What happens to mass during a chemical reaction, what may change this?

The mass is conserved, this will not change. However mass measure may be:


Greater if gas gained from air


Less if water vapour of gas has been allowed to escape.

How is the gas made or lost calculated?

Calcite mass change.

How do you convert between cm3 and dm3?

Cm- dm = /1000


Dm- cm = *1000

How does a concentrated solution compare to a dilute one? How is concentration measured?

Solute particles are more crowded together, g/dm3 or mol/dm3

How is a concentrated solution made more dilute?

Adding water.

Why must some concentrated solutions be diluted?

Orange cordial is too strong tasting if not


Must carefully follow dilution instructions on medicines- if too dilute doesn't work, if too strong makes you more ill


If baby milk is not properly diluted may harm baby

What does the GDA do? Why may sodium to sodium salt conversions be inaccurate?

Informs you how much of a nutrient a person needs for a healthy diet each day. Sodium ions come from a number of sources.

Give the word equation for a neutralisation reaction.

Acid + alkali = salt + water

Give the word equation for a neutralisation reaction.

Acid + alkali = salt + water

What is titration used to find out?

How much acid is needed to neutralise an alkali.

Describe the 8 step process of titration.

-Measure the alkali in a conical flask by using a pipette and filler (stops acid contacting skin)


-Add indicator to flask


-Fill Burette with acid


-Record start volume of acid


-Add acid slowly until indicator changes colour


-Record end volume of acid


-Work out the titre


-To improve accuracy repeat to find consistent results and find a mean

What is a titre and what does it depend on?

The volume of acid that was added to neutralise the alkali. Depends on the concentration of reactants.

Why is using a single indicator often better than using a mixed indicator?


Give an example of each.

Shows change very clearly as there are not a range of colours on a spectrum only two.

UI Ac red Ak blue

How can the position of equilibrium be altered?

By changing:


Temperature


Pressure


The concentration of reactants and products

What does it mean if the position of the equilibrium lies to the right of the reaction equation?

The concentration of the products is greater than the concentration of the reactants.

What does it mean if the position of the equilibrium lies to the left of the reaction equation?

The concentration of products is less than the concentration of the reactants.

How do pressure and temperature affect equilibrium?

Pressure increases product


Very high temperature decreases product

What is made during the contact process?

Sulfur, air and water are made into sulfuric acid.

Give the steps involved in the contact process.

-sulfur is burned in a furnace to make sulfur dioxide


-sulfur combines with oxygen in the air in a reversible reaction to make sulfur trioxide (takes place using a vanadium oxide catalyst at 450C and atmospheric pressure)


-Sulfur dioxide is then dissolved in water in an absorber to make sulfuric acid

Give the word and symbol equations involved in each step of the contact process.

1) Sulfur + oxygen = Sulfur dioxide


S + O2 = SO2


2) Sulfur dioxide + oxygen -- Sulfur trioxide


2SO2 + O2 -- 2SO3


2) Sulfur trioxide + water = sulfuric acid


SO3 + H2O = H2SO4

What are some uses of Sulfuric acid?

The manufacturing of:


-paints and pigments


-soaps and detergents


-fibres


-plastics


-fertilisers

What apparatus are needed to collect and measure the volume of a gas made in a reaction?

Upturned measuring cylinder


Gas syringe


Upturned burette

Give the method used to measure the volume of gas produced in a reaction.

-measure out reactants


-add reactants together in a conical flask and start the stopwatch


-record the volume of gas produced at regular intervals until the volume stops increasing

Why does a reaction stop? What about in a 1-1 reactant ratio?

Because the limiting reactant (reactant there is less of) gets used up. It's still the limiting reactant but the LR is the reactant with the fewest moles.

Use particle theory to explain why the more reactant used the more product produced.

More reactant particles means a greater number of collisions increasing the number of products particles. The number of limiting reactant particles is directly proportional to the amount of gas product particles produced.

Give the experiment used the calculate the mass of gas produced in a reaction.

-Measure mass of empty conical flask


-measure out reactants


-record total mass of reactants and flask


-add reactants together in the flask and start the stopwatch


-record the mass of the flask and reactants at regular intervals until the mass stops changing

Give the rules to remember when sketching a graph to show volume of gas made in a reaction.

-curve should be steepest at the beginning where the reaction is fastest


-curve should get shallower as the reaction progresses


-curve should become horizontal to show end of the reaction (should be level with the final volume of gas produced)

Give an important rule that can be used to calculate the calculate the volume or amount of a gas?

