Q

What is the ideal gas equation?

A

pV = nRT

20
Q

What is the value of R, the gas constant?

A

8.31 J k-1 mol-1

21
Q

In the ideal gas equation, what is the volume recorded in?

A

m^3

22
Q

What is a hazard?

A

Anything that has potential to cause harm or damage

23
Q

What is the risk associated with a hazard?

A

The probability of someone being harmed if they are exposed to the hazard

24
Q

What is a risk assesement?

A

Working out how likely it is that something could go wrong, and then thinking of ways to reduce the risk

25
Q

Why do we do titrations?

A

To work out the amount of an acid i required to neutralise an alkali

26
Q

What is the use of a pipette

A

To measure the exact volume of a solution

27
Q

What is the use of a burette?

A

A device which allows you to measure different volumes and add the solution drop by drop

28
Q

Why do you start with a rough titration?

A

To get an idea of where abouts the end point is

29
Q

What is the titre?

A

The amount of acid used to neutralise the alkali

30
Q

How long should you repeat the titration for?

A

Until you get answers that are concordant (similar to each other).

31
Q

What do indicators do?

A

They change colour very quickly over a small pH change

32
Q

What does the indicator methyl orange do when adding acid to alkali?

A

Turns yellow to red

33
Q

What does the indicator phenolphthalein do when adding acid to alkali?

A

It turns red to colourless

34
Q

Why is it best to do a titration on a white surface?

A

So the colour change is easy to see

35
Q

Why are universal indicators not very useful in titrations?

A

Because the colour changes gradually over a wide pH range

36
Q

What is the formula of hydroxide?

A

OH-

37
Q

What is the uncertainty?

A

The amount of error you might have in a measurement

38
Q

What is the percentage uncertainty?

A

(Uncertainty / reading ) X 100

39
Q

What is the best way to reduce percentage uncertainty?

A

Use more precise equipment and use more volume of a liquid

40
Q

What are systematic errors?

A

Errors caused by the set-up or equipment used

41
Q

What are random errors?

A

Errors that make the result a little bit different each time

42
Q

What is the best way to deal with random errors?

A

Repeat the experiment a few times and find a mean value

43
Q

How do you find the total percentage uncertainty?

A

Add up all the individual uncertainties together

44
Q

What is the percentage?

A

(actual yield / theoretical yield) X 100

45
Q

What is the atom economy?

A

A measure of the efficieny of a reaction

46
Q

How do you calculate the atom economy?

A

( Molar mass of desired product / molar mass of all products ) X 100

47
Q

What is an addition reaction?

A

A reaction where the reactants form only 1 product
