27
Q

is an alloy a mixture? why?

A

yes because of the totally variable proportions

28
Q

what is the differences in proportions between mixtures and compounds

A

A compounds proportions never vary

In a mixture the portions vary

If you wanted to mix some silvery zinc metal with some yellow sulphur, you could use any proportions

in zinc sulphide the proportions of zinc and sulphur have to be the exact same

29
Q

what is the differences in properties between mixtures and compounds

A

in elements, each element has its own properties, but the properties of the compound are different

a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen would explode when you put it in a flame

a compound of hydrogen and oxygen to make water would put out a flame

30
Q

what is the differences in ease of separation between mixtures and compounds

A

mixture can be separated by physical means

e.g. change in temperature, or dissolving part of the mixture in a solvent like water, things that do not involve chemical reactions

compounds have to be separated by chemical reactions

e.g. electrolysis

31
Q

what is the differences in energy change between mixtures and compounds

A

there is little to no energy changes when making a mixture

there is greater energy changes when making a compound

32
Q

explain why hydrogen is gas at room temperature

A

hydrogen is a simple molecule and so has weak intermolecular forces between its molecules

these weak forces break at room temperature

33
Q

hydrogen chloride has a …… molecular structure

there are …. forces between the ….

because of this, hydrogen chloride has a ….. boiling point

A

hydrogen chloride has a simple molecular structure

there are weak forces between the molecules

because of this, hydrogen chloride has a low boiling point

34
Q

why is pure copper malleable?

A

pure metals are malleable because of their same sized atoms and arrangement

layers can easily slide over each other because in metals there are delocalised electrons which allow copper ions to do this

35
Q

bronze is a mixture of tin and copper, the tin atoms are much bigger than the copper atoms

why is bronze not as malleable as copper

A

the different size of atoms (tin is much bigger than copper) mean that they can’t slide over each other

36
Q

why do metals conduct electricity?

A

delocalised electrons fall between the layer of atoms and conduct electricity

high

stronger attraction between the positive Cl atoms and negative F atoms

lots of energy needed

51
Q

what is the chemical formula for magnesium phosphate

A

Mg3(PO4)2

52
Q

what does the ‘(II)’ in Copper (II) indicate?

A

each copper atom contributes 2 electrons

53
Q

why can copper conduct electricity?

A

because it has a sea of delocalised electronsnbetween the layers in the structure which are free to move

54
Q

why can copper be drawn into wires

A

copper is ductile

the sea of delocalise delectrons mean the layers can slide easily over each other and be drawn into wires

55
Q

what is a use for poly(ethene)

A

wax in polish

56
Q

why does propanone and water (both simple molecular structures) have low boiling points

A

the attractive forces between their molecules are weak

these require little energy to be overcome

62
Q

give two observations made during the reaction between magnesium and oxygen

A

a huge bright light is seen

a sizzle is heard whilst the reaction occurs

63
Q

why is the melting point of magnesium oxide much higher than that of sodium chloride?

A

lattice is held together by stronger attraction

this is because the ions have a higher charge and therefore a higher attraction

64
Q

Suggest and explain why silica is used to make bricks for high-temperature furnaces. In your answer, you should refer to the structure of, and bonding im, silica

A

giant covalent stucture

strong covalent bonds between atoms

lots of energy to breka bonds - makes them suitable to withdstand heat

65
Q

When glue sets it forms a giant covalent structure

explain why the giant covalent structures have high melting points?

A

they have strong covalent bonds which take a lot of energy to break so it needs to be a high heat to break these bonds
