Unit 4 Revision Notes

Topic 4.1 Energetics (II) a “understand the definition of enthalpy of atomisation, ∆ H o at, enthalpy of hydration, ∆ H o hyd and lattice enthalpy, ∆ H o lat” Enthalpy of atomisation, ∆ H o at • Enthalpy change for the formation of one mole of gaseous atoms from its element in its standard state ○ Example: ½ Cl2 (g) → Cl (g) ∆ H o at = +121.1 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o at values are all endothermic Enthalpy of hydration, H o hyd • Enthalpy change for the reaction of 1 mole of gaseous ions with water ○ Example: Mg2+ (g) + (aq) → Mg2+ (aq) ∆ H o hyd = -1920 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o hyd values are all exothermic Lattice enthalpy, H o lat (or UL.E.) • Enthalpy change when one mole of an ionic solid is formed from its constituent gaseous ions ○ Example: Na+ (g) + Cl- (g) → Na+Cl-(s) ∆ H o lat = -776 kJ mol1

○ Note: ∆ H o lat values are all exothermic From Units 1 and 2 and needed in Unit 4: Standard enthalpy of formation, ∆ H o f • Enthalpy change when one mole of a compound is formed from its elements in their standard states under standard conditions (25oC and 1 atmosphere pressure) ○ Example: Na (s) + ½ Cl2 (g) → NaCl (s) ∆ H o f = -411 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o f values are all exothermic First ionisation enthalpy, ∆ H o I.E. (1) • Enthalpy change when one mole of electrons is removed from one mole of gaseous atoms of an element ○ Example:Na (g)  Na+ (g) +eH o I.E. (1) = +500 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: H o I.E. (1) values are all endothermic Second ionisation enthalpy, H o I.E. (2) • Enthalpy change when one mole of electrons is removed from one mole of singly positive gaseous ions of an element ○ Example: Mg+ (g)  Mg2+ (g) +e- ∆ H o I.E. (2) = +1451 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o I.E. (2) values are always more endothermic than those for ∆ Ho I.E. (1) (Why?)

First electron affinity, H o E.A. (1) • First electron affinity is the enthalpy change for the addition of 1 mole of electrons to one mole of gaseous atoms of an element to form one mole of singly charged anions ○ Example: e- + Cl (g)  Cl- (g) ∆ H o E.A. (1) = -349 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o E.A. (1) values are all exothermic Second electron affinity, ∆ H o E.A.(2) • Second electron affinity is the enthalpy change for the addition of 1 mole of electrons to one mole of singly charged anions of an element to form one mole of doubly charged anions ○ Example: e- + O- (g) → O2- (g) ∆ H o E.A. (2) = +798 kJ mol-1 ○ Note: ∆ H o E.A. (2) values are all endothermic (Why?) b “construct a Born-Haber cycle and carry out associated calculations” The Born-Haber cycle is really an application of Hess’ Law • H o f = [∆ H o at (metal) + ∆ H o I.E. (metal (g)) + ∆ H o at (non-metal) + ∆ H o E.A. (non-metal(g))] + ∆ H o latt •

d “understand the factors that influence the value of lattice enthalpy” •

Lattice enthalpy depends on: • The sum of the ionic radii ○ the lattice enthalpy will be smaller if this sum is large • The charge of the ions ○ the lattice enthalpy will be larger if the cation and /or the anion have a large charge on them

c “understand that values of lattice enthalpies calculated from the theoretical model may differ from those calculated from a purely ionic model” Theoretical (calculated) lattice enthalpy values are based on a purely ionic model • completely spherical ions • complete transfer of electrons Experimental lattice enthalpy values determined using Born-Haber cycle calculations – a practical route to the value For • • •

NaCl theoretical lattice enthalpy value = -770 kJ mole-1 experimental lattice enthalpy value = -776 kJ mole-1 good agreement between theoretical and experimental values ○ ionic model for NaCl is a good one ○ i.e. a purely ionic model - completely spherical ions and complete electron transfer

