32
Saturated solution
no more solute will dissolve at a given temperature.
33
Gases + solubility + temp
gases become less soluble as temperature increases
34
Reasons % yield not 100
the reaction will not go to completion if it is reversible some of the product may be lost when it is separated from the reaction mixture some of the reactants may also react in ways different to the expected reaction.

53
Why does boiling point decrease down 1
distance of the delocalised electrons to the 1+ ion core within the metallic solid will increase as the ions get larger, causing a decrease in the metallic bond strength.
54
Iodine colour when displaced
Brown liquid
55
Bromine is more reactive than iodine. Bromine can…
OXIDISE an iodide ion because it REMOVES an electron
56

57
Why do densities increase down group
increasing mass of the atoms.
58
Separating funnel use
to separate two immiscible liquid
59
Upper layer on separating funnel
Lower density
60
Purpose of narrowing walls on separating funnel
make it easier to close the tap the moment the last drop of the lower layer has passed through
61
Fractional distillation use
to separate miscible liquids (ones soluble in each other)
62
Why does the spot need to be above the solvent line in chromatography
so that it spreads up with the rising solvent rather than dissolves in the solvent at the bottom
63
Why lid on chromatography
ensure that the atmosphere in the tank has a saturated solvent vapour. This prevents the solvent evaporating from the paper rather than rising.
64
What is centrifugation
used to separate heterogeneous mixtures based on their differences in particle mass
65
How does centrifugation work
If a liquid is mixed with a solid, the solid particles to settle to the bottom of a container as they are more dense than the liquid. When the solid is small or finely divided, random motion and collisions of the particles causes them to settle much more slowly and in some cases they do not settle to the bottom. Centrifugation encourages settling by spinning the mixture at high speed in a horizontal circle. As the mixture is spun, the heavier particles are brought to the end of the tube. The heaviest particles settle out first, becoming a pellet at the bottom of the tube. The remaining liquid may be pure, a solution or still contain small solid particles. The remainder, called the supernatant may be decanted into a new tube and spun again at a higher speed to separate the smaller particles.
66
Remainder from centrifugation
supernatant
67
If the single solid component is wanted
decantation, filtration or centrifugation can be used.
68
Gas-gas mixtures can be separated by…
centrifugation or cyrogenic distillation.
69
Define acid
ability to donate H+ ions
70
Salt definition
compound formed when the hydrogen ions in an acid are replaced by metal ions (or other cations)
71
Reactions between metals and acids will only occur if…..
the metal is more reactive than hydrogen.
72
Explain why silver sulfate cannot be prepared by adding silver metal to dilute sulfuric acid.
Silver is less reactive than hydrogen, so no reaction will take place under standard conditions.
73

HCl(aq) → H+(aq) + Cl−(aq)
80
Diprotic
H2SO4(aq) → 2H+(aq) + SO42−(aq) donate two acidic H+(aq) ions per acid molecule.
81

86
Neutralisation
Exothermic
87
Why neutralisation is exothermic
there is no bond breaking (endothermic)
88
Iodine clock
time taken for the starch indicator to form a blue-black colour with iodine, I2, is measured = proportional to the initial rate of reaction.
89
10 degree increase
In many reactions, an increase in 10 °C will approximately double the rate of reaction as approximately twice as many particles will have sufficient energy to react.
90
endothermic
melting of ice and the boiling of water
91
Bind energies only apply
When a gas
92
Limitations of bond energies
- average values - can only be done for reactions which take place entirely in the gaseous state.
93
Assumptions in calorimetry - in aqueous solution
- the density of solution is 1.00 g cm−3 - SHC of solution is that of water - only the water has absorbed any heat and that the calorimeter does not absorb any energy
94
Calorimeter material
Polystyrene = insulator = prevent heat loss to surroundings
95
Calorimetry in combustion experiments
fuel is placed in a burner and when lit, the energy is used to heat water contained in a copper calorimeter.
96
Calorimetry in combustion experiments - assumptions extra q
Incomplete combustion can be a problem Heat loss to the surroundings is more likely in this open system Heat is lost to the calorimeter = conductor
97
Electron movement in electrolysis
from the positive electrode to the negative electrode.
98
Fractional distillation crude oil
- vaporised - passed into the bottom of a long column (a fractionating column) which is hot at the bottom and cool at the top - different component molecules of the vapour rise until they reach a point where the temperature is below their boiling point; here they condense, and the liquid is run off.
99
Small hydrocarbons
Low boiling point Very volatile Flow easily Ignite easily
100
Large molecules
High boiling point Not very volatile Do not flow easily Do not ignite easily
101
Viscous meaning
do not flow easily
102
Larger molecules
more viscous (do not flow easily) and are less flammable.
103
Second stage of refining
catalytic cracking.
104
catalytic cracking.
longer chain molecules are passed over a heated catalyst and are broken down into shorter chain molecules Random
105
two main types of condensation polymers
polyesters and polyamides.
106
Ester forms from
carboxyl group of a carboxylic acid combines with a hydroxyl group of an alcohol
107
Amide linkage
carboxyl group of a carboxylic acid combines with an amine group, -NH2.
108
Proteins
formed from long chains of amino acids joined by amide linkages
109
Biodegradable polymers
down (degrade) after their intended use to produce such natural products as: CO2, N2, H2O often contain ester or amide linkages.
110
Non-biodegradable polymers
not broken down after their intended use tend to consist of long chains of carbon and hydrogen atoms = strong bonds
111
Na + water vs Na + alcohol 🍺
When sodium is added to water, the reaction is fast and vigorous When sodium is added to ethanol the reaction is much slower and more moderate.
112
Na + alcohol
2Na + 2C2H5OH → 2C2H5ONa + H2
113

