Q

Describe the stages of Paper Chromatography

A

1) draw a line in pencil near the bottom on the filter paper
2) add a spot of the ink being investigated on the line and place the sheet in a solvent, make sure the solvent isn’t touching the ink
3) place the lid on the container to stop the solvent evaporating
4) each dye with move up the paper at different rates so they will form different spots

Q

What does evaporation separate and how is it completed?

A

Soluble solids from solutions:

1) pour the solution into an evaporating dish

Q

What does crystallisation separate and how is it completed?

A

Soluble solids from solutions:

1) pour the solution into an evaporating dish
2) once some crystals form, remove the dish
3) the salt should form crystals as it becomes insoluble
4) filter out the crystals and leave them in a warm place to dry

Q

What is the equation for atom economy and what does it tell us?

A

(relative formula mass of desired product ÷ relative formula mass of all reactants) x 100
It tells us what percentage of the reactants will be made into useful products

Q

What does an acid + a base give?

A

A salt and water

23
Q

How do you complete a titration?

A

If you wanted to find the concentration of an alkali:

1) using a pipette, add a set volume (25cm3) of an akali to a conical flask add 2 - 3 drops of phenolphthalein
2) fill a burette with acid of known concentration and record the initial volume
3) add the acid to the alkali slowly.
4) the indicator changes colour (pink to clear) when all the alkali has been neutralised
5) record the final volume of the acid to work out the volume of the acid required to neutralise the alkali
6) use concentration calculations to work out the concentration of the alkali

24
Q

What happens to strong acids in water?

A

All acid particles dissociate to release H+ ions

25
Q

A

Salt + water

26
Q

Acid + metal hydroxide =

A

Salt + water

27
Q

31
Q

What is the rule for what is formed at the cathode?

A

If hydrogen is less reactive than the metal, it is formed

Q

What is the rule for what is formed at the anode?

A

Oxygen with be formed if no halides are present

33
Q

When is a reaction exothermic?

A

When the energy released by forming bonds is greater than the energy used to break them

34
Q

How does a rechargeable cell work?

A

The reaction can be reversed by connecting it to an external electric current

35
Q

Why aren’t alkaline batteries rechargeable?

A

The reactions are irreversible

Q

How can we measure pH?

A
  • Universal indicator

- pH probe

42
Q

What do pH units represent?

A

For every one the pH goes down, the number of H+ ions increases by a factor of ten

43
Q

When must a metal be extracted by electrolysis?

A

If it is more reactive than carbon
