Question 15

What is the mass number of Carbon?

What is the atomic number of Carbon?

Answer 15

12

6

Question 16

Nitinol is a…

Answer 16

Shape memory alloy

Question 17

What can nitinol be used for?

Answer 17

Glasses frames

Dental braces

Question 18

What’re fullerenes? What’re they found in?

Answer 18

Fullerenes are molecules of carbon, shaped like hollow balls or closed tubes - arranged in hexagonal rings

They are found in nanoparticles

Question 19

What happens when you melt and cool thermosoftening polymers and why?

Answer 19

They’re easily melted, and when coiled, harden into the new shape

This is because they don’t have cross-lining between the chains of polymers

Question 20

What happens when you hear and cool thermosetting polymers and why?

Answer 20

The polymer doesn’t soften when heated - they’re strong, hard and rigid

This is because they have string intermolecular forces between polymer chains - called crosslinks

Question 21

What is Mr?

Answer 21

Relative formula mass

Question 22

What is Ar?

Answer 22

Relative atomic mass

Question 23

What is a mole?

Answer 23

The relative formula mass (Ar or Mr) of a substance in grams

Question 24

Number of moles =

Answer 24

 Mr (of substance)

Question 25

Nitinol is a…

Answer 25

Shape memory alloy

Question 26

What can nitinol be used for?

Answer 26

Glasses frames

Dental braces

Question 27

What’re fullerenes? What’re they found in?

Answer 27

Fullerenes are molecules of carbon, shaped like hollow balls or closed tubes - arranged in hexagonal rings

They are found in nanoparticles

Question 28

What happens when you melt and cool thermosoftening polymers and why?

Answer 28

They’re easily melted, and when coiled, harden into the new shape

This is because they don’t have cross-lining between the chains of polymers

Question 29

What happens when you hear and cool thermosetting polymers and why?

Answer 29

The polymer doesn’t soften when heated - they’re strong, hard and rigid

This is because they have string intermolecular forces between polymer chains - called crosslinks

Question 30

What is Mr?

Answer 30

Relative formula mass

Question 31

What is Ar?

Answer 31

Relative atomic mass

Question 32

What is a mole?

Answer 32

The relative formula mass (Ar or Mr) of a substance in grams

Question 33

Number of moles =

Answer 33

 Mr (of substance)

Question 34

Percentage mass of an element in a compound =

Answer 34

Mr (of whole compound)

x100

Question 35

How do you find the empirical formula

Answer 35

Experimental masses/Ar in its simplest ratio

Question 36

How do you calculate masses in reactions?

Answer 36

1) write out valences equation
2) work out Mr of the boys you want
3) find how much 1g makes, then multiply relatively to the question to find how much Xg makes

Question 37
