What is the formula of Iron(III) Sulphate?

A

Iron’s oxidation number is +3 and SO4 2- has an overall charge of -2.
(+3 x 2) + (-2 x 3) = 6 + -6 = 0 as the overall charge of Iron(III) Sulphate is 0.
Therefore Ratio of Fe:SO4 is 2:3
So the formula is Fe2(SO4)3

A

Formula contains oxygen and chlorine, so chlorate.
Oxygen has ON of -2.
There for Chlorine must have a charge of +3 as it has an overall charge of -1 and Oxygen has a charge of (-2 x 2)= -4
Therefore it is Chlorate (III). As +3 ON.

A

Mg goes from 0 to +2 oxidation number so is oxidised.
H goes from +1 to 0 oxidation number so is reduced.

47
Q

What are the 6 steps for writing half equations?

A
  1. Calculate oxidation states on each side of the equation.
  2. Balance the element changing oxidation state.
  3. Sort out electrons. If oxidation state becomes more negative then it gains electrons. If the oxidation state becomes more positive then electrons are lost.
  4. Sort out Os. For every O gained/lost, add/remove one H2O molecule.
  5. Sort out Hs. For every H gained/lost, add/remove one H+ ion.
    6, Check- if the charge on the left equal the same as the right.
48

Create the half equation for BrO3- —> Br2?

A
  1. Br Oxidation Number goes from (+5) to (0).
  2. 2 Br on the right so need 2 BrO3- on left.
  3. Electrons - 5e- x 2 = 10e- (2x Br become 5 more negative so 10 electrons gained).
  4. 6 more O on left so need 6 H2O on the right.
  5. 12 less H on left so add 12 H+ to left.

Half Equation is 2 BrO3- + 10e- + 12 H+ —> Br2 + 6 H2O

56
Q

What do Titrations allow you to find out?

A

Exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise a quantity of alkali.

57
Q

How does a titration work?

A

You measure out some alkali using a pipette and put in a flask, along with indicator.

58
Q

Explain the practical for a titration.

A
  1. Do a rough titration to get an idea were the end point is, where the alkali is exactly neutralised. To do this, take an initial reading of how much acid is in the burette to start off. Then add acid to the alkali constantly swirling the flask. Stop when the indicator shows a permanent colour change, and record the final reading of your burette.
  2. Now do an accurate titration. Run the acid until till close to the end point and then add the acid drop by drop until the solution change colour.
  3. Work out the amount of acid needed by the final reading minus the initial reading, known as the titre.
  4. Repeat the test to find a mean titre, readings should be within 0.1 cm3 of each other.
59
Q

What is known as the titre and how is it calculated?

A

The volume of acid used to neutralise the alkali.

Initial reading - Final reading

60
Q

Difference between a pipette and burette?

A

Pipette - Measures only one volume of solution.

Burette - Measures different volumes, and let’s you add solution drop by drop.

61
Q

How do you take a reading from the burette?

A

Read from the bottom of the meniscus. Taking the reading to the nearest 0.05 cm3

In between two lines would have a reading of X.X5
On the line the reading would be X.X0

62
Q

What are the two indicators for acid/alkali reactions (Titrations)?

A

Methyl orange - turns YELLOW to RED when adding acid to alkali

Phenolphthalein - turns PINK to COLOURLESS when adding acid to alkali

63
Q

Why is universal indicator not used and methyl orange/phenolphthalein used instead?

A

Universal inductor it’s colour change is too gradual/slow.

These indicators change colour quickly over a very small pH range.

64
Q

What is a standard concentration?

A

A solution of a known concentration.

65
Q

What are the steps to make up a standard solution?

A
  1. Using a balance, weigh out the required mass of a solid.
  2. Transfer to a beaker, use distilled water to wash any bits of solid into the beaker.
  3. Add distilled water to the beaker to completely dissolve the solid using a glass rod to stir the solution.
  4. Transfer solution into a volumetric flask, rinse the glass rod and beaker with water into this aswell.
  5. Use water to fill volumetric flask up to the graduation line. Use a pipette to add final drops so it is accurate.
  6. Put the lid on the flask and turn the flask over to mix the solution.
66
Q

How many dm3 in a litre?

A

1 dm3

67
Q

25.0 cm3 of 0.500 mol dm-3 HCl was used to neutralise 35.0 cm3 of NaOH solution. Calculate the concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution in mol dm-3.

A
  1. First write a balanced equation.
    HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O
  2. No. of moles of HCl = 0.500 x (25.0/1000) = 0.0125 moles
  3. From the equation, you know 1 mole of HCl neutralises 1 mole of NaOH. So 0.0125 moles of HCl must neutralise 0.0125 moles of NAOH.

Conc. of NaOH = n / volume = 0.0125 / (35.0/1000) = 0.36 mol dm-3

68
Q

What is reaction stoichiometry?

A

This is how many moles of one reactant react with how many moles of another reactant.

69
Q

In titration calculation what must you remember to do?

A

Use the balanced equation when working out the concentrations.

70
Q

This equation shows the reaction between sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid:
2 NaOH + H2SO4 —> Na2SO4 + 2 H2O
Given that it takes 19.1 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm-3 NaOH to completely neutralise 25.0 cm3 of the acid, calculate the concentration of the sulfuric acid.

A

n (NaOH) = conc. x volume = 0.200 x (19.1/1000) = 0.00382 moles

Ratio 2:1 for NaOH:H2SO4, so for every 2 moles of NaOH you need 1 mole of H2SO4.
n (H2SO4) = 0.00382 / 2 = 0.00191 mol

Concentration of H2SO4 = 0.00191 / (25.0/1000) = 0.0764 mol dm-3

71
Q

What are polyprotic acids?

A

Acids that donate more than one proton.

72
Q

Types of Polyprotic acids?

A

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4), Carbonic acid (H2CO3), hydrogen Sulfide (H2S).

73
Q

What is the different in moles need for a monoprotic acid, diprotic acid and triprotic acid?

A

You’ll need double the number of moles of base to neutralise a diprotic acid compared to a monoprotic acid.
You’ll need to triple the number of moles of base to neutralise a tripotic acid compared to monoprotic acid.

74
Q

20.4 cm3 of a 0.500 mol dm-3 solution of sodium carbonate reacts with 1.50 mol dm-3 nitric acid. Calculate the volume of nitric acid required to neutralise the sodium carbonate.

A
  1. Write a Balanced Equation.
    Na2CO3 + 2 HNO3 ——> 2 NaNO3 + H2O + CO2
    20.4 cm3 ?
    0.5 mol dm-3 1.5 mol dm-3
  2. n (Na2CO3) = 0.500 x (20.4/1000) = 0.0102 mol
  3. Molar ratio of 1:2 for Na2CO3 : HNO3
    Volume (HNO3) = 0.0204 / 1.50 = 0.0136 dm3 = 13.6 cm3
