Q

Group 1 metals and reactivity:

A

The reactivity depends on how easily it is to lose an electron.

Reactivity increases as you go down the periodic table:

1) Outermost electron furthest from the positive nucleas. The force of attraction is weaker. Electron easily lost.
2) Electron shielding - there are more electrons in the inner shells as you go down to repel outermost electron.

Q

What happens when alkali metal reacts with cold water:

A

-They react vigorously

-The reaction produces a hydroxide of the metal and hydrogen gas.
EG:
Sodium + water -> sodium hydroxide + hydrogen gas

-The reactivity increases as you go down periodic table:
Lithium: moves around surface and fizzes furiously

Sodium and potassium: do same but melt from heat of reaction. Potassium - lilac flame can be seen - can ignite the hydrogen gas

Rubidium and Caesium: explode when wet

Q

Halogens and reactivity:

A

Reactivity depends on how easily it is to gain an electron.

Therefore reactivity decreases as you go down the periodic:
As you go down it gets harder to attract electron as shell is further away from positive nucleus.

Q

What are halogen displacement reaction?

A

When a more reactive halogen ‘pushes out’ a less reactive halogen in a reaction.
EG
Chlorine + Potassium Bromide -> Potassium chloride + Bromine

1) The Chlorine will displace the Bromine
2) Chlorine is reduced to ions, so salt solution becomes Potassium Chloride.
3) The Bromide ions are oxidised into Bromine, turning solution orange

Q

What happens when you add Chlorine water (colourless) to:

  • Potassium Chloride solution
  • Potassium Bromide solution
  • Potassium Iodide solution
A

Potassium Chloride (KCl) -colourless : NO REACTION

Q

What are the typical metallic properties of transition metals?

A

3) Their compounds are colourful
Eg -> Compounds containing Fe2+ are usually light green
Fe3+ are usually orange/brown
Cu2+ are usually blue

4) They are often relatively unreactive compared to group 1 and 2 metals

25
Q

Experiment to test the reactivity of metals with acid:

A
  • Place various metals in dilute hydrochloric acid and the faster reaction goes, the more reactive it is (use a stopwatch)
  • When metals react with acid they produce hydrogen gas -> the more hydrogen produced more reactive.
26
Q

Expected results from the metal reactivity test with acid:

A

Most reactive to least:

1) Magnesium - fizz most, burning splint goes of with loud squeaky pop
2) Aluminium
3) Zinc
4) Iron
5) Copper - no fizzing, burning splint doesn’t go out at all

As you go up reactivity series the more reactive metal, the louder the squeaky pop.

27
Q

What is the word equation for metals reacting with water?

What is the word equation for a less reactive metal?

A

Metal + water -> Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

Less reactive metal doesn’t react with water but it does with steam:
Less reactive metal + steam -> metal oxide + hydrogen

28

29
Q

What are metal displacement reactions?

A

-A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal in displacement reaction

  • Accurate, quick and sensitive
  • Quantitative
  • Can be carried out continuously

Disadvantage:
-Expensive equipment
-Specialised training needed
Results need to be compared to other substances

  • Determine the abundance (percentage) of each isotope
  • Gather information about structure and chemical properties of molecules
44
Q

How do you identify the molecular mass of substance from mass spectrogram?

A

The last peak of the graph is the molecular mass.

45
Q

How do you identify a substance from chromatogram?

A

The retention: the time taken for the substance to pass through equipment.

It is the measurement from the peaks to the y axis.

46
