Q

How has the history of the atom changed?

6 marks

A
  • 19th century - John Dalton described them as solid spheres that made diffrent elements
  • 1897 JJ thomson did experiments showing atoms were made of negative electrons “plum pudding model”
  • 1909 - rutherfore did the gold foild experiment - where he thought the positive alpha particles will all go thought the thin sheet of gold but a small amount were defected backwards
  • this led him to come up with the nuclear atom - that there was a positive nucleus with electrons and mostly empty space
  • scientists fould that if that was true the electrons should but atracted to the nucleus , collapsing, so Bohr suggested that electrons had shells with fixed energy
  • this was supported my many experiments

Q

What are the advantages and limitations of the structure atomic models?

8 marks

A
  • 2D representations are simple and good at showing what atoms something contains and how they’re connected - but they dont show shape of ideas of size
  • dot and cross diagrams are useful for showing how compounds are formed and where the electrons bond / ion came from (in ionic bonds) but they dont tell you how they are aranged / the size
  • 3D models of ionic solids show the arrangement of ions - but dont show the outer layer of substance
  • 3D ball and stick model helps visualise structures in 3D and are more relistic the 2D - but they are misleading due to the big gaps where electrons would be interacting and incorrect scales / diffrent relative sizes of atoms

Q

What are the properties of simple molecular substances (simple covalent)

5 marks

A
  • Held together by very strong covalent bonds
  • But has a very weak attraction between molecules.
  • You need to break the intermolecular forces to melt or boil so they have low boiling poins
  • As the molecule gets bigger, the strength of the intermolecular for forces increase.
  • They didn’t conduct electricity because they don’t contain free electrons or ions.

Q

What is the reason for a change in mass during a reaction?

2 + 3 marks

For increase and decrease

A

increase:
- One of the reactants could be found in the air and the mass of gas can’t be measured
- When the gas reacts to form the product, the total mass will increase.

decrease:
- One of the products is a gas
- If the vessel isn’t enclosed, then the gas can escape from the reaction vessel as its formed So you can’t measure its mass
- Decreasing the total mass.

  1. Write the balanced equation
  2. Work out the Mr
  3. Work out the moles from the substance you know the mass of
  4. Find the ratio between the 2 substances to get moles of other substance
  5. moles x Mr = mass

Al + O2 -> Al2O3
135g of Al
need to find mass of Al2O3

balence = 4Al + 3O2 -> 2Al2O3
Mr Al = 27 —- Mr Al3O3 = 102
135 / 27 = 5 moles of Al
4Al : 2Al2O3 = 2:1
moles of Al2O3 = 2.5

Q

How can you test for pure substances?

5 marks

A
  • Every element has a specific boiling and melting point
  • You can test the purity by comparing the actual melting point to the expected value.
  • If substance is a mixture (impure), it will gradually melt here at a range of temperatures
  • If it has a sharp exact melting/boiling point, it is pure
  • To do this, you can use melting point apparatus to heat up a small sample.

Q

How would you carry out fractional distillation to a separate mixtures of a liquid?

5 marks

A
  1. Put mixture in the flask attached to a fractionating column and condenser
  2. Heat the different liquids as they are different boiling points and evaporate at different temperatures.
  3. Lowest boiling point will evaporate first when thermometer matches boiling point of liquid and it will go to top of column
  4. Higher boiling points may start to evaporate to but the column is cooler towards the top, so they condense before they get to the top
  5. When the first liquid has been collected, the temperature is raised, so the next substance can reach the top.

How could you combine chromatography and simple distillation to analyse the composition of an ink?

5 marks

A
  1. Ink is a mixture of different dyes dissolved in a solvent.
  2. You can do simple distillation to evaporate off the solvent and collect it if ink is the lowest boiling point.
  3. The thermometer will read the boiling point - if it is the same as another substances (e.g. 100 for water) it will likely be that
  4. Then do paper chromatography of a sample of ink to separate the dyes in the ink so you can see how many there are.
  5. Then compare the rfi use and reference them to see what dyes are in the ink.

negative ions -> anode

56
Q

When doing aqueous solutions in electrolysis, what goes to the cathode and what goes to the anode?

4 marks

A

cathode = either the positive ion or if the ion is more reactive then hydrogen H+ will form

anode = if the negative ion is in group 7 (halide) it will form otherwise O2 will form

57
Q

What will happen if you use non insert electrodes electrolysis?

6 marks

how do you find the change in mass

A
  • If you sets up the electrolysis practical, but using copper electrodes instead of insert electrodesthe results will be diffrent
  • The mass of the anode will decrease, and the mass of the cathode will increase because the copper will be transferred to the cathode
  • Needs to be left running for 30 minutes.
  • Find the difference between the masses before and after
  • Make sure the electrodes are dried before finding mass with electronic balance
  • If you increase the current, there will be a bigger difference between the masses.

63
Q

How are some metals extracted by reduction with carbon?

