Q

Ammonium chloride tube

A

-Making the compound ammonium chloride in a tube is used to illustrate diffusion of gases
-Two gases ammonia and hydrogen chloride diffuse from the ends of the sealed tube
-Where they meet, the compound forms as a white smoke
AMMONIA + HYDROGEN CHLORIDE—-> AMMONIUM CHLORIDE
-Shows that hydrogen chloride molecules must be heavier, as they diffused slower
-If you heat up the tube, the white smoke still forms faster
-because particles move faster and collide more often
-Still forms in the same place because both gases diffuse faster

18
Q

Saturated

A

A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved

19
Q

Suspension

A

A solid floating in a liquid because it cannot dissolve

20
Q

Soluble

A

A substance which can be dissolved

21
Q

Insoluble

A

A substance which cannot be dissolved

22
Q

What is solubility measured in?

A

g per 100g of solvent

23
Q

What does “the solubility of sodium chloride in water is 36.37g/100g” mean?

A

This means that up to 36.37g of sodium chloride can dissolve into 100g of water

24
Q

Solubility can be scaled for different amounts of solvent: 36.37g/100g —>??

A

18.185g can dissolve in 50g of water (just halved)

25
Q

Saturated (solubility curve)

A

-The line= saturated
-Shows the maximum mass of solid which can be dissolved at each temperature

26
Q

Soluble (solubility curve)

A

-Below the line= Soluble
-Less than the maximum mass of solid, so it will all dissolve

27
Q

Insoluble (Solubility curve)

A

-Above the line= Insoluble
-More than the maximum mass of solid, so some of it will dissolve and some won’t
-The mass that dissolves can be found by reading off the line

28
Q

Define a mixture

A

Different substances in the same space, but not chemically combined

29
Q

What is the arrangement of particles in a solid?

A

Regular arrangement

30
Q

What is the arrangement of particles in a liquid?

A

Randomly arranged

A

Vibrate about a fixed position

33
Q

What is the movement of particles in a liquid?

A

Move around each other

34
Q

What is the movement of particles in a gas?

A

Move quickly in all directions

35
Q

What is the closeness of particles in a solid?

A

Very close

36
Q

A
  1. Prepare two beakers, one as a hot water bath and one as an ice bath
  2. Using a small measuring cylinder, measure out 4 cm of distilled water into a boiling tube.
  3. On a balance weigh out 2.6 g of ammonium chloride and add it to the boiling tube
  4. Place the boiling tube into the hot water bath and stir until the solid dissolves
  5. Transfer the boiling tube to the ice bath and allow it to cool while stirring
  6. Note the temperature at which crystals first appear and record it in a table of results
  7. Add 1 cm of distilled water then warm the solution again to dissolve the crystals
  8. Repeat the cooling process again noting the temperature at which crystals first appear
  9. Continue the steps until a total of 10 cm of water has been added
