Relative atomic mass (AR) - CORRECT ANSWER-Average mass of an atom compared
with one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon 12
Electronegativity - CORRECT ANSWER-Power of an atom to attract the pair of
electrons in a covalent bond
Standard enthalpy of combustion - CORRECT ANSWER-Enthalpy change when 1 mole
of a substance burns completely in oxygen under standard conditions with all reactants
and products being in their standard state
Standard enthalpy of formation - CORRECT ANSWER-Enthalpy change when 1 mole
of a compound is formed from its elements under standard conditions in their standard
states
Mean bond enthalpy - CORRECT ANSWER-The average energy needed to break a
certain type of bond over a range of compounds
Activation energy - CORRECT ANSWER-Minimum energy required for colliding
molecules to react
Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution x and y axes - CORRECT ANSWER-x: Energy
y: fraction/number of molecules
What happens to the Maxwell-Boltzmann curve when temperature increases -
CORRECT ANSWER-Moves down and to the right
Rate of reaction - CORRECT ANSWER-Rate at which product formed/reactant used up
Order of reaction - CORRECT ANSWER-Power to which the concentration of a species
is raised in the rate equation
rearrange k=Ae^-Ea./Rat - CORRECT ANSWER-link=-Ea./Rt+lnA
, Conditions for thermal cracking - CORRECT ANSWER-High temperature and high
pressure
Products of thermal cracking - CORRECT ANSWER-High % of alkenes
Conditions for catalytic cracking - CORRECT ANSWER-High temperature, slight
pressure and in the presence of a zeolite catalyst
Products of catalytic cracking - CORRECT ANSWER-Motor fuels and aromatic
hydrocarbons
Why do we crack alkanes? - CORRECT ANSWER-Smaller alkanes/alkenes generally
more useful than longer chain ones
