23
Q

When reacting iron and copper sulphate, which iron is used? 1.1.7

A

Copper (II) sulphate

24
Q

What are the possible sources of errors when reacting iron and copper sulphate? 1.1.7

A

•Didn’t decant 3 times•Not getting all of the copper out of the beaker•Copper or iron sulphate could have been left on the filter paper

25
Q

What is the volume of 1 mole?

A

24dm(3)

26
Q

Why is 24dm(3) a good approximation for the volume of a gas at room temperature?

A

The size of the molecules do not have a major effectNearly all of a gas at R.T.P is space

27
Q

What is the equation for working out number of moles in a gas?

A

Volume gas dm(3)/ volume of 1 mole 24dm(3)

28
Q

What is 1 dm(3) in cubic cm?

A

1000

29
Q

What is ‘the Water of Crystallisation’?

A

When metal salts crystallise from aqueous solutions they trap water molecules within the crystal lattice

30
Q

What has to be taken into account when weighing crystals?

A

The Water of Crystallisation

31
Q

What is stoichiometry and how do you find it out?

A

The ratio of salt to to water moleculesLook it up as it’s not predictable

32
Q

What is the definition for empirical formula?

A 
The simplest formula of for a compound showing the whole number ratio of the number of atoms of each element present
Butane C(2)H(5)
33
Q

What does the molecular formula tell you?

A

How many atoms bonded together in one molecule

For butane C(4)H(10)

34
Q

What is structural formula?

A 
Representation of the molecular structure, showing how atoms are arranged and bonded
Butane CH(3)CH(2)CH(2)CH(3)
35
Q

What does the displayed formula show you?

A 
All the bonds in the molecule as individual lines
Methane

36
Q

What is the definition of an element?

A

A substance that cannot be broken down chemically into simpler substances

37
Q

What are spectator ions?

A

Ions that appear in exactly the same way on each side of the equation

38
Q

How do you work out how many atoms there are in a certain mass of a substance?

A

Divide mass of each element by its molecular mass

Times by Avogadro’s constant

39
Q

What does STP stand for?

A

Standard temperature and pressure

1atm 298K gases at 24dm(3)

40
Q

What does the overall ionic equation not include?

A

Spectators

41
Q

What is a solution?

A

A solute (solid, liquid or gas) dissolved in a solvent

42
Q

What is the units for concentration?

A

Moldm(3)

43
Q

How do you make a solution of accurate concentration?

A

Dissolve the way to sell you in a small quantity of solvent

Add more solvent until the solution is the right volume

44
Q

What does molarity mean?

A

Another word for concentration in moles per decimetre cubed

45
Q

What is a molar solution?

A

A solution of concentration 1moldm(-3)

46
Q

What are parts per million (ppm) of often used for?

A

Levels of pollutants in the air or water

47
Q

Why is the percentage yield of experiments rarely 100%?

A 
Reactants may not be pure
Equilibrium reaction
Product left behind an apparatus
Volatile products may evaporate
Human error
48
Q

What does good atom economy mean?

A

The reaction is very efficient at turning reactants into desired products with little waste

49
Q

What is the definition of a mole?

A

The amount of substance that contains as many particles are as there are in exactly 12 g of carbon 12

50
Q

What is molar volume?

A

One mole of any gas must occupy the same volume under the same conditions

51
Q

Why is relative atomic mass used for ions?

A

Atoms lose all gain electrons which have no mass

52
Q

What does relative molecular mass (Mr) mean?

A

The sum of the relative atomic masses in covalent compounds

53
Q

How can you experimentally work out the proportions in which compounds react together?

A
54
Q

What is Avagadro’s law?

A

Equal volumes of all gases contain equal numbers of molecules provided that they are at the same temperature and pressure
