Q

Solubility of sodium, potassium and ammonium ions

A

Soluble

30
Q

Solubility of nitrates

A

A

Soluble

Except silver, barium and lead

32
Q

Solubility of common sulfate

A

Soluble (except lead/ barium/ calcium)

33
Q

Solubility of carbonates/ hydroxides

A

Insoluble

Except for sodium, potassium and ammonium

34
Q

Which reaction can be used to make a pure, dry sample of insoluble salt?

A

Precipitation

2 soluble salts

35
Q

Precipitation reaction method to make insoluble salt

A
  1. ) dissolve salts each into separate testubes of deionised water.
  2. ) tip both into a small beaker and stir (precipitate should form)
  3. ) pour through a filtered funnel into conical flask
  4. ) dry remaining precipitate from filter in a dessicator/oven.
36
Q

2 methods of making insoluble salts

A

(Insoluble) Base+ acid&raquo_space; Salt + water

Neutralisation reaction - acid + alkali > salt

37
Q

How are soluble salts made when using a base + acid?

A
  1. ) heat acid in a water bath (speeds up reaction)
  2. ) add insoluble base to the acid (creates soluble salt + water)
  3. ) filter excess solid
  4. ) heat solution gently w b burner and leave to cool and so crystallise
38
Q

Why’s it important to have excess base?

A

So there’s no leftover acid in the product.

39
Q

How are soluble salts made in neutralisation reactions?

A
  1. ) measure set amount of acid into flask w pipette and add indicator.
  2. ) add alkali slowly to acid w burette, mixing until changes colour.
  3. ) carry out reaction w same volumes of alkali and acid (no indicator so is pure).
  4. ) solution left is salt and water which should be evaporated and so left to crystallise. Filter off and dry.
40
Q

Why are titrations used?

A

To find exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise a given quantity of alkali (reversible)

41
Q

What’s concentration measured in?

A

Moles per dm cubed

42
Q

Concentration =

A

Moles number/ solution volume

43
Q

What kind of reaction is the ionisation of a weak acid?

A

Reversible

44
Q

Acid strength

A

What proportion of acid molecules ionise in water.

45
Q

Acid concentration

A

How much acid is in a litre of water.

46
Q

Opposite of concentrated

A

Dilute

47
Q

What happens if H+ ions increase by a factor of ten?

A

Ph decreases by 1

48
Q

Acid + metal hydroxide >

A

Salt + water

49
Q

Acid + metal oxide»

A

Salt + water

50
Q

Electrolysis

A

The breaking down of a substance using electricity.

Electric current is passed through an electrolyte, causing it to decompose.

51
Q

Electrolyte

A

Molten / dissolved ionic compound

52
Q

Cations

A

Positive ions

53
Q

Anions

A

Negative ions

54
Q

Where do cations go?

A

Towards the cathode to be reduced.

55
Q

Cathode

A

Negative electrode

56
Q

Anode

A

Positive electrode

57
Q

Where do anions go?

A

Toward anode to be oxidised.

58
Q

What happens to each ion when they reach an electrode?

A

They are discharged

59
Q

Electrochemical cell

A

A circuit made up of anode, cathode, electrolyte, power source and wires connecting electrodes.

60
Q

How do you set up an electrochemical cell if the electrolyte is a solution?

A

Clean 2 inert electrodes w Emery paper (sandpaper) and place both electrodes in beaker of electrolyte, connected to power supply.

61
Q

How do you set up an electrochemical cell if the electrolyte is a molten ionic substance?

A

Put substance in crucible and heat w Bunsen burner until molten (in fume cupboard).
Dip 2 clean, inert electrodes into electrolyte and connect to power supply.

62
Q

What happens at the cathode in aqueous solutions?

A

Hydrogen and metal ions are present.

Hydrogen gas is produced if metal is more reactive than hydrogen. If metal is less reactive, solid layer of pure metal is produced.

63
Q

What happens at the anode in aqueous solutions?

A

Hydroxide and halide ions are present, therefore molecules of halides are formed.
Oxygen is formed if no halides are present.

64
Q

Solution of copper sulfate ions

A

Cu2+
SO42-
OH-
H+

65
Q

What happens to copper sulphate at cathode w inert electrodes?
Ionic equation?

A

Is less reactive than hydrogen, so is reduced to produce copper metal.
Cu2+ + 2e-&raquo_space; Cu

66
Q

What happens to copper sulphate at anode w inert electrodes?

Ionic equation?

A

No halide ions are present so oxygen is produced and oxidised.

4OH-&raquo_space; 2H2O + O2 + 4e-

67
Q

What happens to the mass of the anode in the electrolysis of copper sulfate with non-inert electrodes?

A

Mass of anode will decrease as copper is transferred from anode to cathode.
Will take longer time (eg 30 mins) to see change in mass

68
Q

What happens to the mass of the cathode in the electrolysis of copper sulfate with non-inert electrodes?

A

It increases as copper is transferred from anode to cathode.

69
Q

How does the electrical supply act in the non-inert electrolysis of copper sulfate?

A

Electrons are pulled off of copper atoms at the anodes and are offered at cathodes to copper ions.

70
Q

How can copper be extracted from its ore?

A

Reduction w carbon

Is impure tho and so electrolysis is used to purify it.

71
Q

What occurs in purification of copper via electrolysis?

A

Impure copper anode is oxidised, forming copper ions in electrolyte.
Ions are then reduced at cathode and are added as layer of pure copper.
Impurities sink to bottom as sludge.
