Title: Help in AS Chemistry!
Post by: The SMA on May 21, 2010, 12:14:02 pm
i need help to answer M/J 2005 paper 2
on Q2 (d iii) ,  Q5 (a) and (c)

and on M/J 2004 paper 2
Q3 c ( the whole question c)

and there's something xtra i wanna ask from u guys,
can someone please explain to me what is permanent dipole, induced dipole
and dipole-dipole interactions?

Will really appreciate if someone could help me :)

and dipole-dipole interactions?

from the equation in 2)d) (i) u know that 2 mol of H2S reacts with 3 mol of 02
find the mr of H2S  (2 + 32.1 )will give 34.1 multiply by two ( as there are 2 moles ) to get 68.2
and u know that 1 mol = 24dm3 so 3 moles will = 72
so now u have the all the values soo...
if 68.2g of H2S reacts with 72 dm3 of O2
 so 8.65g will react with X
cross multiply ( 8.65 x 72 / 68.2 ) = 9.13 dm3


2nd question:

3)c) (i) u know that 1.20 dm3 of NH3 was dissolved so.....
if         1 mole = 24dm3
then     X mole = 1.2 dm3
cross multiply (1.2/24 = 0.5 mol )

c) (ii) equation: 2NH3 + H2SO4 -----> (NH4)2SO4

c) (iii) if 2 mol of ammonia is required to nuetralize 1 mol of sulphuric acid so....
from part (i) u know that we have 0.05 mol of ammonia, so to nuetralize it we need ( 0.05/ 2 = 0.025)

so now we have the moles and concentration, rearrange the formula ( mol = vol x conc ) to find the volume
so...
vol = mol/ conc ----->  0.025/0.5= 0.05 dm3, and we need the volume in cm3, so multiply by 1000
(0.05 x 1000 = 50cm3) so 50 cm3 is required to nuetralize 200 cm3 of aqueous ammonia


permanent dipole : is when you have a polar molecule with oppositely charged ends, and these ends attract other polar molecules, bonding them together. The polar molecules will always be slightly negative on one end and slightly positive on the other.

induced dipole: A dipole-induced dipole attraction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or in a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar species.

OR SIMPLY: when a non-polar molecule has it's electron density shifted by a charged molecule, i.e., if a positively charged species is brought near a species with an evenly distributed charge, the electrons go towards the side where the positive species is, and away from the opposite side, creating an artificial dipole

dipole-dipole interaction: this is just the weak van der waal's forces of attraction


hope this helped ;)

Thank you very much for the scan, it is very helpful! i finally understand now :)

oh n i what i meant for the cycle was for Q2 which you already did, sorry for the mistake.
I just want the explainnation on how to answer the Q3 (b ii).

ok so for Q.3)b)ii), ur are suppose to answer it based on ur knowledge of fertilisers from O LEVEL BIOLOGY !!! :S
so from what i know:

if excess ammonium nitrate gets washed into a stream or river, it will cause the water plants to grow uncontrolabley ( eutrophication ), causing them to block sun light entering the river, causing many underwater plants to die ( no photosynethesis ). Furthermore it causes the plants to use all its resources ( food ) for growth and so the plant eventually dies as there is no resources left! this causes the decomposers to act on the dead plants, which requires oxygen, soo its being used up, so other water animals dont have enough oxygen to survive and they die.

hope this helped :)

guys i need help on answering On
1) O/N 2004 p2, Q1d (i) (ii), Q 2b, Q 4f (ii)
2) O/N 2008 p2, Q2 (ii)



1) nov 04
1) d)i) \delta H reaction= Energy for bonds breaking-energy for bonds making
ii) bond energy
 HI=299kj/mol
H2=436kj/mol
I2=151kj/mol

Energy for bond breaking= 2 X energy to break HI bond= 2X 299=598 kj
Energy  for bond making = bond energy of H2 + bond energy of I2= 436+151=587kj
\delta H= bond breaking-bond making= 598-587=+11kj

2) b) i) Al2O3 has a high melting point because it's an ionic structure held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions of Al3+ and O2-

ii) SO3 consists of small molecules held together by weak Van der Waals forces. Hence low mp

ii) SiO2 is a giant covalent molecule. it has strong covalent bonds and requires high energy to break them. P4O10 is a simple molecular compound with weak Van Der Waals forces between the molecules.

4) f) ii) apparently a mistake in the ms :/ Very rarely happens but it is definitely a mistake...I've asked my teachers abt it

structure is

   H  H
   |  |
R-C-C -CH2OCOCH3
   |   |
CH3  Br

2) O/N 2008 p2, Q2 (ii),

2c)ii)
 
C+ O2--->CO2     -395kj/mol
H2+ 1/2 O2--->H2O   -286kj/mol

CH2=C=O + 2O2---> 2CO2+ H2O    -1028kj/mol

the reaction's whose enthalpy we want is a combination of the reactions above...figure using hess' law
2C+ H2+ 1/2 O2---> C2H2

\delta H = 2X-395+ (-286) - (-1028)
=-48kj/mol

hey, i had the same question but where did the c=c go , is it still there and isnt there supposed to be another hydrogen atom on the 2nd carbon from the left?

i modified my post.

HBr adds across the double bond. It's an addition reaction

there is a que in the past papers of organic  hex-3-enol is oxidised usind hot KMnO4 what will the products be plz reply 
Title: Re: Help in AS Chemistry!
Post by: Meticulous on May 30, 2010, 12:02:14 pm
No product. Tertiary alcohols do not oxidize.
Title: Re: Help in AS Chemistry!

no its a primary alcoho the structure is

CH3CH2CH=CHCH2CH2OH

the formula of the allyl alcohol is CH2=CHCH2OH

when this allyl alcohol is heated under reflux with acidified MnO4-  the double bond breaks

so you will have   CH2O   and     COHCH2OH

since it is heated under reflux the products are further oxidised

CH2O  ------->    2CO2  + 2H2O




COHCH2OH  -------->       HO2CCO2H
