New cards
3

Non renewable examples;

coal, coal seam gas and crude oil

New cards
4

Non-renewable impacts;

negative = explosive, deforestation, greenhouse gases
positive = higher energy content, cheaper

New cards
5

Renewable examples;

bio gas, bio diesel and bioethanol

New cards
6

Renewable impacts;

positive = local, less greenhouse gases, bio degradable
negative = lower energy content, high water usage, expensive

New cards
7

exo - the enthaply of....

the products is less than the enthaply of the reactants

New cards
8

endo - the enthaply of...

products is higher than the enthaply of the reactants

New cards
9

complete combustion

O2 is excess and clean blue flame

New cards
10

incomplete combustion

O2 is limiting and yellow flame

New cards
11

electrolyte

solution with ions that conducts electricity

New cards
12

salt bridge

connect the half cells internally and maintains electrical neutrality

New cards
13

primary cells...

cannot be recharged as the electrodes are consumed

New cards
14

secondary cells...

can be recharged by connecting them to an external source

New cards
15

fuel cells...

convert the chemical energy of a fuel into electricity through a reaction with oxygen

New cards
16

cell being recharged means...

you swap the products and reactants around

New cards
17

density formula

D=m/v

New cards
18

galvanic cells are....

a spontaneous reaction where chemical energy goes to electrical energy

New cards
19

electron flow...

negative to positive

New cards
20

inert elements

carbon, platinum, gold and mercury

New cards
21

Fuel cells advantages =

efficient as they convert chemical energy to electricity, hydrogen fuel cells only produce water and heat as by products with no greenhouse gases, can be used in variety of fuels

New cards
22

fuel cells disadvantages =

require constant fuel supply, expensive, storage and safety of hydrogen fuel

New cards
23

∆H =

Hproducts - Hreactants = kJmol -1

New cards
24

what is pressure?

force exerted on an area

New cards
25

OIL RIG

Oxidation is loss of e-
Reduction is gain of e-

New cards
26

In a galvanic cell the anode is _____ and the cathode is _____

negative, positive (ANOX and REDCAT)

New cards
27

How to increase the rate of an reaction?

increase temp, surface area, concentration and pressure

New cards
28

when a catalyst is added...

it decreases the activation energy by creating an alternative reactive pathway and thus the proportion of successful collisions increases.

New cards
29

Reversible reactions occur...

in closed systems and cannot achieve 100% yield

New cards
30

What is the equil constant only affected by?

temp

New cards
31

K>10^4

equil contains more products

New cards
32

K < 10^-4

the equil contains more reactants

New cards
33

Q>K

reverse reaction

New cards
34

Q<K

forward reaction

New cards
35

As pressure increases...

volume decreases

New cards
36

If pressure is increased, and mole ratio is 1:2

forwards reaction is favored

New cards
37

If pressure is increased, and mole ratio is 2:1

reverse reaction is favored

New cards
38

When concentration of reactants increase

forward reaction

New cards
39

When concentration of reactants decrease

reverse reaction

New cards
40

When con of products increase

reverse reaction

New cards
41

When con of products decrease

forward reaction

New cards
42

when coeffs are halved...

Kc = square root

New cards

44

when coeffs are doubled...

Kc^2

New cards
45

when coeff reversed and halved...

1/square root

New cards
46

Electrolytic reactions are...

- non-spontaneous
- energy is required
- anode is positive
- cathode is negative

New cards
47

what happens in discharge?

galvanic cells producing electrical energy

New cards
48

what happens in recharge?

electrolytic cells producing chemical energy

New cards
49

Q =

charge (C)

New cards
50

I =

current (A)

New cards
51

T =

time (s)

New cards
52

F =

96500 C

New cards
53

n(e-) = Q / F

Q = n(e-) x F

New cards
54

adding more reactant shifts the reaction..

to the RHS thus a forward reaction

New cards
55

adding more products shifts the reaction...

to the LHS thus a reverse reaction

New cards
56

by increasing the volume (decreasing pressure) it shifts...

where the most particles are

New cards
57

when volumes is decreased and pressure is increased..

shifts the side with less particles

New cards
58

adding a catalyst and inert gas...

has no effect on the equil

New cards
59

when temp increases, for exo...

LHS

New cards
60

when temp increases for endo...

shifts the RHS

New cards
61

adding H2O (dilution)

direction with most particles

New cards
62

removing a product...

shifts to RHS thus forward reaction
