1
Q

What is hard water?

A

water that contains dissolved mg2+ or ca2+ ions. The ions enter the water when slightly acidic rain (formed by dissolved co2)flows over rocks containing magnesium/calcium carbonate or magnesium/calcium sulphate.

Q

How can the hardness be removed by heating the temporary hard water?

A

Ca2+ + HCO3- = CaCO3 + H2O + CO2

Q

How can the hardness be removed by heating the permanent hard water?

A

By adding Na2CO3. Na+ ions replace Ca2+ ions in the solution forming insoluble precipitate calcium carbonate

Q

What are transition metals like compared to group 1 and 2 metals?

A
unreactive
high melting points (apart from mercury)
strong and hard
high density 
makes coloured compounds 
are as useful as catalysts

Q

In the chemical test when testing for aluminium, calcium and magnesium, what is the positive result?

A

if a white precipitate is formed, it means that it could be Al, Cl, or Mg but if when more is added it dissolves, its Al

add sodium hydroxide

17
Q

In the chemical test when testing for iron (ii) iron (iii) and copper (ii), what is the positive result?

18
Q

In the chemical test when testing for lithium, sodium, barium, potassium and calcium what chemicals or conditions are required?

19
Q

A
lithium = crimson
sodium = yellow
barium = green
potassium = lilac 
calcium = red
20
Q

In the chemical test when testing for sulphate,what chemicals or conditions are required?

A

Add dilute hydrochloric acid and barium chloride

21
Q

In the chemical test when testing for sulphate, what is the positive result?

A

White precipitate

22
Q

What are the rules of equilibria: (le chatlier’s principal)

A
  1. high temperature favours endothermic reaction
  2. low temperatures favours the exothermic reaction
  3. increasing reactants favours forwards reaction
  4. decreasing products favours forward reaction
  5. high pressure favours side with fewest moles
  6. low pressure favours side with most moles
23
Q

How do you work out the overall enthalpy/energy change for the reaction?

A

Sum (bonds broken) - sum(bonds made) = energy change

24
Q

What are the ideal conditions for the haber reaction?

A

Low temperature
High pressure
Constant supply of Ne and H2
Remove the products

25
Q

So why are the conditions of the equilibria reaction 450 degrees and 200 atms?

A

450 is a compromise between the yield of the reaction and the rate of reaction
200 atms is used as extremely high pressures could explode

26
Q

What is dynamic equilibrium?

A

Most reactions are reversible to some degree
If a system is in dynamic equilibrium then the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction
This means the concentrations of reactions and products do not change

27
Q

How is ammonia made

A

Haber process

28
Q

What is the molecular formula of methanoic acid?

A

HCOOH

29
Q

What is the molecular formula of ethanoic acid?

A

CH3COOH

30
Q

What is the molecular formula of propanoic acid?

A

CH3CH2COOH
