Q

How do you get from g/dm^-3 to mol/dm^-3?

A

Mass = moles x Mr

Therefore, moles = Mass/Mr

Q

Why are chlorine free radicals an example of a catalyst during the reaction in which they break down ozone?

A

The free radicals stay in the same form throughout the reaction - they are not used up and do not change.

  • Aircraft engines
  • Thunderstorms
17
Q

How does ozone form and what is the equation for the reaction of it’s formation?

A

UV radiation from the sun hits oxygen molecules.

O2 + hv (UV) —> O@ + O@
O@ + O2 —> O3

18
Q

What reasons do humans have for wanting to keep the ozone layer fully intact?

A

It prevents harmful, (high energy), UV radiation from reaching Earth. This energy can damage DNA in cells and can cause skin cancer.

19
Q

What reasons do humans have for wanting to keep the ozone layer fully intact?

A

It prevents harmful, (high energy), UV radiation from reaching Earth. This energy can damage DNA in cells and can cause skin cancer.

20
Q

What is the tropopause?

A

The boundary in the Earth’s atmosphere between the troposphere and the stratosphere.

21
Q

What happens (and what is the reaction) when UV radiation is absorbed by ozone which enables ozone to protect oxygen in the troposphere from UV light?

A

When ozone absorbs UV radiation in the stratosphere, oxygen is produced.

O3 + hv (UV) —> O2 + O@

O3 + O@ —> 2O2

22
Q

Ozone and oxygen both react with UV radiation. If there was no human influence, the thickness of the ozone layer would stay the same. Why?

A

The rate of production and destruction of ozone in the stratosphere is the same. The ozone layer is being constantly destroyed and replaced. It can be represented by an equilibrium reaction:

O2 + O@ —>

23
Q

What happens when hydrogen halides react with Ammonia and what is the reaction for it?

A

White fumes form.
NH3 + HX —> NH4X

X = any halide

24
Q

How soluble are hydrogen halides in water?

A

Very soluble. They form strong acids.

25
Q

What does hydrogen chloride form in water?

A

Hydrochloric acid

26
Q

What does hydrogen bromide form in water?

A

Hydrobromic acid

27
Q

What does hydrogen iodide form in water?

A

Hydroiodic acid

28
Q

Does the reducing power of halide ions increase or decrease down the group and why?

A

The reducing power of the ions increases.
Reducing means to gain electrons, so the ability of ions to give electrons to other atoms improves down the group because…
- the atomic radius increases
- there are more shells of electrons, increasing shielding.

29
Q

Write the equation for the reaction between Potassium Fluoride and sulfuric acid.

A

KF + H2SO4 —> KHSO4 + HF

30
Q

Why does the product of the reaction between Potassium fluoride and sulfuric acid means that there are no further reactions?

A

The product is HF, which is not a strong enough reducing agent to reduce sulfuric acid.

31
Q

Write the equation for the reaction between Potassium Chloride and sulfuric acid.

A

KF + H2SO4 —> KHSO4 + HF

32
Q

Write the equation for the reaction between Potassium Bromide and sulfuric acid.

A

KBr + H2SO4 —> KHSO4 + HBr

2HBr + H2SO4 —> Br2 + SO2 + 2H2O

33
Q

Write the equation for the reaction between Potassium Iodide and sulfuric acid.

A

KI + H2SO4 —> KHSO4 + HI

2HI + H2SO4 —> I2 + SO2 + 2H2O

34
Q

What is produced when haloalkanes react with Ammonia?

A

Amines

35
Q

What is the functional group of amines?

A

A nitrogen atom with a lone pair of electrons.

36
Q

Write the equation for the reaction between 1-iodobutane and ammonia.

A

C4H9I + NH3 —> C4H9NH2 + HI
