2. Now work out the Mr of the
equation incorporating the
balances (ignoring the big
numbers)
3. Now times them by BIG numbers
4. Now Divide opposite
of what question is
asking (in question)
by what you got in
the calculation.
5. Now times this by the
number after the -> to get
the answer.
Ionic Bonding.
When a metal reacts with a non metal.
Metal atom looses electrons
and becomes POSITIVE
Non-metal gains
electrons and
becomes NEGATIVE
The oppositely charged electrons attract.
Covalent Bonding
When two non-metals
combine they share
electrons
They do this to obtain a full outer shell.
Oxygen atoms share
two electrons with
another oxygen to make
a double bond.
Very Strong
Cannot dissolve in water
Weak intermolecular forces = easily broken down
Giant Covalent Lattices
Diamond
Tetraheidroid
Hardest natural substance
Non conductive
4 Covalent bonds = very durable
Graphite
Soft, used as a lubricant
Conductive
No covalent bonds,
they can slide over each
other
Silicone dioxide
Very Hard
Used as sandpaper
Non Conductive
Metallic Properties
Alloys = STRONGER
Alloys are the mixture of two or
more meals.
In pure metal, all atop are the
same size and therefore are very
soft meaning the atoms can slide.
Alloys disrupt the regular lattice due to the range of sizes.
Imagine the inside of an atom as circles,
there will be bigger and
smaller circles.
If you push this it will be harder than all the same size.
Gas Chromatography
Allows a mixture of compounds
to be separated, by their weight
1. Sample dissolved
in solvent an then
injected into an end
of the column
2. Unreactive gas
(nitrogen) carries
same through
column
3. Diff. substances
travel through
column at
different speeds,
and thus become
separated
4. Separeted
substances leave the
column, one after
another. as they leave ,
they are detected by a
detector
Long glass tube, packed with
solid powered material, fitted
into an oven
Rates of Reaction
ROR = Amount of product formed
DIVIDED BY
Time taken
Can be increased by:
Increasing the temp.
Concentration
Preassure
Catylist
Smaller particles
Endothermic
Heat enters and gets cooler.
The energy is usually
transferred as heat
energy, causing the
reaction mixture and
its surroundings to
get colder.
Examples
The thermal
decomposition of
calcium carbonate in
a flash furnace
The reaction
between ethnic
acid and sodium
carbonate
Electrolysis
Exothermic
Heat leaves and gets hotter
The energy is usually
transferred as heat energy,
causing the reaction
mixture and its
surroundings to become
hotter.
Examples
Burning
Neutralisation Reactions between acids and alkalis
The reaction
between water
and calcium odide
Electrolysis
When an ionic substance is
melted or dissolved in water,
the ions are free to move
around within the liquid or
solution
The positively charged
ions move towards the
negative electrode and are
reduced.
The negatively charged ions
move toward the positive
electrode and are oxidised
The
electrolysis
of sodium
chloride
solution
produces
hydrogen,
sodium
hydroxide
and
chlorine
Thermosoftening
Soften when heated and can be shaped
when hot. The shape will then harden
when it is cooled, but can be reshaped
when heated again. poly(ethene) is
thermosoftening polymer, tangled
polymer chains can uncoil and slide
past each other, making it a flexible
material
Thermosetting
Once moulded, they do not soften
when heated and they cannot be
reshaped. Vulcanised rubber is a
thermoset used to make tyres. Its
polymer chains are joined together by
cross-links, so they cannot slide past
each other easily
Collision Theory
The reactants must collide to form a chemical
reaction.Increasing the temperature provides
particles with more energy so they vibrate more
resulting in more collisions
To cause a reaction, the particles must collide
with sufficient energy to break bonds. This
minimum energy is called activation energy
Catylists
Chemicals that are used to
speed up relations in a
reaction but do not get used
up in the process.
They lower the activation
energy, so that more collisions
occur at a faster rate, without
having to build up a higher
minimum energy.
