Chapter 1 (AS-Level)Atomic Structure
Discovering the electron
A. Study of Cathode raysAt normal pressures, gases are poor conductors, but
at lower pressure they become better conductors of
electricity. Scientists studied the effects of passing
electricity through gases at low pressures.
A scientist named William Crookes saw that the glass
of the containing vessel opposite the cathodeglowed when the voltage applied was high.
A solid object placed between the cathode and the
glass causes a shadow. They proposed that the glow
was caused by rays coming from the cathode, called
cathode rays.
There was some argument about whether the rays
are waves or particles. The most important evidenceis that they are deflected by magnetic fields, which is
best explained by assuming that these are electrically
charged particles.
The direction of deflection, which is towards the positive pole shows that they are negatively
charged.
B. J.J. Thomsons e/m experiment
J.J. Thomson measured the deflection of a narrow beam of cathode rays in both magnetic andelectrical fields. His results allowed him to calculate the charge-to-mass ratio (e/m) of the particles.
Their charge-to-mass ratio was found to be exactly the same, whatever gas or types of electrodes
were used in the experiment.
The cathode ray particles had a very small mass, 1/2000 of a hydrogen atom. He decided to call
them the electrons.
The name was suggested by George Johnstone Stoney for the units of electricity.

C. Millikans Oil drop experimentThe electron charge was first measured by the American Physicist Robert Millikan using his Oil
drop experiment.
He gave the oil drops
negative charge by spraying
them into air ionized by X-
rays. He adjusted the charge
on the plates so that the
upward force of attraction
equaled the downwards
force of gravity, and so the
drop would stay stationary.
Calculations on the forces allowed him to find the charges on the drops. These were multiples ofthe charge on an electron.
He found that the electron had a charge of 1.602 x 10-19
C (coulombs). They had a mass of 9.109 x
10-31
kg, which is 1/1837 of the mass of a hydrogen atom.
Discovering the protons and neutrons
The new atomic models; the Plum-Pudding, and the Nuclear AtomNew discoveries needed new atomic
models. If there are negatively charged
electrons in all neutral atoms, then there
must be a positively charged particle to
cancel them out.
For some time, the most favored was
the J.J. Thomsons Plum-Pudding
model, in which the electrons wereembedded in a pudding of positive
charge.
Then an experiment in 1909, by Hans Geiger and Ernest Rutherford, changed everything. They
were investigating how alpha particles were scattered when they were fired at very thin sheets of
different metals.
They detected alpha particles by flashes of light that were caused by the impact with a fluorescent
screen. Some, however, were deflected with large angles.

The Plum-Pudding model couldnt explain the surprising observations. However, Rutherford
suggested that atoms consist of largely empty space and that the mass is largely concentrated into
a very small, positively charged nucleus.
Most alpha particles pass through the empty space in the atom with very little deflection. When
the alpha particle approaches on a path close to the nucleus, however, the positive charges
strongly repel each other, and the alpha particle is deflected through a large angle.
Particles in the nucleusThe protonRutherford reasoned that there must be particles that are responsible for the positive charge. He
and Marsden fired alpha particles through hydrogen, nitrogen and other elements.
They detected new particles with positive charge and the approximate mass of a hydrogen atom.
He called these particlesprotons.
The proton has a positive charge of 1.602 x 10-19
C, equal in size but different in charge of that of
an electron. It has a mass of 1.673 x 10-27
kg.
Each electrically neutral atom has the same number of protons as the number of electrons outside
the nucleus.
The neutron
The mass of the atom, which is concentrated in its nucleus, cannot depend only on protons, as
they usually provide around half of the atomic mass.
Rutherford then proposed that there is another particle in the nucleus which has the same mass of
the proton but with no electrical charge. As the particle is not charged, its detection was very
difficult, not until 1932.
One of his co-workers, James Chadwick, produced sufficient evidence for the existence of the
neutron.

Using the apparatus Chadwick
bombarded a block of beryllium
with alpha particles. No charged
particles were detected on the
other side of the block. However,
when a block of paraffin wax was
placed near the beryllium, charged
particles were detected and
identified as protons.
The alpha particles had knocked out neutrons from the beryllium, and in turn these knocked out
protons out of the wax.

1. Electrons (cathode ray)2. Protons3. Neutrons (1932)
Atomic and Mass numbers
Atomic Number (Z)The difference between atoms of different elements is the number of protons in the nucleus of
each atom.
The atomic number shows:
The number of protons in the nucleus The number of electrons in a neutral atom of that element The position of the element in the periodic table
Mass number (A)It is useful to have a measure for the total number of particles in the nucleus of an atom. It is
called the mass number. For any atom:
The mass number is the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons in thenucleus

