My friend. Business subjects are where you memorise stuff.

With science you have to have a strong foundation, then you can answer any question.

Weak concept = fail = science-hater

Alright, I've got a Chemistry doubt here:

Explain why the formula for the compound formed when Sodium and Chlorine react is NaCl and not NaCl2

Note: this is not in the past papers, it's from my chemistry textbook.

Thanks in advance :)
Title: Re: IGCSE CHEMISTRY DOUBTS
Post by: Meticulous on June 01, 2010, 11:10:47 am
Because Na is a group one metal. When it ionizes, it loses one outer electron to become stable, thus forming Na+ .

In addition, when chlorine gains an electron to become stable, it gains one electron (from Na atom), forming Cl- .

Title: Re: IGCSE CHEMISTRY DOUBTS
Post by: username on June 01, 2010, 11:11:57 am
because na has valency of +1
so it can only give 1 electron
and cl has valency of -1 so it can only accept an electron
+1+(-1)=0
so...
NaCl
hope u undertand
cheers mate!!!

Na has a valency of +1 and Cl of -1

Na loses 1 atom nd Cl accepts 1.
so it NaCl

Mg loses 2  Cl accepts 1
MgCl2

habers process is done for commercial output of ammonia and there also comes a time for equilibruim in this reaction but the values r to get d highest yield of ammonia possible for commercial output.

Okay, I have a question.

May/June 2004, Paper 3, Question 4, (b)(ii)

Why the difference between the height of the precipitate between Iron (II) and Iron (III) salts?

OK, We know from the graph that 12cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide was needed to react with 4cm3 of aqueous iron(III) chloride.  Because they were all at 1.0 mol/dm3, we therefore realise that 1 mole of aqueous iron (III) chloride reacted with 3 moles of aqueous sodium hydroxide.  Therefore, the formula for the precipitate is Fe(OH)3.

For iron (II) chloride, we know the formula of the precipitate to be Fe(OH)2, and so for the same volume of aqueous iron (II) chloride - 4cm3, we know 8cm3 of sodium hydroxide was required.  Therefore, you would need to draw the maximum height of the precipitate when volume has reached 8cm3.

Hope this has helped!  ;D

We know C has Ar of 12 and H is 1.  So by using CnH2n:

12n + 2n = 168

So n = 12

So C12H24

Gosh, how many times do I have to say this.  Only joking, it's not you're fault for not knowing!  :D

Here are the answers, not mark scheme but they are perfectly acceptable.

the a) part?

Liquids take the shape of the container, they maintain their volume. The intermolecular forces in liquids are significant and therefore, they do not expand to occupy all the space available (as gases do). A given mass of liquid has a fixed volume. also molecules in liquid have less k.e as compared to that of gases.Particles in gases have very weak intermolecular forces and high kinetic energy, hence the particles move independent of each other and occupy the space available to them.

b)i) rate= time and volume. In other words, its the volume produced and the time taken.

ii) CO2 due to lower molecular mass. or less density

The equation you need to use is:

                      Volume of gas (in dm3)
Moles of gas = --------------------------
                                      24

Note to convert cm3 to dm3, divide quantity by 1000 (e.g. 20cm3/1000=0.02dm3)

This is the proper theory and equation behind my calculations below.

Here are the answers for 5) c) as requested:

i)   Moles of C4H6: 0.02/24=0.000833
     From equation, we know 2 moles of C4H6 reacts with 11 moles of O2
     Therefore, moles of O2: 0.000833*5.5=0.00458
     Therefore, volume of O2: 4.58*24*1000=110cm3

ii)  From equation, we know 2 moles of C4H6 produces 8 moles of CO2
     Therefore, moles of CO2: 0.000833*4=0.00333
     Therefore, volume of CO2: 0.00333*24*1000=80cm3

iii) From equation, we know 2 moles of C4H6 produces 6 moles of H2O
     Therefore, moles of H2O: 0.000833*3=0.0025
     Therefore, volume of H2O: 0.0025*24*1000=60
     Therefore, total volume of gases is simply volume of CO2 + volume of H2O:
     80+60=140cm3

     Alternatively, 8+6=14, so 2 moles of C4H6 produces 14 moles of products
     Therefore, moles of products: 0.000833*7=0.00583
     Therefore, volume of products: 0.00583*24*1000=140cm3

For part d), you use this formula:

             Mass
Moles = ------
               Mr

d)  From the above equation, 1 mole of butyne forms 3 moles of water
     Number of moles of butyne reacted: 9/54=0.167
     Number of moles of water formed: 0.167*3=0.5
     Mass of water formed: 0.5*(2+16)=9g

I hope this has helped. :D

You would not need to incorporate and OH groups, because they only ask for molecular formula.  If they ask for the structual formula, then yes, but that would be complicated.

