Atomic Structure and periodic table Flashcards
How can you separate a soluble solid from a liquid?
- Evaporation
- Crystallisation
What is filteration?
Separating insoluble solids from liquid
Problems with evaporation
- Can cause solids to decompose when heated
- Called thermal decomposition
What does filter paper have?
small holes that are large enough to allow liquid particles to move through, but too small to allow solids through. This separates the solids from the liquids in filtration.
What is simple distillation?
Separates liquid from solution
Equipment for simple distillation
- Flask w/ solution
- Bund on flask
- Thermometer through bung
- Condensor with water jacket (cold)
- Beaker to capture
- Bunsen burner under flask
What is fractional distillation?
Separating mixtures of liquids
What does a fractionating column have?
- Full of glass rods - prodive large SA
- Tall - cooler at top than bottom
Compared to group 1, how are the transition elementd?
- Harder
- Stronger
- High melting points (not mercury)
- Higher densities
- Les reactive and dont react as vigourosly with o2 or water
Propertie of chromium
- Lustrous
- Brittle
- hard metal
Properties of manganese
- Hard
- Very brittle
- Difficult to fuse
- Easy to oxidise
Properties of iron
- Good conductor
- Rusts easily in air
- Strong
- Ductile
- Malleable
Typical properties of transition metals
- Useful as catalysts
- Form coloured compounds
- Have ions with many diff charges
- Hard and strong metals
- High density
- High melting points
- Less reactive than group 1
Properties of copper
- Highly ductile
- Conductive
- Malleable and soft
Properties of nickel
- Hard malleable
- Ductil
- Good conductor of heat and elect.
Uses of Gold and why
- Jewellery - doesnt react with air or water at room temp, malleable
- Electrical connectors
Properties of cobalt
- Brittle
- Hard high melting point
Uses of silver and why
- Jewellery - doesnt react with air or water at room temp
- Printed circuit boards and electrical contacts
Uses of copper and why
- Electrical wires
- Printed circuit boards
- Water pipes - doesnt react with water at room temp, can be hammered into a shape
Uses of iron and why
- Building material like bridges, buildings, ships,cars - strong, sheets easil shaped, cheaper than other metals
- Catalyst in the chemicl industry eg Haber process - increases rate of certain reactions, unchanged
Uses of chromium and why
- To coat other metals like iron on cars and bicycles - stays shiny when polished, resistant to corrosion
- Catalyst in the chemical industry - increases rate of reaction
Features of group 1 alkali metals
- Soft metals
- low melting points
- low density
- reactive rapidly with o2, chlorine and water
- form 1+ charge
