Q

with real gases, which of the assumptions made about ideal gases no longer apply under certain conditions.

A

At very high pressure the gas particles are closer together. Under these conditions, the actual volume of the particles becomes significant.
At low temperatures, the particles move less rapidly (have lower average kinetic energy). This means that there is a greater opportunity for intermolecular forces between the particles to have an effect.

22
Q

why is ideal behaviour deviated from at high pressure

A

spaces between particles lessen so intermolecular forces operate and particles become attracted to eachother. additionally, the non zero volume of the particles becomes significant in that the volume of a real gas at high pressure is higher than expected and PV/RT > 1.

Q

describe a titration

A

A titration is a method of volumetric analysis in which the concentration of a solution can be determined. In a titration, a burette is filled with a standard solution of known concentration (the titrant). A carefully measured volume of the solution with the unknown concentration (the analyte) is placed in a conical flask below the burette (Figure 2). An indicator is used to determine the end-point of the titration. In acid–base titrations, for example, a suitable indicator is added to the solution in the conical flask and the volume of titrant required to reach the end-point of the titration is recorded. Acid–base titrations are covered in more detail in section 8.2.2.

Q

how does mass spec work

A
  1. sample vapourised
  2. bombarded with high energy electrons
  3. cations produced
  4. cations accelerated in a electric field
  5. cations reach the detector where they produce a mass spec.

the cations are deflected in a magnetic field depending on their mass to charge ration (m/z). ions with a higher mass to charge ratio are deflected less in the mag
field than ion with alower m/z.

Q

graphene

A

Its tensile strength is 1000 times greater than steel.

It behaves as a semi-metal, so it is very suitable for electronic devices.

Adding only 1% content of graphene to plastics could allow those plastics to conduct electricity.

graphene is the most chemically reactive. This is because of the reactive edges of the structure, where there are carbon atoms with unoccupied (‘dangling’) bonds. This reactivity could be used in important ways. For example, membranes of graphene oxide have been shown to be preferentially permeable to water, which could be useful in desalination and water purification.

sigma

The extra strength of the sigma bond comes from the greater overlap of the atomic orbitals in the bond. In a pi bond, the atomic orbitals cannot overlap as much which results in a weaker bond.

Q

CFC’s

A

Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) are highly stable compounds. This stability was initially seen as an advantage but it meant that CFC molecules released into the lower atmosphere could remain intact and reach the upper atmosphere. Here, when exposed to UV radiation, compounds such as trichlorofluoromethane (CCl3F) decompose to produce chlorine free radicals (Cl*), as shown in the equation below.

A

the suns high energy UV-C raditation to form atoms which are free radicals since they have an unpaired electron. Such oxygen radicals can then react with an oxygen molecule to form ozone.
