Study Notes

Getting the Most from Reactants

  • Butane (C₄H₁₀) can be converted into methane (CH₄) and propene (C₃H₆) in the reaction C₄H₁₀ → CH₄ + C₃H₆.
  • Theoretical yield calculation involves calculating the amount of propene that can be produced from 150 tonnes of butane.
  • Actual yield from 150 tonnes of butane is 86.3 tonnes of propene.
  • Percentage yield calculation is necessary given the actual yield of propene.
  • The percentage yield is rarely 100% for a real-world process due to various factors.
  • Atom economy refers to the production of propene.
  • Atom economy is rarely 100% for any process.
  • Propane (C₃H₈) reacts with oxygen in a combustion reaction forming carbon dioxide and water.
  • The balanced equation for this reaction if C₃H₈(g) + 5O₂(g) → 3CO₂(g) + 4H₂O(I).
  • 100cm³ of C₃H₈ reacts with 600cm³ of oxygen which leaves a remaining volume of unreacted gas.
  • Limiting reagent is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction.
  • Excess reagent is the reactant present in a quantity greater than necessary for complete reaction.

Equilibria

  • Sulphur dioxide reacts with oxygen to produce sulphur trioxide and is shown with the balanced equation 2SO₂(g) + O₂(g) ⇌ 2SO₃(g) with ΔH = -395.7 kJ mol⁻¹.
  • Increasing the pressure on an equilibrium will affect it.
  • A platinum catalyst is added to the reaction vessel which will affect the equilibrium position.
  • Increasing the temperature on the equilibrium position will affect it.
  • Measures for increasing the yield of sulphur trioxide can be taken.

Chemical Energy

  • Bond enthalpy values are used to calculate the enthalpy change for an addition reaction.
  • For the addition reaction between H₂C=CH₂ and HBr, the bonds breaking are one C=C bond and one H-Br bond.
  • Bonds being made in the reaction of H₂C=CH₂ and HBr are one C-C bond and one C-Br bond.
  • Enthalpy change is the difference in heat, based on absolute values of the thermodynamic quantity known as enthalpy.
  • Given the cycle diagram with ΔHₓ = -219 kJ mol⁻¹ and ΔH₁ = -90 kJ mol⁻¹, the value for ΔH₂ can be calculated.

Oxidising or Reducing Agents

  • Oxidation and reduction reactions can be combined to give the overall redox equation.
  • Oxidation: Cr(OH)₃ → CrO₄²⁻ + 3e⁻.
  • Reduction: Br₂ + 2e⁻ → 2Br⁻.
