Q

Describe the practical method to find out the formula of a hydrated salt

A

Weigh an Empty crucible

Add hydrated salt into the weighed crucible. Weigh the crucible and the hydrated salt

Using a pipe-clay triangle, support the crucible containing the hydrated salt on a tripod.

Heat the crucible and contents gently for about one minute, then heat strongly for a further three minutes

Leave the crucible to cool. Then weigh the crucible and anhydrous salt

Q

What are two assumptions that have been made during the calculation of Formula of Hydrated salt (Water of Crystallisation)

Q

A student carried out an experiment to calculate the water of crystallisation of two hydrated salts. For the first salt, the student did not remove all the water of crystallisation. For the second salt, the student removed all of the water of crystallisation but unfortunately the salt composed further.

For each salt, explain whether the students calculated value of x, the number of water molecules in the formula unit, would be greater or smaller than the actual value of x in data books

A

The first salt would not lose all H2O so x would appear to be smaller than it should be

The second salt loses more mass than just water so x would appear to be greater than it should be

18
Q

What is the ideal gas equation?

A

pV = nRT

P = Pressure
V = Volume
n = Moles
R = Gas constant = 8.31
T = Temperature in Kelvin

(Worked example page 29)

19
Q

What are the assumptions for the Ideal gas equation?

A

Random Motion
Elastic Collisions
Negligible size
No Intermolecular Forces

20
Q

Describe an experiment to find a relative molecular mass

A

Add sample of volatile liquid to a small syringe via a needle
Weigh small syringe

Inject the Sample into a gas syringe through the self-sealing rubber cap. Reweigh the small syringe to find the mass of the volatile liquid added to the gas syringe.

Place gas syringe in a boiling water bath at 100 degrees C. The liquid vaporises producing a gas. The pressure is recorded.

21
Q

What is Stoichiometry?

A

The balancing of numbers to give the ratio of the amount, in moles, of each substance

22
Q

Describe the method of Identifying an unknown metal

A

Set Up Gas syringe attached to a beaker,

Weigh Sample of metal and add to flask

Using a measuring cylinder, add 25.0cm3 of 1M HCl (dilute) (an excess) to the flask and quickly replace the bung.

Measure the maximum volume of gas in the syringe

(Worked example page 34)

23
Q

What is Theoretical Yield

A

The maximum possible amount of product in a reaction

24
Q

Why is the Theoretical yield so difficult to achieve?

A

The Reaction may not have gone to completion

Other reactions (side reactions) may have taken place alongside the main reaction

Purification of the product may result in loss of some product

Some of the Products may have escaped

25
Q

What is Actual Yield

A

The actual amount of product collected from experiment

26
Q

How would you calculate percentage yield?

A

Percentage yield = Actual yield/ Theoretical yield x 100

(worked example page 35)

27
Q

What is the limiting reagent?

A

The reactant that is not in excess and will be completely used up during he reaction

28
Q

What is Atom economy?

A

A measure of how well atoms have been utilised

29
Q

Why are reactions with high atom economies beneficial?

A

Produce large proportion of desired products and few unwanted waste products

Important for sustainability as they make but use of natural resources

30
Q

How would you calculate atom economy?

A

Atom economy = Sum of molar masses of desired products / Sum of molar masses of all products x 100

(worked example page 36)
