Q

what is the procedure for acid-base titrations?

A
  1. burette containing standard solution with initial volume recorded
  2. add known volume of other solution to a flask using volumetric pipette
  3. add small amount of indicator
  4. titrate slowly until indicator changes colour
  5. record final volume

Q

what colour is methyl orange?

A 
acid = red
base = yellow
17
Q

what colour is phenolphthalein?

A 
acid = colourless
base = pink
18
Q

how do you do titration calculations?

A
  1. calculate the amount of standard solution that reacted
  2. deduce the amount of unknown solution
  3. calculate the concentration using the amount and volume used
19
Q

what are the rules about oxidation numbers?

A
  1. uncombined elements are 0
  2. the sum of the no’s in a compound is 0
  3. the sum in an ion = charge of that ion
  4. group 1,2,3 are +1,2,3
  5. fluorine is always -1
  6. hydrogen is usually +1
  7. oxygen is usually -2
  8. chlorine is usually -1
20
Q

what is oxidation?

A

the loss of electrons and increase in oxidation no.

21
Q

what is reduction?

A

the gain of electrons and decrease in oxidation no.
