Q

what are the steps of fractional distillation

A

The mixture is slowly heated until the liquid with the lowest boiling point boils and then condenses.
Then we increase temperature slowly to collect (boil then condense) the other fractions.

93
Q

when alkali metals react with chloride, a…

A

A metal chloride is formed (e.g. sodium chloride), which dissolves in water to give a colourless solution.

94
Q

when alkali metals react with water they…

A

The metal floats on the surface and melts to create a metal hydroxide (e.g. lithium hydroxide).
When they react with water, the energy released is enough to melt the metal.

95
Q

As you move down Group 1 of the periodic table, the reactions of alkali metals become

A

quicker and more vigorous

96
Q

As you move down Group 1 of the periodic table, the reactions of alkali metals become quicker and more vigorous. Explain

A

The number of electron shells increases meaning there is a greater distance between the outer electron and the nucleus.
The greater the distance between the outer electron and the nucleus, the weaker the attraction between them.
The weaker the attraction between the outer electron and the nucleus, the easier it is for the outer electron to be lost.

A

115
Q

Why is only half the water evaporated initially in crystallisation for hydrated copper sulfate crystals?

A

The aim of the experiment is to gain hydrated copper sulfate crystals. This means that the crystal itself should have some water in it.
If the solution is boiled dry, even the copper sulfate will lose its water and become dry, i.e. anhydrous copper sulfate.
Anhydrous copper sulfate is a white solid while hydrated copper sulfate is blue.
If a question asks for a hydrated salt, make sure to mention that you do not boil off all the water. Instead, let half the solution evaporate by itself.
