Oxidation number of Sulfur =+6

38
Q

A

NO3-
N= ?
O= -2 -2 -2 (-2 x 3) = -6
The sum of oxidation number should equal the total charge which equals -1 because of NO3- ion.

A

Na2SO4
Na= +1 +1 (+1 x 2) = +2
S= +6
O= -2 -2 -2 -2 (-2 x 4)= -8
Total charge = 0

Systematic name uses the charge of the Sulfur atom (the atom in which you had to find the oxidation number for)
Name: Sodium Sulfate (VI)

40
Q

Identify the Systematic name of ClO-

A

ClO-
Cl=+1
O= -2
Total charge = -1

Name: Chlorate (I)

41
Q

What has been reduced and oxidised?
Mg + Cl2 —> MgCl2

A

Mg + Cl2 —-> MgCl2
0 0 +2 -1
Mg= 0
Cl2= 0
Mg in MgCl2= +2
Cl2 in MgCl2= -1 because -2/2=-1

Therefore,
Oxidised Mg (because there was an increase in oxidation number). From 0 in Mg to +2 in MgCl2
Reduced Cl2 (because there was a decrease in oxidation number). From 0 in Cl2 to -1 in MgCl2.

42
Q

What is a titration?

A

A titration is a technique used to accurately measure the volume of one solution that reacts exactly with another solution.

43
Q

What can titrations be used for?

A

Finding the concentration of a solution
Identification of unknown chemicals
Finding the purity of a substance

44
Q

What is the procedure of an acid-base titration?

A

Add a measured volume of one solution to a conical flask using a pipette and place the conical flask under a white tile.
Add the other solution to a burette and record the initial burette reading to the nearest 0.05cm^3
Add a few drops of methyl orange indicator to the solution of the conical flask
Run the solution in the burette into the solution in the conical flask, swirling the flask throughout to mix the solutions. Once the indicator has changed colour from yellow to orange, the end point of the titration has been reached, this indicates the volume of one solution that exactly reacts with the volume of the second solution.
Record the final burette reading to two decimal points. The volume of solution added from the burette is known as the titre- this is calculated by subtracting the initial from the burette reading.
A quick, trial titration is carried out first to find the approximate titre
The titration is then repeated accurately, until two accurate titres are concordant (within 0.10cm^3)

45
Q

What is important to do when working out the mean titre?

A

It is important to only include concordant titres when calculating the mean.

46
Q

What is the oxidation number of Chloride?

A

-1

47
Q

What is the oxidation number of Chlorine when bonded to Fluorine or Oxygen?

A

When bonded to Fluorine or Oxygen the oxidation number of Chlorine will always be positive because Fluorine and Oxygen are more electronegative.

48
Q

What is disproportionation?

A

When an element undergoes both oxidation and reduction in the same reaction.
For example:

Cl2 + H2O —> HCl + HClO

Cl is oxidised from 0 in Cl2 to +1 in HClO
Cl is reduced from 0 in Cl2 to -1 in HCl

49
Q

What are the roman numerals used for when naming?

A

The roman numerals show the oxidation state (oxidation number) of elements that forms ions with different charges.

50
Q

What is the redox reaction in terms of electrons of
2Fe + 3Cl2 —> 2FeCl3

A

FeCl3 contains positive and negative ions Fe3+ and Cl-
Iron loses electrons and is oxidised
2Fe —-> 2Fe3+ + 6e-
Chlorine gains electrons and is reduced
3Cl2 + 6e- —> 6Cl-

51
Q

How do dilute acids undergo redox reactions?

A

Dilute acids can undergo redox reactions with some metals to produce salts and hydrogen gas.

52
Q

Explain the redox reaction of:
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) —> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)

A

Reactants- Zn= 0 oxidation number
Products-Zn in ZnCl2 = +2 oxidation number

Reactants- H in HCl= +1 oxidation number
Products- H2= 0 oxidation number

Zn is oxidised because it increases from 0 in Zn to +2 in Zn of ZnCl2
H is reduced because it decreases from +1 in HCl to 0 in H2.

53
Q

A

A reaction involving reduction and oxidation

54
Q

What is a reducing agent?

A

An electron donor (gets oxidised in the process)

55
Q

What is an oxidising agent?

Ammonia

60
Q

What is the redox reaction of an acid + metal?

=Fe2O3

62
Q

What is a standard solution?

A

A solution of known concentration made in a volumetric flask.

63
Q

Calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide needed to make 250cm^3 of 0.125 moldm^-3 standard solution.

A

Concentration= mole/volume
250cm^3/1000= 0.25dm^3
0.25 x 0.125 = 0.03125 moles

Moles=mass/Mr
NaOH- (23.0 + 16.0 + 1.0)= 40.0
0.03125 x 40.0 = 1.25g of Sodium Hydroxide

64
Q

How would you prepare a Standard Solution?

A

Zero a 2 d.p balance and weigh the solid accurately.
Dissolve the solid using a small volume of distilled water
Using a funnel, transfer the solution to a 250cm^3 volumetric flask
Rinse out the beaker with distilled water into the volumetric flask.
Make the solution up with distilled water to the meniscus of the graduation mark
Place a stopper on the volumetric flask and invert slowly several times to thoroughly mix.

65
Q

A student suggested that the same salt could also be made by reacting potassium metal with sulphuric acid,
Suggest why this is not the preferred method.

A

Potassium is highly reactive with acid
