Chemistry: sept 11 Flashcards
How many decimal points should you measure a burette too
2 decimal points
what is the boiling point of water
100 degrees celsius
What element has the atomic number 20
Calcium
Define relative atomic mass
the ratio of the average mass of one atom of an element to one twelfth of the mass of an atom of carbon-12.
What term is used to describe an oxide that reacts with acids and alkalis
Amphoteric
What should a dot and cross diagram have
dots and crosses
Mole formula
N = m/mr
moles = mass/molecular mass
what is a spatula used for
Spatulas are used to transport and distribute dry chemical compounds
describe ionic compounds
It conducts electricity when dissolved in water
It has a high melting point due to strong attractive forces between ions
the ionic bonds are formed between metallic and non metallic elements
is this statement about oxides correct: Magnesium oxide reacts with nitric acid to make a salt
Yes
why are mixtures filtered
To remove the excess filtrate
Properties of ammonia (NH3)
colourless
less dense than air
uses of caustic soda (sodium hydroxide)
Drain cleaner
Fertiliser
What is Calcium carbonate used for (CaCO3)
Kitchen benches (when its marble)
how to make concrete
CaCO3 is broken down to CaO + CO2 which equals Ca(OH)2
dissolving
The process in which solvent molecules such as water surround solute particles such as ions
(like those in salt) or molecules (like those in sugar)
Are all nitrates, sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are soluble.
yes
What chlorides, bromides and iodides are not soluble
Pb2+, Cu+ and Ag+ are not soluble
how many flourides are soluble
All of them
What carbonates are soluble
The carbonates of alkali metals are soluble
The rest aren’t
What sulphates are soluble
Most sulphates are soluble, Ca2+ and Pb2+ are not Ag+
and Ba2+ are slightly soluble.
