Q

What is the process of fractional distillation?

A

1) Pour solution into a flask
2) heat using a bunsen burner
3) mixutre of both liquids will evaporate ( with the liquid of lower boiling point “Liquid A” evaporating easier)
4) Liquids pass into the fractionating column, where they are repeatedly condensed and fall into the flask where they are evaporated again. (increasing the amound of liquid A in the fractionating column.)
5) Liquids slowly move up the column, until they reach the thermometer, causing temp to rise
6) Mixture of both liquids (containing mainly Liquid A) passes into the cooling jacket and condenses and is collected
7) The thermometer temp will eventually stop rising, at Liquid A’s boiling point
8) Now mainly Liquid A will pass into cooling jacket, condensing and being collected IN A NEW BEAKER
9) Eventually the temperature will begin to rise again
10) Mixture of both liquids (containing mainly liquid B) condenses, collected in another beaker
10) Finally, when the temperature stops again (at liquid B’s boiling point) mainly liquid B will be condensed and collected in it’s own beaker.

Q

What is the process of chromatography?

A

1) Draw a line in pencil near the bottom of the chromatography paper (Stationary phase)
2) Place dot of first colour “Colour A” on the line with a dot of the second colour “Colour B” next to it
3) Place the bottom of the paper into a solvent (Mobile phase)
4) The solvent dissolves Colour A and Colour B, taking them up the paper
5) Let the paper dry
6) Colour A has produced 1 spot of concentrated colour, while Colour B has 2 spots of 2 different colours (This may differ with other samples)
7) This shows that Colour A is made of 1 pure colour while Colour B is a combination of 2

Q

What was the process of the alpha scattering experiment?

A

1) A thin layer of gold foil was hung up facing the source of the particles
2) Particles were the fired at the gold foil
3) Most of the particles passed straight through the foil without changing direction, though sometimes a particle would change direction after passing through or just be reflected off of the sheet.

Q

What did the results from the alpha particle experiment show scientists?

A

1) The alpha particle experiment showed scientists that atoms are mainly empty space, due to how most particles passed through the atoms of the gold sheet.
2) It also showed that atoms had a positive center, due to how the positive alpha particles were deflected off of it.
3) It also showed that the center of an atom had a lot of mass (for a particle) due to how some alpha particles bounced back off of it.

32
How do you calculate the number of neutrons in an element?

33
What is an isotope?
An isotope is an atom of a certain element with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons.

41
What did John Newlands discover?
He discovered that by arranging elements in increasing order of atomic weight, each 8th elements properties would be similar, i.e. lithium, sodium, and potassium.
42
What did John Newlands call his new law?
John Newlands's law is called the law of octaves.
43
Why wasn't the law of octaves taken seriously?
Because there were multiple occassions where it had fumbled.
44
How did Dimitri Mendeleev develop the first modern periodic table?
1) He first arranged the elements based off of increasing atomic weight 2) He then switched around certain elements from their order so that their properties would match oher elements in the same group 3) He also left gaps in the table for undiscovered elements
45
What are the differences between Mendeleev's table and our modern day one?
Elements are now arranged in order of atomic number, and group 0 is now included on the table.
46

47
How can you show that an atom is an ion?

48
How do group 1 metals react with oxygen?
Group 1 metals react rapidly with oxygen, forming metal oxides, i.e. 2(Li2oO) (lithium oxide).
49
How do group 1 metals react with water and what is the equation?
They also react rapidly with water, producing hydrogen gas and forming an alkaline solution. The equation is Metal + Water = MetalHrydroxide + Hydrogen.
50
How can you tell that a group 1 metal has reacted in water?
1) Hydrogen gas will be produced, making a "popping" sound 2) By putting universal indicator into the water, or by using litmus paper, you can check if the solution is alkali. If so, the paper/water will have a colour change to purple/pink
51
Why does reactivity increase down group 1?
Reactivity increases down group 1 because of the fact that elements gain more electron shells as you go down the periods. This leads to the atomic radius increasing, putting the outer shell electron further away from the nucleus, decreasing attraction. As well as that, the more shells there are, the more "shielding" i.e. other electrons stopping forces of attraction from reaching the outer shell.
52
What is the measurement used for room temperature?
20 degrees celcius.
53
Why do halogens form covalent bonds with themselves?
Because of the fact that they both have 7 outer shell electrons, so can share 1 of them to become balanced.
54
What is halogen displacement?
Halogen displacement is where a more reactive halogen replaces the lesser from an aqueous solution of it's salt. i.e. Sodium Bromide + Flourine ---> Sodium Flouride + Bromine.

57
What is Dalton's theory?
Dalton's theory states: 1) All elements are made of tiny particles called atoms 2) All atoms of a given element are identical 3) The atoms of a given element are different from those of any other element 4) Atoms of one element can combine with atoms of other elements to form compounds. A compound always has the same relative numbers and types of atoms 5) Atoms are indivisible and cannot be created or destroyed, only rearranged
58

The parts stating that: "all elements are made of atoms, one element's atoms are different to another's and that during reactions, and that atoms separate and recombine to form different substances" are true.
59
What parts of Dalton's theory are false?
The parts stating that: "all atoms are indivisible and connot be broken down into smaller particles, and that all of the atoms of a particular element are identical" are false.
60
How do you find the empirical formula?
You simplify the molecular formula by the smallest number of atoms in the formula i.e. C2H4 ---> CH2
61
How do you find the molecular formula from the emprical formula?
1) Multiply the amount of atoms of each element by said element's relative atomic mass 2) Add those values together to get the relative molecular mass of the empirical formula 3) Divide the relative molecular mass of the compound by the relative molecular mass of the empirical formula 4) Finally, multiply the empirical formula by this number

What is the equation for w*rk done along with the units for each variable?

What is the process of the Hooke's law practical?
1) Place a heavy weight on the clamp stand and 2) Attatch a metre rule and spring to the clamps, making sure that the top of the spring aligns with the 0 point on the ruler and the metre rule is completely vertical and the wooden splint on the spring is horizontal 3) measure the length from 0 to the splint to get the unstretched length of the spring 4) Add a 1N weight and measure the length of the spring again 5) Keep on adding weight and measuring 6) Calculate the extension with each weight (Stretched length - unstretched) 7) Plot on a graph where x = weight and y = extension 8) Straight line = directly proportional curved line = indirect

What is the limit of proportionality?
The point where, if any more weight is added, the spring will no longer return to it's original length.

What is the equation for elastic potential energy transferred and what are the measurements for the units?
Elastic potential energy (E) (J) = 0.5 x Spring constant (k) (N/m) x extension^2 (e^2) (M)
