Module 5 Flashcards
Reversible reactions
forward and reverse reactions are possible- drawn with a arrow pointing in both directions
What are the properties of reversible reactions?
- reverse thermodynamic properties
- values of enthalpy, entropy and gibbs free energy would be the negative or the reverse
What are the types of equilibrium a reaction can have?
Dynamic equilibrium and static equilibrium
Are all reversible reactions in dynamic equilibrium
No. Dynamic equilibrium is only`a type of reversible reaction
Investigation- reversibility of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate
What materials are involved in this experiment?
- 5g of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate
- Evaporating dish
- Gauze mat
- Bunsen burner
- Demineralised water
Investigation- reversibility of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate
What is the method of the experiment? Draw experimental set-up.
- Add 5g of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate in an evaporating dish and set it is on top of a gauze mat
- Gently heat the cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate with Bunsen burner and observe for any colour changes
- When there are no colour changes after 5 minutes, add 5 mL of demineralised water to re-dissolve the salt
- Evaporate the solution and observe for changes
Investigation- reversibility of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate
Why was demineralised water added to the salt after evaporation?
By adding water to the evaporated solution, we test the reversibility of cobalt(II) chloride hexahydrate
Investigation- reversibility of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate
Observations are?
- Cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate is a dark pink colour
- Heating cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate causes the substance to turn into a purple colour (cobalt (II) chloride dihydrate)
- Heating cobalt (II) chloride dihydrate causes it to become sky blue (cobalt (II) chloride anhydrous)
- The colour of cobalt(II) chloride dihydrate is a fleeting colour where it quickly appears and disappears
- By adding water, the solution becomes dark pink
- When reheating the solution, the observations are recalled to be the same
What is the colour of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate?
Pink
What s the colour of cobalt chloride dihydrate?
Purple
What form of cobalt (II) chloride is sky blue?
Anhydrous
What happens when hexahydrate is heated?
The waters of crystallisation are gradually vaporised
Investigation of the reversibility of cobalt (II) chloride hexahydrate
Why does the appearance of the solution remain the same despite the form of cobalt(II) chloride.
Despite the water crystallisation number, as cobalt (II) chloride is dissolved the hydration spheres formed around them is exactly the same- the number of crystallisation numbers don’t have an effect.
Investigating the reversibility of the combustion of metals-
Materials?
- magnesium strip
- steel wool
- crucible and lid
- bunsen burner
- tripod and pipeclay triangle
- test tube
- Ice bath
Investigating the reversibility of the combustion of metals- Method . Draw a diagram.
- Place pipeclay triangle above tripod( with the heat proof mat underneath)
- Place bunsen burner underneath the tripod
- Place crucible on top of pipeclay triangle with the lid slightly opened
- Place magnesium strp within the crucible
- Ignite flame on bunsen burner and open gas pipe
- Observe any changes to the magnesium strip
- Collect remaining solid and place within a test tube in an ice bath
- Observe any changes
