Q

Would it be sensible to store copper (II) sulfate in an iron tank?

A

Cu 2+ (aq) + Fe -> Cu (s) + Fe 2+
Cu 2+ is the strongest oxidant and Fe is the strongest reductant. Fe will decompose into Fe 2+ allowing cu2+ to break out. It would not be sensible

Q

What is a weak/ Tiprotic acid?

A

When its weak it means that it does not release H+ readily and Triprotic means that it is ready to donate 3H+ from the substance.

Q

Water has a high surface tension

A

A Structure that has non polar bonds

31
Q

When an alkaline solution with a pH of 8 has a large volue of water added to it , the pH will

A

Fall as the concentration of the OH- ion has decreased

32
Q

Which of the following lists the solutions in order of increasing pH

A

H2sO4, HNo3, Ch3COOH, H2O, NH3, NaOh

33
Q

The pH of 25.0ml of solution of nitric acid (HNo3) is closest to

A

[h3o+] = -log(0.002)

34
Q

Hydrolysis

A

One which a substance reacts with water to form OH- or H3O+ ions.

35
Q

Acid- Base

A

Protons are being donated to OH- Ions

36
Q

Ionisation

A

when a substance reacts with to produce.

37
Q

[ OH-]

A

10^-14 divided by 10^ pH

38
Q

[H30+]

A

M= 9,2x 10^14

M+ -log(9.2x10^-14 =3

39
Q

Why is Ethanoic acid (CH3C00H) Monoprotic even though it has 4 hydrogen atoms

A

Because one hydrogen is in a polar bond which can be donated and 3 are not in a polar bond therefor cannot be donated

40
Q

Equation and observation of MgO powder being added to dilute HCL

A

MgO (s) + 2HCl (aq) -> H2O (l) + Mgcl2 (aq)

The solid powder would disappear

41
Q

the Ph of a 0.010M solution of a strong DIprotic acid will be

A

between 1.7 and 2.0 as the second proton is only partially donated.

  • log(0.01) =2
  • log (0.02) = 1.7
42
Q

Neutralisation

A

The process of an acid reacting with a base. the properties of the acid and base can be cancelled out.
