Q

when creating hydrogen with a metal describe what must happen for the reaction to work

A

the reaction is a displacement reaction so the metal must be above hydrogen in the reactivity series for the reaction to work - metal + acid is usually a lot more violent than metal + water

there is also anhydrous copper sulphate which is the catalyst and speeds up the reaction

sink and cold surface in the retort

anhydrous calcium chloride

50
Q

in the experiment to show hydrogen produces water when burnt in air - what is the purpose of the cold surface in the retort

A

it’s to condense the water vapour

51
Q

in the experiment to show hydrogen produces water when burnt in air - what is the purpose of the anhydrous calcium chloride

A

it is a drying agent- it dries up any excess water from the hydrogen

52
Q

in the experiment to show hydrogen produces water when burnt in air - how can you show that the liquid collected contains water (chemical test- works with pure or impure water)

A

add water to the anhydrous copper sulfate powder which is white. it should then turn to hydrous copper sulfate and the powder should them turn blue

CuSO4 + 5H2O -> CuSO4 5H2O

53
Q

in the experiment to show hydrogen produces water when burnt in air - how can you show that the liquid collected was pure water

A

boil at 100degrees or freeze at 0degrees

Impure would boil at a much higher temp and would freeze at a lower temperature

54
Q

what is It called when oxygen is removed

A

reduction reaction

55
Q

what is reduction

A

the removal of oxygen

56
Q

explain how hydrogen can remove oxygen from certain metal oxides

A

the removal of oxygen is called reduction so hydrogen is acting as the reducing agent

57
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - what apparatus do you need

A

porcelain boat (with lead (II) oxide)
Bunsen
hard glass tube
hydrogen and hydrogen flame

58
Q

explain how hydrogen and lead can switch places in the reactivity series

A

when it is hot enough, Pb and H switch places on the reactivity series

59
Q

what is the word and chemical equation with the hydrogen displacing oxygen in metal oxides experiment

A

hydrogen + lead (II) oxide -> water + lead

H2 + PbO -> H2O + Pb

60
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - why don’t you light the hydrogen at the end of the tube until all the air has been swept out of the apparatus?

A

The hydrogen would react with the oxygen in the reminding air and set light to the oxygen resulting in your apparatus burning.

61
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - at the end of the experiment, why do we turn off the Bunsen but keep passing hydrogen going over the metal while it cools down?

A

it could turn back to lead oxide if the air gets back into the tube, so while you let it cool, keep the hydrogen going over it so it stays as just lead

62
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - you repeat experiment and weigh several times until a constant mass is achieved, what is a constant mass?

A

constant mass is when the mass remains the same (pure lead) after weighing it several times after the experiment.

63
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - which metals oxides can hydrogen reduce

A

any metals below hydrogen in the periodic table (plus lead if hot enough)

64
Q

in the experiment where hydrogen removes the oxygen from metal oxides - what are the advantages of using hydrogen rather than a more reactive metal?

A

a metal oxide reaction is violent

you have to separate the two solids, copper and MgO (if you use a more reactive metal e.g. magnesium)

more reactive metals can be explosive

65
Q

complete the word and chemical equation

hydrogen+ copper oxide ->

A

hydrogen+ copper oxide -> water + copper

H2 + CuO -> H2O + Cu

66
Q

complete the following equation

hydrogen + silver (I) oxide ->

A

hydrogen + silver (I) oxide -> water + silver

H2 + Ag2O -> H2O + 2Ag

67
Q

describe the simple test for hydrogen gas

A

use a burning splint and hold it at the mouth of a test tube containing the gas, if hydrogen is present you will hear a squeaky pop.

68
Q

in the simple test for hydrogen - why is it important that the splint is held at the mouth of the tube rather than inside the test tube?

A

there would not be enough oxygen from the air in the test tube for the reaction to take place

69

A
  • manufacture of ammonia by the Haber process
  • hardening of vegetable oils to margarine
  • oxy-hydrogen flame welding and cutting

what is the reaction by the hater process where hydrogen is reacted with nitrogen to make ammonia for fertilisers

A

N2(g) + 3H2(g) <=> 2NH3(g)

Q

Describe the laboratory preparation of oxygen from hydrogen peroxide

A

When dilute hydrogen peroxide is added (H2O2) is decomposed either by heating or by the use of a catalyst such as manganese oxide MnO2, oxygen is evolved and water is left behind

A

hydrogen peroxide -> water + oxygen

2H2O2 (aq) -> 2H2O (l) + O2(g)

81

A

these oxides do not dissolve in water

they react with acids to form salts

don’t react with other alkalis

these include some group 2 oxides and transition metals

83
Q

describe amphoteric oxides

A

these oxides do not dissolve in water

they react with alkalis to form salts and react with alkalis to form salts with weird names

metals near to the non-metal boarder are of this type e.g zinc or aluminium

84
Q

describe acidic oxides

A

these oxides usually dissolve in water to form acids

react with alkalis to form salts but not with other acids

these are usually non-metals

A

when a metal replaces hydrogen in the acid

86
Q
