A
  • Use chemicals that cause minimal harm to people and the environment.
  • Use chemicals that can be broken down into non-toxic substances that aren’t persistent in the environment.
43
Q

Titration can be used to calculate the concentration of an acid by finding out how much alkali is needed to neutralise it. Explain how this method works.

A

1. Fill a burette with an alkali of known concentration and take an initial reading.

  1. If you have been given a solid acid, accurately weigh out a sample of it and dissolve it in an accurately measured volume of distilled water.
  2. Use a glass pipette to measure the aqueous acid into a conical flask. This allows you to know the precise amount of acid used. A white tile should be placed under this flask.
  3. Add a few drops of the indicator phenolphthalein (It should stay colourless).
  4. Add alkali from the burette to the acid in the flash drop by drop.
  5. Swirl the flask to mix it well. Near the end of the reaction, the indicator will start to turn pink. Only when it changes colour permanently, it means the acid has been neutralised.
  6. Record the volume of alkali added by subtracting the initial reading from the final reading.
  7. Repeat the experiment until you get concordant results (+-0.1cm3) to ensure accuracy.

N.B: This can be inversed to find the concentration of an alkali.

44
Q

A relationship is set up between the stationary and mobile phase in chromatography - what is this called?

A

A dynamic equilibrium, set up for each component of the sample.

45
Q

What is meant by a dynamic equilibrium?

A

The point at which the forward and backward reactions happen at the same rate, therefore the concentration of the products and reactants doesn’t change.

46
Q

What is the standard procedure of storing samples?

A

Containers should be:

  • Clean and sterile.
  • Sealed.
  • Labelled.
  • Stored in a safe place.

This improves reliability, since there’s less room for human error.

47
Q

What are the uses of alcohols (Methanol and Ethanol).

A

Methanol

  • As a chemical feedstock.
  • In the manufacture of cosmetics.

Ethanol

  • As a solvent.
  • As a fuel.
48
Q

Explain how ethanol can be produced through fermentation.

A

N.B: This is how ethanol for use in alcoholic drinks is produced.

  1. Water and yeast are mixed with natural sugars at just above room temperature.
  2. Enzymes found in the yeast catalyse the formation of ethanol and carbon dioxide.
  3. The carbon dioxide is allowed to escape from the reaction vessel, but air is prevented from entering it.

Note that the concentration of ethanol is limited by the amount of sugar in the mixture and the fact that above a certain concentration, the ethanol kills the yeast. The concentration can be increased by distillation, a process also used to produce spirits such as whisky and brandy.

49
Q

What is the method for preparing esters?

A
  1. Add the correct carboxylic acid and alcohol to a round-bottom flask, along with a few drops of concentrated sulfuric acid.
  2. Fit a condenser vertically to the flask and heat the mixture strongly. This is called ‘heating under reflux’ because the vapours that evaporate are cooled and condense back into the flask.
  3. The condenser is rearranged so that the mixture can be heated gently and the ester is then distilled off as a gas from the reacting mixture.
  4. The distillate is transferred to a separating funnel where aqueous sodium carbonate is added in order to neutralise any remaining acid. The remaining acid is moved to the aqueous layer (The lower, more dense layer of the two liquids) and the ester is left in the upper organic layer.
  5. The organic layer is then transferred to a flask and solid anhydrous calcium chloride is added to remove any remaining water. The calcium chloride is removed by filtration and a final distillation is then performed to obtain the pure ester.
50
Q

__________ analysis is any method used to measure the amount of chemicals in a substance.

A

Quantitative analysis is any method used to measure the amount of chemicals in a substance.

51

A

Carboxylic acids generally have unpleasant smells.

56
Q

Compare the properties of alcohols with shorter chain lengths to those with longer chain lengths.

A

Short chain length

  • e.g: Methanol.
  • Low b.p - weak intermolecular forces.
  • Infinitely soluble up to propanol (After ethanol), then solubility decreases.

Long chain length

  • e.g: Octanol.
  • High b.p - strong intermolecular forces.
  • Less soluble in water - behaves more like an alkane.
  • Low density - floats on top of water (N.B: Shorter chain lengths have lower density, but the first 3 alcohols will dissolve in water - you don’t need to know why because it’s complicated).
57
Q

Several companies now develop materials from plants, what are the problems with this?

A
  • Lots of land is used.
  • Fertilisers use up a lot of energy during manufacture, and energy use should be minimised.

What is the standard reaction for alcohols with sodium?

A

Alcohol + Sodium –> Sodium (alcohol)oxide + Hydrogen

e.g:

Ethanol + Sodium –> Sodium ethanoxide + Hydrogen

2C2H5OH(l) + 2Na(s) –> 2C2H5O-Na+(s) + H2(g).

65
Q

Explain how ethene can be produced, and how this can be used to produce ethanol through chemical synthesis.

A
  1. Crude oil undergoes fractional distillation.
  2. Long-chain hydrocarbons (alkanes) are vaporised and then cracked using a catalyst and heat.
  3. The molecules are purified using fractional distillation.
  4. The ethene that’s produced can be used for a feedstock and the remaining water is removed.
  5. Etene is then reacted with steam at a high temperature and pressure in the presence of a catalyst to produce ethanol: C2H4(g) + H2O(g) –> C2H5OH(g). Any unreacted products are recycled and used as the input.
66
Q

69
Q

Animal fats are usually saturated/unsaturated molecules.

