4–6
What is the PH of a strong acid
1–2
What does the strength of an acid tell you?
Tells you what proportion of acid molecules ionise in water
How do you make an insoluble salt?
To make an insoluble salt you need ions which are in a solutions so that they can move about
What is the equation to work out number of moles?
Mr
What is a mole?
The relative atomic mass of an element is the average mass of an atom compare to the mass of an atom of carbon 12
Uses of a gas syringe in measuring gas volumes
1) might blow plunger off
2) Collects most gases
3) to the nearest centimetre cubed
Uses of an upturned measuring cylinder in gas volumes
1) Bubbles gas
2) no good for hydrogen/chloride/ammonia as they dissolve in water
What is electrolysis
The breaking down of a substance with electricity
What is the equation at the anode?
4OH- - 4e- >O2 + 2H2O
What is the equation at the Cathode?
2H+ + 2e- > H2
How can you increase the amount of substance produced at electrolysis?
If you increase the amount of electrons, you increase the amount of substance produced
How too calculate empirical formula ?
1) List all elements
2) Write there in experimental masses/percentage
3) divide each mass/percentage by the Ar
4) Turn numbers into a ratio
5) get the ratio into simplest form
What does it mean if mass is conserved in a chemical reaction
This means that the mass of reactants is equal to mass of products
What is empirical formula
Empirical formulas give the smallest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound
