| How can you work out the number of moles of substance? | |
| How does a GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) work? (DESCRIBE!!!) | By allowing different substances, carried by a gas, to travel through a column packed with solid material at different speeds so that they separate. Each substance will produce a separate peak on an output known as a gas chromatograph. The number of peaks on this output shows the number of compounds present in the original sample. The position of the peaks on the output graph indicates the retention time, i.e. the time taken to pass through the gas chromatograph. If the output of the gas chromatography column is linked to a mass spectrometer then this can also be used to identify the substances leaving the column. |
| What can the mass spectrometer give? How is this given? | The relative molecular mass (Mr) of each substance separated in the column. The molecular mass is given my the molecular ion peak on the spectrum. |
| How can the percentage yield be calculated? | |
| How are reversible reactions represented? | (This example is using the Haber process, which is part of Chemistry C3) |
| Give some advantages of using instrumental methods to detect and identify elements... | - Instrumental methods are accurate - Sensitive and rapid - Useful when dealing with small quantities |
| Give some reasons why it may not always be possible to calculate the amount of a product formed in a reaction... | - The reaction may be reversible. - Some of the product may be lost when it's separated from the reaction mixture. - Some of the reactants may react in ways different to the expected reaction. |
| What is the activation energy? | The minimum amount of energy required to cause a reaction. |
| RATES OF REACTION: How does temperature affect the rate of reaction? | WARMER = FASTER COLDER = SLOWER In a cold reaction mixture, the particles move quite slowly, they collide less often, with less energy, so fewer collisions take place, and vice versa. |
| RATES OF REACTION: How does concentration affect the rate of reaction? | LOW CONCENTRATION = SLOWER HIGH CONCENTRATION = FASTER In a low concentration, the particles spread out. They collide less often, so there are fewer successful collisions, and vice versa. |
| RATES OF REACTION: What is the concentration of a solution measured in? | Moles per cubic decimetre (Mol/dm3) |
| RATES OF REACTION: How does pressure affect the rate of reaction? | An increase in pressure will increase the rate of reaction. This works in a similar way to concentration. |
| RATES OF REACTION: How does surface area affect the rate of reaction? | LARGER SURFACE AREA = FASTER SMALLER SURFACE AREA = SLOWER Large pieces of a solid material have a small surface area in relation to their volume. Fewer particles are exposed and available for collisions. |
| RATES OF REACTION: How does the use of a catalyst affect the rate of reaction? | It reduces the amount of energy needed for a successful collision. Speeds up the reaction. A catalyst works by providing a surface for the molecules to attach to, which increases their chances of bumping into each other. |

| What is produced when an acid is reacted with an alkaline hydroxide solution? | A neutral salt solution and water. |
| What is a precipitate? | A precipitate is a product in solid state, that forms in a chemical reaction in a solution. It is called a precipitate because in most cases it accumulates at the bottom of the containter where the reaction is taking place. |