Behavior of protons, neutrons and electrons in electric fieldsThe three particles behave differently in electric fields due to a different charge on them and their
relative masses.
Protons are attracted to the negative pole and electrons are attracted to the positive pole.
Because electrons are much lighter, they are deflected more.Neutrons are not deflected as they
have no charge on them.
Summary:Particle Name Relative Mass Relative Charge
Proton 1 +1
Neutron 1 0
Electron negligible -1
Isotopes
In Rutherfords atomic model, the nucleus consists of protons and neutrons, each with a mass of
one atomic unit. The relative atomic masses of elements should then be whole numbers. It was a
puzzle why chlorine has a relative atomic mass of 35.5.
The answer is that atoms of the same element are not all identical.
These atoms that have the same proton number but a different mass number are calledisotopes.
For example, hydrogen has three isotopes:
Isotope Protium Deuterium Tritium
Symbol
Protons 1 1 1
Neutrons 0 1 2
Electrons in atoms
The electrons are involved in the changes that happen in chemical reactions, so if we knew
everything about the arrangements of the electrons in atoms and molecules, we could predict
most of the ways that chemicals behave, purely from mathematics.

There are some models that show how the electrons are arranged around the nucleus. The first
and most simple one is that thy orbit the nucleus which was rejected.
This is because the electrons would soon lose energy and fall down into the nucleus.
The second model is that they orbit around the nucleus, in shells or energy levels.
Arrangement of electrons: Energy levels and shellsIn 1913, a Danish physicist Niels Bohr proposed his ideas about arrangements of the electrons in
atoms.
The German physicist Max Planck had proposed in his Quantum Theory, that energy is atomic, and
can only be transferred in packets, or quanta.
Bohr applied this theory to the energy of electrons. So he suggested that electrons can only have
energy in quanta, and so they can only exist in quantized levels of energy.
If an electron gains or loses energy, it will travel up and down the energy levels, respectively, but
cannot stay somewhere in between.
These energy levels are most commonly called as shells.
Shells are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, etc. These numbers are known as the principal quantum numbers,
which are given the symbol n. Such numbers correspond to the periods in the periodic table.
For a given element, electrons are added to the shells as follows:
Up to 2 in shell 1 Up to 8 in shell 2 Up to 18 in shell 3

Ionisation energy
When an atom loses an electron it becomes a positive ion. We say that it has been ionized. Energy
is needed to remove electrons and this is generally called Ionisation Energy.
The first ionisation energy of an element is the amount of energy needed to remove one electron
from each atom in a mole of atoms of an element in the gaseous state.
The general symbol for ionisation energy is Hi and for the first ionisation energy it is Hi1.

Trends in Hi (Ionization energy):
1) HIincreases as more and more electrons are removed i.e. H I2> HI1.2) There are one or more particularly large sizes of HIwithin the successive HI of each
element (except for H and He), due to the jump from one energy level to another.
Factors affecting HI:
1) The size of the positive nuclear charge; the greater the positive nuclear charge the greaterthe HI.
2) The distance of electrons from nucleus; the further the e- is from the nucleus, the weakerthe attraction and therefore the smaller the ionization energy needed.
3) The shielding effect of inner electrons; as the number of inner shells increases, the HIdecreases.

In general:
1. As we go from left to right across a period, the nuclear charge increases and atomic sizedecreases, HIincreases.
2. As we go down a group the shielding effect and atomic size increases and HIdecreases.
HI increases (Periodic table)
HI decreases
3. Electrons are in discrete energy levels (quantized) (or shells) characterized by theirprincipal quantum numbers (n= 1,2,3,4, etc)
4. The nearest to the nucleus is shell K with n=1, the next is L with n=2. The furthest awayfrom the nucleus has the highest energy (energy becomes higher)(less negative)
5. The maximum number of electrons in an energy level (or shell) is given by the equation#e = 2n2where n is principal quantum number
Need for a more complex model
The electronic configurations are not so simple. For some elements, like lithium to neon, their first
ionization energies dont increase evenly.
This, and other complications, shows the need for a more complex model of electronic
configurations, other than the Bohrs model.

Bohrs model as shown by quantum mechanics:
1) Energy levels consist of one or more sub-levels which contains orbitals at different
energies.
2) Sublevels are s, p, d, f types S contains one orbital P contains three orbitals D contains fve orbitals F contains seven orbitals.3) An orbital is a region in space around the
nucleus where there is a high probability
of finding a particular electron.
4) Orbitals have different 3D shapes, no exact boundaries. They are fuzzy like clouds, oftencalled electronic clouds, drawn with boundaries to represent 90-95% of the space in which
an electron exists.
5)
S orbitals are spherical
6) While P orbitals are dumbbell shaped with 2 lubes extending along X, Y and Z axes.
Filling the orbitals and electronic configurationsThree important rules:
1) Pauli Exclusion Principle.- Any orbital cannot hold more than 2
electrons, in this case they should be
paired (spin-paired)
2) In filling shells and orbitals, the orbitals ofthe lowest energies are filled first. (i.e. the
electronic configuration [distribution of
electrons] should be given in its lowest
energy state.
3) Orbitals of equal energies (degenerateorbitals) are filled singly first. Then you
should double up with more electrons.
(Lowest energy state = Ground state)

