Q

how does the chelate effect occur and is it

A

occurs when a monodentate ligand is subsistuted by a bidentate or multidentate ligand.
it results in a large increase in entropy as more moles on RHS of equation due to subsistution (this is the chelate effect)

Q

what is cis-trans isomerism

A

where ligands can be spaced in different positions relative to one another. its a special case of E-Z isomerism. for example if you have 4of one type of ligand and 2 of another the 2 ligands that are the same can be arranged either at 90 degrees (next to each other) which displays cis isomerism or 180 degrees (opposite) which displays trans isomerism.

if alike ligands are opposite to one another then it is trans isomer
if alike ligands ligands are next to each other then its cis isomer

28

cis isomer of [PtCl2(NH3)2]

29
Q

cisplatin use

A

very effective anti-cancer drug, it works by binding to the DNA in cancerous cells and stops cell replicating
the 2 Cl- ions on the cisplatin are substituted for the two N atoms on the adjacent Guanine bases

A

when has at least 2 bidentate ligands

31
Q

what is tollens reagent complex ion

A

[Ag(NH3)2]+ Ag+ forms the linear complex

32
Q

how are transition metals identified

A

by thier colour

33
Q

how does colour arise in transistion metals

A

when some of the wavelengths of visible light are absorbed and the remaining wavelengths of light are transmitted or reflected

34
Q

what happens when light is absorbed in transition metals

A

d electrons move from the ground state to an exited state when light is absorbed

35
Q

what is the energy and length or wavelength of colors in white light

A

ROY = lower energy, longer wavelength
G
BIV- higher energy, shorter wavelength

36
Q

the frequency of light which provides the change in energy between 2 d subshells can be found by the formulas:

A

change in energy(J)= hf or = h(c/wavelength of light)
where
h= planck constant Js
and f = frequency of light s-1
c= speed of light

37
Q

if a transition metal compounds has a large energy change between d subshells then

A

BIG E BIV abs
high energy light(BIV)
will be absorbed to excite electrons
ROY will be reflected so compounds will look red/orange

38
Q

if a transition metal compounds has a small energy change between d subshells then

A

small E ROY abs
low energy light (ROY)
will be absorbed to exite electrons
BIV will be reflected by the compound
so compound will look blue/ pourple

39
Q

what changes can alter the colour of the TM compumd

A

LOCo
change in ligands
change in oxidation state of the metal
change in coordination number of the complex

40
Q

where is the absorption of visible light used

A

spectometry

41
Q

what is a simple colorimeter used for

A

to determine the concentration of coloured ions in the solution

42
Q

how to find the concentration of an unknown sample from the calibrations curve

A

measure the absorbance of known conc
plot graph absorbance v conc
read value conc for measured absorbance
from this graph

43
Q

lower oxidation states and higher oxidation states types of ions

A

lower oxidation states exist as simple ions
higher oxidation states only form as ‘polyatomic’ ions eg manganese in the (VII) exists as the manganate ion MnO4-

44
Q

reduction of vanadium species

A

vanadate(V) ion reduced to (VO3)- or (VO4)3- or (VO2)+
in acidic conditions by solid Zinc which itself is oxidised Zn —> Zn2+ +2e-

45
Q

what is the redox potential for transition metals ion changing from a higher to a lower oxidation state influenced by

A

pH (larger in acidic solutions, some need H+ to be reduced some others releases OH- when reduced) and by the ligand(different ligands may make the redox potential larger or smaller depending on how well they bind to a particular metal ion in a particular oxidation state)

46
Q

colour change Fe2+ to Fe3+

A

green to brown

47
Q

colour change MnO4- to Mn2+

A

purple to colourless

48
Q

(Cr2O7)2- to Cr3+ colour change

A

orange to green

49
Q

what is the redox potential of on ion or atom

A

how easily it is reduced to a lower oxidation state

50
Q

how does tollens reagent use redox to distinguish between aldehydes and ketones

A

prepared by adding just enough ammonia solution to silver nitrate solution to form colorless solution containing the complex ion [Ag(NH3)2]+ when added to aldehyde tollens reagent reacts to give a silver mirror, by the aldehyde is oxidized to carboxlilic acid and Ag+ ions are reduced to silver metal

