Q

What is the difference between strong and weak acids?

A

Depends on how IONISED it is in water. A strong acid 100% ionised and has a pH of 1, a weak acid is only partly ionised and has a pH of 3-5

SAME FOR ALKALIS (strength depends on how ionised it is)

A

0, as are all elements

20
Q

What would the oxidation state of Fe3+ be?

A

+3

21
Q

What would the oxidation state of H be in a compound?

A

+1
Only exceptions are - 0 as H or H2
- -1 as a hydride ion, H- and in sodium hydride
NAH

22
Q

What would the oxidation state of O be in a compound?

A

-2
Only exceptions are - 0 as O or O2
- -1 in Hydrogen Peroxide, H2O2
- +2 in F2O

23
Q

What would the oxidation state of F be in a compound?

A

-1

The exception is - as F or F2

24
Q

What must all the oxidation numbers in the compound total?

A

The overall charge of the compound

25
Q

Define Redox

A

When reduction and oxidation take place

26
Q

If the oxidation state increases, has the element been oxidised or reduced?

A

Oxidised

27
Q

If the number of electrons has decreased, has the compound being oxidised or reduced?

A

oxidised, so it will become more positive

OILRIG

28
Q

What do we use to balance redox reactions?

A

electrons, H and H2O

29
Q

How do you combine half equations?

A

1) Write the out
2) Multiply the equations so that the number of electrons in each is the same
3) Add the 2 equations and cancel out the electrons on either side
4) If necessary, cancel any other species which appear on both sides

30
Q

Define Relative Atomic Mass

A

The weighted mean mass of an atom of an element compared with 1/12 the mass of carbon -12

31
Q

Define a mole

A

The amount of any substance that contains the same number of particles as there are carbon atoms in 12g of carbon -12

32
Q

What is the formula for the number of particles present in an atom?

A

n x (6.02 x 10^23)

33
Q

What is the difference between an atom and a molecule

A

A molecule is made up of atoms

34
Q

What do we do with percentages when working out empirical formulas?

A

Treat them as just grams

35
Q

What is 24dm^3 often referred to as?

A

The molar gas volume

36
Q

What do chemists call strong solutions?

A

Concentrated

37
Q

What do chemists call weak solutions?

A

Dilute

38
Q

Define concentration

A

The number of moles dissolved per dm^3 of solution

39
Q

Why are standard solutions used for titration?

A

We know the concentration and can use this to work out the moles, hence been able to work out the concentration of the alkali

40
Q

What unit must all values be when dividing by the Mr?

A

Grams

41
Q

How many grams is 1 tonne

A

1000000 or 1x10^6
