Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.4.1 Introducing Entropy
Introducing Entropy You may have wondered why it is that endothermic reactions occur at all, after all, what can be the driving force behind endothermic reactions if the products end up in a...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.3.4 Enthalpy of Solution
Solution & Hydration Definitions Enthalpy of solution The standard enthalpy change of solution (ΔHsolꝋ) is the enthalpy change when 1 mole of an ionic substance dissolves in sufficient w...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.3.3 Polarising Power
Polarisation of Ions Theoretical lattice energies assume a perfect ionic model where the ions are 100% spherical and the attractions are purely electrostatic So overall, there has a been a c...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.3.2 Born-Haber Cycles
Born-Haber Cycles A Born-Haber cycle is a specific application of Hess’ Law for ionic compounds and enable us to calculate lattice enthalpy which cannot be found by experiment The basic prin...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.3.1 Lattice Energy
Lattice Energy Lattice energy As with bond enthalpy, lattice energy (ΔHlattꝋ) can be expressed as a formation or dissociation process As a formation process, it is the enthalpy change when 1...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.2.8 Weak Acid - Strong Base Titration
Weak Acid - Strong Base Titration In this example, strong sodium hydroxide, NaOH (aq), is being added to weak ethanoic acid, CH3COOH (aq) NaOH (aq) + CH3COOH (aq) → CH3COONa (aq) + H2O (l) T...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.2.7 Buffers
Action of a Buffer Solution A buffer solution is a solution which resists changes in pH when small amounts of acids or alkalis are added A buffer solution is used to keep the pH almost const...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.2.6 Titration Curves
Drawing & Interpreting Titration Curves During a titration a pH meter can be used and a pH curve plotted A pH curve is a graph showing how the pH of a solution changes as the acid (or ba...
Edexcel A Level Chemistry:复习笔记5.2.5 Measuring and Comparing pH
Measuring and Comparing pH Strong and weak acids The relative strengths of different acids can be determined by measuring the pH of equimolar aqueous solutions of the acids, at the same temp...
