Q

How to prepare a standard solution

A

Weigh solid accurately
Dissolve solid in beaker using distilled water, less than needed to fill volumetric flask
Transfer solution to volumetric flask
Rinse beaker into flask
Fill flask to graduation line, bottom of meniscus lines up with mark, view from eye level
Slowly invert flask to mix solution

17
Q

How to carry out an acid-base titration

A

Add measured volume of one solution to conical flask using a pipette
Add other solution to burette, record initial reading
Add a few drops of indicator to solution in the conical flask
Run solution in the burette into conical flask, swirl flask throughout.
Indicator changes colour at the end point of the titration.
Record final burette reading, work out titre.
Repeat titration accurately, adding solution drop wise as end point is approached.
Further titrations carried out until 2 accurate titres are concordant (within 0.10cm3)

18
Q

What is the oxidation number for elements

A

0

19
Q

What is the oxidation number for oxygen in compounds

A

-2

20
Q

What is the oxidation number for hydrogen in compounds

A

+1

21
Q

What is the oxidation number for fluorine in compounds

A

-1

22
Q

What is the oxidation number for ions

A

The same as the ionic charge

23
Q

What are the exceptions for the oxidation number rules in compounds

A

Hydrogen is -1 in metal hydrides
Oxygen is -1 in peroxides
Oxygen is +2 when bonded to fluorine

24
Q

What is the sum of oxidation numbers in a compound

A

The total charge

25
Q

Oxidation in terms of electron transfer

A

Loss of electrons

26
Q

A

Gain of electrons

27
Q

Reduction in terms of oxidation number

A

Decrease in oxidation number

29
Q

A

Zn(s) + 2HCl (aq) -> ZnCl2(aq) + H2 (g)

Zinc goes from 0 to +2, oxidation
Hydrogen goes from 1+ to 0, reduction

30
Q

Redox reaction of aluminium with dilute sulfuric acid

A

2Al (s) + 3H2SO4 (aq) -> Al2(SO4)3 (aq) + 3H2 (g)
Aluminium goes from 0 to +3, oxidation
Hydrogen goes from +1 to 0, reduction
