 2H2O(l0 + O2(g))
  3. Haber process (Fe catalyst) ( 3H2(g) + 2N2(g) ⇌ 2NH3(g) )
  4. Contact process (V2O5 catalyst) (2SO2(g) + O2(g) ⇌ 2SO3(g))
92
Q

How does a heterogeneous catalyst work?

A
  • At least one of the reactants is adsorbed onto the surface. This means the reactants form bonds to the atoms/ions in the solid surface. Partially filled d-orbitals in transition metals are good at accepting electron density
  • Active sites: where reactants are adsorbed on the surface
  • Adsorption of reactants onto the surface results in an increased rate
  • The products are then desorbed from the surface of the catalyst, freeing up the active sites
93
Q

What are the place where reactants are adsorbed called?

A

Active sites

94
Q

Adsorption of reactants onto the surface can result in increased rate in a number of ways:

A
  1. Adsorption onto the surface effectively concentrates the reactants i.e. brings them closer together than in the gas phase, so increasing the likelihood of collision
  2. It may weaken some of the bonds in the molecule, making the reaction easier
  3. It may position the molecule in a favourable orientation for the reaction to occur
95
Q

What needs to happen for the catalyst to work?

A

Molecules must be adsorbed onto the surface

96
Q

What happens if adsorption is too weak?

A

Few molecules will be adsorbed so the catalyst will have very little effect

97
Q

What happens if adsorption is too strong?

A

Molecules will not be able to move around the active sites, and so be less likely to meet another reactant and so be less likely to react

98
Q

What is the nature of the catalyst?

A

Large surface area therefore less catalyst is needed to produce the same effect
- Maximising SA is important for cost savings

99
Q

How is the surface area of a catalyst maximised?

A

By using a very thin coating of the catalyst on some type of support medium (often a honeycomb structure)

100
Q

What’s the advantage of heterogeneous catalysts over homogeneous?

A

They can be easily separated from the reaction mixture by filtration

101
Q

What are the two specific examples of heterogeneous catalysis?

A

V2O5 acts as a catalyst in the contact process
Catalytic converters decreases carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide

102
Q

How does V2O5 act as a catalyst in the contact process?

A

SO2 (g) + V2O5 (s) –> SO3(g) + V2O4(s)
V2O4(s) + 1/2O2 (g) –> V2O5 (s)

Overall equation: SO2(g) + 1/2 O2 (g) –> SO3(g)

103
Q

How does a catalytic converter decrease carbon monoxide and nitrogen monoxide emissions from internal combustion engines?

A

The catalyst in catalytic converters is made from various alloys of platinum, rhodium and palladium. CO and NO molecules are adsorbed onto the surface of the catalyst. This weakens the bonds in the molecules, making the subsequent reaction easier. The products, CO2 and N2 are then desorbed from the surface of the catalyst

104
Q

What happens when catalysts are poisonous?

A

Blocks the active sites
- Lowers the efficiency of the catalyst, or could make it totally ineffective depending on the extent of the poisoning
- Poisons are difficult to remove

Q

What is a homogeneous catalyst?

A
  • A homogeneous catalyst is one that is in the same phase as the reactants
  • Take place in solution
  • Proceed via an intermediate species formed from a reactant and the catalyst, which then reacts further and regenerates the catalyst
106
Q

How does a transition metal homogeneous catalyst work?

A

Transition metal ions have the ability to vary their oxidation states which allows them to act as catalysts

107
Q

What are the two specific examples of a homogeneous catalyst?

A

The reaction between iodide ions and persulfate ions
Autocatalysis

108
Q

Why is the reaction between iodide ions and persulfate ions slow?

A

2I- (aq) + S2O8 2- (aq) –> I2 (aq) + 2SO4 2- (aq)

Because it involves the reaction of two negative ions (they repel each other making collisions unlikely).

109
Q

What is the reaction between iodide ions and persulfate ions catalysed by?

A

Fe2 + ions (aq), which act as a catalyst because they easily change between the oxidation states Fe (+2) and Fe (+3)

110
Q

Give the equation for the reaction between iodide ions and persulfate ions:

A

Step 1: 2Fe 2+ (aq) + S2O8 2- (aq) –> 2Fe3+ (aq) + 2SO4 2- (aq)
Step 2: 2I- (aq) + 2Fe3+ (aq) –> I2 (aq) + 2Fe2+ (aq)
Overall equation: 2I- + S2O8 2- –> I2 + 2SO4 2-

The catalytic Fe2+ ions are therefore regenerated

111
Q

What is autocatalysis?

A

Where one of the product catalyses the reaction

112
Q

What is the reaction between manganate (VII) ions and ethanedioate ions?

A

Slow
- Rate can be increased by adding a source of Mn2+ ions

2MnO4- + 5C2O4 2- + 16H+ –> 2Mn2+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O

113
Q

What is the intermediate in the reaction between manganate (VII) ions and ethanedioate ions?

A

Mn3+
