Q

Describe a practical to show the effect of the concentration of a reactant on the rate of the reaction. (hint: sulfur)

A

effect of concentration on rate (sulfur):

1) 10cm3 of sodium thiosulfate into conical flask
2) place this onto a printed bold black cross
3) add 10cm3 of hydrochloric acid, swirl and start stopwatch
4) look through top of conical flask, swirl and stop when you can no longer see the cross (sodium, a product, causes cloudiness)
5) repeat with lower concentrations of sodium thiosulfate
- may not be repeatable as different eyesights

Q

Describe a practical to show the effect of the concentration of a reactant on the rate of the reaction. (hint: HCl)

A

effect of concentration on rate (HCl):

1) 50cm3 of HCl into conical flask
2) attach a bung and delivery tube
3) place the delivery tube in water and an upturned measuring cylinder filled with water over the delivery tube
4) add 3cm strip of Mg to HCl and start stopwatch
5) H will be trapped in the measuring cylinder, measure every 10s until no more produced
6) repeat with different concentrations of HCl

Q

Describe a practical to produce a chromatagram.

A

chromatography:

1) draw a pencil line on chromatography paper about 2cm above the bottom (pencil as not soluble)
2) mark 5 pencil spots at equal spaces (at least 1cm) across the line
3) use a capillary tube (thin glass tube) to put a small spot of each substance on the spots (must be relatively small to prevent overlap)
4) pour water into a beaker at a depth of 1cm (this is the solvent)
5) attach the paper to a glass rod using tape and lower the paper into the beaker; the bottom should just dip into the water
- not above pencil line as will wash substance off of line
- sides of paper must not touch sides of beaker as it will interfere with how the water moves
- put a lid on the beaker to reduce evaporation
6) water moves up paper and colours carried up; DO NOT MOVE THE BEAKER
7) remove paper when water is about 3/4 up paper
- use pencil to mark where water reached
8) hang paper up to dry

Q

Describe the test for carbonates.

A

test for carbonates:

  • add dilute acid
  • the acid will react with the carbonate to form CO2, and will see fizzing (effervescence), but not definitely CO2
  • bubble gas through limewater, if cloudy, it is CO2, so must have started with a carbonate

18
Q

Describe a practical to establish whether the water sample is pure.

A

pure water sample:

1) check pH by placing a small amount of water on universal indicator paper, green if pH 7
- if not green, contains dissolved acid or alkali, so impure
- if green, maybe pure… test for dissolved solids
2) use a balance to weigh and record evaporating basin
3) fill evaporating basin with water sample and place on tripod
4) use Bunsen to gently heat until evaporated
5) allow evaporating basin to cool and weigh again
- if contained dissolved solids, mass will have increased
- if mass didn’t increase, could be pure but may have contained dissolved gases

19
Q

Describe a practical to purify water by distillation.

A

purify water:

1) Bunsen under conical flask with water sample, with bung connected to delivery tube to test tube in water and ice bath
2) gently heat water so boils gently and evaporates
3) water vapour travels along delivery tube and condenses in test tube (this is distilled, pure water, pH 7)

20
Q

Describe a practical to discover the conditions needed for iron to rust.

A

rusting iron conditions:
1) one test tube with iron nail in distilled water, open to air (water and air present), nail will be covered in rust

2) iron nail in distilled, boiled water (removes dissolved air) and oil on top (prevents air from dissolving in the water) (no air, just water present), no rust
3) iron nail in anhydrous calcium chloride powder (removes water from air) and rubber bung (prevents moist air from entering) (no water, just air present), no rust
- shows air and water must be present for rusting
