Q

How is a redox reaction used to produce electricity in a voltaic cell?

A
  • e.g. zinc half cell connected to copper half cell
  • zinc is higher in activity series than copper so electrons will flow from zinc half cell to copper half cell
  • zinc electrode eventually gets smaller (as solid zinc goes into solution as Zn2+)
  • Cu electrode gradually gets larger as it becomes coated w/ copper (Cu2+ ions in sol pick up the electrons to form solid Cu)
  • COLOUR OF SOLUTION IN CU HALF CELL BECOMES PALER AS COPPER IONS BECOME COPPER ATOMS

Q

what does voltage produced depend on (voltaic cell)?

A
  • depends on relative difference b/w the 2 metals in the activity series
  • greater distance on activity series = higher voltage

Q

function of salt bridge

A

completes the circuit & keeps the half cells electrically neutral
negative ions go into Zn half cell
positive ions go into Cu half cell

Q

consequences of NO salt bridge

A
  • buildup of Zn2+ ions in left beaker –> solution becomes positive overall, no more oxidation of Zn to Zn2+
  • decrease in Cu2+ concentration in right beaker –> solution would have negative charge & further reduction of Cu2+ ions would be opposed

19
Q

which metal will be the negative electrode in the voltaic cell (anode)?

A

the more reactive metal will have the greater tendency to be oxidised & will be the anode

20
Q

what does the single vertical line represent?

A

phase boundary (b/w solid & aq sol)

21
Q

what does the double line represent?

A

the salt bridge

22
Q

define electrolysis

A

the breaking down of a substance (in molten state or solution) by the passage of electricity through it

23
Q

why electrodes usually made of graphite?

A

it is a fairly inert non-metal which conducts electricity

24
Q

define electrolyte

A

a solution or molten compound that will conduct electricity, with decomposition at the electrodes as it does so

contains IONS that are free to move towards the electrodes

25
Q

How do electrolytic cells carry an electric current?

A
  • battery provides source of electrical energy
  • pushes electrons onto the cathode, making it negatively charged
  • electrons are drawn OUT of the anode, making it positively charged
  • at the anode, oxidation occurs, releasing electrons that are then attracted to the positively charged anode
  • at the cathode, reduction occurs, which uses up the electrons that are building up on the cathode
26
Q

one application of electrolysis

A

used to obtain reactive metals, such as sodium, from their common ores

27
Q

Define BOD

A

the amount of oxygen used by aerobic microorganisms in water to decompose the organic matter in water over a fixed period of time (~5 days) at a fixed temperature (~20C)

28
Q

BOD levels

A

1-3 very good
3-5 moderately clean
6-9 poor (some microorganisms present)
100+ very polluted

29
Q

What is the oxidation state of sulfur in (S4O6)2- ?

A

+2.5

30
Q

What are random uncertainties caused by?

A

caused by limitations of the measuring apparatus & other uncontrollable variables that are inevitable in any experiment

30
Q

What are random uncertainties caused by?

A

caused by limitations of the measuring apparatus & other uncontrollable variables that are inevitable in any experiment

31
Q

how can effects of random uncertainties be limited?

A
  • conducting repeat trials / measurements
  • careful design of experiment
  • can never be completely eliminated
32
Q

uncertainties are usually quoted to how many sig figs? for analog instruments

A

usually 1 sig figs only

remember: half the smallest division to which you take a reading

33
Q

e.g. of human limitation

A

reaction time

34
Q

define precision

A

a measure of how close a series of measurements are to one another

35
Q

define accuracy

A

how close a measurement is to the actual value of a particular quantity

36
Q

what causes systematic errors?

A

occur as a result of a flaw in the experimental design or apparatus

cannot be reduced by conducting repeat trials

37
Q

equation for percentage error

A

percentage error = (experimental value - theoretical value) / theoretical value
x 100

If the experimental value is less than the theoretical value, the percentage error will be negative & vice versa

38
Q

equation for percentage uncertainty (%)

A

(absolute uncertainty / measurement) x 100%

39
Q

how to calculate uncertainty of the mean?

A

take the uncertainty of the mean to be 2/3 of the deviation from the mean

40
Q

when quantities w/ uncertainties are added or subtracted. . .

A

the ABSOLUTE uncertainties are ADDED

41
Q

when quantities w/ uncertainties are multiplied or divided. . .

A

the PERCENTAGE uncertainties should be ADDED

42
Q

if 12.12 +/- 0.01 is multiplies by 3, what is the answer?

A

36.36 +/- 0.03

for division, u divide the uncertainty by 3 as well

43
Q

how to work out gradient of curve at specific point

A

draw a tangent to the curve at the desired point
work out the gradient of the tangent as usual

44
Q

IHD is. . .

A

the number of double bond equivalents

45
Q

formula for IHD

A

2x+2-y / 2

46
Q

what is the IHD of benzene?

A

4, because it has 1 ring and the equivalent of 3 double bonds

47
Q

rules for IHD

A
  1. ignore O
  2. count a halogen as a hydrogen
  3. if it has nitrogen atoms, subtract 1 hydrogen atom for every nitrogen atom, & then calculate as normal
