Q

Definition of Precipitate

A

A solid that is formed by a chemical reaction involving liquids or gases

17
Q

What is a reducing agent?

A

A substance that tends to lose electron or be oxidized

18
Q

What is a oxidising agent?

A

A substance that tends to oxidize other substance.

19
Q

What is a Redox reaction?

A

A reaction that involve the transfer of electrons from one species to another

20
Q

Definition of reductions:

A

Loss of oxygen and gaining electron

21
Q

Definition of oxidation:

A

A substance gains oxygen and loses electrons.

22
Q

Acid + Metal —->

A

Salt + Hydrogen

23
Q

Acid + Alkali —–>

A

Salt + Water

24
Q

Acid + Base (metal oxide) –>

A

Salt + Water

25
Q

Acid + Metal carbonate –>

A

Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide

26
Q

Acid + Ammonia –>

A

Ammonium ions

27
Q

How to carry out titration to work out concentration of unknown?

A
  1. Measure 25cm^3 of alkali using a pipette into a conical flask.
  2. Add Phenolphthalein
  3. Add acid to the burette and note starting volume.
  4. Add acid slowly until indicator chages colour.
  5. Record final volume and work out difference
  6. Repeat to get concordant results.
28
Q

Concordant definition

A

Results that differ by 0.2 cm^3 or less

29
Q

Steps to make a soluble salt from an acid and an insoluble base

A
  1. Add powdered insoluble reactant to acid in a beaker, one spatula at a time, stirring to mix. Continue adding powder until it is in excess, so that all the acids has reacted.
  2. Filter the mixture in the beaker to remove the excess solid. The filtrate now contains only the salt and water.
  3. Heat the solution on a evapourating dish over the bunsen burner. Stop heating when small crystals start to form.
  4. Leave the solution cool at room temperature.
  5. Dry it with filter paper.

Q

Equation for rusting

A

Iron + Oxygen + Water –> hydrated Iron(II) oxide

31
Q

3 Types of rust prevention

A

Galvanising, Barrier Method, Sacrificial protection

32
Q

How does galvanising protect iron from rusting

A

Coat iron with a layer of Zinc. Zinc is higher in reactivity series so reacts instead of the iron with oxygen.

33
Q

How does Barrier Method prevent iron from rusting

A

Coat iron with paint/grease/oil to stop oxygen and water reaching iron

34
Q

How does sacrificial protection prevent iron from rusting

A

Attach a block of more reactive metal to iron. The more reactive metal is oxidised instead of iron.

35
Q

How does sacrificial protection prevent iron from rusting

A

Attach a block of more reactive metal to iron. The more reactive metal is oxidised instead of iron.
