Q

Describe an experiment to determine the empirical formula for a compound

A

Weigh crucible
Put a sample of magnesium into the crucible and weigh it.
Calculate the mass of magnesium by subtracting the mass of the empty crucible
Heat over Bunsen burner
Carefully lift lid from time to time to allow some oxygen into the crucible for the magnesium to fully oxidise without letting any magnesium oxide escape.
Heat until mass of crucible it at its max
Repeat step 2
To find ep formula you need mass of magnesium and mass of oxygen- to find mass of oxygen atoms subtract the mass of magnesium used from the mass of magnesium oxide.
Divide two masses by relative atomic masses and simplify.

Q

Explain the movement of ions during electrolysis

A

Positively charged ions move to the negative electrode (CATHODE) during electrolysis. They gain electrons and are reduced.
Negatively charged ions move towards the positive electrode (ANODE) during electrolysis. They lose electrons and are oxidised.

Q

How and why are some metals extracted from their ores by heating carbon

Q

What happens in alloying

A

Within the mixture of two or more elements, where at least on element is a metal (the alloy) Alloys contain atoms of different sizes, which distort the regular arrangement of atoms. This makes it more difficult for the layers to slide over each other, so alloys are harder than the pure metal

92
Q

What effect does Higher temperature have on equilibrium

A

Higher temperatures reach equilibrium faster because molecules move faster and therefore more frequent collisions because more molecules have energy. More molecules have required energy therefore yield will be lower because higher temperatures favour the endothermic reaction and so equilibrium shifts to the left hand side

93

110
Q

How to set up an electrochemical cell

A

Get two electrodes (should be inert eg- platinum or carbon). Clean the surfaces of the electrodes using a piece of sandpaper. Don’t touch the metals again otherwise you could transfer grease. Place both electrodes in a beaker filled with your electrolyte, connect the electrodes to a power supply using crocodile clips and wires.

111
Q

Explain how to set up non intert electrodes in electrolysis

A

Eg- copper electrodes in solution of copper sulfates. Follow same method but use non inert electrodes. As reaction continues, the mass of the anode will decrease and the mass of the cathode will increase. This is because copper is transferred from the anode to the cathode.
Leave cell running for 30 mins to get a decent change in mass

A

Changing pressure only effects equilibrium involving gases

122
Q

What happens if you increase the pressure

A

The equilibrium will move towards the side that has fewer moles of gas to reduce pressure

123
Q

What happens if you decrease the pressure

A

The equilibrium will move towards the side that has more moles of gas to increase the pressure

124
