Q

Chemical Changes - definitions, laws, how reactions are produced etc (6pts)

A
  • A physical change is reversible and does not form new substances. This change is temporary.
  • A chemical change is a change in which a new substance is formed.
  • A chemical change is usually irreversible and forms new substances. This change is permanent.
  • E.g. iron rusting, baked cake
  • When a new substance is made from a chemical change, the process is called a chemical reaction.
  • In a chemical reaction, substances (called reactants) react with each other to form new substances (called products). Usually energy such as thermal, light and/or electricity is taken in or given out during a chemical reaction.
  • The starting substances are the reactants and the new substance formed is called the product.
  • Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of energy.
  • In a chemical change, energy is neither created nor destroyed, they are either transformed or transferred from one form to another.
  • Chemical reactions obey the law of conservation of mass.
  • In a chemical change, matter is neither created or destroyed in a reaction; they are only rearranged. Mass is conserved. (unchanged)

Q

Acidity and Alkalinity of a Solution - 3 pts

A
  • Solutions with pH values that are less than 7 are acidic.
  • The lower the pH value, the more acidic the solution.
  • For example, the pH of milk is approximately 6.5, while the pH of vinegar (ethanoic acid) is 2.
  • Solutions with pH values that are greater than 7 are alkaline.
  • The greater the pH value, the more alkaline the solution.
  • For example, the pH of baking soda is approximately 9.5, while the pH of oven cleaner is 13.5
  • Substances which are very acidic or alkaline are usually corrosive and can burn our skin.
  • If a solution is neither acidic nor alkaline, we say that it has a neutral pH or a pH of 7 (Green universal indicator).
  • The pH of pure water is 7.

Q

Atomic Structure and Chemical Reaction (read lol)

A
  • The number of valence electrons elements possess determines the type of chemical reactions the elements undergo, the type of bonding they formed and their reactivity.
  • Why only valence electrons involved in chemical reactions - Valence electrons are further away from the nucleus as compared to electrons from inner electron shells. Therefore, valence electrons experience lesser force of attraction from the protons in the nucleus.
  • In the modern Periodic Table, elements are arranged according to their proton number / atomic number.
  • Atoms of elements in the same group in the Periodic Table have the same number of valence electrons (except for helium).
  • Elements in the same group have similar chemical properties and will undergo the same type of chemical reactions.
  • Atoms of elements in the same period in the Periodic Table have the same number of electron shells.
  • Across the period, the properties of elements change from metallic to non-metallic.
  • Group = vertical row, Period = horizontal row
  • The number of electrons = number of protons (which means that atomic/proton number = no. of electrons)
  • Positively charged = net change >0
  • Electrically neutral = net charge = 0
  • Negatively charged = net charge <0
  • Each electron shell can hold a certain maximum number of electrons.
  • 1st electron shell - 2 electrons
  • 2nd electron shell - 8 electrons
  • 3rd electron shell - 8 electrons (1st 20 elements only)
  • Atoms with a complete (fully occupied) valence shell are stable. They will not undergo chemical reaction under normal conditions.
  • E.g. noble gases. (18th group)
  • Note: Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Oxygen and group 17 elements exist as diatomic molecules! (i.e. they have 2 molecules)

Q

Ionic Compounds & Ionic Bonding

A
  • The noble gases are elements in Group 18 of the periodic table.
  • Elements in Group 18 are monatomic because they have full valence shells and are said to have a noble gas electronic configuration.
  • Each noble gas has eight valence electrons (octet electronic configuration) except helium, which has two (duplet electronic configuration).
  • Since noble gases are stable, other atoms will bond together to achieve a noble gas electronic configuration.
  • During the collision, the valence electrons of the colliding atoms interact with atoms of a different element to found compounds.
  • Ionic bond is the electrostatic force of attraction between oppositely charged ions.
  • It is formed when the metal atom transfer valence electron/s to the non-metal atom.
  • Metallic atoms usually have 1 to 3 valence electrons while non-metallic atoms usually have 4 to 8 valence electrons.
  • An ion is a charged particle that is formed when an atom gains or loses electrons.
  • Metal ions are called cations - Metal atoms tend to lose electrons and form positive ions.
  • Non-metal ions are called anions - Most non-metal atoms will gain electrons and form negative ions.
  • When number of protons = number of electrons → neutral (atomic number = number of protons and electrons)
  • When number of protons > number of electrons → positively charged → positive ion → cation (usually metals)
  • When number of electrons > number of protons → negatively charged → negative ion → anion (usually non-metals)
  • “(name) atom gain/lose electrons to form …”
  • Ionic bonding only happens between a metal and non-metal atom!
  • The metal electron should not have any valence electrons left so if you cant fit all the valence electrons in the non-metal ion, then add more metal/non-metal atom until both have full valence electron shell! (same for non-metal electron)
  • The substance usually changes name after ionic bonding (usually only the non-metal changes name).
  • To name the ions of Group 17 elements, we change the ending of the ion’s name from -ine to -ide.
  • e.g. Fluorine → Fluoride, Chlorine → Chloride, Oxygen → Oxide, Nitrogen → Nitride, Hydrogen → Hydride, Sulfur → Sulfide

Q

Collection and Drying of Gases
Collection of Gas (3-4 pt optional?)

A
  • The methods used for gas collection are dependent on the physical properties of the gas, such as its solubility and density.
  • The downward and upward delivery method uses the displacement of air to collect the gas.
  • For example, gases that are denser than air will displace the air at the bottom of the gas jar.
  • To determine the density of a gas relative to the density of air, you can compare the relative molecular mass (Mr) of the gas to that of air (Mr ≈ 30).
  • If the gas has a relative molecular mass greater than 30, the gas will displace the air at the bottom of the gas jar using the downward delivery method.

Q

Drying Of Gas

Drying Agent
Examples
Notes

A

concentrated sulfuric acid
most gases
The gas must not react with sulfuric acid (e.g. ammonia)

quicklime (calcium oxide)
ammonia
The gas must not react with calcium oxide (e.g. carbon dioxide).

Calcium oxide must be freshly heated before use as it absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.

fused calcium chloride
hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide
The gas must not react with calcium chloride (e.g. ammonia).

Calcium chloride must be freshly heated before use as it readily absorbs moisture and carbon dioxide from the air.

Q

Measuring the Rate of a Chemical Reaction (4pt)

A

Measuring the Rate of a Chemical Reaction

  • The rate of a chemical reaction can be determined by measuring any property that changes over the course of the reaction.
  • Common methods include measuring mass or volume changes when a gas is evolved.
  • A graph of the property against time is then plotted.
  • The rate of a chemical reaction usually decreases with time as the reactants are progressively used up.
  • The rate of reaction of hydrochloric acid with calcium carbonate can be determined using the gas syringe method.
  • We can collect the gas using a graduated gas syringe and measure the volume of gas produced over time.
