Explain how you know that a solid is soluble in a solvent in terms of forces of attraction

If new attractive forces formed between solute and solvent

- are strong enough to overcome the old ones between the solute

Explain the 6 major steps in an experiment of investigating solubility of a solute in solvent

measure basin
heat boiling tube and allow solute to dissolve until no more solute can dissolve
pour solution into evaporating basin and weigh basin now
heat solution to evaporate all water until heated to a constant mass
measure the solute and the basin
calculate mass of solute/mass of solvent x 100

Why is diffusion through a liquid slower than diffusion through a gas

Because particles move much slower

- and are more closely packed so there is less space for particles to move

In diffusion experiment of ammonia and hydrochloride acid, why is the white ring further away from the ammonia

Because ammonia particles are lighter and so travel faster

Why does adding more water to potassium manganate make it paler

Because the particles are now more widely spread out

Why does diffusion happen quickly in gases

Because the particles have are more widely spread so have more space AND are able to move quicker

If the solute is white then why is the solution colorless

Because the particles break apart

- and spread out through the water

Why is dilution slow in liquids

Because the particles are more closely packed AND because they move slower

Explain how diffusion happens in liquids with the example of potassium manganate and water

Potassium manganate and water particles are moving randomly so their particles are able to slide over each other
Particles can therefore easily mix
Concentration of particles are now evenly spread

How do you know if a substance is aqueous or a liquid

Aqueous if a precipitate, water, or ions are involved

What is a precipitate

The insoluble solid that forms from a liquid solution

How can you obtain a pure dry sample of crystals from a solution (4)

1) heat to evaporate water
2) leave to crystallize
3) filter to remove access liquid
4) dry with kitchen paper

Why do crystals form when a hot saturated solution is cooled

Because of the temperature decrease, the solubility decreases

Describe what you should do as soon as you place the spots on the chromatogram

- Place paper in beaker, solvent level should be below - seal the container - wait until the solvent reaches the top of the paper

Why would you leave a solid in a warm place to dry

To increase the rate of evaporation

What do the glass rods in the fractionating column do?

Provides a large surface area which condenses the gases that rise

3 main Steps in fractional distillation if you have three liquids to separate

1) first liquid with lowest boiling point evaporates and condenses 2) other liquids may evaporate by chance but will condense back into flask 3) temperature will be altered for substance of the second lowest boiling point

If they ask you to draw the different dyes in a chromatography experiment , what must you include in your diagram

Labels

What separation method would you use to separate water FROM a solution of copper sulfate and water

Simple distillation | Because solvent form solute

Why would you mix sodium chloride and heat it when trying to dissolve

1) to dissolve sodium chloride | 2) More quickly

Name one reason that crystallization is better than evaportaion

Upon heating, Bunsen burner could cause the solute to thermally decompose in evaportion, But crystallization uses a water bath which is much more gentle

A student is making hydrated copper sulfate crystals 1)He first heats sulfuric acid 2)He then adds copper oxide to the sulfuric acid until the copper oxide is in excess 3)then he filters the mixture Explain why he filters the mixture in step three

To remove the excess copper oxide | remeber that the copper oxide will stick to the filter paper and the copper sulphate solution will pass through

A liquid solution of copper sulfate is cooled to form hydrated copper sulfate crystals. Explain why crystals form when the hot saturated solution is cooled (2)

1) solubility decreases in cooler temperatures | 2) so an ionic lattice is formed

After a student has placed the dots of food coloring on the chromatography paper, explain three more things she needs to do in order to complete the experiment

1) move paper into the solvent so that solvent level is slightly below the spots 2) place a lid on it and wait for the solvent level to reach the top of the paper 3) leave to dry

Explain how the diffusion of potassium manganate (VII) occurs with water

Crystals diffuse from high concentration to low concentration Because there are gaps between the particles, and because particles in a liquid are able to slide over each other So they can thus easily mix with each other

Give formula for RF value

Distance travelled by solute/ distance travelled by solvent

State the names of three experiments that can be used to show diffusion

Potassium magnate (VII) in water Ammonia gas and hydrogen chloride gas Bromine gas and air

In the ammonia and hydrogen chloride gas experiment to demonstrate diffusion, state the solution that each cotton wool is soaked in

Ammonium Hydrochloric acid

Explain the diffusion between bromine gas and air

Bromine gas is able to diffuse from high concentration to low concentration Because of the random movement of particles of a gas, and because there are large gaps between them

Give the equation for finding solubility

Solubility = (mass of solute/mass of solvent) x100

As temperature increases, Describe what happens to the solubility of a gas And what happens to the solubility of a solid

Solubility of a gas decreases Solubility of a solid increases

Explain the experiment to investigate the solubility at different temperatures

1)heat a boiling tube and add in excess solute to it until solution become saturated 2)allow it to cool to ensure that all the excess has sunk to the bottom 3)weigh an empty evaporating basin 4)add to it only the solution, making sure no solid is added to it 5)weigh the basin with the soltuion 6)heat until all the water has evaporated, and then weight just the absinthe and the dry crystals 7)reheat and resign, which is called heating to a constant mass to ensure that all the water has been evaporated 8)repeat for different temperatures 9)to find solubility, find the mass of solute dissolved and the solvent it took

During fractional distillation, what happens if some of the other liquids with high boiling points also start to evaporate whilst the ones with the lowest boiling point is already evaporating

Because the column is coolest near the top, Once they reach the top, These liquids with high boiling points will reach a temperature lower than their boiling point, so will begin to condense back into a liquid and will drop back down into the flask

Why does the RF value have no units

Because it’s a ratio

A substance has RF value of 0.8 Another has a Rf value of 0.2 Explain their solubilities

0.8 has RF Closer to 1 so more soluble 0.2 has RF closer to 0 so less soluble

In paper chromatography, state three things u mist do to ensure reliable results

Make sure pencil line is above solvent so that the inks don’t automatically get washed away Make sure u draw in pencil, because it’s insoluble so won’t dissolve in solvent Place a lid on it to stop it from evaporating

In paper chromatography, from the results, how do u know if a substance is pure or impure

Pure substance will produce only one spot Impure substances will produce more than one spot

Paper chromatography is used to separate….

Soluble mixtures

Miscible means

When two liquids can be mixed with each other

When temperature increases, why does solubility…, for a solid

Increase This is because the solvent molecules have more kinetic energy So can more efficiently break apart the solute molecules which are held together by intermolecular forces of attraction

What is rock salt made up of

Sand and salt
