25
Why solutions can be stable for long time despite E° value of reaction being spontaneous?
Actual reaction conditions could vary greatly from the standard conditions. (Temp, pressure, concentration)
26
Catalyst vs enzymes
Increases rate of reaction by providing an alternative pathway with lower activation energy for reaction to occur, and is chemically unchanged (and regenerated) by the end of the reaction. Enzymes just add ‘biological’ and ‘protein in nature’
27
Enzymes characteristics
Highly selective Only work over a narrow pH range and temperature range (easily denatured) Specific in nature (can only be used for 1 task) highly efficient Neither homogenous nor heterogeneous, **colloidal in nature**
28
Homogenous catalyst
Catalyst is in the same physical state as the reactants
29
Heterogenous catalyst
Catalyst is in a different physical state from the reactants
30
Homogenous mixture
Reactants and products are in the same physical state
31
Heterogenous mixture
Reactants and products are in different physical states
32
What to exclude in Kp/Kc calculations?
Conc of solids, conc of more liquids in heterogenous, conc of solvents
33
Why TM can act as heterogenous and homogenous catalyst?
Heterogenous: Reactants form weak interactions with surface of TM, covalent bonds in reactant molecules weakened. Ea falls, and surface conc of reactant molecules increases (allows more to come into close contact with each other in correct orientation) —> rate of reaction increases —> products desorp and catalyst can be used for other reactants Homogenous: variable oxidation states allow TM to oxidise/reduce compounds and be regenerated by transitioning btw oxidation states —> lower activation energy needed for reaction to occur (especially btw like charge ions with very high repulsion btw them)
34
Complex or complex ion
Central metal atom or ions surrounded by ligands that are bonded to it through a dative bond
35
Ligand
Ligands are neutral molecules or anions that have at least 1 lone pair of electrons that can be used to form a dative bond with a transition metal atom or ion.
36
Coordination number of transition metal complex
Number of dative bonds formed between ligands and transition metal atom or ion in a complex
37
How is a complex formed?
TM high charge density, highly polarising, attract LP of electrons from surrounding particles towards itself. Can accommodate more electrons also because energetically accessible vacant 3d, 4s, 4p, 4d electron subshells. Overall of empty orbital in TM atom or ion and fully filled orbital of ligand —> forms a dative bond
38
How stability of TM ions can be affected by dif ligands?
2024 prelim p2 qn - haemoglobin + 4O2 ⇌ oxyhaemoglobin + 4H2O - at high conc of O2 (eg lungs), ligand exchange happens, water ligands replaced with O2 ligands, POE shift right, H2O and oxyhaemoglobin released
39
Colour of TM complexes
Cu: Cu(H2O)6 2+ blue Cu(NH3)4(H2O)2 2+ dark blue CuCl4 2- yellow CuI white ppt Cu2O brick red ppt Cu(OH)2 blue ppt Cr: Cr2O7 2- orange CrO4 2- yellow Cr(H2O)6 3+ green Cr(OH)3 grey green ppt **Cr(OH)6 3- dark green** Fe: Fe(H2O)6 2+ pale green Fe(H2O)6 3+ yellow Fe(H2O)5SCN 2+ blood red Fe(OH)2 green ppt Fe(OH)3 reddish-brown ppt Mn: MnO4 - purple Mn(H2O)6 2+ colourless/pale pink Mn(OH)2 off-white ppt Mn(OH)3 **brown** MnO2 brown ppt Al: Al(OH)3 white Al(OH)4 - colourless Ag: Ag(NH3)2 + colourless AgCl white ppt AgBr off-white ppt AgI yellow ppt Zn: Zn(OH)2 white Zn(OH)4 2- colourless Zn(H2O)6 2+ colourless Zn(NH3)4 2+ colourless
40
How colour arises in complexes
**Assuming shape of complex as octahedral,** due to ligand approach, orbitals are split into 2 dif energy levels (d-d splitting) An electron from the lower energy level absorbs a photon from the electromagnetic spectrum and is promoted to a higher energy level. Wavelength of photon is determined by degree of splitting. The colour observed is complement to those absorbed in visible region of spectrum.
41
Ionic bond
eFOA btw oppositely charged ions
42
Metallic bond
eFOA between sea of delocalised electrons and lattice of positively charged ions
43
Covalent bond
eFOA between shared pair of electrons and positively charged surrounding nuclei
44
How to determine strength of ionic bond?
Ionic bond strength: lattice energy (energy released when 1 mole of ionic solid is formed from its isolated gaseous ions an infinite distance apart)
45
Factors affecting metallic bond strength
Charge density of cation No of delocalised electrons —> more extensive/stronger eFOA
46
Factors affecting covalent bond strength and explain why each factor affects
Multiplicity of bond: more shared electron pairs = stronger eFOA between shared pair of electrons and nuclei of atoms = stronger covalent bond **Size of atom**: smaller = less diffuse orbitals = more effective overlap = stronger covalent bond Proximity of lone pairs: closer together = more (excessive) repulsion between LP = weaker covalent bond Polarity: comparable size, induction of partial charges due to electronegativity differences = more polar bond, eFOA between partial charges strengthens covalent bond
47
Formation of dative bonds
One compound has a lone pair of electrons available for donation and the other has **energetically accessible** orbitals that it can use to accept electrons NOT THE SAME as H bond! Don’t mix up! Neither need to be highly electronegative for this
48
