Q

What is the equation that links number of moles and concentration

A

Number of moles = Concentration x Volume (cm^3) / 1000

OR

Number of moles = Concentration x Volume (dm^3)

Q

Find the mass of Iron (III) oxide produced when 28g of Iron is burnt in air

A

2Fe(s) + 1.5O2 -> Fe203(s)
Work out how many moles of iron - 28/55.8 = 0.502 moles of iron
Molar ratio of Fe : Fe2O3 is 2:1 so 0.502/2 = 0.251
Mr of Fe2O3 = 159.6
159.6 x 0.251 = 40 g

Q

How do you make a standard solution

A

Dissolve a known amount of solid in a known amount of water to create a known concentration

17
Q

What is another word for standard solution

A

Volumetric solutions

18
Q

How would you make a standard solution for sodium hydroxide

A

Work out the moles using concentration x volume
Work out mass using mass/Mr
Place weighing bottle on digital balance - weight required mass of solid and tip into beaker
Weigh weighing bottle and subtract the mass of bottle from mass of solid
Add distilled water to beaker and stir until sodium hydroxide has dissolved
Tip solution into volumetric flask and use a funnel to make sure all of it go on
Rinse beaker, stirring rod and funnel with distilled water
Top flask up to correct volume with distilled water (make sure bottom of meniscus reaches the line)
Mix contents of flask
Then calculate the concentration of the solution

19
Q

How do you perform titrations

A

Use pipette to measure set volume of the solution that you want to know the concentration of
Put in a flask
Add a few drops of an appropriate indicator to the flask
Fill beaker with standard solution of the acid
Use funnel and pour acid into burette (do below eye level to avoid splashing)
Do rough titration to find out the end point
Then do accurate titration - take initial reading, then run the acid in to within 2cm^3 of the end point
Find amount of acid needed to neutralise the alkali = initial reading - final reading (this is called a titre)
Repeat a few times until you have three results within 0.1cm^3 of each other (concordant)
Use results from each to find the mean volume of acid used
Leave out any anomalous results

20
Q

What type of indicators are used in titrations

A

Ones that change colour quickly over a very small pH range so you know exactly when the reaction has ended

21
Q

What are the two indicators used in titrations

A

Methyl orange
Phenolphthalein

22
Q

What are the colours of methyl orange in alkalis and acids

A

Alkali - Yellow
Acid - Red

23
Q

What are the phenolphthalein in alkalis and acids

A

Alkali - Pink
Acids - Colourless

24
Q

What is the equation for volume

A

moles x 24 dm^3

25
Give the difference of the empirical and the molecular formula
Empirical gives ratio of atoms in compound and molecular gives the exact amount of atoms in the compound
26
A molecule has an empirical formula of C4H3O2, and a relative molecular mass of 166. Work out its molecular formula
(4x12) + (3x1) + (2x16) = 83 166/83 = 2 2 x C4H3H02 = C8H6O4 C8H6O4 is the molecular formula
27
Compound is found to have percentage composition 56.5% potassium, 8.7% carbon and 34.8% oxygen by mass. Calculate its empirical formula
Assume its 100g of the compound 56.5 g = Potassium 8.7g = Carbon 34.8g = Oxygen 56.5/39.1 = 1.45 moles 8.7/12 = 0.725 moles 34.8/16 = 2.18 moles 1.45/0.725 = 2 0.725/0.725 = 1 2.18/0.725 = 4 K2CO3
28
What is the theoretical yield
The mass of a product that should be formed in a chemical reaction
29
What is the formula for percentage yield
(Actual Yield / Theoretical Yield) x 100
30
What is atom economy
The proportion of reactant atoms that become a part of the desired product in the balanced chemical equation
31
What are the economic advantages to a high atom economy
More efficient use of a company's raw materials Low atom economies will require more of raw materials to produce the same amount and this will cost money There will be less waste to deal with
32
What are the environmental and ethical advantages to a high atom economy
Many raw materials are in limited supply so they should be used as efficiently as possible Producing less waste is better for the environment More sustainable If the process is more efficient it will be cheaper which can also lead to low prices for medicines so it is more accessible
33
What is the formula for percentage atom economy
% Atom Economy = (Molecular Mass of Desired Product / Sum of Molecular Masses of all Reactants) x 100
