Q

Energy must be supplied ….

A

To break existing bonds (endothermic reaction)

21
Q

Energy is released …

A

When new bonds are formed (exothermic reaction)

22
Q

What can known bond energies be used to calculate?

A

The overall energy change

23
Q

How to calculate the overall energy change

A

Energies needed to break bonds in reactants - the energy released when new bonds formed in products

24
Q

What is an electrochemical?

A

Basic system made up of 2 different electrodes in contact with an electrolyte

25
What does the chemical reactions between electrodes and electrolytes set up?
A charge difference between the electrodes
26
What affects charge difference or voltage of a cell?
Different metals - react differently with the same electrolyte
27
The bigger difference in reactivity of electrodes?
The bigger the voltage of cell
28
Why might the electrolyte used in a cell affect the size of the voltage?
Different ions in solution will react differently with the metal electrodes
29
What might happen over time to reacting particles?
Get used and turned into the products
30
What happens if any one of the reactants get used up?
The reaction can't happen and so no electricity can be produced and products can't be reversed so cell can't be recharged
31
How can a rechargeable cell be reveresed?
Connecting it to an external electric current
32
What is a fuel cell?
An electrical cell that's supplied with a fuel and oxygen and uses energy from reaction between them to produce electrical energy efficiently
33
What happens to the fuel when it enter the cell?
It becomes oxidised and sets up a potential difference within the cell?
34
Example of a fuel cell
Hydrogen oxygen fuel cell
35
What is the electrolyte often?
An acid
36
Hydrogen oxygen fuel cell - redox reaction
1. Hydrogen goes into the anode compartment and oxygen goes into the cathode compartment 2. At the anode, hydrogen loses electrons to produce H+ ions (oxidation0 3. H+ in electrolyte move to cathode 5. At cathode, oxygen gains electrons form cathode and reacts with H+ ions from acidic electrolyte to make water (reduction) 6. Electrons flow through an external circuit from anode to cathode - an electric current 7. Overall reaction is hydrogen plus oxygen to give water
37
What advantages do conventional fuels in vehicles have?
Finite supply
38
Examples of getting cleaner energy
Batteries | hyrdogen-oxygen fuel cells
39
Advantages of hydrogen oxygen fuel cell
- Don't have as many pollutants - Only by products are heat and water - Store more energy than batteries so less often recharged - Less expensive than fuel cells
40
Why are batteries more polluting to dispose of than fuel cells?
Made of highly toxic metal compounds
41
Disadvantages of hydrogen oxygen fuel cell
- Hydrogen is a gas so takes up more room than rechargeable battery - Hydrogen is explosive when mixed with air - Hydrogen fuel often made from hydrocarbons or by electrolysis of water that uses electricity
42
How is exothermic reaction shown?
A rise in temperature in surroundings
43
Advantages of fuel cells
Compact and lightweight Reliable Not very polluting High efficiency
44
Factors affecting voltage of cell (4)
Different metals Bigger difference in reactivity of metals Type of electrolyte Battery
45
Why might the difference in reactivity of metals affect the voltage?
Bigger voltage
46
Why might the battery affect the voltage?
It is created by connecting 2+ cells together in series. Voltages of cells are combined to get bigger voltage overall
47
What is the use of catalysts?
Increase reaction rates by lowering activation energy to increase chance that when particles collide they will have enough energy successfully react
48
Energy transfer experiment
1. Put 0.25 mol/dm3 of hydrochloric acid ands sodium hydroxide in separate beakers 2. Place beakers in water bath set to 25 until they are both at the same temperature 3. Add HCL followed by NaOH to a polystyrene cup with lid 4. Take temperature of mixture every 30 seconds or until highest result starts to drop 5. Repeat steps 1-4 using 0.5 mol/dm3 and then 1 mol/dm3 of hydrochloric acid