Sigma bond
Head on overlap, electron density concentrated between the nuclei of the 2 bonding atoms
49
Pi bond
Side on overlap, less effective, region of overlap is above and below nuclear axis, node present
50
Node
Region of space in which there is a zero probability of locating electrons
51
Ionic bonds with covalent character
Ionic bonding, assumed to be perfectly symmetrical spheres. But when oppositely charged ions are close to each other, partial sharing of electrons because cation attracts valence electrons of anion towards itself and polarises electron cloud of anion. Partial covalent character
52
Factors for degree of covalent character in ionic bond
Charge density of cation Polarisibility of anion
53
Ionic character in covalent bond
Perfect covalent bond—> non polar only exists when electronegativities are exactly the same Most molecules, not. Partial positive and partial negative charges induced, ionic character
54
Factors affecting ionic character in covalent bond
Net dipole moment (dipole moment = charge x distance between the nuclei of the 2 atoms)
55
Id-id, pd-pd interactions description
eFOA between polar ends of the molecule / between opposite partial charges
56
H bond description
eFOA between highly electron deficient H (that is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atoms) and lone pair of electrons on highly electronegative atom
57
Drawing of dot and cross diagram: is it central atom or side atoms that must be satisfied?
Always satisfy Side atoms first then consider whether centre one has energetically accessible centre
58
Nature or bonding in AlCl3, BeCl3 and BCl3
All covalent, because high charge density of cations causes electron cloud of anion to be polarised to a very large extent (GMS) But for AlCl3 if they ask structure, it is actually GICLS as a solid, SMS as molten/gas (period 3 notes) so this one specifically needa see context
59
Why mostly bonds will be hybridised orbitals?
Much more effective overlaps than s-s or p-p so much stronger bond (s orbitals spend more time close to their respective nuclei, and less in the binding region. p orbitals spend more time in the binding region; that is close both the nuclei; thus s-p overlap forming a stronger bond than s-s overlap - https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/why-s-p-orbital-overlap-is-stronger-than-s-s-overlap.498941/#)
60
Why there is a difference between experimental and theoretical values of LE? (Emphasis on ‘difference’ not larger experimental than theoretical; you can’t predict that)
Explain the covalent character thing LE calculated on assumption that ions are 2 perfectly spherical point charges but there’s a disagreement in values for experimental (consider polarising power of cation and polarisability of anion —> degree of electron cloud distortion, electron sharing and covalent character). Higher covalent character = larger disagreement. **FYI** Hey apparently they use coloumb’s law to calculate; link btw phys electric fields and like chem ionic charge Larger theoretical than experiential suggests covalent bonds —> ionic weakened (When ionic bonds exhibit covalent character, there is a degree of sharing of electron density between the ions. This sharing reduces the effective charge that each ion experiences, as the electron cloud is distorted so strength of ionic bonds reduced.) vs larger experimental than theoretical suggests more energy is needed to overcome the covalent bonds between the lattice ions to break up the lattice. (Since additional bonds and interactions created ig)
61
Structures and descriptions
Giant metallic crystal lattice structure: orderly arrangement of metal cations and sea of delocalised electrons held together by strong eFOA between … Giant molecular structure: each c atom is covalent bonded to .. other atoms with eFOA between shared pair of electron and nuclei of surrounding atoms … (hexagonal + layers w id-id due to delocalisation of remaining electron / extensive tetrahedral network) Simple molecular structure: weak interactions (pd-pd/id-id/h bond) between … molecules Giant ionic crystal lattice structure: regular arrangement of cations and anions held together by strong eFOA between opp charged ions
62
Electrical conductivity for each structure (what is the key thing to say?)
Ions/electrons can act as mobile charge carriers to carry charges around —> can conduct electricity Non-conductor: no mobile charge carrier since covalent molecules in SMS are neutral/since ions are held in fixed position by strong ionic bonds (GIS) GMS- graphite structure, good conductors in direction parallel to layers as delocalised electrons act as mobile charge carrier under applied PD but poor conductor in direction perpendicular to plane as delocalised electrons cannot jump across layers
63
Physical properties (for each structure)
GMCLS: ductile and malleable (mobility of delocalised electrons allows layers of cations to slide over each other without shattering structure) GICLS: brittle (slight displacement brings together ions of like charge, shattering lattice structure), hard (strong eFOA) GMS: diamond: hard (strong eFOA), graphite: flaky and slippery (weak idid between layers) SMS: soft (weak idid)
64
Bp/mp format
Structure Bonding Energy
65
Why lone pair more repulsion that bond pair?
Lone pair held closer to nucleus than bond pair since bp shared w another atom