For • • •

CdI2 theoretical lattice enthalpy value = -2346 kJ mole-1 experimental lattice enthalpy value = -2050 kJ mole-1 no real agreement between theoretical and experimental values ○ ionic model for CdI2 is a not a good one ○ i.e. there is quite a degree of covalent character in CdI2 and it is not purely ionic ○ the ions are not spherical and there is incomplete transfer of electrons (refer to Unit 1.3 b (ii) – “polarising power of cations and polarisability of anions”)

e “understand the part played by lattice enthalpy and enthalpy of hydration in rationalising the variation in solubilities of the hydroxides and sulphates of Group 2.” Enthalpy of hydration, H o hyd •

always exothermic ○ in positive ions the attraction is between the ion and the negative end of the water dipole (δ - on O) ○ in negative ions the attraction is between the ion and the positive end of the water dipole (δ + on H) • the larger the charge on the ion the larger ∆ H o hyd (i.e. it will be more exothermic) • the larger the size of the ion the smaller ∆ H o hyd (i.e. it will be less exothermic) So as we go down a group the value of ∆ H o hyd will decrease (i.e. it will be less exothermic) 33691600

The solubility of a substance is governed by the enthalpy change of solution, ∆ H osoln. The more exothermic the ∆ H o soln value the more likely it will be for the substance to dissolve. ∆ H o soln MX (s) + M+ (aq) + Cl(aq) (aq) ∆ H o hyd [M+(g)] + ∆ H o hyd [Cl- g)]

∆ H o soln = (-∆ H o latt) + (H o hyd [M+(g)] + ∆ H o hyd [Cl-

Sulphates of Group 2: • Sulphate ion large - so sum of ionic radii does not change very much as cation size increases • Contribution from ∆ H o latt similar for Group 2 sulphates • H o hyd of the cations gets smaller as the ion size increases (contribution from the sulphate ion the same in all cases) • Solubility of the sulphate decreases as cation size increases because lattice enthalpy is not exceeded so much by the hydration enthalpy (lattice enthalpy is not compensated for by hydration enthalpy) Hydroxides of Group 2: • Hydroxide ion is small – so sum of ionic radii of the cation and anion is affected significantly by the cation size • Lattice enthalpies of the hydroxides decrease as the cation gets larger as the cation–anion distance is not affected by a large anion o • ∆ H latt decreases more rapidly than ∆ H o hyd

This increasing trend is caused by a decrease in ionisation energy as the cation radius decreases. This makes it energetically more favourable for the elements lower down the group to form ionic compounds

•

Ionic character of chlorides increases and there is no significant hydrolysis in PbCl2.

•

Ionic character of oxides increases and the trend is from neutral/acidic to amphoteric/basic ○ CO is a neutral oxide (it so weakly acidic that it is thought of as a neutral oxide) CO2 is an acidic oxide CO2 + NaOH → Na2CO3

33691600

○

SiO2 is an acidic oxide but it needs to react with fused NaOH:

○

PbO is an amphoteric oxide:

Harrow Chemistry

SiO2 (s) + 2NaOH (l) → Na2SiO3 (s) + H2O (l)

As a base: PbO + 2HCl → PbCl2 + H2O As an acid: PbO + 2NaOH + H2O → Na2Pb(OH)4

ii “recall that the +2 oxidation state in Group 4 becomes more stable than the +4 oxidation state as the atomic number increases and apply this to the chemistry of tin and lead.” The stability of the +2 oxidation increases down the group; the stability of the +4 oxidation state increases up the group. The smaller elements of group 4 show a wide range of oxidation states in their compounds: C: Sn: Pb

+4 in CO2, +2 in CO, -4 in CH4 +4 and +2 +4 and +2

[+4 more stable than +2 for tin] [+ 2 more stable than +4 for lead]

In carbon the 4 outer electrons are in the second shell and are closely held by the nucleus ∴ compounds of carbon are covalently bonded and carbon is usually +4 in its compounds. In lead the outer electron configuration is 6s26p2. The 6s2 electrons are absorbed into the inner core and are thus held more tightly (in general s electrons are held more tightly); the 6p electrons are thus less firmly held and can be removed more easily.

