Q

why is a bike chain is protected from rusting by oiling it, rather than by painting it

A

the oil also lubricates the chain, helping it to move smoothly, paint flakes off when the bike is ridden, exposing the steel chain to air and water again

16
Q

why are alloys stronger than pure metals?

A

-solid metals have a regular lattice structure, when a force is applied to a metal, layers of atoms can move past each other
-the more difficult it is for the layers to move, the more force is needed and the stronger the metal
-alloy atoms have different sizes
-this distorts the lattice structure, so layers of atoms cannot slide over each other so easily

A

-incomplete reactions, some of the reactants do not react to form the product
-practical losses during the experiment, such as during pouring or filtering
-side reactions (unwanted reactions that compete with the desired reaction)

35

  3. fill the burette with dilute hydrochloric acid and note the starting volume
  4. slowly add the acid from the burette to the conical flask, swirling to mix
  5. stop adding the acid when the end-point is reached (when the colour first permanently changes from pink to colourless). note the final volume reading
  6. repeat steps 1 to 5 until you get concordant titres

44
Q

how to calculate a concentration with titration

A
  1. write down the mass, volume and concentration for each of the substances mentioned in the question
  2. convert any volume from cm³ to dm³
  3. with the substance you have a volume and concentration for, multiply the volume and concentration to find the amount of solute

  5. with the volume provided in the question for the required substance, divide the found mass of solute by the volume to find the concentration
45

49
Q

calculating volume of gas from mass

A

step 1: calculate the mass in mol of the substance you have an amount in g for (mass in g/mr)
step 2: find the amount of the substance that you are asked for in the question (mole ratio)

step 3: calculate the mass of the substance you’re asked to find (mr × amount in mol)

51
Q

what happens to plant minerals as they grow?

A

-as plants grow, they absorb mineral ions from the water in the soil through their root hair cells
-over time, the concentration of these ions decreases, so farmers and gardeners add fertilisers to the soil

52
Q

fertilisers

A

-provide mineral ions needed for healthy growth in plants

A

ammonia + oxygen → nitric acid + water

58
Q

making ammonium sulfate in the lab

A
  1. put some dilute sulfuric acid into a beaker
  2. add a few drops of methyl orange indicator
  3. add dilute ammonia solution drop by drop, stirring in between
  4. continue step 3 until the colour permanently changes from red to yellow
  5. add a few more drops of dilute ammonia solution
  6. pour the reaction mixture into an evaporating basin, and heat carefully over a boiling water bath
  7. stop heating before all the water has evaporated, leave aside for crystals to form
  8. pour away excess water and leave the crystals to dry in a warm oven (or pat dry with filter paper)
59
Q

batch process

A

a small amount of product is made slowly at any one time, and the apparatus cleaned ready to make another batch

60
Q

what happens in a reversible reaction at equilibrium

A

-the forward and backward reaction are still happening
-the forward and backward reactions have the same rate of reaction
-the concentrations of all the reacting substances remain constant (they do not change)

61
Q

how quickly an equilibrium is reached depends upon:

A

-the pressure of a reacting gas
-the concentration of a reacting solution
-the temperature of the reaction mixture
-the presence of a catalyst

62
Q

what happens to equilibrium when pressure increases?

A

-equilibrium position moves towards the fewest molecules of gas
-time to reach equilibrium decreases

63
Q

what happens to equilibrium when concentration increases?

A

-equilibrium position moves away from that reactant
-time to reach equilibrium decreases

64
Q

what happens to equilibrium when temperature increases?

A

-equilibrium position moves in the direction of the endothermic reaction
-time taken to reach equilibrium decreases

65
Q

A

-no change in equilibrium position
-time to reach equilibrium decreases

66
Q

what are the conditions used for industrial reactions related to?

A

the availability and cost of:
-raw materials
-energy supplies

67
Q

factors involved in choosing between manufacturing hydrogen by reacting natural gas with steam or the electrolysis of water

A

raw materials:
gas & steam = natural gas is non-renewable
electrolysis of water = water is readily available

energy supplies:
gas & steam = strong heating using natural gas, coal or fuels from crude oil
electrolysis of water = electricity can be generated using renewable resources

68
Q

what is a reaction pathway

A

the sequence of reactions needed to produce a desired product

69
Q

what does the reaction pathway depend on?

A

-percentage yield
-atom economy
-rate of reaction
-equilibrium position
-usefulness of by-products

70
Q

which two ways can ethanol be made?

A

-fermentation of plant sugars
-hydration of ethene (obtained from crude oil) using steam:

71
Q

fermentation of sugars facts

A

yield = 15%
atom economy = 51.1%
reaction rate = low

-lots of labour needed
-avg temp & low pressure needed (low energy)
-renewable

72
Q

hydration of ethene facts

A

yield = 95%
atom economy = 100%
reaction rate = high

-non renewable (crude oil)
-high temp and pressure (high energy)
-few workers needec

73
Q

what type of reaction is hydration if ethene?

A

-reversible
-the equilibrium position lies to the left, so only about 5% of the ethene supplied is converted to ethanol
-the overall yield of 95% is achieved by recirculating unreacted ethene through the reactor

74
Q

by products of fermentation of sugars

A

-carbon dioxide is a by-product of the fermentation of plant sugars
-it may be sold to fizzy drinks manufacturers to provide the bubbles in lemonade and cola
-this makes it a desirable product as well, so the atom economy can be increased to 100%.

75
Q

chemical cells/batteries

A

-use chemical reactions to transfer energy by electricity
-include the familiar batteries used in torches and mobile phones
-produce a voltage until one of the reactants is used up
-when this happens, the battery goes flat

76
Q

fuel cells

A

-produce a voltage continuously, as long as they are supplied with a fuel & oxygen from the air

77
Q

hydrogen-fuel cell

A

-hydrogen and oxygen are used to produce a voltage
hydrogen + oxygen → water

78
Q

strengths of hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells used in spacecraft

A

-they have no moving parts to maintain
-they are small for the amount of electricity they produce
-the water they produce is useful as drinking water

79
Q

how will a hydrogen-fuel cell continue working in space

A

-hydrogen-oxygen fuel cells must be supplied with hydrogen fuel and oxygen
-spacecrafts in orbit have solar cells
-these convert light into electricity, so the hydrogen and oxygen can be replaced by the electrolysis of water
-solar cells only work when they are in the light, so the fuel cells allow electricity to be produced even when the spacecraft is in the dark

80
Q

strengths of fuel cells & petrol/diesel for cars

A

fuel cells:
quiet in use; only waste product is water; fewer moving parts

petrol/diesel:
petrol and diesel are easier to store; thousands of filling stations

81
Q

weaknesses of fuel cells & petrol/diesel for cars

A

fuel cell:
hydrogen is more difficult to store; few filling stations

petrol/diesel:
noisy in use; carbon dioxide is a waste product; many moving parts

82
Q

suggest a reason that explains why the quietness of fuel cell vehicles may be a weakness

A

pedestrians may not hear the vehicle coming, and so they may be more likely to be run over when crossing the road