4 marks

A
  • Metals above carbon in the reactivity series have to be extracted using electrolysis.
  • metals below Carbon in the reactivity series can be extracted by reduction using carbon.

3 marks

A
  • It is more expensive because you need a large amount of electricity.
  • You also need to melt or dissolve the metal ore
  • Is much more expensive than reduction with carbon

The lower down reactivity series, the cheaper it is to extract

65
Q

What is bioleaching

3 marks

A
  • The use of bacteria to separate metals from their ores
  • The the bacteria gets energy from the bonds between the atoms of the ore, separating the metal from the ore in the process.
  • The leachate contains metal ions, which can be extracted by. electrolysis or displacement.
66
Q

What is phytoextraction?

4 marks

A
  • This involves growning plants in soil that contain metal compounds.
  • The plant can’t use or get rid of the metal, so they gradually build up in the leaves.
  • The plants can be harvested dried and burned in a furnace. And the ash produced contains the metal compound.
  • This end can be extracted by electrolysis or displacements
67
Q

What are the benefits of recycling?

6 marks

A
  • Extracting raw materials can take large amounts of energy Which brands fossil fuels contributing acid rain and climate change
  • It only needs a small fraction of energy / money then what It would need to extract.
  • There’s a finite amount of materials
  • Mine’s damaged the environment, destroying habitats
  • It reduces landfill, which pollutes surroundings
  • It creates jobs As is lots of stages of the process
68
Q

What is a life cycle assessment

1 marks

A
  • He looks at each stage of the life of a product. And works out the potential, environmental impact at each stage.
69
Q

What are the enviromental impacts at the choice of material and manufacture stage of the life cycle assessment?

7 marks ( 2 + 5)

A

choice of material:
- Metals have to mined and extracted, which uses lots of energy and cause pollution.
- Raw materials come from crude oil, which is non renewable. and requires lots of energy and makes pollution.

manufacture:
- Manufacturing products use lots of energy and resources.
- Can cause lots of pollution and harmful fumes
- Different ways of disposing of waste
- Some waste can be recycled and turned into other useful chemicals.
- Most chemicals need water And business needs to make sure they don’t put polluted water back into the environment.

70
Q

What are the environmental impacts of the product use and disposal part of the life cycle assessment?

6 marks

A

product use:
- Paint gives off toxic fumes
- Burning fuse release greenhouse gases and other harmful substances
- fertilisers can bleach into streams and rivers, causing damage to ecosystems.

disposal:
- Products are often disposed in landfill
- This can take up space and pollute water and land
- Products might be incinerated, which causes air pollution

71
Q

What is an dynamic equilibrium When talking about reversible reactions?

6 marks

A
  • As the reactants fall, the products go up Slowing down the forwards reaction as there is less concentration on that side
  • As the concentration of the products increases, the backwards reaction will speed up.
  • At an equilibrium, both reactions are still happening, but there’s no overall effect
  • This doesn’t mean that the products/reactants are equal. They could be, there could be more products or more reactants
  • dynamic equilibrium is when the forward and backward reactions are happening at the same rate. So the concentration of the eruptions and products won’t change.
  • This can only happen in a closed system
72
Q

What 3 things change the position of an equilibrium

3 marks

A
  • Temperature
  • Pressure
  • Concentration
73
Q

What is Le chatelier’s principle?

6 marks

A

temp:
- If you decrease the temperature, the equilibrium will move to the exothermic direction to produce more heat
- If you increase the temperature, the equilibrium will move to the endothermic direction to aborb more heat

pressure:
- If you increase the pressure, the equilibrium will move to the side that has fewer moles of gas to reduce the pressure.
- If you decrease the pressure, the equilibrium will move to a side with more moles of gas to increase pressure.

concentration:
- If you increase the concentration of your reactants, the equilibrium will move to the right to use up the reactants.
- If you increase the concentration of the products, the Equilibrium will move to the left to use up the products.
- same if you decrease them

If there is a change, the equilibrium will move to counteract the change

74
Q

What other properties of transition metals?

7 marks

A
  • They’re hard, strong, shiny and malleable.
  • They conduct heat and electricity
  • High melting points apart from Mercury.

75
Q

How are alloys harder than pure metals?

2 marks

A
  • Pure metals are malleable because in regular arrangement the layers of ions can slide over each other.
  • If you add a different sized atom, it will be more difficult for the layers to slide over each other, making it stronger.
76
Q

Why is steel used as an alloy of iron?

3 marks

and how is it made?

A
  • Is made by adding a small amount of carbon
  • Steal is harder and stronger
  • Iron on same wore rust and corrode but steal is much less likely to rust
77
Q

What are the many alloys we use in everyday life? And why are they used?

5 marks

A
  • Bronze (copper + tin) - strong so it can be used in decorative ornaments
  • Brass (copper +zinc) more malleable so it can be used lower friction e.g. taps / door fittings
  • gold alloy copper / silver) - Normally very soft, but when combined with stronger metals it can be used to make jewellery.
  • Aluminium alloy - Its low density with the combination of other metals to make it strong give it the ability to be used to make aircrafts.
  • magnalium (Aluminium + Magnesium) - It’s much stronger lighter and corrodes less than pure aluminium So it can be used in vehicles.
78
Q

What is Corrosion?

