Q

How do you use RFM to show mass is conserved?

A

Mr of reactants = Mr of products
Q1) Use relative formula mass to show mass is conserved in : 2Li + F2 -> 2LiF

Mr of reactants = (2 x 6.9) + (2 x 19) = 51.8
Mr of Products = (2 x 6.9) + (2 x 19) = 51.8

Q

How do you balance equations?

A

Make sure there are the same amount of elements on one side of the equation than on the other side.

Eg : H2SO4 + NaOH -> Na2SO4 + H20
H = 3 H = 2
S = 1 S = 1
0 = 5 O = 5
Na = 1 Na = 2

H2SO4 + 2NaOH -> Na2SO4 + 2H20
H = 4 H = 4
S = 1 S = 1
0 = 6 O = 6
Na = 2 Na = 2

Q

What is bond breaking?

A

Bond breaking is when energy is absorbed to break bonds in reactants.
Bond breaking is endothermic

22
Q

What is bond making?

A

Bond making is when energy is released when new bonds are formed.
Bond making is exothermic

23
Q

What is the energy change equation?

A

Overall energy equation = energy required to break bonds - energy released to make bonds

24
Q

How do you know if a chemical reaction is exothermic or endothermic in terms of bond energies?

A

If overall energy is negative it is exothermic
-This means more energy is released in bond making than absorbed in bond breaking

If overall energy is positive it is endothermic.
-This means more energy is absorbed in bond breaking than released in bond making

25
Q

Acids:

A
  • Acids go from pH 1 - 6

- They contain H(+) Ions

26
Q

Alkali:

A
  • Alkali go from pH 8-14

- They contain OH(-) ions

27
Q

What do acid and alkali do when added to each other? + Equation

A

They neutralise each other

EQUATION FOR NEUTRALISATION
H(+) + OH(-) -> H20

28
Q

What is a strong acid?

A

Strong acids ionise completely in water and have low pH (acidic)

29
Q

What is a weak acid?

A

Weak acids partially ionise in water and tend to have higher acid pH (2-6)

30
Q

What is a concentrated and diluted acid?

A

Concentrated acids contain lots of H(+) Ions in a fixed volume

Dilute acids contain less H+ in that fixed volume

31
Q

What is concentration?

A

Refers to the number of ions in a fixed volume

32
Q

How does changing concentration affect pH

A
  • Increasing H(+) by factor of 10, decreases pH by 1 (more acidic)
33
Q

5 Acid reaction equations:

A

1) Acid + Metal oxide-> Salt + water
2) Acid + Metal hydroxide -> Salt + water
3) Acid + Alkali -> Salt + Water
4) Acid + Metal -> Salt + Hydrogen
5) Acid + Metal carbonate -> Salt + Water + Carbon dioxide

34
Q

What is a redox equation?

A

When oxidation and reduction occurs in a reaction.
Eg) Fe2O3 + 3CO -> 2Fe + 3CO2
Fe2O3 reduced to 2Fe
3CO oxidised to 3CO2

35
Q

What is oxidation?

A

Oxidation is the loss of electrons

Oxidation is the gain of oxygen

36
Q

What is reduction?

A

Reduction is the gain of electrons

Reduction is the loss of oxygen

37
Q

What is the oxidising agent?

A

It gets reduced (gains electrons or loses oxygen)

38
Q

What is the reducing agent?

A

It gets oxidised (loses electrons or gains oxygen).

39
Q

How do you make salts such as copper sulphate crystals?

A

Sulphuric acid + copper oxide -> Copper sulphate + water

1) Add reactants and stir making sure copper oxide is in excess
2) Filter off excess copper oxide
3) Leave filtrate to evaporate in dish and it will concentrate and crystallise

40
Q

What is the definition of electrolysis?

A

Electrolysis: The break down of molten or dissolved ionic compounds by electricity to form pure substance

41
Q

What are the electrodes and ions in electrolysis?

A

Cathode (-) attracts cations (+)

Anode (+) attracts anions (-)

42
Q

Electrolysis for molten compounds?

A
  • Positive ions (cations) attract cathode and gain electrons (reduced)
  • Negative ions (anions) attract to anode and lose electrons (oxidised)
43
Q

What happens at anode in electrolysis with dissolved compounds?

A
  • If halogen (F-,Cl-,Br-,I-) present halogen is produced.

- If Halogen not present (SO4,NO3,CO3) than oxygen is produced

44
Q

What happens at cathode in electrolysis with dissolved compounds?

A
  • If more reactive than hydrogen (K,Na,Ca,Mg,Zn,Fe,Pb) than hydrogen is produced
  • If less reactive than hydrogen (Cu,Ag, Au) than metal produced
45
Q

What the test for oxygen?

A

Glowing splint reignites

46
Q

What is the test for hydrogen?

A

Burning splint goes off with a squeaky pop

47
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide?

A

When passed through limewater and makes it cloudy

48
Q

What is the test for Chlorine

A

Chlorine bleaches damp litmus paper

49
Q

Why are inert electrodes in electrolysis used?

A

They are used as they do not interfer with the reactions happening on the surface of the electrode as they are unreactive.

50
Q

How many particles, atoms, molecules or ions are there is one mole?

A

6.02 x 10^23

51
Q

What is an electrolyte?

A

The molten or dissolved ionic compound is an electrolyte.

52
Q

What is molar mass?