I'll give you an example:

Butane:  Molecular formula - C4H10; Structual formula - CH3CH2CH2CH3.

but there are OH groups also so i thought that it could be alcohol but its not like that right ???????????????
and also same q paper q 7 biii.......................pls

Depends on the q, here its vitamin C. Usually all vitamins contain -OH groups. Only for the structural formula you need to specify -OH and not the molecular formula. ;)


For Q.7 b)iii) There are 'n' number of types of chlorination. This depends on how much chlorine you use and which hydrocarbon you use.

When chlorination occurs it replaces one hydrogen atom from the hydrocarbon and forms HCl

E.g. Chlorination of methane::

    H                                                  H
    |                                                   |  
H- C - H   +    Cl2 ------>  H- C - Cl  +  HCl
    |                                                   |
    H                                                  H

CH4  + Cl2  ----> CH3Cl  +  HCl
Product:: Chloromethane (methyl chloride)
 

Similarly,
CH3Cl + Cl2  ----> CH2Cl2 + HCl

Product:: Dichloro methane (methylene chloride)


CH2Cl2 + Cl2 ----> CHCl3  +  HCl

Product:: Trichloro methane (Chloroform)


CH3Cl3 +  Cl2 ----> CCl4  +  HCl

Product:: Tetrachloro methane (Carbon tetrachloride/Pylene)


I think you only need to know the names in bold. For your question, choose any of the following reaction BUT using butane and chlorine
Eg. C4H11Cl  + Cl2 ----> C4H10Cl  +  HCl

OR to be safe give acc. to the ques

CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-Cl  +  Cl2 ----> CH3-CH2-CH2-CHCL2  +  HCl
  
   H H H  H                             H  H  H Cl
   | |  |   |                             |  |  |  |
H-C-C-C-C-Cl   + Cl-Cl---->  H-C- C-C-C-Cl       +  H-Cl
   |  |  |  |                             |  |  |  |
   H  H H  H                            H  H  H H

Don't understand anything.. pls. ask.. Just under the concept of chlorination ;) they may ask any other alkane next time
Draw the structures yourself you'll understand better

One more q

do we have cyclic hydrocarbons i guess one q had come abt properties

can somebody give info abt topics related to this..........

They are not in our syllabus, from what I know they are just another method of representing hydrocarbons in a circular way < I am NOT sure!

~VIN1094~, apparantly that's the trap CIE wanted people to make.  In the question, it does say a different equation for a substitution reaction between butane and chlorine, and not an additional chlorination of 1-chlorobutane.

So the product formed in my example is 2-chlorobutane as supposed to the 1-chlorobutane in the example.

7 b) Mg + 2CH3COOH ? (CH3COO)2Mg + H2

Mg - 3/24 = 1/8

CH3COOH - 12/60 = 1/5

1 : 2 mole ratio

Mg is in excess as 1/8 * 2 = 1/4, which is greater than 1/5.

Compare the mole ratio of CH3COOH to hydrogen, 2:1.

1/10 * 24 = 2.4

OK, We know from the graph that 12cm3 of aqueous sodium hydroxide was needed to react with 4cm3 of aqueous iron(III) chloride.  Because they were all at 1.0 mol/dm3, we therefore realise that 1 mole of aqueous iron (III) chloride reacted with 3 moles of aqueous sodium hydroxide.  Therefore, the formula for the precipitate is Fe(OH)3.

For iron (II) chloride, we know the formula of the precipitate to be Fe(OH)2, and so for the same volume of aqueous iron (II) chloride - 4cm3, we know 8cm3 of sodium hydroxide was required.  Therefore, you would need to draw the maximum height of the precipitate when volume has reached 8cm3.

Hope this has helped!  ;D

That was b)ii).  Graph would level off at 8cm3.  Explained in the previous post.

Just say:

What specifically did you not get, I can try and elaborate.

And for iii) The graph would rise to maximum height, then decrease to zero again.  Why?  Well because aluminium hydroxide (the product formed) dissolves in excess.  Think of the test for aluminium cation:  add aqueous sodium hydroxide, soluble in excess giving a colourless solution.  Same applies here, when a small volume was added, there was precipitate, as you add more and more, it goes colourless, therefore no precipitate.  The common mistake is to think of reactivity.

