revision Flashcards
Test for alkenes (double carbon bond)
alkene + orange bromine water turns colourless when shaken
addition reaction because double carbon bonds are split and bromine is added to each (dibromoethane)
Test for alkanes
alkane + halogen + UV light make haloalkane (bromomethane)
rust
iron + oxygen + water = hydrated iron (III) oxide
soft and crumbly so flakes off to allow more to rust
barrier methods (rust)
SACRIFICIAL placing a more reactive iron to react instead of iron ( eg. forming zinc oxide)
GALVANISING sprayed coating of zinc
PAINTING / PLASTIC
OILING - moving parts (bike chains)
extracting iron raw materials
haematite - iron ore (Fe2O3)
coke - almost pure carbon
limestone - used to remove impurities
Found in Australia and canada
extracting iron method (blast furnace)
C + O2 = CO2 coke burns in oxygen to produce carbon dioxide (at 1500 C)
CO2 + C = 2CO
3CO + FeO3 = 3CO2 + 2FE carbon monoxide reduces iron ore to iron (molten and dense) where it is tapped off.
extracting iron removing impurities
main impurity is sand (SiO2) - removed using limestone
CaCO3 = CaO + CO2
CaO + SiO2 = CaSi3 calcium oxide reacts with silicon oxide to form calcium silicate (slag)
Can be used for road building and fertiliser
Iron (II) test
add sodium hydroxide and turns sludgy green
Iron (III) test
add sodium hydroxide and turns reddish brown
Sulfates test
Dilute HCl and barium chloride makes white precipitate
(HCl makes sure there are not any traces of carbonate or sulphite ions, which form precipitates and would confuse results)
ammonia gas (NH3) test
turns damp red litmus paper blue strong smell (can be harmful to eyes)
ammonium ions (NH4) test
sodium hydroxide and ammonia gas given off (check litmus paper)
copper (II) test
sodium hydroxide forms blue precipitate
methyl orange
acid - red
alkaline - yellow
simple molecular substances (covalent)
- atoms within molecule are held together using very strong covalent bonds, however between molecules (intermolecular) are very weak
- makes melting and boiling points very weak
- often gases or liquid at room temperature
