Paper 2 ewwwwwwwwww Flashcards
How is a polymer made
A polymer is made by joining together thousands of small, identical molecules (monomers)
Give two key points about condensation polymers
with is condensation polymers we start with two different monomers
each monomer has two of the same functional groups
How do we test for hydrogen
Insert a burning splint into a test tube that contains the gas and if it creates a pop sound then hydrogen is present
How do we test for oxygen
Place a glowing splint into a test tube and if the splint relights oxygen is present
How do we test for carbon dioxide
Place a solution of lime water in a tube and bubbles the gas throw pipette into this solution if we repeat this several times the cloud water turns cloudy if it does time cloudy calm dioxide is present
How do you test for chlorine
Just for chlorine instead of damp litmus paper into the mouth and test tube containing the gas if the litmus paper turns white then chlorine is present
How to carry out all flame tests- the setup
First replace a small amount of mechanical onto wire mounted in a handle, we then place the end of this into a blue Bunsen burner flame and the colour of the flame can be used to work out the metal ion present
What colour flame does lithium produce
A crimson flame
What colour flame do you get for sodium
A yellow flame
What colour flame does copper ions produce
A green flame
What colour flame does a potassium ion produce
A lilac flame
What colour flame does calcium produce
And orange red flame
