C9 Flashcards
why test for ions must be unique
so results of test can let you determinewhich gas or ion is present rather than being uncertain which one
flame tests to identify diff ionsin solids
litium(red), sodium(yellow0, potassium(lilac), calcium(orange/red), copper(blue/green)
method:
-dip clean wire loop in solid sample of compound
-put loop into edge of blue flame on bunsen
-observe and record fkame colour produced
tests to identify ions in solids or sols
al-white dissolves inj excess sodium hydroxide sol
ca-white ni change in excess sodium hydrox sol
cu-blue
iron(2)-green
iron(3)brown
metyhod=add few droops of sol and ibserve and recvord
ammonium(NH4+)-add few drops then warm gently, ammonia gas produced if ions are presnet
chemical test for ammonia
damp red litmus turns blue
test to identify car sulfate and chloride ii#ons in solid or sol
carb-usedilute acid and identify CO2 evolved
sulfate-dilute hcl barium chloride sol-white precip forms if present
chloride/bromide/iodide(halide)-dilute nitric acid and silver nitrate sol
cl-white precip
br-cream precip
i-yellow precip
instrumental methods of analysis
may improve-speed, sensitivity and accuracy of tests compared to lab tests
they are available
data from a flame phototmeter
conc of ions in dilute sol-identify wqithna calibration curve
to identify metal ions by comparing data with referencer data
formulae of alkanes
general formula= C(small n)H(2n+2) n=number of carbon atoms.
meth=1
eth=2
prop-=3
but=4
why are alkanes saturated hydrocarbons
becasue carbon atoms joiined together by singke bonds
alkense formulae
C(n)H(2n)
but-1-ene and but-2-ene=c(4)H(8)
why alkened unsatirated
contain double carnbon bonds
it is a functional group and responsible for the typical reactions if alkenes
reaction of ethen with brmine
no other procust so addition as combine
double bonds splits to react with other product
distinguish between alkanes and alkenes
orange-brown brimin water
alkane=no change
alkene-water becomes colourless
complete combiustion of alkenes and kanes
produce CO2 and water
oxidation of hydrocarbons
alkenes less likely to combust comoletely than alkanes
plentiful supply of O2
What is a polymer
substance of high average realtive molecular mass made up of small repeating units
