3.1-3.4 Flashcards
How are ions created
- when electrons are transferred from one atom to another
How would you describe hydrated salts
- salts with water
How would you describe anhydrous salts
- salts without water
How would you describe water and how does this make it a good solvent
- polar
- this makes it a good solvent as the delta negative oxygen is attracted to the positive ions and the delta positive hydrogen is attracted to the negative ions
What is the term used to describe water molecules existing within crystal structures
- water of crystallisation
How do we write an equation for every mole of salt you have for a certain number of moles of water of crystallisation
. XH2O
Describe the experiment that is carried out to work out the value of water crystallisation
1) heat the salt which removes the water from the crystals
2) and you are left with an anhydrous salt
1.88g of hydrates CaSO4.xH2O was heated until there was no more water of crystallisation was left in the sample. The mass of this anhydrous compound is 1.13g. Work out the value of x (the amount of water of crystallisation)
Moles of water of crystallisation= 5
CaSO4.5H2O
What do ionic equations show
- the ions that are formed in solution and which particles are reacting
Define the term mole
- a way of measuring the amount of a substance
What is Avogadro’s number
6.02 x 10 ^23
How many molecules is 1 mole of H2O
6.02 x 10^23 molecules of H2O
How many molecules is 1 mole of Fe
6.02 x 10^23 molecules of Fe
How do you calculate the number of particle in a substance
Using:
Avogadro’s number x number of moles
How many particles make up 0.67 moles of NH3
Avogadro’s number x Number of moles
=> 6.02 x 10^23 x 0.67
Number of particles= 4.03 x 10^23