Chapter 2Atoms, molecules and Stoichiometry
Counting atoms and molecules
There are two important definitions to remember in this chapter:
Relative Atomic Mass, Ar, or an element:o Average mass of one atom relative to the mass of one atom of C12 which is
considered to be 12 (atomic mass unit A.M.U)
Relative Isotopic Mass of an Isotope of an element: The mass of one atom of the isotope relative to that of one atom of C12.
To calculate the Ar of an element we have to consider all the isotopes of the element and their
abundance.
= ( %)Example, to find the relative atomic mass of chlorine:
Isotopes:
Chlorine-35, abundance = 75.5%
Chlorine-37, abundance = 24.5%Therefore:
= (
)
=
The mass of different molecules are compared in a similar fashion. The relative formula mass(Mr)
of a compound, is the mass of a molecule of the compound relative to the mass of an atom ofcarbon-12.
To find the relative Mr of a compound, we add up all the Ars of the elements in the compound.
Example for CH4:

Determination of Ar from mass spectra
Ar is determined using an instrument called the mass spectrometer. The instrument is shown
below:
Knowledge of the working of the mass spectrometer is not required by CIE.
The results of the mass spectrometer would be shown on a computer screen, as a chart of
abundance against mass. For example, for zirconium:

Counting chemical substances in bulk
The mole and Avogadros constant
A mole of atoms is a quantity that containsAvogadros number(61023) of atoms.
Similarly,
A Mole of molecules:o It is a quantity of the substance that
contains Avogadros number of
molecules.
(e.g. : a mole of ions a mole of
electrons)
In terms of mass,
A mole of atoms is a quantity in grams equal to the relative atomic mass.
For example, 1mol of S atoms weighs 32 grams.
Relative Molecular Mass (Mr) is the sum of atomic masses of all atoms in the molecule.
Examples are found in the book.
The empirical (simplest) formula & molecular formula:
The Empirical Formula:Of a compound shows the simplest whole-number ratio of the elements in the compound
The Molecular Formula:Of a compound shows the real number of each element in a molecule of a compound.

Combustion analysis
The composition by mass of organic compounds can be found by combustion analysis. This
involves the complete combustion in oxygen of a sample of a known mass.
In combustion analysis, all the carbon is converted to carbon dioxide and all the hydrogen into
water.
These produced are carefully collected and weighed. Calculation gives the mass of carbon and
hydrogen present.
If oxygen is also present, its mass is found by subtraction (elimination). Other elements require
other methods.
- mass of C in a sample = mass of CO2
- mass of H in a sample = mass of H2O
Example:

Calculations involving gas volumes:
Equal volumes of different gases contain the same number of molecules under same conditions oftemperature and pressure, and this number is Avogadros Number.
The opposite is also true, equal numbers of molecules of different gases, under same conditions of
temperature and pressure occupy the same volume.
At room temperature and pressure (r.t.p), one mole of any gas occupies approximately 24dm3
(at

A. Covalent bondingSimple molecular
- Liquids and gases- Low melting solids- H2O, NH2, C2H5OH, Sucrose
Properties:
A. Low boiling point and melting pointB. Nonconductors of electricityC. May be insoluble in H2O, may dissolve in organic solvents
Giant molecular- Solids of high melting point and boiling point- Quartz
Properties:
A. High boiling point and melting pointB. NonconductorsC. Insoluble in H2O and other solventsIn covalent bonds, electron pairs are shared between atoms. The electron pairs lying between
the two nuclei are attracted by both nuclei, thus bonding them and thus overcoming the
repulsion between them.
In covalent compounds, the shared electron pairs are in molecular orbitals rather than atomic
orbitals
Molecular Orbitals arise from the overlap of atomic orbitals.

B. Bonds of intermediate(in between covalent & ionic) characterIonic, of covalent character:
Polarization of Ions:
These are ionic compounds that show some properties which are more characteristic of covalent
compounds. These ionic compounds contain anions which have become polarized.
1) Polarization of anion is the distortion of electronic cloud by the cation.2) Polarization brings more electron charge between the two ionic nuclei producing a certain
degree of covalent bonding.
3) Distortion:
+ _ purely ionic
+ _ partial ionization
+ _ extensive Ionic Molecule of Covalent Character
4) Cations with smaller radius and greater charge (i.e. greater charge density) have greaterpolarization on anions.
5) Anions with larger radius and greater charge are more easily polarized by cations.

Difference in properties of solids, liquids, and gases:
They are due to differences in spacing and speed of particles.
Spacing
In gases, particles are much further apart than in liquids and solids. There is little difference
between liquids and solids.
Both (solids and liquids) are hard to compress Gases are poor conductors, because of the large distances between particles. Liquids and solids are better conductors
For heat to be transferred by particles, movement of energy of particles must be passed from one
to another (by collision in gases & liquids and vibration in solids).
Metals are unique in thermal and electrical conduction due to the presence of free electrons.

Why gases liquefy and solids melt?
By bringing molecules closer (applying pressure) and slower (reducing their temperature),
intermolecular forces become sizable and overcome repulsive forces. Molecules stick together
leading to liquid state.
Each gas has its characteristic T at which intermolecular forces are strong enough to win (Tc critical
temperature).

