Q

Give example of homogenous catalyst and why it occurs

A

Iron Catalyses thiosulphate and iodide reaction

Ions are both negetive so repel so high activation energy

Fe2+ is reacted with thiosulphate ions and are regenerated with I-

Bind to DNA in cancer cells preventing cell growth

28
Q

What colour are aqueous 2 +copper ions

A

Blue

29
Q

In precipitation and ligand substitution reactions NH3 is used, how is it used in each.

A

Precipitation = Dilute and small volume = acts as base

Ligand substitution = excess conc NH3 = substitutes aqua ligands

30

Colour of tetra aqua dihydroxo copper precipitate

A

blue solid

31
Q

Colour tetra ammine diaqua copper solution

A

Dark blue solution

32
Q

Compared the size of chloro and aqua ligands and why it matters

A

Cl- larger than H2O

Only 4 Cl fit per 6 H2O

33
Q

Colour of tetra chloro copper solution

A

Yellow

34
Q

Colour of cr3+ aq

A

Violet

Green with h2so4

35
Q

Colour tri aqua tri hydroxo chromium precipitate

A

Green grey

36
Q

Colour hexa ammine chromium aq

A

Purple

37
Q

How can you tell if a complex ion is a precipitate or solution

A

No charge = solid

Charged = aq

38
Q

Which transition metal hydroxides. Are soluble in excess alkali

A

Chromium

39
Q

Colour fe 2+ aq

A

3

47
Q

How many EDTA fit around a metal ion

A

1

48
Q

What can be used to oxidise iron, what colour change is observed

A

Manganese oxide ions

Purple to colourless

49
Q

What can be used to reduce iron ions and what colour chnage is observed

A

Iodide ions

Yellow to pale green

Brown of iodine obscures change

50
Q

What can be used to reduce cr2o7 2- ions to what

A

Zinc powder

To cr3+ and further to cr2+

Orange to green to pale blue

51
Q

What can be used to oxidise cr3+ ions and what colour change is there

A

Hot alkaline hydrogen peroxide

Green to orange

52
Q

What can be used to reduce copper ions (cu2+)

Colour change

A

Iodide ions

Pale blue to white precipitate (CuI)
Iodide is brown so obscures colour change

53
Q

How can copper ions be disproportionated

A

Using hot Dilute sulphuric acid