I hope that clears the issue somewhat.  :D

Post by: Vin on June 04, 2010, 06:57:30 pm
Elaboration::

1) First reaction, FeCl3 + 3 NaOH ---> 3NaCl  +  Fe(OH)3

so the molar ratio is 1:3 <deduce this ratio by 1)

Second reaction, FeCl2 + 2 NaOH ---> 2NaCl  +  Fe(OH)2

molar ratio 1:2

so 4 cm3 of FeCl2 reacted fully with 8 cm3 of NaOH

Ivo pls. check!
Title: Re: IGCSE CHEMISTRY DOUBTS
Post by: Ivo on June 04, 2010, 07:08:28 pm
YES, WHY?:)

Well, as I explained before.  The sodium hydroxide is in excess, so the maximum needed to fully react with the iron(III) chloride is 12cm3.  So, simplify the ratio down to 12:4 = 3:1/  So 3 moles of sodium hydroxide reacted with 1 mole of iron(III) chloride.  So the balanced equation is:

3NaOH + FeCl3 -> 3NaCl + Fe(OH)3

OK, now if iron (II) chloride:

2NaOH + FeCl2 -> 2NaCl + Fe(OH)2

So 2 moles instead of 3 was required.  So if 3 moles was 12cm3, then 1 mole is 4cm3, then 2 moles must be 8cm3.  Done!  :)

and u stii havent given ans to 4biii

s04

4) b) ii):

Well, as I explained before.  The sodium hydroxide is in excess, so the maximum needed to fully react with the iron(III) chloride is 12cm3.  So, simplify the ratio down to 12:4 = 3:1/  So 3 moles of sodium hydroxide reacted with 1 mole of iron(III) chloride.  So the balanced equation is:

3NaOH + FeCl3 -> 3NaCl + Fe(OH)3

OK, now if iron (II) chloride:

2NaOH + FeCl2 -> 2NaCl + Fe(OH)2

So 2 moles instead of 3 was required.  So if 3 moles was 12cm3, then 1 mole is 4cm3, then 2 moles must be 8cm3.  Done!  :)

4) b) iii):

What specifically did you not get, I can try and elaborate.

And for iii) The graph would rise to maximum height, then decrease to zero again.  Why?  Well because aluminium hydroxide (the product formed) dissolves in excess.  Think of the test for aluminium cation:  add aqueous sodium hydroxide, soluble in excess giving a colourless solution.  Same applies here, when a small volume was added, there was precipitate, as you add more and more, it goes colourless, therefore no precipitate.  The common mistake is to think of reactivity.

I hope that clears the issue somewhat.  :D

What don't you get for Q7) b).  I thought i made it quite clear.  What don't you get?

Any more?

4) b) i)  It would increase because silver is less reactive than tin, so now the difference in reactivity between zinc and silver is greater, therefore the voltage would increase.

By the way the more reactive metal is a better reudcing agent becuase it has a greater tendency to form positive ions, whereas the relatively weaker metal is a better oxidising agent as it is the best at accepting electrons.

Title: Re: IGCSE CHEMISTRY DOUBTS
Post by: Vin on June 05, 2010, 10:43:20 pm

7) b) i) Moles of Mg = 3/24 = 0.125
           Moles of CH3COOH = 12/60 = 0.200
           Using ratios given in the equation, to compare, divide 0.2/2 = 0.100 moles of CH3COOH.          
           Therefore, magnesium is in excess.

        ii) The one not in excess: ie. 0.1




Hey Ivo, can you tell me in detail how did you get the part in bold^^. I'm totally confused with this chapter. Also do you have any rules/notes based on this chapter. Your help is much appreciated! :)

OK, we know from the equation given, the mole ratio: 1 mole of magnesium reacted with 2 moles of ethanoic acid.

The amounts of substance actually used was: moles of magnesium = 0.125, moles of ethanoic acid = 0.2.  But from above, you see the ratio 1:2.  So here, we either divide 0.2/2=0.1 or multiply 0.125 by 2 = 0.25.

Either way, you'll find that the magnesium is in excess and the ethanoic acid the limiting reagent.  Has this helped?

For the second part, we are also using the mole ratio from the equation where 2 moles of ethanoic acid gives 1 mole of hydrogen.  We can't use the calculations for magnesium as this was in excess, so we use the limiting reagent (ie. ethanoic acid), so 0.2/2=0.1.

And no sorry, don't have any notes.  I guess, as long as you can handle this question, I think you'll be fine.  I don't think it gets any harder than this.

Yep, I guess the top tip for working out limiting reagents and which is in excess is first to convert the substances to moles.  Then for comparison, change to 1:1 ratio.

