#1
Front (Question)

What is an endothermic reaction?

Back (Answer)

A reaction that takes in energy and cools and surroundings - the overall energy change is positive

#2
Front (Question)

What is a chemical bond?

Back (Answer)

It is an electrical attraction between atoms or ions and therefore requires energy in order for the bond to break in order to overcome the attractive forces

#3
Front (Question)

What is bond enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

It is the quantity of energy needed to break a particular bond in a molecule, also called bond dissociation enthalpy

#4
Front (Question)

What is average bond enthalpy?

Back (Answer)

The average quantity of energy needed to break a particular bond

#5
Front (Question)

Does a higher bond enthalpy mean a shorter bond length?

Back (Answer)

Yes, it means more attraction between nuclei and the electrons so greater attractive forces. Greater attractive forces mean a smaller bond length because it takes longer for repulsive forces to balance it. The shorter bond length means a larger bond enthalpy because there is greater attractive forces to overcome

#6
Front (Question)

Is bond breaking or bond making exothermic?

Back (Answer)

Bond making is exothermic

#7
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy change for a reaction?

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when molar quantities of reactants as stated in the equation react together under standard conditions.

#8
Front (Question)

What are the standard conditions for standard enthalpy change?

Back (Answer)

1 atm (pressure) 298K (temperature) All the substances in their standard states.

#9
Front (Question)

What is the equation for measuring enthalpy changes?

Back (Answer)

Energy transferred = specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature

#10
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy change of combustion?

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change that occurs when one mole of a substance is burnt completely in oxygen under standard conditions in standard states.

#11
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy change of formation?

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions in standard states.

#12
Front (Question)

What is the standard enthalpy change of neutralisation?

Back (Answer)

The enthalpy change when one mole of hydrogen ions react with one mole of hydroxide ions to form one mole of water under standard conditions and in solutions containing 1moldm^-3.

#13
Front (Question)

What is an exothermic reaction?

Back (Answer)

A reaction that gives out energy and heats the surroundings - an overall negative energy change

#14
Front (Question)

Give at least 3 disadvantages of Biofuels

Back (Answer)

Loss of Biodiversity Non-food crops make food scarce / more expensive Deforestation Depletion of soil nutrients

#15
Front (Question)

Give advantages of biodiesel over fossil fuel diesel

Back (Answer)

Can be made from waste vegetable oil Carbon neutral (excluding energy for harvesting, processing and distributing the fuel) It is biodegradable No sulphur (so no sulphur dioxide/acid rain) Less particulates Less Carbon Monoxide Less unburned hydrocarbon

#16
Front (Question)

Give advantages of using hydrogen as a fuel

Back (Answer)

Renewable via hydrolysis of water Can be sent down natural gas pipelines Can be used in internal combustion engine or in fuel cells When burnt, only forms water

#17
Front (Question)

Give disadvantages of using hydrogen as a fuel

Back (Answer)

Electrolysis might use fossil fuel electricity source Less energy dense than petrol and diesel Sometimes produced from methane (fossil fuel source) Can produce NOx in internal combustion engine (acid rain)

#18
Front (Question)

Convert the following: 1) cm^3 to m^3 2) dm^3 to m^3 3) °C to K 4) kPa to Pa

Back (Answer)

1) x10^-6 2) x10^-3 3) +273 4) x10^3

#19
Front (Question)

How many moles of gas occupy 3027 cm^3 at 25°C and 400kPa?

Back (Answer)

1) convert units: 3027cm^3 = 0.003027 m^3 25°C = 298K 400kPa = 400000 Pa 2) rearrange pV=nRT to n = pV/RT 3) substitute in values: 400000x0. 003027 / 8.314x298 = 0.4889….. moles n = 0.488 moles

#20
Front (Question)

what is the volume of 1 mole of gas at 200 kPa and 23 °C

Back (Answer)

1) convert units: 200kPa = 200000 Pa 23°C = 296 K 2) rearrange pV=nRT V= nRT/p 3) substitute in values: 8. 31x1x296/200000 = 0.1231… V= 0.0123 M^3

#21
Front (Question)

Define Hess’ Law

Back (Answer)

As long as the starting and finishing points are the same, the enthalpy change will always be the same, irrespective of how you get from start to finish.

#22
Front (Question)

What is an aromatic compound?

Back (Answer)

Compounds that contain one or more benzene rings.

#23
Front (Question)

What is an aliphatic compound?

Back (Answer)

Compounds that do not contain any benzene rings.

#24
Front (Question)

What is a functional group?

Back (Answer)

Modifiers that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of molecules.
