Stuff I forget Flashcards

What are the properties of IONIC COMPOUNDS?
- Conducts electricity ( Only in liquid, ions can move around)
- High melting points and boiling points (strong ELECTROSTATIC force of attraction between oppositely charged ions)
How do metallic bonds form?
due to electrostatic attraction between the positively charged metal ions and the negatively charged delocalised electrons
Why are some metals more reactive than others?
- greater distance between the positive nucleus and outer electron
- outer electron more weakly held
How can we show that SULPHURIC ACID is a dehydrating agent?
- By reacting it with Sugar and Hydrated Copper (II) Sulfate
How do we Identify Ammonium Ions (NH4)
- By adding dilute SODIUM HYDROXIDE and gently heating
- If Ammonia is present it will turn Red Litmus paper into Blue
Why are catalyst used during the HABER PROCESS?
Reduce the time taken to reach equilibrium
What are the conditions used in STAGE 2 of contact process?
Vanadium oxide
Atmospheric Pressure
450 degrees Celsius
How do you test for sulphate ions ( SO4 2‒)
- By adding Barium Chloride
- A white precipitate of barium sulphate forms if sulphate ions are present
solid
mass = moles x mr
liquid
moles= conc x vol/1000
What unit do you use for concentration?
Mol dm-3
What is Iron ore used for in a blast furnace?
Source of iron
What is Coke used for in a blast furnace?
as a fuel and to produce carbon monoxide for the reduction
What is Limestone used for in a blast furnace?
to remove impurities