For melting, heating is necessary, i.e. thermal energy to increase kinetic energy of molecules must
be supplied to overcome intermolecular forces to allow molecules to be free to move.

Experiment to measure the vapor pressure of a liquid:
Read page 57. Not required for examination.
Remarkable Substances:
Liquid Crystals
These are liquids which have sufficient long-range order to behave like solids (at certain range of
temperature). Usually molecules are thin, long, and not very symmetrical. Arrangement of
molecules can be upset by slight changes in the surroundings.
At equilibrium, the rate at
which molecules leave the
liquid equals the rate at which
molecules join the liquid.

Chapter 5a (AS-Level)Chemical Energecs
Chemical reactions are accompanied by enthalpy changes, in the form of heat
energy.
Enthalpy, given the symbol H, is the total energy content of thee reacting materials.
Enthalpy changeis the change in the total energy content of the reacting materials, given
the symbol H (Delta H).
When H is negative, the reaction is exothermic; when its positive the reaction is
endothermic.
Some chemical reactions are:
Exothermic:Examples:
- Combustion of fuel- Respiration in our bodies- Reaction of metals with acids- Reaction of alkalis with acids- Reaction of quicklime with water:
CaO(s) + H2O(l)Ca(OH)2 (aq) + E
Endothermic:Examples:
Decomposition of limestone:CaCO3(S) + E CaO(s) + CO2 (g)
Photosynthesis:CO2 (g) + H2O + E Carbohydrates (Glucose)
Dissolving NH4Cl:NH4Cl(s) + H2O + ENH4+ (aq) + Cl- (aq)

Energy is conserved
Energy is neither created nor destroyed, in either exothermic or endothermic reactions. In
endothermic reactions, the energy is transferred to the reactants (the system) from the
surroundings. In exothermic reactions it is transferred to the surroundings, all in the form ofheat.
Enthalpy and Enthalpy changes
Mentioned earlier are the definitions of enthalpy and enthalpy change.
H has a unit of kilojoules per mole (kJ mol-).
We can illustrate enthalpy changes using Enthalpy Profiles (or Enthalpy graphs). Shown
below are some examples:

Standard Enthalpy Changes (H)
When we want to compare the enthalpy changes of reactions, we must use standard conditions.
A standard enthalpy change for a reaction takes place under these conditions, which are known as
standard:
Pressure = 1 atm = 100kPa Temperature = 298K Mole = 1mol Concentration = 1M =1
of solutions
Reactants and Products in normal physical and standard condition
Standard enthalpy change of reaction (Hr)
Hr is the enthalpy change when the amounts of reactants given in reaction equation react under
standard conditions to give products in the standard conditions.
Example:
2H2 (g) +2O2 (g) 2H2O(l)
HR
= -572kJ
BUT
H2 (g) +
O2(g) H2O(l)
HR = -286 kJ
Standard enthalpy change of formation of
compounds (Hf)
HF is the enthalpy change when 1 mol of the
compound is formed from its elements under
standard conditions.
Example:
HF (H2O) = -286 kJ/mol

Standard enthalpy change of combustion (Hc)
HC is the enthalpy change when 1 mol of the substance is completely burned in oxygen under
standard conditions.
Example:
HC (H2) = -286 kJ/mol
Other enthalpy changes
We can define other standard enthalpy changes in a similar manner:
The standard enthalpy change of hydration is the enthalpy change when one mole ofa gaseous ion dissolves in water to give an infinitely dilute solution.
The standard enthalpy change of solution is the enthalpy change when one mole of asolute dissolves in a solvent to give an infinitely dilute solution.
The standard enthalpy change of neutralization is the enthalpy change when onemole of H
+ions from an acid is completely neutralized by an alkali to give one mole of
water.
The standard enthalpy change of atomization of an element is the enthalpy changewhen one mole of gaseous atoms is formed from one mole of the element in its
standard state.
Bond making, breaking and enthalpy change
Bond Making is Exothermic
Bond Breaking is Endothermic
Bond Enthalpy (BE) is the energy needed to break 1 mole of a particular covalent bond.
This indicates the strength of the bond, the higher the energy needed, the higher bond strength
and vice versa.
Bond enthalpies
It is useful to measure the amount of energy need to break a covalent bond, as it indicates
the strength of the bond. It is called Bond Enthalpy.

Measuring energy transfers and enthalpy changes
Enthalpy change of combustion
Measurements ofHr are important as they help to compare the energy available from the
oxidation of different flammable liquids, which may be used as fuels.
The apparatus is shown below:
Measurements that are taken:
Mass of cold water The temperature rise of the water The loss in mass of the fuel
The specific heat capacity of water is also needed, which is 4.2 Jg-1
K-1
.
Specific heat capacity of a substance is the heat required to raise the temperature of a unit
mass of a substance (one gram or one kilogram) one degree Celsius or Kelvin.
Therefore:
While heat capacity of a substance or apparatus, is the heat required to raise the
temperature of the whole substance or apparatus one degree Celsius or kelvin.
Heat capacity is determined in a different experiment.