We use some of the chemistry of tin and lead to illustrate the oxidation state stability trend in group 4. Tin (II) is reducing and becomes tin (IV) which is the preferred oxidation state of tin in its compounds: Sn2+ + Cl2  Sn4+ + 2Cl33691600

13

Lead (IV) is oxidising and becomes lead (II) which is the preferred state of lead in its compounds: PbO2 + 4HCl → PbCl2 + Cl2 + 2H2O iii

“recall and explain the structure of carbon tetrachloride” There are eight electrons around the central carbon atom. Thus 4 pairs of electrons all of which are bonding pairs. The 4 electron pairs arrange themselves around the central atom and repel each other arranging themselves as far apart as possible to minimise the repulsion between them. Thus CCl4 is tetrahedral and the bond angle is 109.5o.

iv “recall and explain the behaviour of carbon tetrachloride with water and contrast this behaviour with that of silicon tetrachloride with water”

• •

•

•

CCl4 is resistant to hydrolysis and does not react at all with water: very strong C-Cl bond which has to be broken before reaction can occur there are no vacant orbitals available for the coordination of the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom of the water molecule. SiCl4 reacts very rapidly with water at room temperature and undergoes a hydrolysis reaction there are empty energetically accessible 3d orbitals on Si (in SiCl4) [no energetically accessible orbitals available in C (in CCl4)] • the lone pair of electrons on the oxygen atom of the water molecule can coordinate into these vacant energetically accessible 3d orbitals before the Si-Cl bond is broken the Ea value is much lower in SiCl4 compared to that for CCl4 and thus the SiCl4 hydrolyses very readily with water. 33691600

Topic 4.3: Chemical equilibria II From Unit 2 and needed in Unit 4: Reactions at equilibrium • the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the reverse reaction. • the concentrations of all the substances at equilibrium are constant (not equal) • the composition at equilibrium can be approached from the reactants or products Two types of equilibrium • homogenous - all of the substances are in the same phase. ○ e.g. HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) ⇌ NaCl (aq) + H2O(l) •

○

e.g. H2 (g) + I2 (g) ⇌ 2HI (g) heterogeneous - the substances are in different phases. ○ e.g. CaCO3 (s) ⇌ CO2 (g) +CaO (s)

Position of equilibrium • many reactions do not go to completion • reactions reach a state of dynamic equilibrium • the time taken to attain/reach equilibrium is variable • the position of equilibrium is a measure of the extent of a reaction once equilibrium has been established • if a reaction uses more than 50% of the reactants before reaching equilibrium we say that the “position of equilibrium lies to the right” • if a reaction uses more than 50% of the reactants before reaching equilibrium we say that the “position of equilibrium lies to the left” • Note: it must not be assumed that equilibrium has been established when there are 50% of reactants and 50% of products a “define the terms partial pressure and concentration” The partial pressure of a gas in a mixture of gases in a container is the pressure that it alone would exert at a given temperature.

“recall that the presence of a catalyst does not affect the position of equilibrium”

Catalysts increase the rate of reaction. In an equilibrium: • catalysts increase the rate of the forward reaction, with a subsequent increase in the rate of the forward reaction. • thus the rate at which equilibrium is achieved is faster in the presence of a catalyst. • note: the presence of a catalyst does not affect the equilibrium composition, i.e. has no effect on Kc. f “understand that changes in temperature result in a change in the value of Kc and Kp and that the position of equilibrium will change with change in temperature.” Temperature If the reaction (convention - left to right) is exothermic, the value of Kc (or Kp) will decrease if the equilibrium temperature is increased. This means that the equilibrium position moves to the left and the yield of product falls at higher temperatures. The value of Kc (or Kp) will increase if the temperature is decreased. This means that the equilibrium position moves to the right and the yield of product increases at lower temperatures. “A decrease in temperature favours the exothermic direction of a reaction”. If the reaction (convention - left to right) is endothermic, the value of Kc (or Kp) will increase if the equilibrium temperature is increased. This means that the equilibrium position moves to the right and the yield of product rises at higher temperatures. 33691600

