Q

why do atoms have no overall charge?

A

because there are always the same amount of protons as neutrons, so there cancel each other out

Q

what is the formula for water and how many atoms are there in a molecule?

A

H₂O and 3 atoms are present

17
Q

what is the formula for carbon dioxide

A

CO₂

18
Q

what is the formula for oxygen?

A

O₂

19
Q

what equipment is needed to perform the crystilisation of salt water?

A

bunsen burner, tripod, gauze, evaporating dish and a heat proof mat.

20
Q

which side of a reaction do the reactants go?

A

on the left

21
Q

how many carbons are there in:
Cu₂(OH)₂(CO₃)₂

A

2 carbons

22
Q

whats the difference between chemical and physical separation processes

A

chemical processes are where the chemical structure/formula changes and the physical processes are where the appearance just changes

23
Q

whats the difference between a solute and a solvent?

A

a solute gets dissolved by the solvent

24
Q

state what the conservation of mass law means?

A

mass can never be created or destroyed

25
Q

when balancing an equation what do you never change?

A

the chemical formula

26
Q

what are the state symbols and the names?

A

S (solid)
L (liquid)
G(gas)
Aq(aquius)

27
Q

why cant simple distillation be used to separate substances with similar boiling points?

A

as they will both evaporate at the same time and they will not be separated when they condense

28
Q

paper chromatography is used to separate?

A

mixtures of soluble substances

29
Q

distillation is used to separate?

A

2 liquids with different boiling points

30
Q

how does paper chromatography work?

A

it works as the different components travel at different rates. This is because the different substances take different times to disolve in the solvent.The quicker they dissolve, the further they travel up the paper as they have more time.

31
Q

what is Rf value?

A

The Rf value of a compound is equal to the distance traveled by the compound divided by the distance traveled by the solvent front

32
Q

what is a solution?

A

a solute dissolved in a solvent

33
Q

what is solubility?

A

the maximum amount of a substance that will dissolve in a given volume of solvent at a specific temperature

34
Q

___NaCN + ___CuCO₃ –> ___Na₂CO₃ + ___Cu(CN)₂

A

2 NaCN + 1 CuCO₃ –> 1 Na₂CO₃ + 1 Cu(CN)₂