Potassium manganate (VII) is an oxidising agent, purple compound. The oxidation state of manganese is +VII. BUt it is much more stable in oxi. state +II. So it is strongly driven to gain electrons and reduce its oxi. state to +II.
So it takes electrons from other substances, in the presence of a little acid. It itself is reduced causing a colour change..

                     (reduction)
MnO4-         ---------->           Mn2+
manganate(VII)ion                  manganese ion(II)
purple                                    colourless

This means KMnO4 can be used to test for a reducing agent.

About Potassium Iodide, a reducing agent.

H2O2  +  2KI   +  H2SO4  ----->  I2  K2SO4  +  2H2O

H2O2 here is loses O2, therefore reduced. KI helps this to happen also it itself is oxidised to iodine which brings a colour change::

Question:

Products at the electrodes. What's the difference for a dilute aqueous electrolyte and concentrated aqueous electrolyte? Take sodium chloride for example.

variant one

Ok remember when concentrated NaCl is electrolyzed:
First the solution contains Na+ Cl- and H+ and OH- (from water). The positive inos go to the cathode, and negative ions to the anode.

At the CATHODE
the H+ ions accept electrons, since it is less reactive than Na (always elements which is more reactive 'likes' to stay in the ionic form)
2H+  +  2e-  ---> H2

At the ANODE
the Cl- ions give up the electrons more readily than the OH- ions do.
2Cl-  -->  Cl2  +  2e-

what left in the solution is Na+ and OH- which combine to form NaOH


jus understand the concept ..

OK,zinc is welded over iron (in case of a ship). It is more reactive so it gives up e- to form +ve ions more readily. So the zinc dissolves..

2Zn ----> 2Zn2+  +  4e-  (oxidation)

The electrons flow to the iron, which passes them on..

O2  +  2H2O  +  4e-  --->  4OH-

Adding the incomplete reactions

2Zn  +  O2  +  H2O ----> 2Zn(OH)2

Zinc forms positive ions more easily than iron (more reactive), basically it gets oxidized faster in a reaction with oxygen from air to form zinc oxide. When oxidized, it loses electrons (always) to the metal it protects, so iron in this case has a constant supply of electrons, therefore isn`t in a danger of losing them. The same is with cathodic protection in which electricity connected to the metal supplies it with electrons... Basically preventing the metal to form positive ions, aka, give electrons away... I hope this explanation is sufficient  ;)

OK, I get a part of your ques. Is this what you are looking for?..

Zn + 2HCl  --->  ZnCl2  +  H2

Conc. for acid doubled, but same amount of Zn used reaction faster but results in same volume of H2 gas.

Doubling the amount of both reactants results in doubling of product (gas).

Surface area and Temperature doesn't have anything to do with the yield, they only influenced the rate of reaction. Posting a q. as an example would do good as I still cannot properly get your question. Usually in the ques it is mentioned right, when the conc of reactants in increased/decreased.

OK here, look at the reaction. Its the decomp. of H2O2. Doubling the conc. of H2O2 increases the amount of oxygen in H2O2 by twice. Hence when

it reacts with H2O2 decomposes there is now twice the number of O2 produced.. got it?


Also when amount of catalyst is halved the reaction is slower. As you know a catalyst never takes part in a reaction so it really doesn't affect the amount of O2 produced.

OK, I kinda got it.  So for this example, increasing the concentration means increasing the amount of hydrogen peroxide dissolved in the water, so if there is double the the amount of hydrogen peroxide dissolved, then double volume of oxygen produced and in faster time. 

However, would this be the same for excess.  Say sodium hydroxide reacted with hydrochloric acid.  Hydrochloric acid was used as the excess, would doubling the concentration of acid also double the amount of sodium chloride?  If not, why?

And is it true that increasing the volume of something decreases the rate?

I guess you are mixing up two concepts. If you add excess HCl ALL the NaOH would be reacted BUT this doesn't mean that it always doubles the amount of NaCl. This depends on how much NaCl is present.

Yes, increasing the vol. decreases the rate as you've added more molecules to be reacted and this would take more time.

Anyway I'm off now its 4:30 am!

1st, there was a qs in stoichiometry and the answer was that there were 0.03 moles of O2 molecules then they asked how many moles of oxygen atoms will there be. the answer is 0.06. i dont get why :/ isnt it supposed to be the opposite? like you half it instead of twice it? :/

and second question, in CO2 are the C and the O bonded by a double bond? cuz if theres only a single bond then there are only gonna be 6 e's around C

Where was the question? I need it, other wise wont be able to solve..

Yes, double bond..