One mile of any gas occupies a volume of 24dm3 at room temperature and pressure.

Give an example of a reversible reaction.

Nitrogen + hydrogen -- ammonia


N2 + 3H2 -- 2NH3

What is equilibrium in a reversible reaction?

It reaches a balance where the rate of the forward reaction is equal to the rate of the backwards reaction. At equilibrium the amount and concentration of reactants and products stay the same even though reactions are taking place.

What condition must be met for a reversible reaction to reach equilibrium? What is this called?

The conditions such as temperature and pressure cannot be change and no substance is added or removed. This is known as a closed system.

What determines the concentration of an acid?

How many moles of the acid are dissolved in 1dm3.

What determines the strength on an acid?

How much it ionises, a strong acid produces more H+ ions than a weak acid of the same concentration because the weak acid does not ionise completely.

What is the relegation ship between number of H+ ions and pH.

The more H+ ions the lower the pH.

Summarise why hydrochloric acid reacts quicker than ethanoic acid? (This can be generally applied)

-hydrochloric acid is stronger than ethanoic acid


-hydrochloric acid has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions than ethanoic acid


-the greater concentration of hydrogen ions leads to a higher frequency of collisions between the hydrogen ions and the reactants.

What is the relationship between acid strength and conductivity?

A stronger acid has a greater concentration of hydrogen ions to carry electric charge so is a better conductor.

What happens during the electrolysis of hydrochloric or ethanoic acid?

Hydrogen gas is made at the negative electrode. This is because when electricity is passed through the acid, the hydrogen ions are attracted to the negative electrode where they become hydrogen molecules.

When does a precipitation reaction occur?

When a precipitate is made by mixing two ionic solutions together. The precipitate is made when ions from one solution collide with ions from another to make an insoluble compound,

Give the method for making an insoluble compound.

1) Mix the reactant solutions


2) Filter off precipitate


3) Wash the residue in the filter funnel with distilled water


4) Dry the residue in an oven at 50C

What are halides?

The ions made by the halogens.

What substance can be used to detect halide ions and what precipitates are formed?

Lead (II) nitrate.


Chlorides (Cl-) form a white precipitate


Bromides (Br-) form a cream precipitate


Iodides (I-) form a yellow precipitate

What happens during an equilibrium reaction?

The forward reaction will slow down and the backwards reaction will speed up until both reactions are at the same rate.

What substance can be used to detect sulfate ions and what precipitate is formed?


Give the word equation.

Barium chloride


White precipitate


Sodium sulfate (aq) + barium chloride (aq) = barium sulfate (s) + sodium chloride (aq)

Give a characteristic of precipitate reactions.

Very fast- precipitate forms almost instantly.

What is a spectator ion?

An ion dissolved in water that doesn't do anything.

How can the equilibrium be moved to the right of the reaction equation?

Adding more reactant


OR


Removing product as it is made

How can the equilibrium be moved to the left of the reaction equation?

Reducing the amount of reactant


OR


Increasing the amount of product

What is the effect of an increase in pressure in a gas reaction?

The increase pressure moves the equilibrium in the direction with the fewest moles of gas.

Describe the compromised conditions used in the contact process.

Vanadium catalyst used to speed up production of Sulfur trioxide but doesn't change position of equilibrium


Increasing temperature increases rate of reaction but reduces yield and pushes equilibrium position to the left (a compromised temp of 450C is used)


Increasing pressure increase yield and pushes the equilibrium to the right however is very expensive to maintain high pressure and not worth it for small increase so a medium high pressure is used

What happens to acids and acids of differing strengths in water?

Acids ionise in water to make hydrogen ions.


Strong acids ionise completely


Weak acids partially ionises, this is a reversible reaction so makes an equilibrium mixture

What substances do ethanoic and hydrochloride acid react with and what is produced?

Magnesium to produce hydrogen gas.


Calcium carbonate to produce carbon dioxide.

Give a characteristic of precipitate reactions.

Very fast- precipitate forms almost instantly. This is because there is a high chance of collisions.

What is the volume of a gas made determined by? What affects the speed of the reactions?

The amount of reactants used, not the acid's strength. The strength of the reactant i.e. the amount of hydrogen ions in a set concentration. For example there are fewer hydrogen ions in ethanoic than in the same concentration of hydrochloric so it reacts slower as there are fewer collisions.
