Chap 6 F4 Flashcards
3 methods to determine end point of titration
- indicator such as….
- measure ph value
- measure electrical conductivity
2 effects of acid rain
- reduce the acidity of water in lakes-kill the aquatic animals
- increases acidity of soil -not fertile
- corrode buildings
2 ways to prevent acid rain
use alternative source of energy such as solar energy
-use catylytic coverter (filter air)
Why aqueous ethanoic acid can conduct e but glacial cannot?
1.The ethanoic acid molecules in an aqueous solution ionise to form hydrogen ions and ethanoate ions.
treeth The ions enable the aqueous solution to conduct electricity.
• Glacial ethanoic acid exists as molecules
only.
• The absence of free ions in the glacial ethanoic acid causes it to be unable to conduct electricity.
How voltaic cell with copper and zinc with (Ag no3 as electrolyte works)?
1.Cu more electropositive then copper
• As a result, copper undergoes oxidation by losing electrons to the silver electrode. • The half-equation for the reaction is
Cu Cu²+ + 2e¯
• Silver ion in the silver nitrate solution is reduced by receiving electrons at the silver electrode.
The half-equation for the reaction is
Ag+ e → Ag • The flow of electrons causes the voltmeter to register a reading
