#1
Front (Question)

Why is CF4 soluble in water?

Back (Answer)

Structure→Polarity→IMF→Energy • CF 4 and water have simple molecular structure • CF 4 is non-polar with id-id interactions between the molecules • Water is polar and hydrogen bonds exist between H2O molecules. • energy evolved when CF 4 molecules form id-id interactions with water molecules insufficient to overcome the hydrogen bonds between H2O molecules and the id-id interactions between the CF4 molecules

#2
Front (Question)

Why CH3SCH3 has a higher boiling point than CH3OCH3?

Back (Answer)

Structure→Polarity→IMF→Energy • Both have simple molecular structure and are polar with pd-pd interactions and id-id interactions between molecules • CH3SCH3 has a larger electron cloud than CH3OCH3 and electron cloud is polarised to a larger extent → stronger id-id interactions between molecules • more energy needed to overcome stronger id-id bond, higher bp

#3
Front (Question)

Why N2H4 has a higher boiling point than NH3?

Back (Answer)

• hydrazine (contains 2 N atom), able to form 2 intermolecular hydrogen bonds per molecule • ammonia can only form 1 intermolecular hydrogen bonds per molecule • **more energy **is required to break the more extensive intermolecular hydrogen bonding present in hydrazine MUST WRITE PER MOLECULE TO GET MARK!

#4
Front (Question)

What are the 3 assumptions of Ideal Gas?

Back (Answer)

• Ideal gas molecules take up negligible volume as compared to the volume of the container • Ideal gas molecules have negligible intermolecular forces of attraction • Collisions between ideal gas molecules are perfectly elastic

#5
Front (Question)

What are factors that deviation gases from ideal gas behaviour?

Back (Answer)

• larger electron cloud size, id-id not negligible • molecules are large, volume of molecule not negligible compared to the volume of container

#6
Front (Question)

How can gas to approach ideal behavior? sigma imptt!!!!!

Back (Answer)

• high temperature, gas particles have higher kinetic energy • gas particles have enough energy to overcome imf, imf negligible, approaches ideal behaviour. • low pressure, gas particles are further apart, imf less significant, imf neligible • molecular size of the gas particles to be negligible comapred to the volume of container, approaches ideal behaviour MUST STATE higher kinetic energy

#7
Front (Question)

why does NH3 deviate more from ideal gas than CH3?

Back (Answer)

• NH 3 molecules are held by stronger intermolecular hydrogen bond between the NH 3 molecules as compared to weaker instantaneous dipole–induced dipole (id-id) interactions between CH 4 molecules. • Intermolecular forces of attraction between NH 3 molecules are more significant and deviate more from ideal gas

#8
Front (Question)

How does id-id form in CO2?

Back (Answer)

• e- in random motion,→ uneven distribution of electrons in molecule → separation of charges and creates an instantaneous dipole in the CO2 molecule • instantaneous dipole induces formation of dipoles in the neighbouring unpolarised CO2 molecules • weak electrostatic forces of attraction (instantaneous dipole – induced dipole interactions) forms between two dipoles

#9
Front (Question)

How does pd-pd form in HCl?

Back (Answer)

• e- in random motion,→ uneven distribution of electrons in molecule → separation of charges and creates an instantaneous dipole in the CO2 molecule • instantaneous dipole induces formation of dipoles in the neighbouring unpolarised CO2 molecules • weak electrostatic forces of attraction (permanent dipole – permanent dipole interactions) forms between two dipoles

#10
Front (Question)

How does H2 Bond form in NH3?

Back (Answer)

• N atom more electronegative than H atom, attracts bonding e- in the N−H bond • N atom gains a partial negative charge, H atom acquires a partial positive charge • electrostatic attraction (hydrogen bond) between the e- deficient H atom of one NH3 molecule and the lone pair of e- on N atom on another NH 3 molecule
