Invert the volumetric flask slowly

57
Q

How to carry out titration?

A
  • Add the measured volume of one solution to a conical flask with a pipette.
  • Add the other solution to a burette, and record the initial burette reading to the nearest 0.05cm3.
  • Add a few drops of indicator to the solution.
  • Run the solution in the burette into the solution in the conical flask, swirling the conical flask throughout to mix the solutions. The endpoint of the titration is when the indicator changes colour.
  • Record the final burette reading. The volume of solution added from the burette is the titre, calculated by doing: initial burette reading - final burette reading.
  • A quick titration is first carried out to find the approx. titre.
  • The titration is repeated. Further titrations are carried out until the two accurate titres are concordant (agreeing to 0.10cm3)
58
Q

How to calculate the unknown concentration of the solution in a conical flask?

A
Pipette
25.00cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 KOH(aq)
Mean titre from burette
25.70cm3 of H2SO4(aq)
Unknown information?
Concentration of H2SO4

Calculation:

n(KOH) = c x V/1000 = 0.100 x 25.000/1000 = 0.00250 mol
2KOH(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → K2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
2 mol 1 mol
0.00250 mol : 0.00125 mol
3. n(H2SO4) = c x V/1000
c = 1000 x n/V = 1000x0.00125/25.70
= 0.0486 mol dm-3
therefore the concentration of H2SO4(aq) is 0.0486 mol dm-3

72
Q

Why does 4s orbital fill before 3d?

A

3d comes after 4s because 3d is at a higher energy level, so 4s fills first

*Electron configuration focuses on the shell order rather than the order of filling and so 3d comes before 4s, even though 4s fills first.

73
Q

Why is chromium an exception in its electron configuration?

A

Chromium should be [Ar]3d4 4s2
BUT chromium [Ar]3d5 4s1

75
Q

76
Q

What is a giant ionic lattice?

A

A repeating pattern of oppositely charged ions held together by the electrostatic force of attraction

77
Q

What are the physical properties of ionic compounds?

A

—-High melting and boiling point (solid)
High temperatures (= high energy) is needed to overcome the strong electrostatic attraction between the ions
–Soluble (solid)
Often dissolve in polar solvents
Ionic lattice must be broken down → water molecules attract and surround ions
—-Electrical conductivity
Solid ionic compounds do not conduct electricity because there are no mobile charge carriers as ions are in fixed positions
When liquid or aqueous, they do conduct electricity
Because the lattice breaks down, allowing the ions to move as charge carriers

78
Q

What is a covalent bond?

A

the strong electrostatic attraction between a shared pair of electrons and the nuclei of the bonded atoms

79
Q

Why do atoms want to form covalent bonds?
