We know, chemists cannot seem to make up their mind which conditions to use!
In Section 1. Important values, constants and standards of the JC Chemistry Data Booklet,
Room temperature & pressure is defined at 293K and 101325 Pa
Standard temperature & pressure is defined at 273K and 100000 Pa
Use these for your mole calculations and gaseous state calculations!
Not in the data booklet is standard conditions in which Enthalpy Changes and Electrochemistry is often defined in.
Standard conditions is defined at 298K, 100000 Pa and 1 mol dm-3 for ions.
Did you know, at PMC, our JC Chemistry students get a Cheat Sheet Data Booklet which advises them when and how to use these constants effectively?
SO. MANY. TRENDS. in the chapter of Atomic Structure and Periodic Table!
If you happen to forget how the graphs of ionisation energy look like, look no further than Section 2. Ionisation Energies of the JC Chemistry Data Booklet and check out the data across a Period of your choice and see the ‘dips’.
There are in fact two more important inferences that students commonly forget during the exams that can be obtained here.
Well, its a secret we share with PMC JC Chemistry students only. Join us today to learn about them.
HCl is a strong acid so HF is a strong acid too right? RIGHT?
Don’t gaslight yourself. Check out Section 3(a) Bond Energies in Heteronuclear Diatomic Molecules of the JC Chemistry Data Booklet and compare the bond energy of H-F to H-I.
The higher the bond energy, the harder the H-X bond breaks, the less able the acid dissociates to release its proton!
There are at least six concepts we can use Bond Energies to infer if we forget.
PMC JC Chemistry students know them really well which is one reason why they score so well in school exams and A-Levels – more than double the national distinction average every year. Find out more about our programme here!
Get tips on how to use our A Level JC Chemistry Data Booklet to answer exam questions and gain access to exclusive, highly sought-after study materials, containing all you need to master topics such as Redox & Stoichiometry and Chemical Equilibria in JC 1, and Organic Chemistry in JC 2, here at PMC.
