Energy Changes
Endothermic reaction
-
If an endothermic reaction occurs in a closed container the temperature of said container will decrease
-
Exothermic reaction
-
If an exothermic reaction occurs in a closed container the temperature of said container will increase
-
Bond energies
During a chemical reaction three things happen: Bonds of reactant molecules are broken, the atoms re-arrange themselves and the bonds of product molecules are formed
-
-
-
Bond energy values are always positive and therefore endothermic as there are more energy in the products than reactants
-
Activation energy = the minimium amount of energy needed by the reactant particles in order to begin to colide with each other and start the reaction
Cells and Batteries
-
Formed when you connect two electrodes with a wire in electrolyte solution (which is a liquid that ions can flow through). There's also a voltmeter which measures the voltage of the cell.
-
Certain factors affect the voltage of the cell: The metals used as electrodes (the greater the difference in reactivity the greater the voltage), The type and concentration of the electrolyte used and the conditions such as temperature
-
Fuel cells
-
Electricity occurs when a potential difference happens as the ions move through the anode to the cathode
-
-
-
-
Oxygen enters via the cathode and Hydrogen enters from the anode, water that is formed leaves from the outlet in the cathode
When hydrogen gas enters a fuel cell, it loses electrons to become hydrogen ions.
When Oxygen gas enters a fuel cell, it gains electrons and Hydrogen atoms to form Water ions.
Pros: Both oxygen and hydrogen cause 0 pollutants and, they last longer than batteries - they are also renewable
Cons: Hydrogen is hard to store and flammable, it also requires energy from fossil fuels
Chemical changes
Acids and Bases
-
0 - 6 is acidic
By using a universal indicator you can see what colour a substance is, acids are red
-
-
You can also use a pH probe to get a numerical value, which is more accurate compared to colours
-
-
-
Strong and weak acids
Strength = how much the acid dissociates (releases ions), strong acids fully release their H+ ions whereas weak acids only partially ionise
-
When weak acids dissociate the reaction is reversible meaning that the products can react together to refrom the acid
As the concentration of an acid increases the pH decreases, as more hydrogen ions are being released
The concentration of hydrogen ions, increase by a factor of 100x
Neutralisation reactions
-
-
-
During a neutralisation reaction, the positive metal ions from the acid alkali to form molecules of water ions from the acid react with the negative
-
Reactivity series
The reactivitiy series is an order of metals which rank them on how easily they can lose their outershell electrons
-
Metals always lose their electrons to form positive ions
-
In a displacement reaction, the more reactive metal will take the place of the less reactive metal in its equation.
-
-
-
Electrolysis
Used to split up ionic compounds using electricity and an electrical current through the electrolyte.
-
-
-
Graphite is often used as an electrode, as its a good conductor of electricity
-
Aqueous Electrolysis
-
Cathode will discharge the lesser reactive one so: Copper,Gold,Silver,Platinum
At the anode its a similar thing, however if a halide ion (F- or Br-) is present then its discharged, if not then its the OH- ion
In a dissolved solution, there are the ions that you are trying to extract and the ions from water (H+ and OH-)
Electrolysis of CuSO4
-
Cathode = Copper ions get discharged (as its below hydrogen in the reactivity series) copper accumulates around cathode as a solid
Anode = The hydroxide ions get discharged as there is no halide ions present, hydroxide gives up its electron and forms oxygen and water
-
Bonding, Structure and Properties of Matter
Ions
-
-
-
-
Atoms of elements in group 1,2,3 are more likely to form ions because it requires less energy.
-
Ionic structure
Ionic compounds are usually joined in a regular repeating lattice with strong electrostatic forces of attraction between them, this means they have high melting and boiling points they also conduct electricity when molten and aqueous.
Covalent
-
-
Simple covalent substances don't contain many atoms - rather they have covalent bonds which are very strong but intermolecular forces between the atom which are weak.
