Q

making salts from acids and alkalis (titration)

A
  1. use the pipette and pipette filler to add a measured volume of alkali to a clean conical flask
  2. add a few drops of indicator and put the conical flask on a white tile. fill the burette with acid and note the starting volume
  3. slowly add the acid from the burette to the alkali in the conical flask, swirling to mix
  4. stop adding the acid when the end-point is reached (when the indicator first permanently changes colour). note the final volume reading
  5. repeat steps 1 to 5 until you get concordant titres. more accurate results are obtained if acid is added drop by drop near to the end-point

  4. leave the washed precipitate aside or in a warm oven to dry
45
Q

what is electrolysis?

A

-electrical energy, from a direct current (dc) supply, decomposes electrolytes
-the free moving ions in electrolytes are attracted to the oppositely charged electrodes, which connect to the dc supply

46
Q

what are electrolytes?

A

-ionic compounds that are in the molten state (heated so they become liquids), or dissolved in water
-under these conditions, the ions in electrolytes are free to move within the liquid or solution

47
Q

cathode

A

negative electrode

48
Q

anode

A

positive electrode

49
Q

what happens to cations at the cathode?

A

cations gain electrons (metals)

50
Q

what happens to anions at the anode?

A

anions lose electrons (non-metals)

51
Q

why can water conduct electricity?

A

a small proportion of its molecules dissociate into H+ and OH- ions

52
Q

during the electrolysis of water:

A

-H+ ions are attracted to the cathode, gain electrons and form hydrogen gas

-OH- ions are attracted to the anode, lose electrons and form oxygen gas

53
Q

what does an electrolyte formed by dissolving an ionic compound contain?

A

two parts of negative & positive ions (positive H+ from water & positive ions from compound, negative OH- from water & negative ions from compound)

54
Q

what is produced at the cathode in electrolysis of dissolved ionic compounds?

A

the metal is produced at the cathode if it is less reactive than hydrogen

55

please - potassium
stop - sodium
calling - calcium
me - magnesium
a - aluminium
careless - carbon
zebra - zinc
instead - iron
try - tin
learning - lead
how - hydrogen
copper - copper
saves - silver

56
Q

what is produced at the anode in electrolysis of dissolved ionic compounds?

A

if halide ions are present, then the nonmetal/halide forms

57
Q

electrolysis of copper sulfate (using inert electrodes)

A
  1. pour some copper sulfate solution into a beaker
  2. place two graphite rods into the copper sulfate solution. attach one electrode to the negative terminal of a dc supply, and the other electrode to the positive terminal
  3. completely fill two small test tubes with copper sulfate solution and position a test tube over each electrode
  4. turn on the power supply and observe what happens at each electrode
  5. test any gas produced with a glowing splint and a burning splint
  6. record your observations and the results of your tests
58
Q

observations of the negative and positive terminals of copper sulfate electrolysis using inert electrodes:

A

-brown/pink solid forms (copper) at the cathode
-there are bubbles of colourless gas (gas relights a glowing splint - oxygen)

59
Q

electrolysis of copper sulphate using copper electrodes

A
  1. pour some copper sulfate solution into a beaker
  2. measure and record the mass of a piece of copper foil. attach it to the negative terminal of a dc supply, and dip the copper foil into the copper sulfate solution
  3. repeat step 2 with another piece of copper foil, but this time attach it to the positive terminal
  4. make sure the electrodes do not touch each other, then turn on the power supply
  5. adjust the power supply to achieve a constant current
  6. after 20 minutes, turn off the dc supply
  7. carefully remove one of the electrodes. gently wash it with distilled water, then dip it into propanone. lift the electrode out and allow all the liquid to evaporate. do not wipe the electrodes clean. measure and record the mass of the electrode.
  8. repeat step 6 with the other electrode
  9. make sure you know which is which. repeat the experiment with fresh electrodes and different currents
60
Q

how are the results of copper sulfate electrolysis with copper electrodes recorded?

A

with a table:

  1. calculate changes in mass
  2. plot a graph the show the change mass at both electrodes
61
Q

evaluation for copper sulfate electrolysis:

A

-the gain in mass by the negative electrode is the same as the loss in mass by the positive electrode
-the copper deposited on the negative electrode must be the same copper ions that are lost from the positive electrode

62
Q

hazards, risks and precautions of copper sulfate electrolysis with copper electrodes:

A
  1. copper sulfate solution
    -causes skin and serious eye irritation -> wear gloves and eye protection
  2. propanone
    -highly flammable liquid and vapour may cause drowsiness or dizziness -> keep away from naked flames - use it in a fume cupboard
63
Q

purifying copper by electrolysis

A
  1. get a beaker with pure and impure copper rods dipped into copper sulfate solution
  2. the pure copper rod is connected to the negative terminal of a battery (cathode) and the impure rod is connected to the positive terminal (anode)
  3. the pure copper rod has increased in size while the impure rod has deteriorated, leaving a pool of anode sludge at the bottom of the beaker

during electrolysis, the anode loses mass as copper dissolves, and the cathode gains mass as copper is deposited

64
Q

A

used to represent the reaction that happens at an electrode during electrolysis

65
Q

reduction

A

gain of electrons

66
Q

oxidation

A

67
Q

A

oxidation is loss, reduction is gain

68
Q

in half equations:

A

-electrons are shown as e-
-the numbers of atoms of each element must be the same on both sides
-the total charge on each side must be the same (usually zero)

69
Q

half equations at the cathode

A

positively charged ions gain electrons at the cathode (the reaction will look like an ion + e- -> atom)

70
Q

half equations at the anode

A

negatively charged ions lose electrons at the anode (the reaction will look like an ion -> atom + e-)