118
Ester naming
first part of the name comes from the alcohol and the second part of the name is the salt of the carboxylic acid
119
Metal reactivity
Most reactive - group 1 (only one electron needed to go) Then 2 = process of losing 2 electrons requires more energy 3 = even more energy needed Transition metals are the least reactive
120
Iron
Fe2+ and Fe3+
121
Reactivity metals
122
Reactivity metals
123
Positive Electrode (anode) = aqueous
If halide ions (Cl-, Br-, I-) and OH- are present then the halide ion is discharged at the anode, loses electrons and forms a halogen (chlorine, bromine or iodine) If no halide ions are present, then OH- is discharged at the anode, loses electrons and forms oxygen
124
Negative Electrode (cathode) - aqueous
If the metal is above hydrogen in the reactivity series, then hydrogen will be produced and bubbling will be seen at the cathode This is because the more reactive ions will remain in solution, causing the least reactive ion to be discharged
125
Extract metals
NEEDS TO BE REDUCED
126
How to extract metal x with carbon
Metals below carbon can be extracted from their ores by reduction using carbon or carbon monoxide, such as iron from iron ore (haematite) in a blast furnace. BECAUSE CARBON IS MORE REACTIVE + CAN DISPLACE
127
When to use electrolysis to extract metal
When more reactive then carbon
128
Displacement reactions of metals
occur when a more reactive metal is added to a dissolved compound of a less reactive metal
129
Why does Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2 happen but Cu + H2SO4 → no reaction happens
magnesium is above hydrogen in the reactivity serie = can displace copper is below hydrogen in the reactivity series = can’t displace
130
Aluminium
silvery-white, lightweight soft and malleable corrosion resistant and non-toxic, Low density Electrical conductor cans, kitchen foil and utensils
131
Iron pure
Soft
132
High carbon steel
strong but brittle and is used in cutting tools and drill bits.
133
Low carbon steel
softer and more easily shaped, and is used in car bodies.
134
Where does steel come from
Impure iron is purified and then mixed with controlled amounts of carbon to produce steel which is strong, malleable (can be shaped) and ductile (can be drawn into wires)
135
Copper
- good conductor - ductile - malware - strong - unreactive - wires - cooking
136
Silver
Best thermal / electrical conductor - jewellery - lustre - antimicrobial
137
Gold
- soft - heavy metal - ductile - malleable - conductor
138
Titanium
As strong as steel but less dense - aircraft
139
desired properties for a hip replacement
high strength, low density, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
140
How do the properties of transition metals differ from Group 1 elements?
Compared to Group 1 metals, transition metals have high melting points and boiling points. They are also strong, hard and unreactive. Transition metals often form coloured compounds and form ions of different charges that enable them to be used as catalysts.
141

143
Carbon dioxide
Calcium hydroxide to form calcium carbonate
144
Chlorine
piece of damp blue litmus or indicator paper is held in the gas. Chlorine forms an acidic solution in water which turns the litmus red. Chlorine is also a bleach so the red and blue colours will then both fade to leave a white colour
145
Sulfate
dilute nitric or hydrochloric acid to the unknown solution, followed by a solution of barium nitrate or chloride.
146
Order
1) Test for the presence of carbonate ions using a dilute acid 2) Test for the presence of sulfate ions using HCl/BaCl2(aq) 3) Test for halide ions using HNO3/AgNO3(aq)

161
testing for Fe2+
green precipitate of Fe(OH)2 that initially forms will turn brown on standing as it oxidises in the air to form Fe(OH)3
162
Test for water
using solid copper(II) sulfate white when anhydrous but blue when hydrated
163
Test for water equation
CuSO4(s) + 5H2O(l) → CuSO4·5H2O(s) If excess water is added, the copper(II) sulfate will dissolve to form a blue solution, CuSO4(aq).
164
Quantitative analysis of Sulfate
concentration of the sulfate ions can be found by adding an excess of barium chloride solution. The precipitate can be filtered, dried and weighed. The number of moles of barium sulfate can be determined from the mass of dry solid. From the volume of solution tested, the concentration of sulfate ions can be found.
