Explain the trends in ionisation energies across the 2nd period of the periodic table?

The general trend observed is that ionisation energies increase from left to right across the periodic table. There are 3 primary factors in determining ionisation energies: 1.) Atomic radius- the smaller th...

Why does phenol readily undergo electrophilic substitution but benzene does not without the aid of a catalyst?

Benzene's delocalised π system of electrons makes it not quite electron rich enough for the reaction to take place. The lone pair from the -OH group in phenol adds enough electron density into the ring so th...

A 25 cm3 sample of an unknown concentration of sulfuric acid was titrated against 0.1 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide. The average titre was 20 cm3. Calculate the concentration of the sulfuric acid.

Balanced equation: H 2 SO 4 + 2NaOH → 2H 2 O + Na 2 SO 4 moles of NaOH = c x v = 0.1 mol dm -3 x (20/1000) dm 3 = 0.002 molStoichiometry: H 2 SO 4 :NaOH = 1:2moles of H 2 SO 4 = (0.002 mol)/2 = 0.001 molc=n/...

State and explain whether NaCl and Mg can conduct electricity in both the solid and molten states.

NaCl cannot conduct electricity in the solid state as the ions are held in an ionic lattice and therefore are not free to conduct. NaCl can conduct in the melt as the ions become mobile and therefore are fre...
