3.6-8 chemistry

?
what is a reversible reaction?
a reaction that can go both forwards and backwards, or both ways, or in both directions
1 of 30
what happens in a reversible reaction?
the products of the reaction can react to make the original reactants
2 of 30
eg of reversible reaction?
thermal decomposition of ammonium chloride
3 of 30
what dioes ammonium chloride form when heated?
decomposes to form ammonia and hydrogen chloride.
4 of 30
what happens when it cools?
ammonia and hydrogen chloride react to form ammonium chloride
5 of 30
what are food additives?
substances added to food to improve its qualities.
6 of 30
what may food additives be?
natural products; synthetic chemicals
7 of 30
foods can be checked by what?
chemical analysis
8 of 30
why?
to ensure only safe permitted additives have been used
9 of 30
what do these types of methods include?
paper chromatography and mass chromatogrophy
10 of 30
what can paper chromotography be used for?
analysing artificial colours in foods
11 of 30
describe paper chromatography
a spot of colour is but onto the paper and solvent is allowed to move through the paper
12 of 30
what do different distances depend on?
the solubilty of the colours
13 of 30
what do modern instrumental techniques provide?
fast, accurate and sensitive ways of analysing chemical substances
14 of 30
what can seperate compounds in a mixture
gas chromatography
15 of 30
how can be identified once seperated?
using mass spectrometer
16 of 30
what does it find?
relative molecular mass of a compound from its molecular ion peak
17 of 30
what are samples needed to be used for analysis?
mixtures that need to be seperated
18 of 30
why do they need to be seperated
so that compunds can be identfied
19 of 30
how would one go about doing this?
use gas chromatography
20 of 30
what is mixture carried by in gas chromatography?
gas
21 of 30
what does it go through?
a long column packed with solid particles
22 of 30
what do the individual compounds do?
travel at different speeds through the column and come out at different times
23 of 30
what does recording the amount of substance leaving the column against time show?
the number of compounds in a mixture and their retention time
24 of 30
how does the retention time help?
can be compared with results of other known compunds to help identify the compounds in a mixture
25 of 30
what can the output from gas chromatography be directly linked to?
mass spectrometer
26 of 30
what does it give?
further data, can be used quickly to identify the individual compounds
27 of 30
for an individual compound the peak with the largest mass coresponds to..
an ion with just one electron removed
28 of 30
what is the peak called?
molecular ion peak
29 of 30
how is it represented on a mass spectrum
furthest to the right
