18
Q

A

6.02x10^23 , avogadro’s constant

19
Q

What do we do after weighing out the Mr in grams

A

We have 1 mole of the particle represented by that formula , therefore we can count particles by weighing them

20
Q

Find it’s Mr , stick a “g” sign after it

A

1,000,000g

22
Q

1kg in grams

A

1000g

23
Q

Calculating reacting masses using chemical equations

A

Find moles
Move them using ratio
Find mass that is asked for

24
Q

What do we do to work out the limiting reactant

What are the other reactant described as

A

We use the mole ratio from the balanced chemical equation

Being in excess

25
Q

Calculations involving a limiting reactant
What will be given
Method

A

Masses of more than 1 reactant
Work out which is in excess and then use the other , to calculate mass of product

Calculate moles of each substance
Ratio them
Find the smallest
Convert to mass

26
Q

What does % yield tell us

A

Gives a measure of how efficient the chemical process is

27
Q

Why is % yield never 100%

A

Competing side reactions
This is due to other chemical reaction that may also take place
Physical loss of product in separation from the reaction mixture eg:
- loss in transfer from 1 piece of apparatus to another
- some product may be left on filter paper during filtration
- some product may stay in solution after crystallisation
Reaction is reversible and doesn’t go to completion

28
Q

Empirical formula by experiment

A

The word empirical = determined by experiment , by determining the empirical formula of a wide range of compounds scientists came up with the rules about VALENCY that we now use to work out formula

29
Q

Empirical formula working out

A

Moles
Ratio

30
Q

How to find molecular formula hydrocarbon , Mr = 42 , EP= CH2

A

From empirical formula if you know the Mr of the compound

Add up the atomic masses of the atoms in empirical formula

The mass of the atom in the empirical formula is eg 14

42/14 = 3

So you need to multiply the numbers in the empirical by 3 therefore hydrocarbon is C3H6

31
Q

Finding the formula of copper oxide

What does the hydrogen do
How to work out the mass of O2 in CuO
What can be calculated from these values

A

Passed over heated copper oxide it reduces it, taking away oxygen to leave copper

By measuring the initial mass of the copper oxide and the final mass of copper obtained

Formula of copper oxide

32
Q

Finding out the formula of copper oxide
Observations

HOW DOES ALL THE COPPER OXIDE BEEN REDUCED

A

Black solid (CuO) turns red-brown
Solid condensation initially appears on the cooler part of the tube

After heating apparatus must be allowed to cool down before the supply of hydrogen gas is turned off as the hot metal would reoxidise into copper oxide

HEATING TO A CONSTANT MASS , this is the process of heating and weighing until the mass stops changing, ensures that the reaction is complete

33
Q

Finding the empirical formula of MgO

A

Cut a piece of magnesium about 5 cm long , if looks black or tarnished then clean it using emery paper, twist it into a loose coil
Weigh the crucible with the lid and then the magnesium inside the crucible with the lid
Light the bunsen and begin to heat the crucible
Once the crucible is hot gently lift the lid using tongs a little, to allow some oxygen to get in you may see the magnesium begin to flare up
(If the lid is off for to long then the magnesium oxide product will begin to escape don’t let this happen)
Keep heating and lifting with the lid until you see no further chemical reaction
At this point remove the lid and heat for another couple of minutes , replace the lid if it appears you are loosing some product
Turn off the Bunsen and allow apparatus to cool
Re-weigh the crucible with the lid containing the product
Heat the crucible again for another couple of minutes and allow to cool again
Repeat this step until the mass reading is consistent called “heat to a constant mass”

34
Q

Test for water

A

When water is added to anhydrous copper(II) sulfate it turns from a white powder to blue

35
Q

Degree of hydration

36
Q

Calculating Mr and the % of water for hydrated salts

What do some ionic compounds contain
Eg CuSO4.5H2O contains,……… water molecules
Mr = 250

A

Water of crystallisation, this must also be counted when calculating Mr

5

%water = 90/250 x100
=36%

38
Q

Determining the formula of a compound containing water of crystallisation experimentally
How to calculate
1 the mass of the anhydrous salt
2 the mass of the water in the crystals

A

We need to take a sample of hydrated salt and heat to drive off the water of crystallisation. In the experiment we need to find 1 and 2

The residue left after heating

The decrease in mass on heating

39
Q

Finding the mass of water in a hydrated compound

A

Weigh and record mass of crucible
Add around 25g of hydrated compound, weigh and record mass of crucible and hydrated compound
Place the crucible in a pipe clay triangle and heat to remove the water of crystallisation
Allow the crucible to cool, then weigh and record mass
Repeat the heating, cooling a and reweighing until two masses are the same (heat to constant mass)

40
Q

Finding the formula of hydrated CuSO4

A

Weigh empty crucible
Weigh into it 2-3g of hydrated CuSO4 , record all weighings accurate to the nearest 0.01g
Set up apparatus as shown
Heat the crucible and contents gently at first,over a medium Bunsen flame so that the water of crystallisation is drove of steadily . The blue colour of hydrated compound should gradually fade into an anhydrous greyish white.
Avoid over heating which may cause further decomposition and stop heating , toxic or corrosive fumes may be evoked.
A total heating time of about 10minutes should be enough
Allow crucible and contents to cool, the tongs may be used to remove the crucible from the hot clay triangle onto the heat resistant mat where it should cool more quickly
Re-weigh the crucible and its contents once cold
