Q

Describe how you could use chromatography to identify a banned food dye in food colouring.

A
  • Place food dyes on pencil line on chromatography paper.
  • Place paper in solvent (e.g. water)
  • The dye will dissolve in the water and spread up the paper.
  • The colours in the dye will separate.
  • Compare the patterns of the food dyes with the chromatogram of the banned food dye.

Q

Calculate the relative atomic mass of chlorine given the percentage abundances of the following isotopes of Chlorine:

75 % Chlorine-35 and 25% Chlorine-37

*this is just an example, you need to be able to do this for any element – you will be given the percentage abundances of isotopes

A

(75% x 35) + (25% x 37)

= 35.5

A
29
Q

Q. What is the charge on an atom?

Q. What relationship is there between the number of protons and electrons in an atom?

A
  • There is no overall charge on atom
  • The number of protons equals the number of electrons.
30
Q

Q. What is the approximate size of the radius of an atom?

Q. Approximately how many times smaller is the radius of the nucleus of the atom?

A
  • 0.1 nm (1 x 10-10 m)
  • The radius of a nucleus is less than 1/10000 of that of the atom (ie over 10000 times smaller).
31
Q

What is the definition of an isotope?

A

Atoms of the same element with a different number of neutrons.

32
Q

Q. How do you calculate the mass number of an atom?

Q. What does the atomic number tell you about the particles in an atom?

A
  • Mass number is the sum of protons and neutrons.
  • Atomic number tells you the number of protons in an atom.
33
Q

What does the Group Number tell you about the electrons in an element?

A

Group Number = Number of electrons in outer energy level / shell.

34
Q

How were elements in the early periodic tables arranged?
