Releases Hydroxide (OH-) ions.

29
Q

What are metal oxides?

30
Q

What are non-metal oxides?

31
Q

What is an observation of magnesium oxide/combustion of magnesium?

A

Bright white light or white solid formed.

32
Q

Why is the acid heated up in a reaction?

A

To speed up the reaction.

33

Charge on Zinc Iron

35
Q

Charge on Silver ion

36
Q

Charge on Copper

37
Q

Charge on Lead

38
Q

Describe how to find out if an unknown element is a metal or non-metal.

A

Combust with oxygen.
Dissolve the oxide in water.
Determine the pH of the solution with an indicator.
Metal = Alkali solution
Non metal dioxides = Acid solution

39
Q

Methyl Orange Indicator colour change

A

Red in acid
Orange in neutral.
Yellow in alkalis

40
Q

Steps to prepare lead (II) sulphate

A

Mix 2 soluble salts together while stirring
Filter to remove precipitate from mixture
Wash filtrate with distilled water to remove traces of other solutions
Leave in an oven to dry

41
Q

Abundance of Nitrogen in air.

42
Q

Abundance of Oxygen in air.

43
Q

Abundance of Argon in air.

44
Q

Abundance of Carbon Dioxide in air.

45
Q

What is an acid?

A

A H+ donor.

46
Q

What is a base?

A

A H+ acceptor

47
Q

What is an alkali?

A

An OH- donor.

48
Q

What should you be careful with when using polyatomic ions in chemical formulae?

A

You have to use brackets.

49
Q

Observations of a carbonate + acid reaction.

A

Carbonate disappears- Is used up in reaction.
Fizzing- Gas (carbon dioxide) is produced.

50
Q

Steps for Insoluble Base method.

A

1- Heat acid (speeds up reaction)
2- While stirring, keep adding base until no more will dissolve. (Guarantees that all the acid has been used up/excess base)
3- Filter out the excess base
4 - Transfer to evaporating basin
5 - Heat until crystals form on glass rod
6 - Allow solution to cool for a few days
7 - Filter out crystals
8 - Dry crystals using filter paper

51
Q

When would you use the Titration method?

A

When the base you are using is soluble, the insoluble base method wouldn’t work because you wouldn’t be able to filter out the excess.

52
Q

Crystallisation - You use this no matter which method you used to make the salt (but only for soluble salts)

A

1 - Transfer solution to an evaporating basin. Heat the salt solution and stir with a glass rod until crystals start to form (causes solution to become saturated).
2- Allow solution to cool for a few days (reduces solubility of solution).
3- Filter out the crystals.
4- Pat the crystals dry with filter paper.

53
Q

Making an insoluble salt by precipitation method

A

1- Mix two solutions together in a beaker. (Dissolve in water if they are solid)
2- Filter to collect the solid precipitate.
3- Wash with distilled water.
4- Pat the solid dry with filter paper.

54
Q

What type of solutions do metal oxides form when dissolved in water?

55
Q

What type of solutions do non-metal dioxides form when dissolved in water?

56
Q

Observation of carbon combusting

A

Orange glow, universal indicator in water turns from green to orange

57
Q

Observation of iron combusting

A

Burns very quickly with orange flame, universal indicator in water turns from green to dark green

58
Q

What are all metal oxides and hydroxides?

59
Q

Reasons for why the % of oxygen in air experiment result does not match.

A

Leaks in equipment letting more air (and therefore oxygen) into the experiment.
Metal wasn’t heated enough or for long enough for all the oxygen to react

60
Q

What do all bases react with acid to form?

A

salt and water

61
Q

Why is Ammonia (NH3) a base?

A

Can accept H+ to form ammonium ion

62
Q

What is an alkaline solution?

A

Alkali has dissolved and donated OH- into the water causing a pH greater than 7

63
Q

Observation of Hydrogen combusting

A

Squeaky pop

64
Q

What is produced when hydrogen is combusted?
