Q

why can ionic solids only be extracted in molten state?

A
  • when solid, ions are in a fixed position and cant move.

- in a liquid state the ions can move around freely to conduct electricity (needed for electrolysis)

Q

why is cryolite added to bauxite when extracting aluminium

A
  • contains Al2O3 which has a v. high melting point.

- lowers the melting point, reducing the amount of energy needed to melt bauxite, reducing the cost of the process

Q

describe the electrolysis of aluminium from its ore

A
  • the molten mixture contains free ions so conducts electricity
  • cathode attracts positive al+3 ions
  • they gain 3 electrons (reduced) and form neutral al atoms which sink to the bottom of the tank
  • anode attracts negative o2- ions
  • they lose 2 electrons (oxidised) making neutral oxygen atoms forming o2 molecules

Q

how do you measure reactivity (method)

A
  • measure temp change of the reaction between the acid/water and metal over a set period of time.
  • the more reactive the metal, the higher the temp change

Q

why is the relative atomic mass of chlorine a decimal?

A
  • chlorine exists as different isotopes (different numbers of neutrons) so the ar is an average.
  • takes into account the diff. masses and amounts of the isotopes that make up the element

Q

state the methods for separating metals from metal oxides in terms of carbon and their reactivity

A
  • electrolysis for metals higher than carbon
  • ‘reduction using carbon’ for metals lower than carbon (as carbon can only take in oxygen from metals less reactive than itself)
29
Q

state general word equation for the reaction btwn an acid and metal and describe what happens in terms of electrons and reactivity

A

acid + metal –> salt + hydrogen

  • metal ion loses electrons forming positive ion
  • the higher the reactivity of the metal the more easily it reacts
30
Q

this is carbon:
12
C
6

what does the bigger and smaller number tell you about carbon

A
  • bigger number is mass number. how many protons and neutrons (12 in total)
  • smaller number is atomic number. tells you how many protons in the atom. protons are equal to number of electrons. 6 electrons and 6 protons

number of neturons = 12-6 = 6

31
Q

chemical formula for ammonia

32
Q

chemical formula for sulfuric acid

33
Q

nitrogen and hydrogen gas react together to form ammonia, write the balanced sybmol for this

A

N2+H2 ==> NH3

N2 + 3H2 ==> 2NH3

34
Q

name the 4 ways you can separte mixtures

A

distillation
fractional distillation
filtration
evaporation

35
Q

what does the group number and the period number tell you about an element

A
  • group number (columns) tells you how many electrons are in the outer shell of the element
  • period number (rows) tell you how many shells are occupied
