  • C4- Chemical Changes
    • Reactions of Metals
      • Metal Oxides
        • Metals react with oxygen to produce metal oxides
        • Most metals are found with oxygen underground
          • More reactive a metal is, the more likely it will react
          • Gold stays pure while iron doesn't
        • Examples:
          • Iron Oxide
          • Aluminion Oxide
          • Copper Oxide
        • Redox
          • Oxidation
            • When a metal reacts with oxygen
            • Magnesium is oxidised to make magnesium oxide
            • Also the loss of electrons
            • The gain of electrons
            • Mg has lost 2 electrons, so it has been oxidised
          • Reduction
            • The loss of oxygen
            • Also the gain of electons
              • In the equation Cl has gained electrons
                • It has been reduced
          • OILRIG
            • Oxidation is loss
            • Reduction is gain
            • In terms of electrons
          • REDuction and OXidation occurs at the same time
      • The Reactivity Series
        • Potassium, Sodium, Lithium, Calcium, Magnesium, Carbon,            Zinc,                 Iron,        Hydrogen, Copper,      Gold
        • Between K and Mg
          • All metals are combined with other elements
          • Extracted by electrolysis
        • The reactivity of a metal depends on its ability to form positive ions
        • Between Zn and Cu
          • Carbon reduction used to extract metals
            • The ore is reduced as oxygen is removed
            • Carbon gains oxygen so it is oxidised
            • This is because carbon can only take away oxygen from metals less reactive than carbon
        • Displacement Reactions
          • A more reactive metal will displace a less reactive metal from its compound
          • The metal ion will gain ions and reduce
          • The metal atom will lose electrons and oxidise
          • They are examples of Redox Reactions
      • Ionic equations only show the particles that reacts and the products they form
      • Iron Extraction
        • Haematite- Iron Ore
        • Coke- C (solid)
        • Limestone- CaCO
        • Molten iron falls to bottom as it is dense
        • Waste product is molten ****
          • Not as dense as iron so floats on top
    • Reaction of Acids
      • Acids and Metals
        • Metal Oxides and Metal Hydroxides
          • These are both bases
          • The salt that is produced depends on the acid and the metal ion in the oxide or hydroxide
        • Metal Carbonates
          • These are bases
          • Acids and metal carbonates produce carbon dioxide
      • Acids and Bases
        • pH scale
          • The lower the pH, the more acidic it is
          • The higher the pH, the more alkaline it is
          • A neutral solution has a pH 7
          • Means potential for hydrogen
          • pH = -log[H ]
          • pH is the measure of concentration of H  ions in a solution
            • In a strong, monoprotic acid, the [H ]= concentration of the solution
          • A strong acid can be dilute (with water)
          • A weak acid can be concentration (with water)
        • An alkali is a soluble base
        • Acids and bases neutralise each other
        • Acids forms H  ions in water
          • They ionise in water
        • Alkalis form OH  ions in water
      • Acids
        • Acids produce protons in water
        • Strong acids fully ionises in water
          • All acids particles dissociates to release H
        • Weak acids partially ionises to release H ions in water
          • It is a reversible reaction
          • It creates an equilibrium
      • Titrations
        • Used to find out concentration
        • Used to find out exactly how much alkali is needed to neutralise a quantity of acid
          • It can be the other way
        • Burette
          • Add KNOWN concentration
          • These measure different volumes and let you add the solution drop by drop
        • Phenolphthalein Indicator
          • Bright pink in alkali, colourless in acid
          • Add drops of know solution to conical flask until colour change of at least 10 second
        • Conical Flask
          • Contains indicator and alkali/acid- unknown solution
            • Opposite to what is inside Burette
        • Accurate Volumetric Pipette
          • Unknown solution to conical flask
          • 25cm
        • Between  0.05 of all readings
        • Do a rough titre first
          • Then aim for 3-4 readings
        • Concordant Results
          • Find results with 0.10 of each other
          • This is used to find the concentration
        • Making a standard solution
          • Weigh 1 mole of a solid
          • Transfer to a beaker and dissolve in pure water
          • Transfer into 1dm   volumetric flask
          • Add washings
          • Top up to line
          • You have made a 1 mol/dm standard solution
      • Soluble Salts
        • Salts can be made from acids by reacting with solid insoluble substances
          • Metals, metal oxides, metal hydroxides or metal carbonates
        • The solid is added to the acid until no more reacts and the excess solid is filtered off to produce a solution of the salt
    • Electrolysis
      • Means separating using electricity
      • Very expenisve
        • High temperatures
        • Electricity costs
      • Electrolyte
        • A liquid or solution that can conduct electricity
      • Electrode
        • A solid that can conduct electricity
      • The ionic compound must be molten or in solution so that the ions can move
      • Electrolysis of Molten Ionic Compounds
        • Molten ionic compounds can be electrolysed becasue:
          • Ions can move freely
          • They can conduct electricity
        • Positive metal ions are reduced to the element at the cathode
        • Negative non-metal ions are oxidised to the element at the anode
      • General Process
        • Positive ions move towards the cathode    (-ve electrode)
          • They will gain electrons
          • They are reduced
        • Negative ions move towards the anode (+ve electrode
          • They will lose electrons
          • They are oxidised
        • Electrodes made from graphite due to high temperatures.
        • As ions gain or lose electrons, they form atoms
          • They will be uncharged elements
          • They become discharged from the electroyle
        • The flow of charge through the electrolytes as ions travel to the electrodes
        • Half Equations:
          • Cathode is to push (give electrons)
          • Anode is to pull (take electrons)
      • Extracting Metals
        • Aluminium is extracted from ore bauxite- aluminium oxide
          • Due to high m.p. it is mixed with cryolite to lower it
        • If a metal is too reactive to be reduced with carbon or reacts with it, electrolysis is used
        • Positive Al   ions attract to cathode and reduce to Al.
          • They will sink to the bottom
        • Negative O will oxidised, and combine to form O
        • Equations:
      • Aqueous Solutions
        • The increase of ions allows the electrodes to have a 'choice' of what to oxidise or reduce
          • There will be hydrogen ions (H ) and hydroxide ions (OH )
        • At Cathode
          • If Copper, Silver or Gold?
          • If not Hydrogen forms
          • Every thing else is too reactive
        • At Anode
          • Is it a halogen (Group 7)
          • If not Oxygen forms