Enthalpy change of solution of NaOH
Method:
Use polystyrene cup to hold the solution. Weigh and add 100g distilled water.
Determine initial temperature. Add few pellets of solid NaOH quickly to the water. Stir mixture immediately and start a timer to take temperature readings at regular
intervals.
Temperature rises to a max and then drops, readings should be taken for enoughtime.
Weigh the cup and find mass of NaOH added. Plot temperature versus time and extrapolate to find T as in the figure.
Heat evolved = m x 4.18 x T
Then calculate for 1 moleH solution
Example:
Mass of cup = 8g Mass of cup + water = 108.15g Mass of distilled water = 100.15g Mass of NaOH + cup + water = 114.35g Mass of NaOH = 6.20g Initial temperature of cup = 15 C

Enthalpy change by different routes (Hess law)
In chemical reactions:
Hess law states that:
The total enthalpy change for a chemical reaction is independentof the route
followed from reactants to the products, provided the initial and final conditions
are the same.
So we deduce the following (using the diagram):
Hess law is another form of the law of conservation ofenergy, which is the first law inthermodynamics.

Chapter 6 (AS-Level)Electrochemistry
Elements have different combining power, which is different ratios of atoms that combine with each other
is called valency (Strength).
Example:
MgO which has a ratio of 1:1 Al2O3 which has a ratio of 2:3
At present a more useful measure is used, Oxidation state or Oxidation number.
The charge an atom would have in a molecule or ion, if electrons were completely transferred
(to the more electronegative atoms) in covalent molecules or ions.
Rules for assigning oxidation numbers:
1. Oxidation numbers are calculated as the number of electrons that an atom loses, gains or shares informing ionic or covalent bonds.
2. The oxidation state of free element is zero. E.g. H2, Br2, O2, etc.3. The oxidation number of a simple ion (monatomic) is its charge. E.g. Na+ (+1)4. The oxidation number of hydrogen in compounds is (+1), except in metal hydrides, where it is (-1)5. The oxidation number of oxidation in compounds is (-2), except in peroxides and in OF2 where it is
(-1) and (+2) respectively.
6. In the molecules and ions, the more electronegative atom in given the negative oxidation numbers.7. The sum of oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral molecule is zero.8. The sum of oxidation numbers of all atom in a complex ion is equal to the charge of the ion.
Oxidation Numbers Calculation Examples:
The oxidation number of Carbon in CO2 is:(-2) x 2 = (+4)
The oxidation number of Carbon in CH4 is:X + 4 x(+1) = 0, therefore X = (-4)
of Mn in KMnO4 is:1 + X + 4(-2) = 0
X = +7
of Cl in KClO3 is:1+ X + 3(-2) = 0
X = +5

Redox Reactions:Reduction Oxidation Reactions:
The term redoxis used for the simultaneous processes of reduction and oxidation, in which one element is
reduced and another oxidized.
Examples:
Both are redox reactions.
Fe is oxidized, it is the reducing agent.
O is reduced it is the oxidizing agent.
From the example:
Fe had an oxidation number of 0. After the reaction, the Fe lost 3 electrons, so its oxidation number increased.Similarly, the oxygen had an oxidation number of 0 before the reaction and gained 4 electrons, so its oxidation
number decreased from 0 to -2.
Oxidaon is: The loss of electrons. Increase in oxidaon number.
Reducon is: The gain of electrons. The decrease in oxidaon number.

Extraction of Aluminium from Alumina
The method used to extract the metal form its ore depends on the position of the metal in the reactivity series. If the
metal is high up in the series, its ores are stable and can be only be obtained by electrolysis.
Aluminium is extracted from bauxite (Al2O3) by electrolysis. However, bauxite has a very high melting point but can
be dissolved in molten cryolite at 900 degrees Celsius. In other words, the cryolite is used to lower the melting point
of bauxite.
Cathode reaction:
4 Al3+
+ 12 e-= 4 Al
Anode reaction:
6 O2-= 3O2 + 12 e

Carbon dioxide is also produced from this reaction. It is produced from the carbon electrodes burning in the heat
and oxygen produced.

Electrolytic purification of copper
Metals can be refined or purified by electrolysis. The impure metal forms the anode and the pure metal forms the
cathode. The electrolyte is an aqueous metal salt.
In the purification of copper, impure copper is used as the anode and a thin sheet of pure copper is used as the
cathode.
The following reaction occurs:
At anode, the copper is ionized (becomes an ion):
Cu -2e-= Cu
2+
At the cathode, the copper ion is unionized, which produces solid copper on the cathode:
Cu2+
+2e-= Cu
As electrolysis takes place the pure copper sheet gains mass and the anode (impure copper) loses mass and the
impurities are deposited under the anode in the container.
This means that the copper ions had left the impure copper side and joined the pure copper side.
The colour of the copper (II) sulphate solution does not change as the concentration of copper ions in the solution
does not change.

