26

• Kpa multiplied by 1000 equals Pa • Pa divided by 1000 equals Kpa
27
Define the term empirical formula
Simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
28
what are standard conditions in the ideal gas equation?
25C/ 298K 1atm/ 100kPa
29
write the full word equation of the ideal gas equation
pressure x volume = number of moles x gas constant x temperature
30
Define percentage yield
The % of a product produced by a reaction, compared to a theoretical maximum
31
How would you calculate percentage yield
mass of useful product/ expected mass of useful product x 100
32
What can the percentage yield of a practical be used to investigate
Efficiency of practical techniques and whether reactions proceed are estimated
33
What is molecular formula?
The actual number of atoms present in an element in a compound.
34
Suggest why washing a conical flask with some distilled water does not give an incorrect result
does not react
35
what is crystallization
a separation technique used to separate dissolved solids from a liquid
36
The student used a wash bottle containing deionised water when approaching the end-point to rinse the inside of the conical flask Explain why this improved the accuracy of the titration
• Ensures all ethanedioic acid/sodium hydroxide reactants are in the mixture/solution • Acid/ sodium hydroxide would be in the sides of the flask
37
How do you calculate an empirical formula with decimals?
Multiply it by values until you get all non decimal values for your answer e.g C= 1, H= 1.60 5x1= 5 and 5x1.60=8 C5H8
38
Define limiting factor
Chemical that gets used up because there isn’t enough of it which also limits the amount of product formed
39
Define excess
There is more than enough of this chemical so more will be left over
40
Define theoretical yield
Largest amount of product (maximum yield) that can be made assuming no problems
41
Define actual yield
Amount of product you can make in an experiment (usually less than theoretical yield)
42
Give reasons for why the actual yield is usually less than the theoretical yield
• Human errors-specific • Equipment errors • Side reactions • Reaction didn’t finish • Reaction was reversible
43
What variables can be used to calculate percentage yield and give their equations
• Mass: actual mass/theoretical mass x 100 • Moles: Actual mole/theoretical mole x 100
44
Define atom economy
Percentage value that indicates what % of our reactants are turned into useful products. We can also determine how wasteful a reaction might be
45
List the factors that atom economy can determine?
• How efficiently raw materials are turned into the target product • High atom economy means less waste is produced • This also shows that there is a limited production of by-products that have no use • By-products can be sold • High atom economies minimise environmental impact and saves raw materials and increases sustainability • Determines whether we should make a chemical in a particular way
46
What effect can decrease atom economy
Equilibrium
47
What type of reactions produce 100% atom economy
• When one product is produced
48
Give the formula of atom economy
Mass/Mr of desired product/ total mass/Mr of reactants x 100
49
What decimal point should percentages be in
1 decimal point
50
Silver oxide, Ag2O can be reduced by passing hydrogen gas over the heated oxide. The maximum mass of silver that could be obtained from 2.32g of silver oxide is?
Ag 2O + H2 ->H2O + 2Ag Moles = mass/Mr Mr Ag2O = 232 Moles Ag2O = 2.32/232 = 0.01 2:1 ratio so 0.02 moles of Ag will form Mass = moles x Mr = o.o2 x 108 = 2.16g
51
1 mole of any gas occupies how much volume?
24dm-3
52
How do you calculate which substance is in excess
moles= mass/Mr then compare which is the highest. That is the limiting reagent. This is to understand which substance affects the amount of a particular product formed
53
Explain how time of flight mass spectrometry distinguishes between ions with different masses
• Positive ions are accelerated • And detected • To have a constant kinetic energy • Lighter ion swill end up moving faster • Faster ions arrive first at the detector
54
Why do samples need to be positively charged in time of flight mass spectrometry
So they can be accelerated and detected
55
What are relative masses
Masses of atoms compared to carbon-12
56
What is the difference between relative isotopic mass and relative atomic mass
• Isotopic mass is the mass of an atom of an isotope of an element relative to 1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12 . And it is usually a while number • Relative atomic mass is…. And it’s usually a decimal
57
List the masses that can be measured using a mass spectrometer
• Relative atomic mass • Relative molecular mass • Relative isotopic abundance
58
What is ion drift
The ions renter a region with no electric field, so they just drift through it. Lighter ions will drift through faster than heavier ions
59
What is the difference between electro spray ionisation and electron impact ionisation
• Electron impact ionisation: The mass/ charge ratio of each peak is the same as the relative mass of that isotope because one electron has been knocked off. • Electrospray ionisation: The mass/charge ratio of each peak would be one unit greater than the relative mass of each isotope because an H+ ion would have been added
60
State the type of chemical reaction that occurs when calcium carbonate reacts in a test tube with nitric acid
Neutralisation or acid/base reaction
61
A student was given a task to determine the percentage purity of a sample of salicylic acid. The method used by the student to prepare a solution of salicylic acid is described below. *        0.500 g of an impure sample of salicylic acid was placed in a weighing bottle. *        The contents were tipped into a beaker and 100 cm3 of distilled water were added. *        Salicylic acid does not dissolve well in cold water so the beaker and its contents were heated gently until all the solid had dissolved. *        The solution was poured into a 250 cm3 graduated flask and made up to the mark with distilled water. (a)     Give two additional instructions that would improve this method for making up the salicylic acid solution. (4)
Weigh by difference or rinse weighing bottle and add to beaker Rinse beaker and add washings to graduated flask Invert flask several times to ensure uniform solution Use a funnel to transfer to the flask and rinse the funnel Use a stirrer to prepare the solution and rinse the stirrer