What are the properties of these molecules?

A

Animal fats are usually saturated molecules.

Properties

  • Single C-C bonds.
  • Unreactive.
70
Q

Describe activation energy in terms of breaking/making bonds in exo/endothermic reactions.

A

In a chemical reaction, the bonds in the reactants must be broken and new bonds made to form the products.

The activation energy is the energy needed to break bonds to start a reaction.

  • Breaking bonds is an endothermic process.
  • Making bonds is an exothermic process.

In other words, chemical reactions that absorb more energy to break the bonds in the reactants than is released when new bonds are made in the products, are endothermic.

On the other hand, chemical reactions in which more energy is released when new bonds are made than was absorbed to break the old bonds, are exothermic.

72
Q

What is atom economy?

A

A measure of the amount of reactants that end up as useful products.

73
Q

What is precision.

A

Precision is what we call repeatability.

It’s a measure of the spread of the measured values. A large spread leads to greater uncertainty.

74
Q

How are chemical accidents prevented?

A

By choosing substances that will minimise the risk of such accidents.

75
Q

What are alkanes?

A

A group of hydrocarbons where the carbon atoms are joined by single carbon-carbon bonds. They are saturated hydrocarbons for this reason.

76
Q

Chemists can also use Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC) - how is this different and what are the advantages of using it?

A

TLC uses a stationary phase of a thin layer of absorbent material, such as silica gel. This is supported on a flat, unreactive surface, such as a glass plate.

Advantages

  • Faster runs.
  • More even movement of the mobile phase through the stationary phase.
  • A choice of different absorbencies for the stationary phase.

This is why TLC usually produces better separations for a wider range of substances.

77
Q

What are the optimum conditions for biotechnology?

A
  • Temperature between 25-37oC.
  • Optimum pH level should remain constant.

This prevents the denaturing of enzymes.

80
Q

What are the 4 stages of Gas Chromatography?

A
  1. Dissolve your sample into a solvent, which is injected into one end of the glass column (The column is actually wound into a coil in most cases so that it fits into the oven).
  2. An unreactive gas - usually nitrogen - carries the sample through the column.
  3. Different substances in the sample travel through the column at different speeds due to their different solubilities, and so become separated from each other.
  4. The separated substances leave the column one after the other. As they leave, they are detected by a detector.
81
Q

What is accuracy?

A

How close a result is to its true value.

82

83
Q

In Gas Chromatography, what is the mobile phase?

A

The carrier gas - usually nitrogen.

84
Q

When interpreting titration results, you may be asked to use relative formula masses. How would you do this?

e.g: A titration is carried out and 35cm3 of sulfuric acid of concentration 60g/dm3 neutralises 25cm3 of sodium hydroxide. Calculate the concentration of sodium hydroxide.

To save you having to look it up, I will give the RFM’s:

  • H2SO4 - 98.
  • NaOH - 40.
A

1) Work out the RFM’s of the acid and alkali.
2) Write down the equation. This allows you to calculate the mass of acid which reacts with the mass of alkali.
3) Work out the mass of the acid (Known concentration) used in the titration using your rearranged equation Mass = Concentration * Volume.
4) Work out the mass of alkali (Unknown) used in the reaction.
5) Work out the concentration using your equation for concentration - if you need a reminder, it’s Concentration = Mass/Volume.

Solution to example

1) H2SO4 = 2+32+(4*16) = 98.

NaOH = 23+16+1 = 40.

2) H2SO4 + 2NaOH –> Na2SO4 + 2H2O.
3) Mass = Concentration * Volume.

60g/dm3 * (35cm3/1000)

=2.1g.

4) If 98g of sulfuric acid reacts with 80g of sodium hydroxide, then 2.1g reacts with 2.1/98 * 80g = 1.7g of sodium hydroxide.
5) Concentration = Mass/Volume.
1. 7/(25cm3/1000)

=68g/dm3.

85
Q

What is a chromatogram? How are they used?

A

A chromatogram is what’s formed when the chemicals come out of solution and bind to the stationary phase.

They are compared to standard reference materials (Other chromatograms) of known substances to identify the different chemicals.

86
Q

What are alkenes?

A

Another group of hydrocarbons that have reactive C=C double bonds. They’re described as unsaturated.

87
Q

Name some mistakes that could occur when gathering results during an experiment.

A

Any of the following:

  • Misreading a scale.
  • Forgetting to fill up a burette to the correct level.
  • Taking a thermometer out of the solution to read the scale.
  • Any other acceptable answer.
88
Q

Explain the method to achieve a standard solution.

Example to try:

How would I make 250cm3 of standard solution with a concentration of 100g/dm3?

A

N.B: You are required to use the equation Concentration (g/dm3) = Mass (g) / Volume (dm3).

  1. Find out the mass you need to measure.
  2. Measure out (the mass) 25g of the solid sample in a beaker.
  3. Fill the beaker with enough distilled water to dissolve the solid - but don’t go over the volume you want yet.
  4. Use a short-stem funnel and transfer the contents of the beaker into a volumetric flask. Wash the funnel and beaker with distilled water, and pour the washings into the flask.
  5. Place the flask on a level surface, and fill until the solution reaches (the volume) 250cm3.
  6. Invert the flask to mix the contents and ensure an even concentration throughout.

You should be given the volume/mass, but if not default to 5g and 100cm3, as from the revision guide.

89
Q