Concentration - using Kc Consider the following equilibrium: aA(aq) + bB(aq) ⇌ cC(aq) + dD(aq) K c= [C]c[D]d [A]a[B]b Kc is fixed at a particular temperature so if [A] and/or [B] are increased then [C] and [D] have to increase in order for the constant value of Kc to be maintained. Pressure An increase in pressure results in a decrease in volume. This means that in an equilibrium the system with the smallest volume will oppose the increase in pressure.

Topic 4.4: Acid-base equilibria a “recall the Brønsted-Lowry theory and use it to identify acid base behaviour, and identify acid base conjugate pairs and relate them by means of suitable equations” Brønsted-Lowry theory An acid is a proton donor: E.g. HCl (aq) +H2O (l) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) In the forward reaction the HCl is acting as an acid. A base is a proton acceptor: E.g. NH3 (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ NH4+ (aq) + OH- (aq) In the forward reaction the NH3 is acting as a base. Acid-base conjugate pairs E.g. HCl (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) Acid 1 Base 2 Acid 2 Base 1 Conjugate base 1 (Cl- ) is related to acid 1 (HCl) because it has been formed by the loss of a proton. Conjugate acid 2 (H3O+) is related to base 2 (H2O) because it has been formed by the gain of a proton.  More examples of acid – base pairs. Identify the acid-base conjugate pairs in these equilibria. H2SO4 + H2O ⇌ H3O+ + HSO4HNO3 + H2SO4 ⇌ H2NO3+ + HSO4HClO4 + H2O ⇌ H3O++ ClO4-

Strong and weak acids Strong acids - fully ionised in aqueous solution. E.g. HCl (aq) + H2O (l)  H3O+ (aq) + Cl- (aq) The equilibrium lies to the right and the [H3O+] is very high. Strong acids have weak conjugate bases. Weak acids - only partially ionised in aqueous solution. E.g. CH3COOH (aq) + H2O (l) ⇌ CH3COO- (aq) + H3O+ (aq) The equilibrium lies to the left and the [H3O+] is very low. CH3COO- is the strong conjugate base of the weak acid CH3COOH. Weak acids have strong conjugate bases. Strong and weak alkalis Strong alkalis - fully ionised in aqueous solution. E.g. NaOH (aq)  Na+ (aq) + OH- (aq) The equilibrium lies to the right and the [OH-] is very high. Strong alkalis have weak conjugate acids. Weak alkalis - only partially ionised in aqueous solution. E.g. NH4OH (aq) ⇌ NH4+ (aq)+OH- (aq) The equilibrium lies to the left and the [OH-] is very low. NH4+ is the strong conjugate acid of the weak base NH4OH. Weak alkalis have strong conjugate acids.

For an alkali solution [H+] [OH-] ∴ the salt is acidic (pH < 7 at 25OC) CH3COOH vs NaOH: resulting salt CH3COONa (aq) - the salt of a weak acid and a strong alkali. Ions present in aqueous solution: Na+ OH-

(CH3COONa (aq)) (H2O)

Na+ will not remove OH- as NaOH as NaOH is a strong electrolyte ∴ fully ionised in aqueous solution. CH3COO- will remove H+ as CH3COO- is the strong conjugate base of a weak acid ∴ removes H+ as unionised CH3COOH. So [H+] < [OH-] ∴ the salt is alkaline (pH > 7 at 25OC). Acid - base indicators 33691600

An acid-base indicator is (usually) a weak acid whose conjugate base is a different colour from the acid itself. Use HIn as a general formula for an indicator: HIn ⇌ H+ + InColour A

