from acids by reacting them with solid insoluble substances eg. metal, metal oxides, hydroxides or carbonates

62
Q

A

the solid is added to the acid in excess until it all reacts and the excess is filtered to produce a solution of salt

62

it dissolves to produce an alkaline solution

63
Q

what is the method for making salts

A
  1. gently warm the dilute acid using a Bunsen burner, then turn it off
  2. add the insoluble base to the acid in excess to completely react all the acid-wait until it has fully reacted the excess will sink to bottom
    3.filter out the excess solid to get a salt solution
  3. to get pure solid crystals- gently heat the solution using a water bath/electric heater to evaporate some of the water
  4. stop heating and leave to cool
  5. crystals of the salt should form, they can be filtered out and dried

A

a measure of the concentration of H+ ions in the solution

74
Q

A

difference= final pH-starting pH
4-7= -3
factor H+ ion changed=
10-(-3)= 103 or 1000

75
Q

what is a strong acid

A

ionises(dissociates) completely in solution

76
Q

what is a weak acid

A

only partially ionises in solution

77
Q

because a weak acid only partially ionises, what does this mean

81
Q

what is electrolysis

A

breaking down or splitting up using electricity

82
Q

what are electrolytes

A

liquids or solutions able to conduct electricity- molten or dissolved ionic compounds

83
Q

why is it important the electrolytes are molten or dissolved

A

so the ions are free to move and it can conduct electricity

84
Q

what is electrolysis used to extract

A

more reactive metals than aluminium

85
Q

what is the process of electrolysis

A
  • passing electric current through electrolytes cause the ions to move to the electrodes
  • positively charged ions move to the negative electrode(cathode)
  • negatively charged ions move to the positive electrode (anode)
  • ions are discharged at electrodes producing elements
86
Q

what is the rhyme to remember the electrodes

A

Postive
Anode
Negative
Cathode
ake

87
Q

what is an electrode

A

a solid that conducts electricity and is submerged in the electrolyte

88
Q

in copper chloride solution, which electrode does each one go to

A

copper- cu2+
chloride- cl-
copper-cathode
chloride- anode

89
Q

what happens to the positive ions in the electrolyte

A

the positive ions move to the cathode and gain electrons(reduced)

90
Q

what happens to the negative ions in the electrolyte

A

the negative ions moving to the anode lose electrons(oxidised)

91
Q

what should the properties of the electrodes be

A
  • high melting point

92
Q

what are cations

A

positive ions

93
Q

what are anions

A

negative ions

94
Q

what happens to lead bromide during electrolysis

A
  • bromine loses 1 electron each to form a Br2 molecule
  • positive lead gains 2 electrons and becomes a lead atom- reduction
95
Q

why does the electrode(anode) need to be replaced regularly

A

they are made of carbon so react with the oxygen produced to form CO2

96
Q

when using aluminium what is produced at each electrode

A

cathode- aluminium
anode- produces oxygen

97
Q

what is the problem with electrolysis

A

very expensive and requires lots of energy

98
Q

how is aluminium manufactured

A

by the electrolysis of a molten mixture of aluminium oxide and cyolite

99
Q

why is aluminium a mixture

A

aluminium oxide has a very high melting point- its mixed with cryolite to lower the melting point- uses less energy, so cheaper and less polluting

100
Q

how do you predict with ions will discharge at the cathode

A
  1. metal or hydrogen
  2. if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen it will remain in solution and hydrogen gas will be produced
  3. if metal is less reactive, a solid pure metal will be produced
101
Q

how do you predict what ions will discharge at the anode

A
  1. halides(cl-,Br-,L-) molecules chlorine ,bromine or iodine formed
  2. hydroxide (OH-) and oxygen produced
  3. other negative ions
102
Q

what is important when writing half equations

A

same number of atoms/ions on either side
- charge on either side is equal

103
Q

what does a half equation show

A

show reactions at the electrodes

104
Q

at the cathode, hydrogen produced unless metal is more reactive
at the anode, oxygen is produced unless halide ions are there
- why does this happen

A

in the solution, water molecules break down and produce hydrogen/hydroxide ions that are discharged

105
Q

what is present in every aqueous solutions

A

OH- and H+

106
Q

when copper sulphate is electrolysed what is produced at each electrode

A

anode- no halide ions so oxygen + water are produced
cathode- copper is less reactive than hydrogen so copper is produced

107
Q

when sodium chloride solution is electrolysed what is produced at each electrode

A

anode- chloride ions are present so chlorine gas produced
cathode- sodium is more reactive than H+ so hydrogen gas is formed
