Q

Several students titrate 25.00 cm3 of the same solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) with hydrochloric acid, HCl (aq). One student obtains a larger titre than the other students.

Which procedure explains the larger titre?

A The burette readings are taken from the top of the meniscus instead of the bottom of the meniscus.

B The conical flask is rinsed with water before carrying out the titration.

C An air bubble is released from the jet of the burette during the titration.

D The pipette is rinsed with water before filling with NaOH(aq).

A

C An air bubble is released from the jet of the burette during the titration. ✓

Air displaced water in burette, So a greater measured volume is needed.

Q

Several students titrate 25.00 cm3 of the same solution of sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq) with hydrochloric acid, HCl (aq). One student obtains a smaller titre than the other students.

Which procedure explains the smaller titre?

A The burette readings are taken from the top of the meniscus instead of the bottom of the meniscus.

B The conical flask is rinsed with water before carrying out the titration.

C An air bubble is released from the jet of the burette during the titration.

D The pipette is rinsed with water before filling with NaOH(aq).

A

D The pipette is rinsed with water before filling with NaOH(aq) ✓

NaOH is more dilute now, same volume, less moles of NaOH reacting in conical flask, less acid required to neutralise it.

Describe and explain the melting point of Mg.

A

High ✓ as Mg has a giant metallic lattice structure. ✓

There are lots of strong metallic bonds, with the electrostatic attraction between positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons. ✓

Which requires a large amount of energy to overcome. ✓

225
Q

Using a labelled diagram, describe and explain the conductivity of Na, in solid and molten states.

A

Conducts electricity when solid or molten – Na has mobile delocalised electrons. ✓

There are electrostatic attractions between positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons. ✓

226
Q

Explain why diomand, Si, B and silicon dioxide all have high melting points

A

Has a giant covalent lattice structure. ✓

Has a very high melting and boiling point as the structure has lots of strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms. ✓

Which requires a large amount of energy to overcome ✓

227
Q

Explain why graphite has a high boiling point

A

Has a giant covalent lattice structure ✓

High melting and boiling point – lots of strong covalent bonds between carbon atoms. ✓

Which requires are larger amount of energy to overcome ✓

228
Q

Explain why graphite is used in pencil leads and as a lubricant

A

Weak induced dipole-dipole interactions between layers allow layers to slide over each other ✓

229
Q

Explain why bromine, chlorine, diomand, fluorine and Si do not conduct electricity

A

They do not conduct electricity as they have no mobile charged particles. ✓

230
Q

Ammonia, and ammonium nitrate, are compounds of nitrogen. Explain why ammonium nitrate has much higher melting and boiling points compared to ammonia.

A

Ammonia has hydrogen bonding between molecules. ✓

Ammonium nitrate has ionic bonding, which is the strong electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions. ✓

Ionic bonding is stronger and requires more energy to overcome. ✓

231
Q

Two students are discussing the oxidation numbers in ammonium nitrate.

One student claims that the two nitrogen atoms have the same oxidation number. The other student disagrees and claims that the nitrogen atoms have different oxidation numbers.

Explain with reasons which student is correct.

A

The other student, as nitrogen in ammonium ions is -3. ✓

and nitrogen in nitrate ions is +5. ✓

Remember, when H is bonding to a metal or in ammonium, its oxidation state is -1

241
Q

Complete the following to show what is oxidised and reduced.

A
242
Q

Assign oxidation numbers and say whether the following reaction is a redox reaction or not.

A

Mg has changed from 0 in Mg to +2 in MgCl2, so it has been oxidised ✓

H has changed from +1 in HCl to 0 in H2, so it has been reduced ✓

Therefore, this is a redox reaction ✓

243
Q
A

There is no change in oxidation states ✓

Therefore, this is a not a redox reaction ✓