78

Tendency of half-cell to undergo reduction relative to the standard hydrogen electrode
79
Factors affecting electrode potential
change concentration of ions POE to shift left/right Reduction/oxidation pre-dominates Reduction potential (more/less positive/negative)
80
How to calculate standard electrode potential?
See which ions go cathode vs anode. Most + at cathode —> reduced; most - at anode —> oxidation E(cell) = E(red)- E(oxi)
81
Predict feasibility with E0 cell value
<0 thermodynamically infeasible as written =0 reaction at eqm, not spontaneous in either direction >0 thermodynamically feasible as written
82
Limitations of using E to determine feasibility
Might be thermodynamically feasible but not kinetically feasible Possible reasons: high Ea (strong covalent bonds require a lot of energy to break/similar charge ions require a lot of energy to overcome repulsion first) or very slow rate (unobservable in the short term) OR conditions non-standard. POE shift —> E and E cell shifts —> thermodynamically feasible under these conditions
83
Calculate standard Gibbs free energy from standard cell potential
ΔG = -nFE NB: Stoichiometric coefficient affects G (by affecting no. of moles of e transferred) but NOT E

86
Electrolysis of brine, equations
2H2O + 2e- —> H2 + 2OH- [R] 2Cl- —> Cl2 + 2e- [O] (Because of conc difference for cathode side, POE shift, E cell of Cl- can rise above that of H2O —> preferentially oxidised) Cathode: steel Anode: titanium Cats like to ‘steal’; can ‘titan’ ‘anot’
87
Purpose of electrolysing Brine Purpose of anodising aluminium Purpose of electroysing copper
Brine: Manufacture chlorine from salt Anodising aluminium: Create an insoluble Al2O3 layer/thicken it around the aluminium object to resist corrosion and act as an electrical insulator Copper: To purify impure copper
88
Equations for anodising aluminium
2H2O —> O2+ 4H+ + 4e- [O] 4Al + 3O2 —> 2Al2O3 2H+ + 2e- —> H2 [R] Cathode: pt electrode Anode: aluminium object
89
Electrolysis of Brine, anodising of aluminium and electrolytic purification of copper (what solutions are used?)
Electrolysis of Brine: concentrated NaCl (aq) Anodising Aluminium: H2SO4 (aq) Electrolytic purification of copper: CuSO4 (aq)
90

