40
Q

What is a hazard?

A

Anything that has the potential to cause harm or damage.

41
Q

What is the risk associated with a hazard?

A

The probability of someone being harmed if they are exposed to the hazard.

42
Q

List 4 ways you can reduce the risk of being chemically burned:

A
  • Using a lower concentration of acid
  • Wear gloves
  • Wear a lab coat
  • Use goggles
43
Q

What does a titration show you?

A

Exactly how much of an acid is needed to neutralise an alkali.

44
Q

How do you do a titration?

A
  • Measure some alkali and put it in a flask along with some indicator
  • Fill burette with acid
  • Add the acid to the alkali until you find the end point
  • Work out the amount of acid required to neutralise the alkali
45
Q

In a titration, when do indicators change colour?

A

When the acid has been neutralised

46
Q

What does methyl orange do when the acid has been neutralized?

A

Turns yellow to red

47
Q

What does phenolphthalein do when the acid has been neutralized?

A

Turns from red to colourless

48
Q

Why is it best to put the flask from a titration on a white surface?

A

So you can clearly see the colour change.

49
Q

What is the uncertainty?

A

The amount of error in the measurements you have.

50
Q

What causes uncertainty?

A

The limits to the sensitivity of the equipment you used

51
Q

As there is a mark every 0.1cm^3 for a 50cm^3 buretter, what is the uncertainty?

A

+ or - 0.05cm^3

52
Q

What is the percentage uncertainty?

A

Uncertainty / reading X 100

53
Q

List 2 ways you can reduce uncertainty:

A
  • Use more precise equipment

- Use a larger volume of liquid

54
Q

What are systematic errors caused by?

A

The set-up or equipment you used

55
Q

Give an example of a random error:

A

Estimating between 2 marks

56
Q

Does repeating an experiment help get rid of random errors?

A

Yes

57
Q

Does repeating an experiment help get rid of systematic errors?

A

No

58
Q

How do you calculate total % uncertainty?

A

Add up the % uncertainty of each instrument you used.

59
Q

What is the percentage yield?

A

Actual yield / theoretical yield X 100

60
Q

What is the atom economy?

A

Mr of desired products / Mr of all products X 100
