Q

Explain test for oxygen.

A

Put a blown out splint into a test tube, if it relights then there is oxygen produced.

17
Q

19
Q

What piece of apparatus should be used to measure acid for titration?

A

Glass pipette

20
Q

What is the nam given to the method for finding the amount of acid needed to neutralise the solution?

A

Titration

21
Q

If you add litmus paper to chlorine it goes?

A

Red and then it bleaches white.

22
Q

What is electrolysis?

A

Electrolysis is the breaking down of a substance using electricity.

23
Q

What is oxidation in terms of electrons?

A

Loss of electrons

24
Q

What is reduction in terms of electrons?

A

Gain of electrons

25
Q

Where do the positive ions go to.

A

The cathode

26
Q

What are the positive and negative ions called?

A

Cations and anions

27
Q

Where do the negative ions in the electrolyte move toward.

A

The anode

28
Q

Why can molten ionic compounds be electrolysed.

A

Because the ions can move freely.

29
Q

Molten ionic compounds are broken up into?

A

Elements.

30
Q

Write a half equation for molten lead bromide

A

Pb2+ +2e- =Pb

2Br- = Br2 + 2e-