Number of moles of electrons transferred to discharge one mole of ion at an electrode is equal to the number of charges on an ion.
93
Faraday’s first law
Mass of a substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the amount of electricity passed.
94
Faraday equations
Q = It Q = F x no. of moles of electrons One faraday = avogadro’s constant x charge of 1 electron (F=Le)
95
How to find avogadro’s constant?
Set up electrolysis cell with CuSO4 (aq) as electrolyte and 2 Cu electrodes **of known mass*. Pass current of known I for a fixed period of time (t seconds) Remove electrodes and find gain in mass of cathode (m grams) (gain in mass at cathode should be same as loss in mass at anode) —> **wash, dry and re-weigh** Use m/63.5 to find number of moles of Cu Then use 2 x It/F to find number of moles of Cu (2 times the number of moles of electrons transferred) Solve for F Use equation L=F/e to find avogadro’s constant (L)
96

97

98
Explain unique electric config of Cr and Cu
Half and fully filled shells associated with higher stability as inter-electronic repulsion between 4s electrons are minimised
99
Explain trend in 1st IE (TM)
Roughly invariant NC increase (since protons increase) offset by increase in shielding effect since electrons added to penultimate 3d electron shell —> ENC roughly constant —> 1st IE roughly constant
100
Explain anomalies in 2nd IE of TM
Roughly invariant NC increase (since protons increase) offset by increase in shielding effect since electrons added to penultimate 3d electron shell —> ENC roughly constant —> 2nd IE roughly constant Except for Cu and Cr, because 2nd electron removed from inner 3d shell —> shielding effect much lower than other TM, ENC higher, eFOA stronger, more energy needed to remove 2nd valence e of Cr and Cu —> higher than expected 2nd IE
101
Explain trend in 3rd IE of TM and anomaly
NC increase (since protons increase) but roughly constant shielding effect since all have some number of inner shell electrons —> ENC increases across the group —> 3rd IE increases across the group Anomaly: Fe; removal of 3rd electron is from 3d orbital with paired electrons (which experience repulsion) and would form a half-filled 3d subshell associated with higher stability —> eFOA between valence e and positive nucleus lower, much less energy needed to remove 3rd valence electron —> lower than 3rd IE of other TM
102
Melting point of TM vs s block metals
TM Higher More electrons can be delocalised per atom (4s and unpaired 3d can all be delocalised compared to only 4s electrons for s block metals so eFOA between sea of delocalised e and positive cations increased) —> more energy needed to overcome —> higher mp
103
Density of TM vs s block
TM higher Proton number higher —> NC higher and shielding effect lower (d orbitals more diffuse, shielding effect less effective for TM); ENC higher, eFOA between positively charged cations and valence electrons higher —> v e held closer to nucleus —> atomic radii and volume smaller Mass higher because atomic number is higher for TM Density = mass/volume; larger mass, smaller volume —> density higher
104
Explain why TM have multiple oxidation’s states compared to s block elements, and how to determine how many oxidation states it has.
For TM, 4s and unpaired 3d can all be delocalised because 3d and 4s electrons are close in energy compared to only 4s electrons being delocalised for s block metals because 4s and 3p electrons vary greatly in energy Maximum oxidation state is sum of unpaired 3d electrons and 4s electrons.
105
Why Zn does not show +3 oxidation state?
Max os of Zn is +2 (has 0 unpaired 3d electrons, and 2 4s electrons)
106
Explain different OS of TM in covalent and ionic compounds, and how it affects nature of oxides
Low OS: Ionic, basic High OS: Covalent, acidic High OS = higher polarising power (since charge density = charge/radius is higher) —> highly able to polarise electron cloud of anion and form high degree of covalent bonding
107
Why steel harder than iron but more brittle? (Sec 4 concept)
- carbon and iron atoms of different sizes —> lattice structure less orderly —> more difficult to displace without breaking metallic bonds/shattering lattice structure But also more brittle than iron Harder to displace but once lattice structure is no longer orderly they can’t easily slide over one another anymore —> more easily broken/shattered
