Quantitative chemistrt Flashcards
How do you work out concentration?
Amount/volume
What is concentration measured in?
Mol/dm3
Hydrochloric acid is added to a strip of magnesium and a gas is released. Write the symbol equation for this.
HCl + Mg -> MgCl + H2
Mg= +2 ion Cl= -1 ion
HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2
Balanced:
2HCl + Mg -> MgCl2 + H2
Relative formula mass of sulphuric acid
98
What is moles?
Unit for amount of a substance
How many atoms are there in a mole?
6x10 23
Equation for moles
Moles= Mass/mr
Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) decomposes into water and oxygen. How much oxygen gas will be given off from 40.8g of hydrogen peroxide?
H2O2 -> H2O + O2
Balanced:
2H2O2 -> 2H2O + O2
Mr
2H2O= 68
2H2O= 36
O2=32
- 8 -> ?
- 8 -> 19.2
Titration method
Pipette 25.0 cm3 of alkali into a conical flask, add a phenolphthalein indicator
Fill a burette with an acid of known concentration
Take the initial reading on the burette and record it
While swirling the flask, use the tap to slowly add the acid into the alkali
When the first permanent colour change (Pink -> Clear) Stop adding acid
Record the final volume in the burette, calculate the volume of acid to neutralise alkali using initial volume.
Make sure results are within 0.10 cm3.
Work out mean ignoring anomalous results
Properties of a strong acid
Fully dissociate HCl -> H+ + Cl- Big difference between strength and concentration Hydrochloric Nitric Sulphuric
Properties of a weak acid
Partially dissociate
H2O reversible arrows H+ + OH-
True or false
Ionic Compounds have to be molten or dissolved to be able to conduct electrolysis
True
What is cryolite used for?
To reduce the melting point of molten aluminium
What is attracted to the cathode in aluminium electrolysis?
Al3 + 3e- -> Al
What is attracted to the anode in aluminium electrolysis?
2O2- 4e- -> O2
