what are the steps to balancing a redox equation
- balance the main element
- add water to balance oxygen atoms
- add hydrogen ions to balance hydrogen atoms
- add electrons to the same side as the hydrogen ions to balance the charge
what are strong reducing agents
carbon monoxide gas
what are strong oxidising agents
- hydrogen peroxide (H2O2)
- dichromate (Cr2O7) and permangenate (MnO4) group ions -
what does the oxidation of edible oils result in
rancidity
what does distillation do
separates chemicals with different boiling points
what does chromatography do
separates chemicals due to difference in polarity or size
what are factors to control in chromatography
the temperature of the column because increasing the temperature would increase the kinetic energy of the particles and they would pass through the column more quickly.
size because smaller molecules will pass through the column more quickly than larger molecules
describe how to prepare a burette for titration
- rinse with whatever solution is being used
- fill buretted above the scale with the solution
- remove filter funnel
- open tap to drain some of the solution to ensure there are no air bubbles
- reading should be taken from the bottom of the meniscus
what is the reduction reaction in benedicts solution
Cu2- + e- –> Cu+
