Q

How to make a pure, dry sample of a soluble salt (acid and insoluble base method)?

A

1) Heat the acid in a water bath - speeds up the reaction. In a fume cupboard to avoid releasing acid fumes.
2) Then add the insoluble base to the acid. They will react to produce a soluble salt and water. You know when the base in excess when all the acid has been neutralised because the excess solid will sink to the bottom of the flask.
3) filter the excess solid using a filter paper and and funnel. So that the solution is only salt and water.
4) Heat the solution gently using a Bunsen burner to evaporate the water. Leave the solution to cool and allow the salt to crystallise. Leave the salt to dry.

31
Q

Why is a certain reactant used in excess?

A

To ensure the other reactant has been used up

32
Q

H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) ->

A

H2O (l)

33
Q

Qualities of a strong acid?

A

1) an acid that ionizes completely in aqueous solution
2) an acid that dissociates completely in aqueous solution
3) lower pH
BOTH: to produce the maximum amount of H+ ions / protons

34
Q

Qualities of a weak acid?

A

1) an acid that is only slightly ionized in aqueous solution
2) an acid that only slightly dissociates in aqueous solution
BOTH: small proportion of the acid molecules dissociate to produce H+ ions.

35
Q

If an acid is said to be concentrated what does it mean?

A

An acid with a large number of acid molecules compared to the volume of water is said to be concentrated.

36
Q

The lower the pH, the …

A

The higher the H+ concentration

37
Q

The higher the pH, the…

A

lower the H+ concentration / higher the OH- concentration

38
Q

W are the indicators used in titration?

A

phenolphtalein or methyl orange NOT UNIVERSAL INDICATOR AS IT CHANGES COLOUR GRADUALLY AND IN TITRATION WE WANT A SUDDEN COLOUR CHANGE

39
Q

color change in methyl orange,when substance goes from acid -> alkali?

A

red -> blue

40
Q

color change in phenolphtalein ,when substance goes from acid -> alkali?

A

colourless -> pink

41
Q

What is a pipette used for?

A

Long, narrow tubes used to suck up an accurate volume of liquid and transfer it to another container.

42
Q

What is a burette used for?

A

They have a tap at the bottom and can release the liquid into another container. To use it take an initial reading and then a final reading and calculate the difference

43
Q

What is the difference of use of a burette vs pipette in a titration?

A

While burette is used to deliver a chemical solution with a known concentration into a flask, pipette is used to measure the quantity of the solution where the concentration is not known.

44
Q

What is the test for CO2?

A

If limewater bubbles and turns cloudly, CO2 is present

45
Q

What is the test for hydrogen?

A

Put a lighted splint in the test tube.

If hydrogen is present it will make a’squeaky pop.

46
Q

What are redox reactions? Give an example

A

Redox means reduction and oxidation at the same time

Metal-acid reactions

47
Q

Reactivity series (more reactive to less reactive)

A 
Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Calcium
Magnesium
Carbon
Zinc
Iron 
Hydrogen 
Copper
48
Q

What does OIL RIG stand for?

A

Oxidation Is Loss

Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)

49
Q

How are acids neutralised?

A

Acids are neutralised by alkalis and bases to produce salts and water
Acids are neutralised by metal carbonates to produce salts, water and carbon
dioxide

50
Q

What do alkalis produce in water?

A

OH-

51
Q

How to carry out titration?

A
  1. Wash burette using dilute hydrochloric acid and then water
  2. Fill burette to 100cm3 with acid with the meniscus’ base on the 100cm3
    line
  3. Use 25cm3 pipette to add 25cm3
    of alkali into a conical flask, drawing alkali into the
    pipette using a pipette filler
  4. Add a few drops of a suitable indicator to the conical flask (eg: phenolphthalein
    which is pink when alkaline and colourless when acidic)
  5. Add acid from burette to alkali until end-point is reached (as shown by indicator)
  6. The titre (volume of acid needed to exactly neutralise the acid) is the difference
    between the first (100cm3
    ) and second readings on the burette
  7. Repeat the experiment to gain more precise results
52
Q

What symbol is ammonia?

A

NH3

53
Q

what is the point of filtering?

A

Separate insoluble solid from solution

54
Q

What is the point of heating the solution?

A

Evaporate excess water

55
Q

How to tell if something is a base?

A

Ends with carbonate or oxide

56
Q

How to tell if something is an alkali?

A

Ends with OH-
