Q

How are halide ions detected

A

Halide ions in solutions are detected using silver nitrate solutions. The test solution is acidified using a few drops of dilute nitric acid, and then a few drops of silver nitrate solution are added. Different coloured silver halide precipitates form, depending on the halide ions present.

For example : chloride ions give a white precipitate of silver chloride,
bromide ions give a cream precipitate of silver bromide,
iodide ions give a yellow precipitate of silver iodide

Q

Why is nitric acid added when testing halide ions

A

The nitric acid is added first to remove any carbonate ions that might be present – they would produce a white precipitate of silver carbonate, giving a false positive result for chloride ions

Q

What makes a molecule polar

A

An unequal share of electrons in a chemical bond. One atom being more electronegative. This causes an imbalance or charge.

Q

19
Q

Why are some molecules polar and others non-polar

A

In polar molecules, there is an electronegative atom which causes an unequal share of electrons in the chemical bond. This causes an imbalance of charge within the molecule. Non polar molecules do not have electronegative atoms so have an equal share of electrons

Q

Why do polar solvents dissolve polar solutes

A

The slightly positive atoms are attracted to the negative ions. The slightly negative atoms are attracted to the positive ions.

21
Q

Why do polar and non-polar molecules not mix

A

No attractions between the atoms in each molecule

22
Q

What are the two phases involved in chromatography

A

Stationary ( the paper) and Mobile ( liquid or gas )

23
Q

What does separations depend on in chromatography

A

Depends on the distribution of substances between phases

24
Q

How does paper chromatography work ? ( 3 points )

A
  • A solvent moves through paper ( teh mobile phase flows through teh stationary phase and Carrie’s the substance under test with it )
  • Carries different compounds different distances
  • Distances travelled depends on their attraction (solubility) for the paper and the solvent
25
Q

How to calculate the Rf value

A

Distance moved by a substance/component divided by the distance moved by solvent

Different compounds have different Rf values in different solvents

26
Q

What is chromatography

A

Process used to separate mixtures of gases and liquids

27
Q

Mole ( definition )

A

A mole of any substance always contains the same number of particles - 6.022*10^23 particles of atoms, molecules, ions or electrons.

28
Q

Value of mole is equal to ?

A

Number of atoms in exactly 12 grams of pure carbon-12

29
Q

Ideal gas law

A

Equal volume of all gases, when measured at the same temperature and pressure contain an equal number of particles

30
Q

Molar volume (definition)

A

The volume occupied by one mole of a gas at a given temprature and pressure

31
Q

Isotope

A

Different number of neutrons ( mass number )

Same atomic number but different mass number

32
Q

Realative atomic mass

A

Relative atomic mass takes into consideration all the isotopes of the element and their %abundance

33
Q

What is a mass spectrometer used for ?

A

Measures the mass of charged particles ( ions) and shows the frequency of ions for each isotope

34
Q

How does a mass spectrometer work ? ( 3 points )

A

• A sample of atoms is ionised and passed along a magnet as a vapour
• The magnet interacts with the ions and deflects them according to mass/charge ratio.
• Vaporization, Ionization, Accelleration, Deflection and Detection

35
Q

Molar mass and Rf value

A

As the molar mass increases so the does Rf value. This means that compounds/colors with more molar mass are more soluble and will travel longer distances

36
Q

Dissasociation and ions

A

When an ionic compound is dissolved in a polar solvent like water the ions in teh solid separate and disassociate into ions uniformly throughout teh solution.

37
Q

Ion dipole attraction

A

The electrostatic attraction between an ion and a molecule with a dipole is called an ion dipole attraction

38
Q

Concentration

A

Number of atoms in a given volume of a substance

39
Q

What is mass spectrometry

A

Mass spectrometry accurately measures the mass of different molecules within a sample

40
Q

How are ionic compounds formed

A

Generally Formed from the electrostatic attraction between a cation ( typically a metal ) and an anion ( typically a non-metal)

41
Q

Solubility rules ( 5 )

A
  • All nitrates are soluble
  • Most sulphates expect lead and barium sulphate are soluble
  • Most chlorides, bromides and iodides ( except silver and lead chlorides, bromides and iodides )
  • sodium carbonate and potassium carbonates are soluble ( most other carbonates are insoluble )
  • Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are soluble most otehr hydroxides aren’t
42
Q

What is covalent bonding

A

In covalent bonding atoms share electrons

43
Q

Why is a water molecule polar

A

Ina water molecule, oxygen shares electrons with each of teh hydrogen atoms. The oxygen has a much greater attraction for these shared electrons than teh hydrogen atoms, resulting in an uneven distribution of the bonding electrons in Teh covalent bond.

44
Q

When is gel permeation chromatography used

A

To analyse very lareg molecules or polymers

45
Q

Law of definite propotions

A

A chemical compound always contains a fixed ratio of elemnst by mass

46
Q

A more attracted color/solute will travel less or more distance ?

A

Less

47
Q

Molar mass - solubility and retention factor

A

More molar mass = more soluble = higher Rf value = further distance travelled

48
Q

Why can metals conduct electricity

A

Metals have a sea of delocalized electrons. Metals conduct electricity by allowing free electrons to move between the atoms. Electrons can carry charge

49
Q

Solute and soLvent ( chromatography specific )

A

Teh mobile phase passes through teh stationary phase.

Solute is teh mixture being soersted
Solvent is teh mobile phase

50
Q

In chromatography distance traveled depends on ?

A

Distance travelled depends on tehir attraction ( solubility )to the paper and solvent

51
Q

Molar mass is teh

A

Mass of 1 mol of any elemnt/compund

52
Q

Iodine - 131

A

Used to treat thyroid cancer.
