Q

Why does the alkali metal become more reactive as it goes down the group ?

A

The elements becomes more reactive down the group because it becomes easer for them to lose their outermost electrons this is due to the atom increasing in size found down the group

Q

Why was. Newlands law on octaves criticised?

A

This was because his groups contained elements that didn’t have similar properties e.g. carbon and Titanium

He mixed up metals and nonmetals e.g. oxygen and iron

He didn’t leave any gaps for elements that hadn’t yet been discovered

Q

What did Mendeleev do differently to Newlands ?

A

Mendeleyev put the elements in order of atomic mass like a new learns that he had to leave gaps in order to keep elements with similar properties in the same vertical column known as groups

He was prepared to leave some very big gaps in the first two rolls before the transition metals come in on the third rows

Q

What are the method to used in a water treatment plant?

A

The water passes through mashed screen to remove the bits like twigs

chemicals are added to make solids and micro stick together and fall to the bottom

water is filtered through a gravel bed to remove all the solid

Water is then chlorinated to kill off any harmful microbes left.

What are the disadvantages of adding fluoride into water?
Studies have shown exes fluoride can affect the brain Although with a small amount you can't set limits as you can't control people intake of the water It is ethnically wrong to give people treatment they have not consented to
25
Water is a natural resource describe the process involved in the water cycle?
Evaporation Condensation precipitation Surface run-off
26
Define an exothermic reaction?
An exothermic reaction is one which gives out energy to the surrounding usually in the form of heat and usually shown by a rise in temperature
27
Define what an endothermic reaction is?
And endothermic reaction is one which takes in energy from the surrounding usually in the form of heat and usually is shown by fall in temperature
28
What type of energy reaction is breaking bonds ?
Endothermic reaction this is because energy must always be supplied to break existing bonds Endothermic reaction has a positive energy change so more energy is needed to break existing bonds done is released when new bonds are made
29
What type of energy reaction is bond formation ?
Energy is released when you bonds are formed so born formation is an exothermic process they have a negative energy change so more energy is released when you bonds are made then is needed to break existing bonds
30
Define what activation energy means?
Activation energy is the minimum amount of energy required for a chemical reaction to occur
31
How does a catalyst affect the activation energy?
The catalyst to lower the activation energy this means the reaction will happen so easily and more quickly
32
What does a reversible reaction mean?
Is whining where the products of the reaction can them self react to produce the original reactants In other words the reaction can go both ways
33
What will happen if a reversible reaction takes place in a closed system(this is where none of the reactants or products can escape)
A state of equilibrium will be reached an equilibrium means that the amount of reactants and products I will reach a certain balance and stay there The overall effect is new because the forward and reverse reaction cancel each other out and the reaction taking place at exactly the same rate in both direction
34
How can you move the position of equilibrium(The relative amount of reactants and products) ?
It depends very strongly on the temperature and pressure surrounding the reaction
35
How does temperature in a reversible reaction affect the position of the equilibrium?
If you raise the temperature there endothermic reaction will increase to use up the extra heat If you reduce the temperature there exothermically action will increase to give out more heat
36
How does pressure in a reversible reaction affect the position of the equilibrium?
If you raise the pressure it will encourage the reaction which produces less volume If you lower the pressure it will encourage the reaction which will produce more volume
37
What is the functional group of alcohols
OH
38
What is the general formula of an alcohol
CnH2n +1OH
39
The first free alcohol have similar properties list some of them ?
Alcohols of flammable they burn in air to produce carbon dioxide and water The first three alcohols only dissolve completely in water to form neutral solution They also react with sodium to give hydrogen and alkoxides
40
What are the first 3 alcohol in the homologous series?
Methanol Ethanol Propanol
41
Alcohols are used as solvents Why are they very useful solvents in industry?
This is because they can dissolve substances that water can't dissolve Ethinyl is the solvent for perfume then aftershave lotion it to mix well with both the oil which gives the smell and the water that makes up the bulk Methylated spirits is ethanol with chemicals added to it if you think clean paint brushes and as a fuel
42
What is the functional group of a carboxylic acid?
COOH
43
What is the first names of a carboxylic acid?
Mea
44
What are the first 3 carboxylic acid ?
Methanoic acid Ethanoic acid Propanoic acid
45
What is the functional group of esters
COO
46
How are esters formed?
And acid catalyst is usually used Alcohol + carboxylic acid --> ester + water
47
Ethanol acid + ethanol--> ethyl ethanoate + water
Methanol + propanoic -> methyl propanoate + water
48
Advantages of esters
Many esters have pleasant smell of them quite sweet and fruity they are also volatile this makes them ideal for perfume Esters mix well with alcohol and other organic solvents
49
What are some disadvantages of esters?
Many esters of flammable third out volatility also make them potentially dangerous They don't mix very well with water
50
When a carboxylic acid reacts with carbonate what is produced?
Carbon dioxide & water Eg ethanoic acid + sodium carbonate --> Carbon dioxide + water + sodium ethanoate
51
When carboxylic acid dissolves in water to produce acidic solution what happens?
When they dissolve they ionise and release h+ ions which are responsible for making the solution acidic. But because they don't Ionise completely not many H+ ions are released, Day just for a week acidic solution. This means that they have a higher P Hache so less acidic than Aq solution of strong acids with the same concentration
52
How old carboxylic acid used in industry?
With longer chains of carbon atoms are used to make soaps and detergents Carboxylic acid are used in the preparation of esters
53
What is another term for sodium phosphate?
Washing soda
54
What is produced in the haver process What is needed to make ammonia
Ammonia Nitrogen Hydrogen
55
What is the industrial condition of the haber process?
Pressure: 200atmosphere Temperature : 450*c Catalyst: iron
56
What is titration used for?
Titration is used to determine accurately how much alkali is needed to react completely with a known volume of acid
57
What does the endpoint of titration mean?
This means when the acid base reaction is complete and is neutral
58
How can you determine the endpoint of the titration
Using a universal indicator
59
What do u do to test for carbonates
Test to see if carbon dioxide by bubbling it through it through like water If it is carbon dioxide the limewater turns cloudy
60
How to test for halides such as chloride, bromide , iodide
Add dilute nitric acid acid followed by silver nitrate solution Chloride gives a white percipiate of silver chloride
61
How do you test for sulphate ion
Add dilute HCI followed by barium chloride solution A whir percipiate of barium sulfatr means the original compound was a sulfate
62
Describe the process of water treatment from reservoir
The water passes through a mesh screen to remove big bits like twigs Chemicals are added to make sunbeds and microbes stick together and fall to the bottom The water is filtered through gravel beds to remove all the solids Is chlorinated to kill off any harmful microbes left
63
What is a reversible reaction
Is one where the products of the reaction Can themself react to produce the original reactants
64
What is the general formula of an alcohol
CnH2n+1OH
65
The first free alcohols have similar properties | state them
Alcohols are flammable. They burn in the air to produce carbon dioxide and water The first free alcohol all dissolve completely in water to form neutral solution They all react with sodium to give hydrogen and Alcoxide e.g. ethanol give sodium if ethoxide and hydrogen
66
What are the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen gas being used to burn to power vehicles
Advantages are that hydrogen combined with oxygen in the air to form just water so it is very clean Disadvantage is that you need special expensive engine and hydrogen is very hard to store
67
Flame test identifies metal ions
What colour would a lithium ion present what colour would a potassium ion give off Serena yelled cats r pests like Lolu calls beamari Google Sodium yellow calcium red potassium lilac lithium Crimson barium green light
