2 of 33

Halogen + Metal = ?

Halide

3 of 33

Sodium + Chlorine = ?

Sodium Chloride

4 of 33

What is displacement?

When a more reactive halogen replaces a less reactive halide

5 of 33

Displacement example: Fluorine + Sodium chloride =

Sodium fluoride + chlorine

6 of 33

What ions make water hard?

Calcium (Ca2+) AND Magnesium (Mg2+)

7 of 33

How is scum formed?

When hard water reacts with soap

8 of 33

Can soft water lather easily with soap?

Yes

9 of 33

What is scum?

When calciumor magnesium ions from hard water and stearate ions from soap form an insoluble precipate 

10 of 33

What are the two types of hard water?

Temporary and permenant

11 of 33

How can temporary hard water be softened?

By heating it as it will decompose

12 of 33

Describe how an ion exchange column can soften per

The exchange column has a resin that contains sodium or hydrogen ions.

Once the hard water passes through the resin, the sodium/hydrogen ions replace the calcium/magnesium ions in the hard water.

13 of 33

Why is chlorine added to hard water?

To kill harmful bacteria/disinfect 

14 of 33

Why is a catalyst used?

To lower the activation energy

15 of 33

What is simple calorimetry?

A method used to measure neergy given out in a combustion reaction

16 of 33

What did Dmitri Mendeleev do to improve the period

  • He left gaps for any undiscovered elements
  • Recalculated atomic masses
  • Lined up elements with similar properties
17 of 33

Name some properties of alkali earth metals (Group

  • Very reactive (Stored under oil)
  • One outer shell electron
  • Low density
18 of 33

Explain why the reactivity increases as you go dow

The outer most shell is further away from the positively charged nucleus.

This means the outer most electron has a weaker force and therefore can easily be lost.

19 of 33

Explain why the reactivity decreases as you go dow

The number of shells increases

This means there is a weaker attraction between the outer most electron and the nucleus

It becomes less easy to gain an electron

20 of 33

Why is titration used?

To find out how much acid is needed to neutralise an alkali

21 of 33

What indicator would we use for a strong acid + a

Methyl orange

22 of 33

What indicator would we use for a weak acid + a st

Phenolphthalein

23 of 33

Why do we carry out flame tests?

To test for metal ions

24 of 33

What colour flame is potassium?

Lilac

25 of 33

What are the first three members of a homologous s

Methanol

Ethanol

Propanol

26 of 33

What do alcohols react with to produce hydrogen?

Sodium

27 of 33

What can ethanol be oxidised to?

Ethanoic acid

28 of 33

What's the functional group of the carboxylic acid

-COOH

29 of 33

Carboxylic acids dissolve in water to produce...?

acidic solutions

30 of 33

How can we tell if an acid is weak?

If it doesn't ionise completely when dissolved in water

31 of 33

What is the functional group for esters?

-COO-

32 of 33

Ethanol + Ethanoic acid =

Ethyl Etahnoate
