Q

What is a neutralisation reaction

A
  • H+ ions (aq) ions from the acid react with a base to form a salt and neutral water
  • H+ ions are replaced by metal of ammonium ions from the base

16
Q

What are titrations used for

A
  • finding the concentration of a solution
  • identification of an ynknown chemical
  • finding the purity of a substance - important in medicines ,food and cosmetics
17
Q

What is a concordant result

A
  • results are within 0.1cm3 of each other
18
Q

Decribe how you would prepare a standard solution

A
  • solid weighed accuratley
  • solid is dissolved in a beaker using less distilled water than will bed needed to fill the volumetric flask to the mark
  • this solution is transferred to a volumetric flask the last traces of solution is rinsed into a flask with distilled water
  • flask carefully filled to the graduation line by adding distilled water a drop at a time yntil meniscus lines up exactly with the mark
  • add stop and invert volumetric flask several times to mix up the solution - if not done titration will not be consistent
19
Q

Describe the acid base titration procedure

A
  • add a meaured volume of one solution to a conical flask using a pipette
  • add the other solution to a burette and record intial burette reading nearest 0.05 cm3
  • add a few drop o indication in concial flak
  • run solution in burette into the solution in the conical flak swirling throughout until indicator change to enf point
  • record the final burette reading
  • trial titration carried out firt
  • then titration is repeated until two accurate titres are concordant
20
Q

Decribe the error of the pipette having an air bubble

A

the air could be releaed during titration leading to an error

21
Q

What is an oxidation number

A
  • baed on the set of rules that apply to atoms
  • as the numner of electrons involved in bonding to a different element
22
Q

What are the oxidation rules for elements

A
  • zero for elements
  • each atom in a compound ha an oxidation number
23
Q

What are special case of oxidation numbers

A
  • H in metal hydrides - -1-NaH,CaH2
  • O in peroxides - -1-H2O2
  • O bonded to F - +2-F2O
24
Q

What are redox reactions

A

involves both reduction and oxidation

25
Q

What is reduction

A
  • gain of electrons
  • decrease in oxidation number
26
Q

What is oxidation

A
  • loss of electrons
  • increase in oxidation number
