63
When do you use -ate -ite or -ide?
-ate if it contains 3 oxygens -ite if it contains 1 LESS OXYGEN eg nitrate= NO3 - nitrite= NO2 - -ide if it only contains 2 elements and NO OXYGENS. ide is attached to negative ion
64
What are the exceptions to -ates having 3 oxygens?
sulfate and phosphate both have 4 oxygens so, sulfite and phosphite will both have 3 oxygens
65
What does the roman numeral next to an element indicate? example of Fe(II)
The positive charge/ the number of electrons in the outer shell Fe(II) has a 2+ charge as it has 2 electrons in its outer shell
66
How to calculate % by mass?
(mass of chemical you want ÷ total mass of compound) x 100
67
Why is percentage atom economy useful?
-Shows how efficiently raw materials are turned into target product -High % atom economy= less waste and fewer by products- by products can be sold but some are too invaluable to be sold -Minimises environmental impact and saves raw materials
68
Describe the overall method of a titration.
Known volume of a solution of typically unknown concentration is added to a conical flask using a pipette- usually 25cm3 Clamp burette above conical flask with the other chemical(eg the acid) - this is the standard solution Indicator is added to conical flask which changes colour once correct volume of acid has been added to burette- place white tile under flask. Note starting volume of burette, add the solution to the conical flask swirling the flask, stop titration when indicator changes colour. Record final burette volume which would have gone down. Work out difference between starting burette volume and end burette volume.
69
What are the 2 indicators for titrations and their colours in acid and alkali?
1- methyl orange: red in acid, yellow in alkali, end point is orange 2- phenolphthalein: colourless in acid, pink in alkali, end point is just pink when adding alkali or just colourless when adding acid.