1 mark

A

A process where something is slowly damaged or destroyed by a chemical process.

79
Q

What are the different ways to prevent rusting

4 marks

A
  • painting - Acts as a barrier I makes it colourful.
  • oiling / greasing - Used when moving parts are involved.
  • Sacrificial protection - Putting a more reactive metal over the metal you’re using?
  • Galvanaising - An example of sacrificial protection where a coat of zinc is put over an iron object So it will lose its electrons and corrode instead of the iron
  • electroplating

You can prevent rusting by coating the iron with a barrier, keeping the water and oxygen out

80
Q

What is electroplating

5 marks

and whats it good for

A
  • Coating the surface of a metal with another metal using electrolysis.
  • The cathode is objectic you going to electroplate and the anode is the bar of metal you are using to plate.
  • Your electrolyte is a solution containing the metal ion you are going to use for the plating.
  • The metal you’re pleating over doesn’t corrode easily. so it’ll be good for cutlery and cooking utensils
  • jewellery and decorative items are often electroplated with gold or silver as it improves appearance.

Q

Practical

How would you carry out a titration practical to find out concentrations

6 marks

Titration allows you to find out exactly how much acid is needed to neutralise a quantity of alkali. Vice versa

A
  1. Using a pipette measure outer set volume of the alkali into a flask and add a few drops of indicator. (methyl orange)
  2. Fill a burret with a known concentration of acid
  3. Use the burret to add the acid to the alkali a bit at a time. Swirl the flask regularly. one drop at a time When you think that alkali is almost neutralised
  4. The methyl Orange will turn red when enough acid has beed added
  5. Record the volume of acid use to neutralise And repeat the process a few times, making sure you get a very similar result each time, and take the mean.
  6. To get the concentration, do moles of acid added divided by volume of acid added.

mol/dm-3 or g/dm-3

82
Q

How would you calculate a percentage yield

1 mark

A

(actual / theoretical ) x 100

83
Q

What are the reasons you never get 100% yield?

3 marks

A
  • incomplete reactions - Not all the reactants are converted into products.
  • practical losses - You always lose a bit when you transfer chemicals between containers.
  • Unwanted reactions - If unexpected reactions happen, the yield of intended product goes down Due to impurities in the reactants or change or changes to the conditions.
84
Q

How do you do atom economy to find the percentage of useful products?

1 mark

A

( (total Mr of desired product) / (total Mr of all products) ) x 100

85
Q

What are the factors that affect profit from industry?

6 marks

in terms of chemistry formulas

A
  • Atom economy - Reactions with low atom economies use up the resources very quickly and create lots of wastes You have to dispose.
  • Percentage yield - The higher the yield the more profit
  • Rate of reaction - Is it going fast enough to produce the amount of products you need to make profit
  • Reversible reactions - How expensive is controlling the reaction conditions
  • energy cost
  • raw maturial cost
86
Q

What is the reaction of the haber process?

1 mark

A

N2 + 3H(2) <-> 2NH3 (+heat)

87
Q

What are the conditions of the haber process? and why?

6 marks

A
  • The higher the pressure, the better the forward direction. (more moles on the left)
  • Pressure has to be highest possible while not being too expensive. so it operates at 200 atmospheres.
  • The forwards reaction is exothermic Which means increasing the temperature is the wrong way
  • However, the lower the temperature, the lower the rate of reaction.
  • So 450 degrees is used as a Compromise. between the maximum yield and the speed of reaction. (10% in 20s > 20% in 60s)
  • an iron catalysts makes the reaction go faster, so it reaches the equilibrium faster too, while not. affecting the position of it.

200atm, 450 degrees, iron catalyst

Q

How would fertilisers help plants grow?

4 marks

A
  • They contain the three main essential elements, nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium.
  • plants need these as it affects their growth and life processes
  • Fertillsers supply these if they’re missing from the soil Or can just provide more - increasing the crop yield, speed and size
  • Ammonia fertfertilisers have an advantage as they control the composition of chemicals and how much is made - and can be soluble so chemicals can disolve into soil
89
Q

How do you use titration to produce ammonium sulfate?

6 marks

A
  1. Get a flask with ammonium solution and methyl orange indicator (yellow)
  2. Put a burette above put up by a clamp containing dilute sulfuric acid.
  3. Slowly add the dilute sulfuric acid from the burret into the ammonia until the yellow colour just changes red.
  4. When it changes, it means that ammonia has been neutralised. and you have ammunia sulphate solution.
  5. The ammonium Sulphate solution isn’t pure, as it has methyl orange in it, so you have to repeat with the exact same amounts of volume with no indicator.
  6. To get ammonium sulphate crystals gently evaporate the solution And until only a little bit is left. Leaved it to crystallise, then filter out the crystals and leave to dry.
