Q

What does the pH scale measure

A

The pH scale measures the acidity or alkalinity of solution. A pH less than 7 is acidic. Alkalis dissolve in water to give a pH greater than 7. A pH equal to 7 indicated a neutral solution.

Q

Whats the method to making a standard solution

A

•first calculate mass of solute needed
•Then weigh it into weighing boat using 3 d.p balance

•Once dissolved transfer into volumetric flask DONT SPILL
•Then rinse to ensure none of the original solution is left do this 2-3 times
• Once rinsed place stopper
•gently shake
•Then fill up volumetric flask with distilled water until the bottom of the meniscus is touching the line

Q

Whats the collision theory

A

For a reaction to occur, the particles that are reacting must collide with each other. Only some collisions take place cause a chemical reaction to happen. These are called successful collisions. The greater the number of successful collisions, the faster the rate of reaction.

26
Q

What are horizontal and vertical lines called on the periodic table

A

Horizontal-Periods
Vertical-Groups

27
Q

What are four major signs of a chemical reaction

A

•colour change
•energy produced
•Gas released
•New substance formed

28
Q

What are the properties of alkali metals (group 1)

A

They are soft metals with low density that react rapidly with water producing an alkaline solution and hydrogen gas. The metals become more reactive as you go down the group

29
Q

What are the properties of the alkaline earth metals (group 2)

A

They are slightly less reactive, harder and denser than group 1

30
Q

What are the properties of the halogens (group 7)

A

Fluorine and chlorine are gases. Bromine is one of only two liquid elements. Iodine is solid. They exist as diatomic molecules-they have two atoms in each molecule. As you go down the group the halogens become less reactive.

31
Q

What are the properties of the noble gases (group 0)

A

They are very unreactive and exist as individual atoms

32
Q

What are the properties of the transition metals

A

They are found between group 2 and 3. Examples are iron, copper and gold. They are generally quite dense and many form brightly coloured compounds.

33
Q

What does the atomic number tell us

A

How many protons that element has.

34
Q

Whats the maximum amount of electrons the first energy level can hold

A

Two electrons

35
Q

Whats the maximum amount of electrons the other energy shells can hold

A

Maximum of 8 electrons

36
Q

Whats the mass number

A

The mass number tells us the number of protons and neutrons in an atom

37
Q

Whats an isotope

A

An isotope are atoms with the same atomic number but a different mass number

38
Q

How to atoms form a stable electron arrangement

A

Atoms can either lose, gain or share electrons

39
Q

Whats a covalent bond

A

A covalent bond is a shared pair of electrons between atoms of two non-metal elements.

43
Q

What structure do Ionic compounds form

A

Lattice Structure

44
Q

What happens to the outer electrons in metallic bonding

A

They become delocalised (free to move)

45
Q

What are the properties of Ionic lattice

A

Ionic lattice have high boiling and melting points, they are solid at room temperature and they only conduct electricity when molten or in solution.

46
Q

What are the properties of covalent network

A

In covalent network the boiling and melting points are very high, they are solid at room temperature and they never conduct electricity except graphite

Q

What are the properties of Discrete Covalent molecules

A

Discrete covalent molecules have low melting or boiling points, they are liquid or gas at room temperature and they never conduct electricity

48
Q

49
Q

Whats electrolysis

A

Electrolysis is the breaking up of an ionic solution using electricity

50
Q

What are alkalis

A

They are soluble bases. An alkaline solution can be formed when a metal oxide is dissolved in water

51
Q

How is an acidic solution formed

A

They are formed when a non-metal is dissolved in water

52
Q

Why do we carry out titration experiments

A

Titration experiments can be carried out to accurately measure the volume of substances that react in chemical reactions. This technique is commonly used in neutralisation reactions and can also be used to calculate an unknown concentration

53
Q

How do you carry out a titration experiment

A
  1. If the sample is solid its weighed using an accurate balance, this is then dissolved to make up a known volume of solution
  2. A pipette is used to measure accurately a volume of this solution. A safety pipette filler is used to draw solution into the pipette. This is emptied into a conical flask.
  3. A few drops of indicator may be added to the conical flask. This will show a change of colour when the titration is complete.
  4. A second chemical is places in the burette. The other solution is of a chemical that will react with the synthesised chemical sample in the conical flask. Often the solution in the burette is an acid acid of a precise known concentration
  5. The solution from the burette is run into the conical flask. The solution is added one drop at a time, with swirling to mix the solutions as the end-point is approached. Eventually, a colour change shows that the correct amount has been added to react completely with the synthesised chemical in the sample.
  6. The volume of solution added from the burette is noted. The titration results can then be used to calculate the amount of the synthesised chemical in the sample, and therefore find its purity.
54
Q

What equipment do you use for titration

A

Burette, Conical flask, Pipette filler and Pipette
