- Section B includes 9 questions worth 90 marks.
Key Concepts and Questions
-
Galvanic Cells vs. Fuel Cells
- Galvanic cells use a stored supply of reactants, converting chemical energy into electrical energy, while fuel cells require a continuous supply of reactants.
-
Calorimetry
- A calorimeter can be used to calculate the enthalpy change of a chemical reaction.
-
Scientific Posters
- The discussion section highlights outliers in results; the introduction should present the background, while results should compare findings against theoretical expectations.
-
Catalysts
- Catalysts lower the activation energy without being consumed.
-
Collision Theory
- A reaction occurs when reactant molecules collide with enough energy; increasing temperature generally increases collision frequency.
Energy Reactions
- A cold test tube indicates an endothermic reaction, as energy is absorbed from the surroundings.
- Energy profiles illustrate enthalpy changes; exothermic reactions typically have lower activation energy than endothermic reactions.
Electrolysis and Faraday's Law
- Faraday’s first law states that substance quantity produced is proportional to charge flow; the current through the circuit is the variable to measure.
Gas Laws and Calculations
- To find pressure in a gas, use the ideal gas law; relevant calculations may involve temperature changes and volumes at varying pressures.
Practical Applications of Chemistry
- Complete combustion of ethanol produces carbon dioxide, with calculations required for mass yield based on reactant input.
HPLC and Retention Times
- HPLC employs a polar stationary phase and a non-polar mobile phase for separation; understanding retention times is crucial for identifying components.
Structural Chemistry
- Understanding IUPAC naming and recognizing the type of alcohols is essential for interpreting molecular structures.
Amino Acids and Peptides
- Dipeptides can consist of combinations like glutamic acid and asparagine, recognized through structural formulas.
Lithium-Ion Cells
- Lithium-ion cells rely on specific reactions to function; understanding voltage and reaction extent is vital for their application in technology.
Maxwell-Boltzmann Distribution
- The area under the Maxwell-Boltzmann curve represents the total number of particles in a gas sample, correlating to kinetic theory.
Fuel Cells vs. Galvanic Cells
- Methanol-oxygen fuel cells and galvanic cells differ in reaction conditions while still adhering to principles of electron transfer during energy production.
