Q

Titration

A

A solution of known concentration is used to determine the concentration of another solution. Usually finding the exact amount of acid needed to neutralise a quantity of alkali or vice versa using an indicator such as methyl orange that is yellow in all acids and red in all alkalis.

Q

Titration method

A

1) Rinse and fill a burette with alkali
2) Using a standard 25.00cm3 pipette, place acid into a conical flask
3) Add a few drops of acid-base indicator to the conical flask
4) Add the alkali slowly from the burette into the conical flask and swirl the contents
5) Determine the EXACT volume of alkali required to turn the solution a very pale pink
6) Rinse out the conical flask with purified water and repeat the experiment
7) Repeat the experiment until you have 2 concordant results that are within 0.2

Q

What is everything above carbon in the reactivity series extracted by?

A

Electrolysis

17
Q

Redox reactions

A

A chemical reaction involving the transfer of one or more electrons from one reactant to another; also called oxidation-reduction reaction.
Oxidation is loss
Reduction is gain
(OIL RIG).

18
Q

Displacement reactions

A

a reaction in which an element reacts with a compound, displacing an element from the compound. It is a redox reaction. For example in the case of metals, the metal ion that is in the compound gains electron (reduction) and the metal atom loses electrons (oxidation).

19
Q

Ionic equation

A

used to show details of reactions that involve ions (just the things that have changed).

20
Q

Ionic equation example

Iron and hydrogen

A

Fe—> Fe2+ + 2e-
2H++ 2e- —> H2
Fe + 2H+ —> Fe2+ + H2

21
Q

Electrolysis

A

A process by which a dc electric current breaks chemical bonds:
a dc electric current is passed through an electrolyte. The ions move towards the opposite charged electrodes and lose or gain electrons to become the uncharged element and are discharged from the electrolyte.

22
Q

Electrolyte

A

a molten or dissolved ionic compound

23
Q

Metal extraction by electrolysis

A

must be in molten form (to have free ions to conduct electricity) so heated at very high temperatures (in the case of aluminium cryolite is added to reduce melting point).
metal ions are reduced (gain electrons) by the cathode to form element. Sinks to bottom of tank.
non-metal ions are oxidised (lose electrons) by the anode. If oxygen from ore is released as gas.

24
Q

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions - copper sulphate solution

A

At the cathode (negative electrode):
If the metal ion forms metal more reactive than hydrogen it will stay in the aqueous solution as the hydrogen (from the H+ in water) is released. If it is less reactive than hydrogen (e.g. copper) a solid layer of the pure metal will be produced on the negative electrode.

At the anode (positive electrode):
If the solution contains a group 7 ion (halide ion), it is released, otherwise oxygen (from the OH- ion in water) is released.

25
Q

Electrolysis of aqueous solutions - sodium chloride solution

A

Hydrogen to cathode
Chlorine to anode
Sodium metal is more reactive than hydrogen so at the cathode hydrogen gas is produces
Chloride ions are present in the solution so at the anode chlorine gas is produced

26
Q

Test for chlorine

A

Bleaches damp litmus paper, turning it white

27
Q

Hydrogen test

A

Makes squeaky pop with a lighted splint

28
Q

Oxygen test

A

Relights glowing splint

29

32
Q