Colour B

During a titration: (1) Acid (e.g. HCl) + indicator in conical flask colour A predominates + as H ions from HCl cause indicator equilibrium to shift to the left. Alkali (e.g.NaOH) added from a burette removes H+ ions from HCl (H+ + OH-  H2O) until no more H+ ions from acid left. The next drop of alkali must then remove H+ ions from the indicator equilibrium thus causing the equilibrium to shift to the right ∴ colour B predominates. (2) Alkali (e.g. NaOH) + indicator in conical flask colour B predominates as OH- ions from NaOH cause indicator equilibrium to shift to the right because they remove H+ ions as water (H+ + OH-  H2O). Acid (HCl) added from a burette removes OH- ions from NaOH as water until no more OH ions from alkali left. The next drop of acid must then increase the H+ ions in the indicator equilibrium thus causing the equilibrium to shift to the left  colour A predominates. Acid - base indicators – quantitative approach HIn ⇌ H+ + InColour A

Colour B

KInd = [H+] X [In-] [HIn] [H+] = KInd X [HIn] [In-] When [Hin] = [In-] [H+] =KInd pH = pKInd So, the solution changes colour when its pH = pKInd. Choice of indicators 3 common indicators: 33691600

We can obtain the pKa for the weak acid from the weak acid – strong alkali curve: Find the volume of alkali needed for equivalence (e.g. 25 cm3) and divide by 2 (∴ 12.5cm3) and then extrapolate to the pH value (e.g. 4.7)

Buffer solutions - definition/constituents A buffer solution is one which tends to resist changes in pH when small amounts of acid or alkali are added to it. Constituents of a buffer Weak acid/(usually sodium salt of) its conjugate base e.g. CH3COOH/CH3COO-Na+ Weak base/(salt of) its conjugate base

e.g. NH4OH/NH4+Cl-

Buffer solutions - how do they work? Buffer reactions in (aqueous solution): CH3COO-Na+ → CH3COO- + Na+ (I) CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO- + H+ (II) (I) - CH3COO-Na+ salt of a gp. I metal  fully ionised in aqueous solution. (II) - Equilibrium lies very much to the left because (a) CH3COOH is a weak acid and (b) its ionisation is further suppressed by the CH3COO- ions from (I) which increases the [CH3COO-] in (II) and causes the equilibrium to shift to the left If a small amount of acid ( e.g. H+ from HCl) is added to the buffer: Ethanoate ions from (I) remove the added H+ ions as unionised CH3COOH: CH3COO- + H+ ⇌ CH3COOH Thus maintaining the almost “constant” value of [H+]. If a small amount of alkali (e.g. OH- from NaOH) is added to the buffer: Hydrogen ions from (II) remove the added OH- ions as unionised water: OH- + H+ ⇌ H2O As the H+ ions are removed by the added OH- the equilibrium (II) shifts to the right to replace the H+ removed. Thus maintaining the almost “constant” value of [H+]. The region on the CH3COOH vs NaOH pH curve where buffering takes place: You need to look at the “straightest” horizontal portion of this curve to find this.

Buffer solutions – calculations Calculate the pH of a buffer solution containing 100 cm3 of 0.1 mole dm-3 CH3COOH and 100 cm3 of 0.2 mole dm-3 of CH3COONa. Ka = 1.8 X 10-5 mole dm-3. Buffer reactions: CH3COO-Na+  CH3COO- + Na+ (I) CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO- + H+ (II) Ka=[CH3COO-][H+] (for the equilibrium in (II)) [CH3COOH] In a buffer such as the one above (CH3COOH/CH3COO-Na+), CH3COO-Na+  CH3COO- + Na+ (I) CH3COOH ⇌ CH3COO- + H+ (II) [CH3COO-] comes entirely from reaction (I) as the salt is completely ionised and the contribution from (II) is negligible because CH3COOH is a weak acid and does not ionise readily and thus [CH3COO-] = [SALT]. As a further consequence of the latter, [CH3COOH] is the concentration of the acid i.e. [CH3COOH] = [ACID]. Ka= [SALT][H+] [ACID]  [H+] = Ka X [ACID] [SALT]  [H+] = 1.8 X 10-5 x (0.1/2) (0.2/2)

