Q

Chem: How do you write ionic equations

A

Split the equation so
- NaOH ( aq ) + HNO 3 ( aq ) → NaNO 3 ( aq ) + H 2 O ( l )
Would become - Na + OH ( aq ) + H + NO 3 ( aq ) → Na + NO 3 ( aq ) + H 2 + O ( l )
Then cross out the portions that do not change their charge, this becomes
- OH ( aq ) + H → H 2 O ( l )

chem: define titration

A

it is a technique that measures the volumes of acid and alkali solutions needed in a neutralization reaction

110
Q

chem: define a strong acid

A

it is an acid that when in water fully ionises, all of the acid breaks up to form H+ ions

111
Q

chem: what is a weak acid

Q

chem: what are some properties of cylindrical fullerenes

A
  • strength, strong covalent bonds
  • conductivity
140
Q

chem: describe cylindrical fullerenes

A

they are called carbon nanotubes and take the shape of a cylinder, they are often called molecular wires because they have a tiny diameter but are very long

141
Q

chem: what are some uses of cylindrical fullerenes

A
  • electronics
  • nanotechnology
  • for strengthening materials
142
Q

chem: what are clumps of particles

A

matter often ‘clump’ up into small particles, the size of the clump gives it a different name:
- nanoparticles
- fine particles
- coarse particles

143
Q

Chem: why, when tennessine was discovered in 2010, was it not recognised as a new element until 2015

A

Because the discovery of the element must be repruducable

144
Q

Chem. what is the dependent variable

A

The one that the depends on the other variables

145
Q

Chem: how to calculate overall energy change

A

Energy in bonds of reactants - energy in the bonds of products = overall energy change
Energy in - energy out = overall energy change

146
Q

Chem: why do alloys conduct electricity worse than pure metals

A

Because the different elements in the alloy interrupt the lattice structure and make it harder for the electrons to move through the structure

147
Q

Chem: what equation links moles, volume and concentration

A

Conc = moles / volume

148
Q

Chem: explain how, in aluminium, electrons carry a change

A
  • delocalised electrons
  • they can carry a charge
  • they flow through the substance
149
Q

chem: who came up with the plum pudding model, when?

A

chem: who thought the atom was a nucleus with all of the posotive charge in the center and a cloud of neagtive charge, when

A

Ernest Rutherford, 1909

151
Q

chem: who came up with the idea that electrons were in shells with orbits, when?

A

Niels Bohr, 1913

152
Q

chem: who came up with the idea of protons, when

A

Rutherford, 1919

153
Q

chem: who came up with the idea of neutrons

A

James Chadwick, 1932

154
Q

chem: what are all of the transition elements

A

they are metals

155
Q

chem: what are the properties of the alkali metals

A
  • low dencity
  • relativly low melting point
  • soft, can be cut with a scalpel
  • very reactive
156
Q

chem: what is a giant ionic latice

A

it is an ionic structure with an underined amount of ions

157
Q

chem: what are the properties of giant ionic lattices

A
  • each positive ion is surrounded by a negative ion
  • they are 3d structures
  • very strong forces of attraction between pos and neg ions (electrostatic forces of attraction) which hold the ions in place
  • very high melting and boiling points
158
Q

chem: what are electrostatic forces

A

they are the forces between posotive and negative ions

159
Q

chem: what can ionic compounds do when molten or dissolved, how?

A

they can conduct electrisity, remember that it is the ions that move not the electrons

160
Q

Chem: in diamond, graphite and graphene what are the bonds

A

covalent

161
Q

chem: what is the main property of nanoparticles

A

very high surface are to volume ratio

162
Q

chem: what is the empirical formula

A

The empirical formula of a compound is the simplest, whole number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound,

163
Q

chem: what is an exothermic reaction profile

164
Q

chem: what is an endothermic reaction profile

A
165
Q

chem: what is the structure of a hydrogen fuel cell

A
166
Q

chem: what type of equation shows electrons

A

ionic

167
Q

chem: what is the reactivity series

A
168
Q

chem: what is the equation for moles involving Mr

A

169
Q

Chem: what are 4 types of Exothermic reactions

A
  • neutralisation
  • combustion
  • oxidation

Q

Chem: what are the 3 types of endothermic reactions

A
  • thermal decomposition
  • citric acid + baking soda

171
Q

Chem: what are the 2 requirements for a reaction to occur

A
  • collisions
  • activation energy
172
Q

Chem: through bond energy how do you find if a reaction is Exothermic or endothermic

A

You can subtract the bond energy from products and reactants, if the answer is pos then it is endothermic and if the answer is negative then it is Exothermic