In general, increasing the pressure shifts the equilibrium to the side of fewer gaseous molecules
and vice versa.
Effect of catalyst on equilibrium
Catalysts have no effect on equilibrium, but allow the equilibrium to be achieved faster.
They do this by decreasing the activation energy, and hence speed it up. More catalyst could mean
a faster reaction rate, but doesnt change the equilibrium concentration of reactants or products.
Law of chemical equilibriumFor the general equation:
aA +bBcC + dD
The following is always true:
KC is the equilibrium constant;
A, B, C and D are the concentration of the corresponding substances in the general equation;
The superscript, a, b, c and d are moles of the corresponding substances in the general equation.
For example:
H2 + I2 2HI

KCand Le Chateliers principle
For example:
2 HI H2 + I2 Forward reaction is endothermic
When the temperature is raised:
The concentration of products increase, while
the concentration of reactants decrease, so KC
has to increase.
Example 2:
2 SO2 + O2 2 SO2 Forward reaction is exothermic
The concentration of the product decrease as the temperature is increased, while the
concentration of the reactants increases, so KC has to decrease.
KC and concentration changes
For example:
2 HI H2 + I2
At 500K,
If the concentration of HI is increased, KC decreases. So to maintain equilibrium, the concentration
of H2 and I2 has to increase so the value of KC reaches 6.25x10-3.
Equilibrium constants and pressure changesIn reactions involving gases, KP (of pressures) is used.
E.g.
2 HI H2 + I2
p(H2) indicates the equilibrium partial pressures of H2 in a closed system containing the equilibrium
mixture at constant temperature.
The partial pressure of a gas in a mix of gases is the pressure exerted by that gas alone, if it
occupies the container alone.
Calculating partial pressures
For example, air at 500kPa has 1 mole oxygen and 4 moles nitrogen.
(1)Mole fraction =
Of oxygen = , and of nitrogen =
(2)Partial pressure = mole fraction x total pressure

2NH3(g) (H = -93 kJ/mol)
Due to the unreactive nature of nitrogen, a high amount of energy is needed. Increasing thetemperature would drive the equilibrium to the left as the forward reaction is exothermic.
Pressure is also used to increase the reaction rate, which would drive the equilibrium to theright. Very high pressures increase the cost of the plant, and low pressures make the
reaction very slow.
A catalyst can be used to overcome the problem of the low rate of reaction. An iron catalystis used, with small amounts of K, Mg, Al, and Si oxides that improve the efficiency of the
catalyst.
The rate of the reaction can be increased by increasing the temperature and by accepting alower equilibrium percentage of ammonia in the mixture.
Ammonia is removed as it is formed, so the reaction mixture is not left to reach equilibrium. Rapid expansion is used to cool the mixture. Ammonia liquefies, while unreacted nitrogen
and hydrogen are recycled into the reaction vessel.
Conditions are:
Between 2.5 and 15MPa pressure 670 to 770K temperature Finely divided or porous iron catalyst with metal oxide promoters

The contact processIn this process, sulphuric acid is manufactured from sulphur.
(1)Sulphur is burned in air at 1000C to make SO2S + O2 SO2
(2)Sulphur dioxide is converted into Sulphur trioxide by using vanadium (v) oxide catalyst.2 SO3 + O2 2 SO3 (H = -197 kJ/mol)
(3)Sulphur trioxide is dissolved in sulphuric acid to make oleum (H2S2O7) which is then dilutedinto sulphuric acid.
SO3 + H2SO4 H2S2O7
H2S2O7 + H2O 2 H2SO4
Conditions are:
V2O5 catalyst Temperature of 400 to 600C Pressure just above atmospheric pressure
These conditions used to convert sulphur dioxide into sulphur trioxide are a compromise. Higher
yields of SO3 are produced when using air in excess, forcing equilibrium to the right.
A temperature of 400C is used because the catalyst is inactivated below it.
Uses of sulphuric acid include:
The manufacture of paints The manufacture of detergents and soaps The manufacture of phosphate fertilizers The manufacture of dyestuff

Definition of acids and basesArrhenius (1884):
An acid is a substance that produces an excess of H+ in aqueous solutions
A base is a substance that produces excess of OH+ in aqueous solutions.
Brnsted & Lowry
An acid is proton donor.
A base is a proton acceptor.
Examples:
When hydrochloric acid dissolves in water:HCl + H2O H3O+ + Cl-
Proton Donor Proton Acceptor Conjugate acid of H2O Conjugate base of HCl
When ammonia dissolves in water:
Ammonia accepts a proton from the water and so its a base. The ammonium ion is its conjugate
acid. Water donates a proton, so its an acid. The hydroxide ion is its conjugate base.

The role of waterPure water conducts electricity. This is a fact. This means that pure water contain ions of itself.
Pure water can also be electrolyzed by a direct current. Every now and then, one water molecule
reacts with another water molecule to form ions. A proton leaves one water molecule and is
accepted by the other. These ions transfer electrons during electrolysis.

