Developing Metals Flashcards by Emily Pollock

Describe how you would do a manganate(Vii) titration?

Measure out a quantity of reducing agent-Fe2+ with a pippette and put in conical flask

Add sulfuric acid (in excess)

Add MnO4- using a burette and swirl flask

When turns pink all reducing agent has been used up

State the 4 steps of rusting

Fe reacts with water and oxygen to make Fe2+ and OH-

Fe2+ + 2OH- ——-> Fe(OH)2

Reacts with water and oxygen
To make Fe(OH)3

Gradually turns into Fe2O3•H20

What can transition metals act as homogeneous catalysts?

They have variable oxidation states

Why can transition metals act as heterogeneous catalyst?

Transition metals use D and S subshell electrons to form weak bonds to the reactants

Why are complexes coloured?

The Ligands cause d orbitals to split resulting in an energy gap Electrons absorb light frequencies that match the energy gap to be able to get to the next from white light The complimentary colour to the frequency absorbed is the colour of the complex

What are the advantages and disadvantages of hydrogen fuel cells over fossil fuels?

Advantages Only water formed/ non polluting Greater efficiency Disadvantages Difficult to store h2 Difficult to manufacture initially Limited life cycle of h2 adsorber/absorber

What is standard electrode potential?

The potential difference of an electrochemical cell comprising a half cell combined with a standard electrode at standard conditions 1atm, 1 moldm-3, 298K

Give one use of chromium metal and state the property that makes it suitable

Stainless steel | Corrosion resistance

What are 2 examples of small ligands?

Water and ammonia

What is an example of large ligand?

Chlorine ions

What is a Brønsted-Lowry base?

Accepts H+ /protons

What do dilute ammonia and sodium hydroxide solution act as when reacting with transition metals?

Brønsted-Lowry bases

What happens when excess ammonia solution is added to copper metal ions (not in iron)?

Ligand substitution 4ammonia Ligands and 2 water

What happens when dilute ammonia or sodium hydroxide is added to fe or Cu?

Have 2 OH Ligands and 4water

Discuss two advantages and two disadvantages of using hydrogen fuels cells for energy rather than using fossil fuels.

advantages: only H2O formed/ non-polluting greater efficiency disadvantages: H2 difficult to store H2 difficult to manufactured initially / limited life cycle of H2 adsorber/absorber

Define the term standard electrode potential.

potential difference (of electrochemical cell) comprising of a half cell combined with a standard hydrogen electrode 1 1 atm, 1 mol.dm–3 , 298K

what does it mean is a substance has a really positive standard electrode potential?

it is a strong oxidising agent

in an electrochemical cell in which direction do electrons flow?

towards the half cells with the more positive standard electrode potential

why does a more positive electrode potential make a better oxidising agent?

they have a greater tendancy to gain electrons

why might a redox reaction in an electrochemical cell not occur?

electrode potenrial may be too small, rate is too slow, not enough activation energy, not standard conditions

how can you use colorimetry to find the concentration a substance and the rate

# choose filter with complementary colour to the substance you are trying to measure the concentration of make up stand solutions of coloured solutions zero the colorimeter with water measure absorbance of each standard solution plot calibration curve (absorbance against concentration) measure the absorbance of the unknown sample at certain times throughout the reaction use graph to read off each concentration for each absorbance measured plot concentration against time and find rate

why does iron corrode in the centre of a water droplet not at the edge?

the oxygen concentration is at its lowest here

what can electrochemical cells be used for?

to measure concentration of ions in a solution