108
Why chromium in stainless steel?
Formation of chromium oxide so water can’t reach iron inside so can’t form rust
109
Zwitterionic bonds in water
Ion-dipole! NOT just H bond!
110
Why might bond angles not align with VSEPR theory?
Size of neighbouring atoms —> repulsion between electron cloud of neighbouring atoms (more significant for larger molecules) —> larger bond angle Electronegativity of atoms: central atom more electronegative —> pull lone pair of electrons towards the nucleus of the central atom —> more repulsion between electron pairs —> larger bond angle
111
Why might bond angles not align with VSEPR theory?
Size of neighbouring atoms —> repulsion between electron cloud of neighbouring atoms (more significant for larger molecules) —> larger bond angle Electronegativity of atoms: central atom more electronegative —> pull lone pair of electrons towards the nucleus of the central atom —> more repulsion between electron pairs —> larger bond angle
112
Factors affecting id-id
Number of electrons/electron cloud size (affects polarisability and stuff) Degree of branching (affect extent of id-id formed)
113
Factors affecting pd-pd
Net dipole moment, affects strength of pd-pd
114
Factors affecting H bond
Extent of H bonds (no. Of H bonds per molecule) Dipole moment of H-X bond (where X=F/O/N) because affects the magnitude of the partial positive charge on H
115
Explain trend of melting points for groups 15, 16 and 17 and explain why NH3, H2O and HF do not follow the trend.
All structures are SMS (covalent bonds within molecule with weak __ between molecules) In same period, idid gets stronger since size of electron cloud increases and higher polarisability of e cloud = higher extent of id-id = more energy needed to overcome = rising melting point BUT FON are highly electronegative, making the 3 molecules highly polar and held by H bonds —> stronger and require more energy to overcome —> higher than expected boiling points when compared to hydrides formed by other elements in their respective periods
116
Explain differences in density of ice and liquid water, in terms of structure and bonding
Liquid, water interact in clusters, can form H bonds with 2 neighbouring water molecules H bonds constantly break and reform —>
117
Explain differences in density of ice and liquid water, in terms of structure and bonding
Liquid, water interact in clusters, can form H bonds with 2 neighbouring water molecules H bonds constantly break and reform —> water molecules slide past each other easily vs solid, form H bonds w 4 others, tetrahedral arrangement —> rigid, highly ordered, open structure, **water molecules more spaced out** When ice melts, water molecules can move into the cavities of the ice structure —> increases number of water molecules per unit volume —> ice is denser
118
Explain phenomenon of dimerisation, and conditions
Only in non-polar solvent / gaseous phase 2 carboxylic acids with similar masses form intermolecular hydrogen bonds and bond together, hence exist as dimers Polar solvent, preferentially forms H bonds with much higher proportion of polar solvent molecules
119
How intramolecular H bonding affects mp/bp?
Close proximity of ___ groups allows the molecules to experience intramolecular H bonds between them —> fewer sites available for formation of intermolecular H bonds —> extent of intermolecular H bonds less, less energy needed to overcome —> lower mp/bp
120
Soluble/insoluble? (Explanation)
Energy released from the formation of ___ (in)sufficient to overcome energy that needs to be absorbed to overcome the ____ bonds.
121
Solubility of the different structures in polar and non-polar solvents?
GMS: insoluble in both GIS: Soluble in polar, insoluble in non-polar SMS: like dissolves like
122
Explain arrangement and movement of particles in solid, liquid and gaseous states
Solid: particles are very close together, held in orderly arrangement, vibrate about their fixed positions Liquid: particles are close together and arranged in fairly orderly manner, but can vibrate, rotate and move through the liquid Gas: particles are far apart, mainly empty space between particles, move freely through the container with continuous random motion.

