Benefits of recycling?
Plastic is heated then moulded into new shape, polymer chains in plastic have weak intermolecular forces that allow polymer chains to become mobile when heated.
1 of 29
Graphite.
Weak intermolecular forces so layers can slide.
2 of 29
Why does graphite conduct electricity?
Has delocalised electrons which carry current. Diamond has no delocalised electrons.
3 of 29
What is Co2?
Simple molecule. Has weak intermolecular forces.
4 of 29
Where is the mixture separated in gas chromatography?
The column.
5 of 29
Where is the relative molecular mass measure in gas chromatography?
Mass spectrometer.
6 of 29
What is thermosoftening?
Chains with weak intermolecular forces that are weak and easily broken when heated.
7 of 29
Why is the chromatography line drawn in pencil?
Because ink dissolves in the solvent.
8 of 29
What does mass spectroscopy do?
Identifies solvents.
9 of 29
What does the molecular ion peak do?
Gives the relative molecular mass of the molecule.
10 of 29
What is the diamond giant structure?
Strong bonds between carbon. Covalent bonds. Each carbon forms four bonds.
11 of 29
What does the mass spectrometer do?
give the relative molecular mass of a substance.
12 of 29
Why can this question not be answered by science alone?
Based on opinion. Cannot be determind by experiment.
13 of 29
What is silicon dioxide?
Covalent giant structure. High melting point, lots of energy needed to break bonds.
14 of 29
Why is there not a 100% yield?
It is a reversible reaction.
15 of 29
What is ammonium nitrate?
A fertiliser.
16 of 29
How do you work out one mole of a substance?
Mass divided by relative formula mass.
17 of 29
Why do thermosoftening polymers melt?
There are no cross links.
18 of 29
Why does mixture rise when baked?
Gas is produced.
19 of 29
What does cryolite do in electrolysis?
Lowers the melting point so less energy is needed to melt it.
20 of 29
What does hydroxide do?
Makes waste alkaline.
21 of 29
What is the reaction between aqueous ammonia solution and an acid?
Neutralisation reaction.
22 of 29
What produces ammonium nitrate?
Nitric acid.
23 of 29
What are the properties of a giant structure?
Electrostatic forces, oppositely charged ions, high melting points.
24 of 29
Gold is the only catalyst for some reactions. Why?
Catalysts are not used up, improves speed of reaction.
25 of 29
When can't current flow?
When the ions can't move.
26 of 29
Why are alloys harder than pure metals?
Alloys are different so layers are distorted so don't slide.
27 of 29
Why can metals conduct electricity?
They have delocalised electrons that can move in the metal and carry the current.
28 of 29
Properties of simple molecular substances?
Low boiling point, weak intermolecular forces, less energy needed.
