Q

What is the atom economy?

A

Atom economy is a measure of the proportion of reactant atoms that become part of the desired product (rather than by-products) in the balanced chemical equation.

Q

What ideally happens with by-products of chemical reactions?

A

The by-products can be used for another purpose as they are an extra expense to throw away (especially hazardous waste)

Q

What is concentration?

A

The amount of a substance in a certain volume of a solution

21
Q

What is a solute?

A

A substance that is dissolved in a solution.

22
Q

What is a solvent?

A

The substance that dissolves the solute

23
Q

What is a solution?

A

A mixture of solute and solvent

24
Q

How much is a decimetre cubed (dm^3)

A

1000cm^3

25
Q

What is concentration of a solution measured in?

A

g/dm^3

26
Q

How do you work out concentration with amount of solute (g) and volume of solution (dm^3)

A

Amount of solute (g) / Volume of solution (dm^3) = Concentration (g/dm^3)

27
Q

How do you work out concentration with amount of solute (g) and volume of solution (cm^3)

A

( Amount of solute (g) / Volume of solution (cm^3) ) x 1000 = Concentration (g/dm^3)

28
Q

How do you increase the concentration of a solution?

A

-Add more solute

-Remove solvent

29
Q

What happens when an acid and alkali react together?

A

They neutralise each other, forming a salt and water in the process.

30
Q

What will happen if acid is in excess in a mixture between a strong acid and a strong alkali.

A

The product will be acidic

31
Q

What is it called when the acid and alkali have completely reacted?

A

The end point

32
Q

How can you judge when the end point is reached?

A

Using an acid/base indicator

33
Q

What is the volume of the acid/alkali needed to neutralise the alkali/acid?

A

Titre

34
Q

What are titres that are within 0.1 cm3 of each other?

A

Concordant

35
Q

What instrument is used to measure the solution added?

A

Burette

36
Q

What is titration?

A

the process of adding a known amount of solution of known concentration to determine the concentration of another solution

37
Q

How do you work out concentration from titrations?

A

1) Measure a known volume of alkali into a volumetric pipette

2) Add a few drops of acid/base indicator to the solution and swirl

3) Fill a burette with a certain measurement of acid and write the measurement down

4) Release a certain amount of acid into the solution from the burette and swirl the solution

5) Repeat step 4 until the indicator changes colour

6) Record the volume of acid that has been mixed into the solution (titre)

7) Repeat the whole process 2 more times and discard anomalous results or keep going until you get 2 titres that are within 0.1cm^3 of each other (concordant results) then calculate the mean

8) Use these results to calculate the concentration of the alkali in mol/dm^3

38
Q

What is the meniscus?

A

The curved upper surface of a liquid in a tube.

39
Q

What safety precautions must be taken?

A
  • Goggles
  • Stay stood up
  • Wear protective clothing
  • (Substances may be corrosive and irritants)
40
Q

Where do you put the solution with an unknown concentration?

A

The conical flask

41
Q

Where do you put the solution with the known concentration?

A

The burette

42
Q

How do you convert from mol/dm^3 to g/dm^3

A

Multiply the mol/dm^3 by the formula mass

43
Q

What is the volume of 1 mole of any gas at room temperature?

A

24dm^3

44
Q

How do you work out number of moles of gas

A

volume of gas(dm^3)/24dm^3 or volume of gas(cm^3)/24000cm^3

45
Q

What can the molar gas volume and balanced symbol equations be used for?

A

Calculating the volume of gaseous reactants or products