State basic assumptions of kinetic theory applied to ideal gas and which one applies to real gases as well?
Perfectly elastic collisions (no loss of kinetic energy upon collision) Size and Volume of gas particles with respect to volume of container is negligible Intermolecular forces of attraction between gaseous atoms is negligible Ave KE of molecules proportional to temp (K) Applies to both: in continuous, rapid and random linear motion
124
Conditions for real gases to behave most ideally
High temp, low pressure
125
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution curve axes and describe how the curve changes when temp is reduced
Number of molecules with given energy against energy ; area under curve must remain the same Peak shifts left, fraction of particles with lower energy increases, and fraction with higher energy decreases More particles with most probable energy and lower proportion at lower energy
126
Charles’ Law
At constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature in Kelvin.
127
Boyle’s law
At constant temp, volume is inversely proportional to pressure of the gas.
128
Gay-lussac’s law
At constant volume, pressure of the gas is directly proportional to temperature of the gas in kelvin.
129
Avogadro’s law
Same volume of gases at same temp and pressure have the same number of particles.
130
Dalton’s law of partial pressure
Total pressure is the sum of partial pressures of all the gases in the system, provided that the gases do not react chemically.
131
Deviation graph, key points to note and explain why there are negative and positive deviations
Axes: PV/RT against external pressure Negative deviation: low external pressure, molecules about to strike the walls experience significant IMFOA to neighbouring molecules, reducing impact with which they hit the walls of the container. Observed pressure hence lower than expected, and PV/RT is less than expected —> negative deviation Positive deviation: at high external pressure, volume of molecules with respect to container no longer negligible, because they are pushed very close together and less compressible. Volume of observed gas is larger than ideal volume —> PV/RT larger than expected —> positive deviation.
132
Explain factors affecting extent of deviation from ideal gas behaviour in real gases
Type of IMFOA (for negative deviation) Large/heavy/big gas particles (can use Mr to estimate)
133
Understand van der waals equation and explain its difference from ideal gas eqn

134
What do sign conventions for enthalpy reactions tell you? (Heat transfer, temperature change, stability?)
Negative: Exothermic, temperature rises, heat released, stability increases (energy level decreases) Positive: Endothermic, temperature falls, heat absorbed, stability decreases (energy level increases)
135
Characteristics of ∆H (always must be accompanied by? Is it affected by stoichiometric ratio and physical states? Do you flip the sign if you flip equation?)
Always accompanied by balanced chemical eqn **with state symbols** yeah affected by ratio Yeah flip sign
136
Apply equation to calculate heat evolved or absorbed in aq solution and dissolving a solid in water, and hence ∆H of reaction
Q = mc∆T =*p*vc∆T, (v here is the volume of the TOTAL liquid) ∆H = Q/amount of limiting reagent But then you needa use this value that you find to find like the different ∆H you need (eg neut, sol, etc.)
137
Describe calorimetric method, precautions and understand limitations
Add 2 solutions together, find max/min temp, use that to calculate the ∆H Precautions: cups must be good thermal insulators (eg styrofoam) as good thermal insulation and high specific heat capacity Limitations: does not take into consideration heat loss/heat gain from surroundings
138
Thermometric titration procedure (imp for planning also)
Procedure 1. Using a 100cm^3 measuring cylinder, measure v cm^3 of solution 1 and transfer into a 250cm^3 beaker placed in a styrofoam cup to minimise heat loss to surroundings. 2. Using an electronic weighing balance, weigh the mass of the weighing bottle (m1), weighing bottle and about 5.0g of the solid (m2). 3. Place thermometer in beaker with substance 1 and start stopwatch. Record temperature at 0 minute. At regular intervals of 1 minute, record the temperature of the solution. 4. At 4 minute mark, pour solution 2/solid into the same beaker and stir continuously with a glass rod. Do not attempt to take the temperature at this point (temp changes too rapidly to get a steady/accurate reading) 5. Continue to record temperature at regular intervals of every minute from 5-12 minute mark. 6. Reweigh empty weighing bottle (m3) and take m3-m1 to get mass of solid reacted. Graph plotting: 1. Plot a graph of temperature against time 2. Draw a best fit line for all the points before solid was added (4 min mark) and another best fit line for all the points after solid was added (4 min mark). Extrapolate both lines (in DOTTED lines) so they cross at t=4 min. 3. Determine ∆T by finding temperature difference between 2 graphs at 4 minute mark. Calc: 1. Q = vc*p*∆T 2. n= (m3-m1)/molar mass = x 3. ∆H = Q/x

