Q

General word equation when completely combusting a hydrocarbon, alcohol or ester fuel

A

Fuel + Oxygen –> Carbon dioxide + Water

21
Q

Definition of ‘acid’ (according to Bronsted-Lowry theory)

A

A proton (H+) donor

22
Q

Definition of ‘base’ (according to Bronsted-Lowry theory)

A

A proton (H+) acceptor

23
Q

Definition of alkali

A

A soluble base, that dissolves or reacts with water to produce hydroxide ions (OH-)

24
Q

Name given to a substance that can react as either an acid or a base

A

Amphoteric (or amphiprotic)

25
Q

When is an acid-base reaction also a neutralisation reaction?

A

When it produces water as a product

26
Q

Definition of acid-base reaction (Bronsted-Lowry theory)

A

Transfer of a proton (H+) from an acid to a base

27
Q

General word equation for the reaction between an acid and a metal oxide or hydroxide base

A

Base + Acid –> Water + Salt

28
Q

General word equation for the reaction between an acid and a carbonate base

A

Carbonate + Acid –> Water + Carbon dioxide + Salt

29
Q

General word equation for the reaction between water and an acid

A

33
Q

General word equation for the reaction between a metal and liquid water

34
Q

General word equation for the reaction between a metal and steam

A

Metal + Steam –> Metal oxide + Hydrogen

35
Q

Word equation for the reaction between Iron (III) oxide and Aluminium powder, and the reaction type

A

Iron (III) oxide + Aluminium –> Iron + Aluminium Oxide
This is a displacement reaction.

36
Q

In gravimetric analysis, what is meant by ‘dry to constant mass’?

A

Repeated cycles of drying and weighing until at least two identical mass measurements are achieved. This ensures that no water remains in the precipitate

37
Q

In gravimetric analysis, would slight solubility of the precipitate cause an overestimation or underestimation of the analyte concentration?

A

Underestimation, because the measured precipitate mass would be lower than the true value.

38
Q

In gravimetric analysis, would loss of material (eg spashing, inefficient rinsing etc) cause an overestimation or underestimation of the analyte concentration?

A

Underestimation, because the measured precipitate mass would be lower than the true value.

39
Q

In gravimetric analysis, would impurities in the precipitate (eg soluble ions or water) cause an overestimation or underestimation of the analyte concentration?

A

Overestimation, because the measured precipitate mass would be higher than the true value.

40
Q

What is meant by ‘precise’ measurements?

A

When repeated measurements of the same quantity give values that are in close agreement with each other.

41
Q

What is meant by ‘accurate’ measurements?

A

Measurements that are close to the true value of that quantity

42
Q

What is meant if an experiment is described as ‘valid’?

A

The experiment correctly investigates what it aims or claims to investigate; there is a logical connection between the results and the research question

43
Q

If experimental results are consistently lower than the true value, is this likely to be a result of systematic error or random error?

A

Systematic error

44
Q

How can systematic errors be managed?

A

Calibrating equipment (eg balances, pH meters, primary standard substances) so that all measurements reflect the true value being measured.

45
Q

How can random errors be managed?

A

Increasing the resolution of measuring apparatus, reducing the impact of subjective judgements, and controlling variables effectively.

46
Q

For the purposes of significant figures, are leading zeroes (eg in 0.0025) considered significant?

A

No - 0.0025 has two significant figures.

47
Q

For the purposes of significant figures, are trailing zeroes (eg in 6.2500) considered significant?

A

Yes - 6.2500 has five significant figures.

48
Q

How many significant figures are there in a whole number (in chemistry)?

A

The same number of significant figures as there are digits in the number.