51
Q

what is a catalyst

A

speeds up rate of reaction and doesn’t get used up in reaction. works by providing an alternative reaction pathway with a lower activation energy

52
Q

transition metals and their compounds can act as

A

heterogenous and homogenous catalysts

53
Q

what is a heterogeneous catalyst

A

is in a different phase from the reactants and the reaction occurs at the active site on the surface

54
Q

what is a homogenous catalyst

A

in the same phase as the reactants and reaction proceeds through an intermediate species

55
Q

mechanism steps of heterogeneous catalyst

A

reactants adsorb onto the surface of the catalyst on an active site
reaction occurs on the surface of the catalyst
products desorb from the surface of the catalyst

56
Q

how to make heterogenous catalyst more effecient

A

increase surface area
spread the catalyst over an inert support medium

57
Q

why don’t heterogeneous catalysts last forever and how increases time they last

A

posisoning can occur
impurities can block the active sites
this prevents the reactants from adsorbing
purifying the reactants if the best way to prevent to poisinging

58
Q

catalyst for making ammonia in Haber process and the eqaution

A

catalyzed by solid iron heterogenous
N2(g) + 3H2(g) <—> 2NH3(g)

59
Q

heterogenous catalyst for making sulphric acid in the contact process and the equations

A

heterogenous catlayste solid vandium(V) oxide - V2O5(s)
1- SO2(g) + V2O5(s) <—-> SO3(g) + V2O4(s)
2- 2V2O4(s) + O2(g) <—> 2V2O5(s)
overall- 2SO2(g) + O2(g) —> 2SO3(g)
sulfuric acids then formed by reacting SO3 and H2O

60
Q

catalyst for making methanol

A

Cr2O3
heterogenous

61
Q

why in homogenous catlyst is the activation energy of the uncataluysed reaction so high

A

the two negative ions repel

62
Q

catatlyse for reaction of I- and (S2O8)2-
eqautions and why

A

Fe2+ (homogenous) needs catalyst as both negative
(S2O8)2- (aq) + 2Fe2+(aq) –> 2(SO4)2-(aq) + 2Fe3+(aq)
2I-(aq) +2Fe3+(aq) —> I2(aq) + 2Fe2+(aq)
overall equation
(S2O8)2-(aq) + 2I- –> 2(SO4)2-(aq) +I2

63
Q

what is autocatalysis

A

unusual example of homogeneous catalysis, where one of the products of the reaction actually catalyses’ the reaction as it proceeds further

64
Q

autocatalysis example in oxidation of ethanedioic ions

A

by mangate(VII) ions

65
Q

explain with the aid of eqautions how reaction between manganite (VII) ions and ethanedioate ions are catalysed

A

Uncatalysed reaction very slow :
2MnO4- +16H+ + 5C2O4 2- —-> 2Mn2+ +8H2O + 10CO2
Quickens as reaction proceeds as Mn2+ formed acts as autocalyst, reacts with MnO4- ions to form Mn3+ as an intermediate species
4(Mn)2+(aq) + MnO4-(aq) + 8H+(aq) –> 5Mn3+(aq) + 4H2O(l)
which then reacts with C2O4 2- ions to reform Mn2+
2Mn3+ (aq) + (C2O4)2-(aq) —> 2CO2(g) + 2Mn2+(aq)

66
Q

describe and explain the conc vs time graph for reaction between MnO4- and C2O4 2

A

the rate starts off slow as there is no catalyst initially.
the 2 negatively charged reactants collide with a very high Ea
then as some Mn2+ is formed the rate increases as the reaction is being increasingly catalyzed.
the rate then decreases and levels off as the reactants get used up
