Chem Tys Flashcards
(64 cards)
Melting point down grp I vs grp VII
I: decr MP
VII: incr MP
Reactivity down grp I vs VII
I: incr reactivity
VII: decr reactivity
Ethene use vs ethyl ethanoate use
Ethene: to make polymers for packaging
Ethyl ethanoate: ink solvent
Evidence that a org compound group is a homologous series 4
- same general formula
- same functional group
- successive members differ by -CH2-
- gradation in physical properties (if shown)
Products of FULL combustion of a organic compound
~ + O2 -> CO2 + H2O
Explain why Haber process mixes N2 and H2 in 1:3 ratio
Using avogadros law: 1 mol N2 reacts w 3 mol H2, hence 1:3
Effect of pressure of FINAL amt of ammonia made in Haber
Unreacted gases recycled, final amt same regardless of pressure
Conc aq solution products
The products are of the aq solution cause they are both in high conc
Oxygen gas at positive electrode equation ionic
4OH- —> O2 + 2H2O + 4e-
When adding random reagents and asking for observations
- see if the resulting salts form ppt (insol)
- see if there’s metal to displace
- acids? Are there metals?
When metal added to carboxylic acid OBSERVATIONS
Effervescence observed
Rate of reaction slower than inorganic acid
Argon is used in…
Manufacture of steel!
Iron too ofc
Paraffin is used as
Aircraft fuel
Why isotopes have identical chemical properties
Same number of VALENCE electrons
Definition Relative Atomic Mass
Ratio of the average mass of an atom of an element to 1/12th of the mass of an atom of carbon-12
Definition disproportionating reaction
The same element is simultaneously oxidised and reduced in the same chemical reaction
Disadvantage of non biodegradable shit
Incr waste sent to landfills (takes up space) or incinerators
Speed of reaction
Incr gradient of graph = incr speed of reaction
Fuel cells (Chem of reaction)
Reactants are CONTINUOUSLY SUPPLIED to produce electricity, HYDROGEN usually used as its RENEWABLE AND POLLUTION FREE. however, it’s EXPENSIVE, FLAMMABLE AND LIGHT (^space req to store)
Bacicity of acids def
The max number of H+ ions produced by a molecule of an acid
Monobasic = 1H+
Dibasic = 2H+
Element that shows both metallic and non metallic character
Hydrogen
Element used for galvanising
Zinc (galvanise= coat iron or steel w prot layer of zinc)
Properties of transition elements
- form coloured compounds
- variable oxidation states in their compounds
- they and their compounds are good catalysts
Colour of silver IODIDE
yellow
