Q

Electroplating and rusting (4)

A
  • A thin layer of one metal covers another to increase corrosion resistance. The cathode is the object to be plated. The anode is plating metal. The electrolyte contains ions of the plating metal.

Q

Sacrificial protection (3)

A
  • Process where a metal is connected to a more reactive metal in order to increase corrosion resistance. As the metal to be protected is oxidised, the more reactive metal donates electrons to it. The metal to be protected does not corrode, as it is oxidised and reduced at the same rate

Q

Why does alloying make a metal stronger?

A

Mixing metal atoms of different sizes distorts the regular lattice structure, making it harder for layers to move past each other, making the metal stronger

Q

Fuel cells vs chemical cells

A

Chemical cells ‘go flat’ when one reactant is used up. Fuel cells produce a voltage continuously as long as they have a fuel and oxygen.

24
Q

Simple chemical cell

A
  • two different metals, each dipped into a solution of one of their salts. A salt bridge made from a saturated solution, usually potassium nitrate to allow ions to pass between
25
Q

Further apart the metals are in reactivity series…

A

The greater the voltage generated

26
Q

Hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell equation

A

2H2(g) + O2(g) -> 2H2O(l)

27
Q

Hydrogen oxygen cell reduction equation

A

O2 + 2H2O + 4e -> 4OH-

28
Q

Hydrogen oxygen fuel cell oxidation equation

A

2H2 + 4OH- -> 4H2O + 4e

29
Q

Fuel cell advantages (4)

A
  • quiet, low maintenance (no moving parts), fairly compact, waste water produced can be used for drinking/other purposes
30
Q

Fuel cells disadvantages (4)

A
  • not as popular (so less infrastructure), hydrogen supply needed, more expensive, manufacture of hydrogen produces CO2
31
Q

Percentage yield

A

actual yield/theoretical yield x 100

32
Q

Compromise temperature

A

One that produces a good yield at a reasonable rate (lowering temperature drastically slows reaction)

33
Q

Compromise pressure

A

One that produces a good yield at reasonable cost (maintaining high pressures is expensive and dangerous)

34
Q

Reason for catalysts in industrial reactions

A

Increase the rate, so make up for compromise temperatures. Help achieve acceptable yields in an acceptable time.

35
Q

Three common fertilisers (3)

A

Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium

36
Q

Equation to make ammonium nitrate

A

NH3 + HNO3 -> NH4NO3

37
Q

Equation to make nitric acid

A

NH3 + O2 -> HNO3 + H2O

38
Q

Equation to make ammonium suofate

A

2NH3 + H2SO4 -> (NH4)2SO4

39
Q

Lab prep scale, ingredients, stages, type of process

A

Small, dilute solutions, few, batch

40
Q

Industry prep scale, ingredients, stages, type of process

A

Large, raw materials, lots, continuous

41
Q

Atom economy equation

A

Mr of desired product/Mr of all products x100

42
Q

Atom economy manufacture of ethanol

A

Much better for reaction of ethene with steam because only one product formed, worse for fermentation because CO2 is a byproduct

43
Q

What does it mean if a reaction has a high percentage yield but a low atom economy?

A

Lots of waste by products formed

44
Q

Is it better to reduce waste produced or treat it later

A

Reduce waste

45
Q

How to improve atom economy

A

Find uses for by products

47
Q

Raw materials, temp, pressure, catalyst, speed and purity for fermentation

A

48
Q

50
Q

Concentration in moldm-3

A

Moles / volume (dm3)

51
Q

How to convert concentration in gdm-3 to moldm-3

A

Divide by RFM of solute (because mol = mass/mr)

52
