Because it
contains dissolved
compounds that
react with the soap
Forms Scum
Soapless detergents dont react
witht he hard water to form scum
Contain
Mg 2+
ions or
Ca 2+
ions
Temporary Hard
water - when
heated - reacts
and forms scale
Deposited in kettles etc.
Calcium ions are
good for teeth &
bones and
reduce the risk
of Heart Disease
Removing Hardness
Made soft when
Mg 2+ ions & Ca 2+
ions are removed
Tempory hard
water made soft
when heated as
the Mg 2+ ions &
Ca 2+ ions react
Can also be removed
using sodium carbonate
that reacts with the
calcium ions to form
calcium carbonate
Or
removed
using an
Ion
exchange
column,
that swaps
sodium
ions for Mg
2+ ions &
Ca 2+ ions
Water treatment
The stages of
treatment - Not
shown in the
pictrure;
Aluminium
sulfate is added
to clump small
bits of sediment

Periodic Table
Early Periodic Table
They arranged
the elements in
atomic weight
rather than in
proton numbers
1863 -
Newlands
proposed his
Law of Octaves
It stated there
would be similar
properties every
eigth element
Didnt work
after the 20
element -
Calcium
Mendeleev - 1869
He left gaps
for
undiscovered
elements
This left
elements
with
similar
elements
When
missing
elements
werer
discovered,
Mendeleev's
predictions
were
confirmed
Modern periodic Table
Now aranged in proton number
Groups have similar properties as
they have the same number of
electreons on the outer shell
Alkali Metals
Group 1
1 electron
in outer
shell
Soft Solids at
room temp.
Low Density
React with
Halogens to form
salts that are
white/colourless
Transition Metals
Middle of table
Malleable & Ductile
Strong and dense
Often used
as alloys for
building
Halogens
Non - Metals & in group 7
7 electrons
in outer shell
Energy & Fuel
Energy Released
when oxidation
occurs e.g. when
food reacts with
water
Use a calorimeter to Measure this
Work out the amount of energy
transferred using the equation
Q = m c *T
Energy Transferred = mass of substance X Specific heat capacity X Temp. change
E.G ~ Q=m c *T
Q = 200g X 4.2 X 30
Q = 25200 J
= 25.2 KJ
* represents delta
When we work out
the energy transfer
in solutions we:
Assume it has the same
properties of water: 1cm3 = 1g
& it has a specific heat
capacity of 4.2
This stays the
same even if a solid
is added
Energy Level Diagrams
An energy level diagram of
an exothermic reaction
It is exothermic
as the energy of
the products is
less than the
reactants
Bond Energies
It is the energy required
to make or break a bond
Energy
Change is
'Bonds Made'
- 'Bonds
Broken'
Fuel Issues
Fossil fuels
are running
out - new
fuels need to
be developed
Hydrogen -
Can be used in
fuels cells or
burnt in a
combustion
engine
Ads - burns easily, release a
large amount of energy per
gram, produces no C02 when
burnt only water
Dis - the supply, storage of
the gas, safety problems
Fuel cell vehicles need
to match normal
vehicles in;
performance,
convienience & costs
Analysis and synthesis
Positve Ions
Flame Test
Dip a clean flame test loop in the sample solution.
Hold the flame test loop at the edge of a Bunsen
burner flame. Observe the changed colour of the
flame, and decide which metal it indicates. Clean
the loop in acid and rinse with water, then repeat
steps 1 to 3 with a new sample
Most of the Metal hydoxides are
insolouble - Some have colurs
and so we can identify them
from that
The reaction is the ion +
sodium hydroxide
When excess NaOH is
added to AlOH the AlOH
precipitate dissolves
Negative Ions
Carbonate Ions
Add HCl to
substances if
there is a gas
produced and it
turns limewater
milky it contains
carbonate ions
Halide Ions
Add Nitric acid,
then silver nitrate
Chloride ion
- white
precipitate
Bromide
ions = Cream
Precipitate
Iodide ions
= Yellow
precipitate
Sulphate ions
Add dilute HCl, the barium
chloride. If white precipitate
forms, sulphate ion present.
Titrations
When an Acid and
alkali react, a
neutralisation reaction
occurs
The volumes of
acid & alkali that
react exactly can
be found using
titration
1. Use a pipette to
add the correct
volume of Alkaline to
a conical flask
Add a few drops
of indicator to
the alkali
Fill a burette with
acid. Remove any
bubbles by opening
the stopcock
Record the start
measuremnt on the
burette & slowly add
acid to the solution and
swirl the conical flask.
When the solution changes
colour, close the stopcock and
record the reading on the burette.
Work out the difference.