Enthalpy considerations H+(aq) + OH- (aq) ⇌ H2O (l) ∆ HN o =-57.1 kJ mole-1. [For example, HCl + NaOH] This is the value obtained for the neutralisation of a strong acid by a strong alkali. In both cases the electrolytes are fully ionised in aqueous solution. Thus, no energy is needed to ionise the acid or alkali. CH3COOH (aq) + NaOH (aq) → CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) kJ mole-1.

HN o = -53.2

Here we have the reaction between a weak acid and a strong alkali. So some energy is needed to ionise the acid (endothermic process) i.e. energy is absorbed in order to ionise the weak acid and this is why there is a discrepancy between the two values -57.1 kJ mole-1 vs. -53.2 kJ mole-1. Now compare these values with the following: NH4OH (aq) + HCN (aq) → NH4CN (aq) + H2O (l) 1 .

∆ HN o = -8.4 kJ mole-

Topic 4.5: Organic chemistry II (acids, esters, carbonyl compounds, acid chlorides, nitrogen compounds and further halogenocompounds) From Unit 2 and needed in Unit 4: Questions set on this topic may require the application of knowledge covered in unit 2; specifically the rules for nomenclature and the ideas of isomerism, bond polarity, bond enthalpy and reaction types, including reagents and conditions. a

Further ideas in organic chemistry

i “apply the concept of functional groups to the range of organic compounds found in units 2 and 4” ii ii “recognise and predict the existence of structural isomers within the types of organic compound found in Units 2 and 4” iii

“recognise stereoisomerism as geometrical (cis-trans) or optical”

iv “explain the existence of geometrical (cis-trans) isomerism resulting from restricted rotation about a carbon-carbon double bond” v “understand the existence of optical isomerism resulting from a chiral centre in molecules with a single asymmetric carbon atom, and understand optical isomers as object and non-superimposable mirror images” vi “recall optical activity as the ability of a single optical isomer to rotate the plane of polarisation of plane polarised monochromatic light and understand the nature of a racemic mixture” Isomerism Really developed through the examples in the Organic Chemistry programme. Practise as many examples as you can. However, it may be useful to be aware some of the important aspects of isomerism. Isomerism is where two or more compounds have the same molecular formula but have different spatial arrangements of their atoms and differ in some of their physical properties and, in some cases, chemical properties.

33691600

Harrow Chemistry

Two types of isomerism: Structural: Same molecular formula, different structural formula. Chain:

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2CH3 Butane

CH3CH(CH3)CH3 2-methylpropane

Position:

e.g.

CH3CH2CH2OH Propan-1-ol

CH3CH(OH)CH3 Propan-2-ol

e.g.

CH3COCH3 Propanone

Functional group:

CH3CH2CHO Propanal

Stereoisomerism: Same molecular formula, different spatial arrangement of atoms. Geometric: Rotation around C-C restricted because of presence of >C=C< bond and Π -orbital e.g. cis but-2-ene and trans but-2-ene.

Optical: Two isomers having the same molecular and structural formulae but they are non-superimposable object and mirror images of each other. They only differ from each other in the way in which they rotate the plane of plane polarised light. You can tell whether a compound will exhibit optical activity if it possesses an asymmetric carbon atom (4 different groups around a single carbon atom). Such a molecule is said to be chiral - it has an isomer which is a mirror image of itself, the two being nonsuperimposable. E.g. butan-2-ol, CH3CH(OH)CH2CH3 has two optical isomers. Asymmetric carbon atom

The two isomers are: An equimolar mixture of the two optical isomers has no effect on the plane of planepolarised light as the rotational effect of one isomer is cancelled out by the other. Such a mixture is called a 33691600