140
What is the sign convention of standard enthalpy change of formation and what does it indicate wrt stability?
Can be positive or negative. Positive indicates that stability of system decreased (reactants more stable than products) but negative indicates that stability of system increased (products more stable than reactants).
141
Standard enthalpy change of combustion
Energy released when 1 mole of substance is completely burnt in excess oxygen under standard conditions of 298K and 1 bar.
142
Explain why standard enthalpy change of combustion has a fixed sign convention
Always negative. More energy released when strong covalent bonds within CO2 and H2O molecules are formed than energy absorbed from breaking of covalent bonds in reactant molecules because CO2 and H2O are very small molecules with high degree of orbital overlap (very effective) and hence very strong covalent bonds.

147
Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
Energy released when 1 mole of water is formed when an acid neutralises a base in an infinitely dilute aqueous solution under standard conditions of 298K and 1 bar.
148
Standard enthalpy change of neutralisation
Energy released when 1 mole of water is formed when an acid neutralises a base in an infinitely dilute aqueous solution under standard conditions of 298K and 1 bar.
149
Explain why standard enthalpy change of neutralisation has a fixed sign convention and a fixed value for strong acids and base neutralisation
Heat is always evolved due to formation of bonds between H+ and OH- to form H2O molecules. Always a fixed value as strong acids and bases undergo full dissociation hence all their neutralisation reactions can be simplified to the same equation: H+ + OH- —> H2O
150
Why standard enthalpy change of neutralisation of weak acids and bases is less exothermic than strong acids and bases?
Strong acids and bases, full dissociation. Weak acids and bases, only partial dissociation. Hence additional energy needed to be absorbed to ionise the weak acid/base before complete neutralisation can take place, hence less exothermic ∆H(Neut).
151

Factors affecting ionic bond strength
Ie factors affecting LE Quote formula of LE Charge and radius; since it affects magnitude of LE which affects bond strength And another one is crystal structure (In enthalpy notes); arrangement of ions affects attraction and repulsion between ion in the compound
155
Understand what dif magnitudes of LE represent (think abt mp/bp)
higher magnitude of LE = stronger ionic bonds = more energy needed to overcome stronger ionic bonds = higher mp/bp But also, Larger LE = products more stable
156
Bond energy
Energy absorbed to break 1 mole of covalent bonds between 2 atoms in a gaseous molecule.
157
Why bond energy must be wrt a fixed state
If in solid state, energy also absorbed for sublimination of the object, so it’s not reflective of the true energy to just break the bond.
158
Why bond energy has a fixed sign convention
Energy absorbed to break bonds
159
Limitations of bond energy
1. Average values, not specific to the bond for the specific molecule 2. Only for molecules in gaseous state

168
Why enthalpy change of hydration has a fixed sign convention
Formation of ion-dipole interactions releases a lot of energy (sufficient to overcome energy absorbed from breaking of H bonds between water molecules) Same type of ions NO interactions between them k!
169
Why enthalpy change of hydration has a fixed sign convention
Formation of ion-dipole interactions releases a lot of energy (sufficient to overcome energy absorbed from breaking of H bonds between water molecules and weak IMFOA between ions)
170
Ion-dipole interactions description
eFOA between ions and opposite partial charges. (Like btw cation and partial negative charge and anion and partial positive charge)
171
Factors affecting enthalpy change of hydration

174
Explain change in solubility of ionic salts of metals (hydroxides and sulfates) down the group
Hydroxides: solubility increases - H by hydroxide no change, but by cation less exothermic since radius increasing. - LE becomes less exothermic because radius increasing significantly since radius of OH- is so small. - Fall in magnitude of H much more significant than fall in magnitude of LE since r- is so small —> S becomes more exothermic —> solubility increases Sulfates: solubility decreases. - H directly proportional to charge density. (H by sulfate no change, but H by cation less exothermic because radius increasing; charge density directly proportional to charge/radius) - LE roughly constant because sulfate so much bigger than metal ion - S = H-LE —> S becomes more positive —> solubility decreases)
