21
Q

Explain the effect of temperature on Equilibrium constants.

A

By increasing the temperature there is more energy to be used up and so the endothermic enthalpy change reaction increases. This increases the concentration of one of the denominators and products causing the constant to change.

22
Q

How do you explain the equilibrium shifts in an endothermic reaction?

A

When temperature increases the equilibrium constant also increases. This means to return the ratio of reactants to products to the new constant. To do this the concentration/pressure of the products(numerator) must increase and reactants(denominator) must decrease.

Q

What effect does concentration and pressure have on the equilibrium constant?

A

They do not affect it as it stays a constant. Instead when there are changes in concentration or pressure the equilibrium shifts to return the ratio to that of the equilibrium constant.

Q

How do you prepare a buffer solution?

A

With a weak acid and one of its salts and when dissolved the salt will provide the conjugate base.

36
Q

How does the conjugate base in a buffer act?

A

When the concentration of hydrogen ions increases they react with the conjugate base causing the equilibrium position of shift in the opposite direction.

37
Q

How does a weak acid removes added alkali in a buffer?

A

The OH- ions react with the little H+ ions and so HA dissociated to replace the reacted ions.

38

43
Q

What is an end point of a titration?

A

When the HA and A- concentrations are equal and the colour is between two extreme colours.

44
Q

45
Q

What is meant by lattice enthalpy?

A

Measure of the strength of ionic bonding in a giant ionic lattice.
It is also the enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of an ionic compound from its gaseous ions under standard conditions.

46
Q

What is meant by the standard enthalpy of formation?

A

The enthalpy change that takes place when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions.

47
Q

Standard enthalpy change of atomisation?

A

The enthalpy change that accompanies the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from its elements under standard conditions.

Q

What is meant by the first ionisation energy?

A

The energy required to remove an electron from every atom in one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous ions.

49
Q

What is meant by the first electron affinity?

A

The enthalpy change when an electron is added to every atom in a mole of gaseous atoms to form a mole of gaseous ions.

50
Q

What is interesting about successive electron affinities?

A

The first one is exothermic but the second one is endothermic. This is because a lot energy is required to add an electron to a repelling 1 - ion.

51
Q

What is the standard enthalpy change of solution?

A

The enthalpy change when one mole of solute dissolves in a solvent.

52
Q

What is the standard enthalpy change of hydration?

A

The enthalpy change that accompanies the dissolving of gaseous ions in water to form one mole of aqueous ions.

53
Q

What factors affect lattice enthalpy?

A

Increasing ionic radius makes the lattice enthalpy less negative as attraction between ions decreases so less energy is required to break the ionic bonds.
Increasing ionic charge makes the lattice enthalpy more negative as the attraction is higher and more energy is required to break the ionic binds.

54
Q

What factors affect enthalpy change of hydration?

A

Higher ionic radius makes the enthalpy change less negative as the attraction between ions is lower and so less energy is required to dissolve.
Ionic charge rising leads to a more negative enthalpy change of hydration as the attraction of ions is larger and more energy is required to dissolve.

55
Q

How can you predict the solubility of an ionic compound?

A

If the sum of hydration enthalpies is higher than the lattice enthalpy it should dissolve.

56
Q

What is entropy?

A

Entropy is a measure of disorder and randomness of the dispersal of energy.

57
Q

What are the units of entropy?

A

JK-1mol-1

58
Q

How does the amount of gaseous moles affect entropy?

A

The more gaseous moles the higher the entropy as there are more particles and more ways to disperse energy thus increasing the disorder.

59
Q

What is the Gibbs free energy equation and what does it show?

A

G = H - TS
If it is negative the reaction should be feasible to occur.