Or more simply as:
H2O (l) H+

Base behavior and neutralizationWhen acid and bases react, they are said to neutralize each other. For example, in the acid HCl,
there are 2 ions, H+
and Cl-and a water molecule. In the base NaOH, there are Na
+and OH
-ions
and a water molecule. When these are mixed, the protons and hydroxide ions react to form water.
H+
(aq) + OH-(aq) H2O (l) (H= -57 kJ/mol)
This is what neutralization is the formation of water by the exothermic forward reaction. The
ions remaining stay dissolved in water.
Acids and bases of varying strengthStrong acid and bases are those which are totally ionized when dissolved in water. The strong acids
include hydrogen halides and strong bases include the group I hydroxides.
Weak acids and bases dont ionize totally when they dissolve in water. They even might not ionize
at all. Examples for weak acids include Ethanoic acid. They hardly donate protons at all.Organic
acids like Ethanoic acid and citric acids are typical weak acids. Weak acids are similarly weak in
accepting protons. These include the conjugate bases of strong acids, such as sulphate and
chloride ions.

Chapter 8a (AS-Level)Reacon kinecs
Rates of reaction why bother?There are many reasons why chemists study the rate of reaction, for example to:
Gain insight into the reaction mechanism (how the reaction proceeds). Understand the chemical processes taking place in our bodies and environment. Improve the rate of the production in chemical industries.
When a reaction proceeds through several steps, the slowest step in the mechanism determines
the overall rate of the reaction, and it is called the rate-determining steps.
Chemical reactions proceed at different rates
The rate of reactions tells us how fast the reaction occurs. It is measured by amount of a reactant
used up, or the amount of product produced, in a given time.
OR:
The reacon rate is a posive quanty.
Example:
H2O2 + 2 I +2 H 2 H2O + I2
If concentration of I2 is changed from 0 to 10-5
mole in 10 seconds, then the reaction rate is:
The unit is always mol.dm-3
.s-1
When t approaches 0,
, which is the instantaneous reaction rate at time t.
In practice, it is the slope of the tangent at time t, to the concentration-time curve.

4. In some reactions, the intensity of lightIncreasing the light intensity of radiation (visible or UV light) increases the rate.
For example, in the free radical substation of methane by chlorine, an increase in the intensity of
UV light increases the rate of the reaction.
5. CatalystsCatalysts usually speed up the reaction by lowering the activation of the energy of the reaction.
For example, nickel is used in the hydrogenation of vegetable oils to make margarine.
Monitoring and measuring reaction ratesWe can measure reaction rates in a variety of ways to study the factors which affect the chemical
reaction rates. To study the effect of temperature on a reactions rate, all the other variables must
be kept constant, while the temperature may be changed. A fair test is required.
We must also know the mole ratios of the reactants and products as shown by the balanced
chemical equation. No side reactions must be taking place, as these will affect the measurements.
Now the way in which the reaction progress can be monitored must be decided. There are 2 types
of method accessible to us:
1. Destructive methodThis based on chemical analysis, for example, using titration. Samples are taken from reaction
mixture at suitable intervals, quenched (to stop the reaction, using ice for example) and analyzed
(and the concentration is determined).
2. Non-destructive methodsThis is done using physical methods to measure a property that changes as reaction proceeds.
Properties like mass, volume, pressure, pH, colour, electric conductivity can be used at regular
time intervals (quenching not included).
Monitoring reaction rate using mass loss
When a gas is evolved during a
reaction, monitoring mass loss
may provide a suitable method of
measuring the reaction rate.
There needs to be sufficient loss
in mass to be followed using a
reasonably accurate balance. For
example, 2.00 g of small marble
chips will give a satisfactory loss
in mass when treated with 150
cm3
of hydrochloric acid.

Monitoring reaction rate using colour intensity
Using colour intensity, concentration of a specific substance can be measured. For example, the
concentration of copper ions in the following experiment can be estimated using a
spectrophotometer.
The copper ions replace the atoms of iron. After several minutes, the blue colour of (a) has
become paler and a red-brown deposit has formed on the iron wool (b).
The spectrophotometer is a device that measures how much light of a particular wave-length can
pass through a sample, liquid or gas.
The beaker in (a) contains 1 dm3
of 1.00 mol dm-3
aqueous copper sulphate. Iron wool reacts with
the copper ions in the solution, displacing them and changing the colour of the solution as a result.
Cu2+
(aq) + Fe (s) Fe2+
(aq) + Cu (s)
Solutions appear coloured because they absorb radiation in the visible region of the spectrum.
Aqueous copper sulphate absorbs radiation in the yellow, orange and red regions, which only
allows blue light to pass through and so the solution looks blue.
Measuring reaction rates of gases using pressure changes
Measurements of pressure changes at a given
temperature can be used to calculate concentration
change as a reaction proceeds. For example, this
method can be used to monitor the production of
carbon dioxide from limestone in a sealed container.
CaCO3 (s) CaO (s) + CO2
The figure shows a notional system to investigate the
effect of heat on the decomposition of limestone.

