Q

describe a method to make pure, dry crystals of calcium nitrate from a metal oxide and a dilute acid [RP - making salts]

A

-use calcium oxide and nitric acid

Q

in the RP of making copper sulphate crystals, why is copper sulphate heated in an evaporating basin?

A

26
Q

what is oxidation?

A

the gain of oxygen

27
Q

what is reduction?

A

the loss of oxygen

28
Q

what is a redox reaction?

A

where the oxidation and reduction occurs at the same time

29
Q

what type of reaction is this and why:
lead oxide+ carbon -> carbon dioxide + lead

A

a displacement reaction, the carbon displaces the metal oxide to form carbon dioxide

30
Q

what type of oxygen based reaction is this and why:
lead oxide+ carbon -> carbon dioxide + lead

A

reduction reaction, the lead oxide loses its oxygen

31
Q

why is this a redox reaction:
lead oxide+ carbon -> carbon dioxide + lead

A

the lead loses oxygen and the carbon gains it

32
Q

generally, how can we get metals from their ores and why?

A

by reduction with carbon, as it is less reactive than carbon

33
Q

how to we get a metal from a metal carbonate?

A

-heat metal carbonate
-this gives carbon dioxide
-left with metal oxide
-heat this with carbon
-this gives carbon dioxide
-left with metal

34
Q

how do we get a metal from a metal sulphide?

A

-heat metal sulphide in air
-this gives sulphur dioxide
-left with metal oxide
-heat this with carbon
-this gives carbon dioxide
-left with metal

35
Q

how would you get lead from lead sulphide (oxidation)?

A

-heat lead sulphide in air which gives lead oxide and sulphur dioxide
[lead sulphide + oxygen -> lead oxide + sulphur dioxide]
-lead oxide is heated with carbon to give lead and carbon dioxide
[lead oxide + carbon -> lead +carbon dioxide]

36
Q

how would you get copper from copper carbonate (decomposition)?

A

-heat the copper carbonate on its own to give copper oxide and the gas carbon dioxide
[copper carbonate -> copper oxide + carbon dioxide]
-the copper oxide is heated with carbon to give copper and carbon dioxide
[copper oxide + carbon -> copper + carbon dioxide]

37
Q

what state symbol would you use for any liquid that isn’t water?

A

aqueous (aq), typically all acids and alkali would be aqueous

38
Q

what is oxidation?

A

loss of electrons

39
Q

what is reduction?

A

gain of electrons

40
Q

if magnesium went form Mg0 to Mg2+ what happened to magnesium?

A

it became oxidised, it lost electrons as it became positive

41
Q

if copper went form Cu3+ to Cu0 what happened to copper?

A

it became reduced, it gained electrons and became neutral

42
Q

what do half equations show?

A

which elements are oxidised and which one is reduced

43
Q

A formulation is a __________ that has been designed as a useful product. Which word completes the sentence?

A

mixture

44
Q

True or false? A pure substance has a sharp melting and boiling point.

A

true

45
Q

True or false? Impurities in a chemical lead to changes in the melting and boiling point of the chemical.

A

true; If a solid contains impurities, it will melt at a lower temperature and over a range of temperatures.

46
Q

True or false? Pure substances always consist of single elements only.

A

false; Pure substances can be single elements or a single compound.

47
Q

Cleaning agents are complex mixtures of chemical components, each with its own specific purpose. The components have very precise measurements to ensure that the cleaning agent has the right properties. What is a cleaning agent an example of? (Hint: it’s a type of mixture).

A

formulation

48
Q

True or false? A compound can have different Rf values in different solvents.

A

true; Substances have different solubilities in different solvents, so they will be carried different distances during chromatography.

49
Q

What is the missing word? In paper chromatography, the solvent used is known as the __________ phase.

A

mobile

50
Q

When an acid reacts with a base a salt is produced along with another product. Name this product.

A

water

51
Q

what are the products when acid + base?

A

52
Q

What name is given to substances (both soluble and insoluble) such as metal hydroxides and metal oxides that can neutralise acids?

A

Bases neutralise acids.

53
Q

True or false? Only metals above hydrogen in the reactivity series react with acids to make a salt and hydrogen.

A

true; Metals below hydrogen in the reactivity series cannot displace the hydrogen from the acid.

54
Q

what are the key stages of producing any dry crystals?

A

-heat acid
-add oxide until excess and filter
-heat salt solution to crystallizing point
-leave to fully evaporate and pat dry

55
Q

what happens as pH decreases by one unit?

A

the hydrogen ion concentration of the solution increases by a factor of 10

56
Q

is strong/ weak the same as concentrated/dilute?

A

no; strong and weak refers to the amount of substance in a given volume

57
Q

what is the half equation for the production of sodium?

A

Na+ + e- –> Na

58
Q

A

ion

59
Q

what is the alkaline solution produced when aqueous sodium chloride solution is electrolysed?

A

sodium hydroxide

60
Q

what does the reactivity of metal depend upon?

A

its ability to lose electrons and form a positive ion

61
Q

which metals react with water (most to least)?

A

potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium

62
Q

A

potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, carbon, zinc, iron

63
Q

what does titration do?
