Gas Preparation Flashcards
What are the uses of Oxygen?
- Ventilation
- Welding
What is the reaction for making oxygen?
Decomposition: 2H₂O₂ → 2H₂O + O₂
What is the catalyst and what is in the separating funnel in the making of oxygen?
catalyst: MnO₂
separating funnel: H₂O₂
What is the apparatus called in the preparation of gases?
trough (container)
delivery tube
separating funnel
conical flask
GAS JAR
what is the test for oxygen?
glowing splint: splint re-ignites
DON’T COLLECT THE FIRST BITS OF OXYGEN
ok…
What is the use for carbon dioxide?
fire extenguishers
what is the reaction for the preparation of CO₂?
CaCO₃ + HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂
does carbon dioxide react with water? what is the equation?
yes it does
CO₂ + H₂O → H₂CO₃
what is the test for CO₂?
limewater → colorless to cloudy
metal + acid →
salt + hydrogen
what metals are used in the preparation of hydrogen?
why
Mg or Zn because they aren’t too reactive or unreactive
what is the reaction for preparing hydrogen?
Mg + HCl → MgCl₂ + H₂
Zn + HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂
What is the test for hydrogen?
what is the equation H₂ + O₂ →
burning splint: explodes with a pop
H₂ + O₂ → H₂O
What are the properties of Hydrogen?
- Low mpt
- Does not conduct
- Insoluble in water