Monitoring reaction rates of solutions using chemical analysis
If there is a change in acidity or basicity as a reaction proceeds, suitable titrations can be made to
follow the rate. The rate of formation of sulphurous acid, H2SO3 (a component of acid rain formed
by the reaction of SO2 with water), could be followed by measuring the increase in concentration
of hydrogen ions produced.
This is monitored by titrating samples of the increasingly acidic solution against a basic solution of
known concentration, for example, 0.001 mol dm-3
aqueous sodium hydroxide. The more sodium
hydroxide that is needed to neutralize the sample, the more sulphuric acid is present.
The collision theory of reactivityFor a reaction to occur:
1. There should be collisions between the molecules of reactants2. These collisions should be energetic enough3. They should occur with the right orientation of molecules
Important points:
Molecules will react only if they collide with each other And if there is enough energy in the collision Increasing the concentration increases the probability of collision of collision, which
increases the rate of the reaction
Increasing the temperature increases the proportion of molecules with sufficient energy toreact, which increases the rate of reaction
The Boltzmann distribution of molecular energiesThe Boltzmann distribution represents the number of particles with particular energies.
Billions and billions of particles in a gas are in constant random motion. A few are almost
motionless. A minority have momentarily speeds far above the average. The majority of particles
have speeds around the average. This is shown by the graph below. The difference between the
energy of the molecules is only due to speed (as they have the same mass).

With a catalyst:
A catalyst is a substance added to reactions in the purpose of increasing the rate. It doesnt change
at the end of the reaction. It lowers the energy of activation which is achieved by allowing the
reaction to take place by a different mechanism or by a different pathway.
The reaction rate increases because the catalysed reaction pathway has lower activation energy
than that of the uncatalysed reaction. The Boltzmann distribution below shows how the lower
activation energy increases the number of molecules that will react on collision.
EnzymesThese are proteins that act as biological catalysts. Enzymes:
Show great specificity Are extremely sensitive to changes in pH and temperature Are extremely sensitive to molecules that are inhibitors and cofactors Are far more efficient than the inorganic catalysts used in the chemical industry

Chapter 9 (AS-Level)Chemical Periodicity
Versions of the periodic tableThe most common versions of the periodic table include vertical groups I, II, VII, and horizontal
periods from 1 to 7 and blocks of elements, and are named as follows:
S-block, which contains groups I &II P-block, which contains groups III to VII & 0 D-block, which contains transition metals F-block, which contains lanthanides & actinides
Periodic patterns of physical properties of elements (the first 36 elements
only)
Electronic configuration:
In S-block, the outermost electrons are in s-orbital, in p-block the outermost electrons are inthe p-orbitals.
Elements in same group have the same number of electrons in their outer shell For the elements in groups I 0 the number of outer shell electrons is the same as the
group numbers
Group 8 (noble gases) have 8 es in their outermost shell.Atomic radiiAtomic radius is 2 types:
Covalent radius, which is half the distance between nuclei in neighboring atoms in amolecule.
Metallic radius, which is half the distance between neighbouring nuclei in metallic crystal(lattice).
Trends in atomic radii:
Increase down a group Decrease across a period Relatively constant in T.M energies Opposite trends to ionization energies
These trends are due to the combined effect of:
Nuclear charge Distance of outer electronic shell from nucleus (atomic size) Shielding effects of inner electronic shells
Ionic radii
Ionic radii decrease across a period The radii of positive ions (cations) are smaller than those of corresponding atoms

F: 1s2, 2s

Ne: 1s2, 2s

6 2080 kJ/mol
Na: 1s2, 2s
2, 2p
6, 3s
1 494 kJ/mol
This is due to the combined effect of these factors:
Nuclear charge (protons in nucleus) Atomic size (distance of outer electrons from nucleus) Shielding effect of inner shells
First ionization energies in periods
Considering Li, Be and B:
Li: 1s2, 2s1 IE = 519 kJ/mol
Be: 1s2, 2s2 IE= 900 kJ/mol (Has the same shielding effect but greater nuclear charge and
smaller size).
B: 1s2, 2s2, 2p1 IE = 799 kJ/mol (The electron in the p-orbital is of higher energy level, so is
easier to remove).
From the above graph, a general trend can be seen across periods, but this trend is uneven. For
example look the above elements, Lithium, Beryllium and Boron. Someone might predict that
Boron has the highest first ionization energy, but Beryllium does.
From experimental evidence like this, it is known that it is easier to remove electrons from a p
orbital than from a s orbital in the same shell. P orbitals are higher energy levels than the s orbitals
for a given quantum number. So an electron is easier to remove from the p orbital of the Boron
atom than from the s orbital.
First ionization energies in Groups
Elements are placed in groups in the periodic table, as they show similar physical and chemical
properties. The first ionization energies decrease down a group. This is due to:
Nuclear charge increasing Atomic radii increases, so there is less attraction between electrons and protons Shielding effect of inner electrons
The last two factors decrease the effect of the first factor.
First ionization energies and reactivity
The lower the first ionization energy of an element in the periodic table, the higher the reactivity
of that particular element with acids or bases, with metals or non-metals.
In reactions between metals and non-metals, the metal has to form a positive ion for areaction to occur. The metals with lower first ionization energies react faster and morevigorously.
Group I metals have the least first ionization energies because they have the lowest firstionization energies. Reactivity increases down the group.
