#1
Front (Question)

Name a non metal that is liquid at room temperature

Back (Answer)

bromine (Br₂)

#2
Front (Question)

Name a metal that is liquid at room temperature

Back (Answer)

mercury (Hg)

#3
Front (Question)

What colour change occurs when copper (II) carbonate is heated

Back (Answer)

green to black

#4
Front (Question)

What are the three acids

Back (Answer)

*hydrochloric acid. *sulfuric acid. *nitric acid.

#5
Front (Question)

What is the chemical formula for ammonia

Back (Answer)

NH₃

#6
Front (Question)

What colour is methyl orange in acid and alkali

Back (Answer)

*red in acid. *yellow in alkali.

#7
Front (Question)

What colour is phenolphthalein in acid and alkali

Back (Answer)

*clear in acid. *pink in alkali.

#8
Front (Question)

State why the formation of oxygen is an oxidation reaction

Back (Answer)

*oxidation is loss of electrons. *The OH⁻ ion loses electrons.

#9
Front (Question)

How would you know that an ester has formed

Back (Answer)

sweet fruity smell

#10
Front (Question)

How do you know how to name esters

Back (Answer)

*the alcohol gives the -yl part of the name. *The carboxylic acid gives the -anoate part of the name. *E.g ethanoic acid + methanol → methyl ethanoate.

#11
Front (Question)

What is the general formula for alkanes

Back (Answer)

CₙH₂ₙ₊₂

#12
Front (Question)

What is the general formula for alkenes

Back (Answer)

CₙH₂ₙ

#13
Front (Question)

What is the general formula for carboxylic acids

Back (Answer)

CₙH₂ₙO₂

#14
Front (Question)

What is the general formula for alcohols

Back (Answer)

CₙH₂ₙ₊₁OH

#15
Front (Question)

Which metals do we test for order of reactivity by displacement reactions and why

Back (Answer)

metals that are lower in the reactivity series/unreactive because they don’t react with acids or water.

#16
Front (Question)

What is the displacement experiment used to find the order of reactivity of unreactive metals

Back (Answer)

metal + metal salt solution.

#17
Front (Question)

How do you test for the reactivity of unreactive metals when doing the metal + metal salt solution experiment

Back (Answer)

*A metal is added to a solution containing metal ions and salt ions. *If the metal displaces the metal ion, it is the more reactive one and a new salt and solid metal are formed. *If no displacement occurs, the metal that was added is less reactive.

#18
Front (Question)

Explain why OH⁻ is a proton acceptor in acid + alkali reactions

Back (Answer)

*H⁺ is a proton. *The OH⁻ ion accepts the proton (H⁺) from the acid to form water (H₂O).

#19
Front (Question)

What reaction is the H⁺ ion the proton donor in

Back (Answer)

H⁺ ions are proton donors in neutralisation reaction between acids and: bases, alkalis and carbonates.

#20
Front (Question)

Why is H⁺ a proton donor in acid reactions

Back (Answer)

H⁺ is a proton, it transfers to another substance during the reaction.

#21
Front (Question)

What is the method for making an insoluble salt

Back (Answer)

*mix two soluble salts in water in separate test tubes. *Pour the contents of the two test tubes into a beaker where a precipitate forms. *Filter the mixture, taking the residue. *Wash the solid with distilled water. *Perform drying (without a bunsen burner/ only oven and paper towels).

#22
Front (Question)

What is the method used to make a soluble salt using a base

Back (Answer)

*heat acid in a water bath. *Add base powder in excess. *Mix to ensure acid and base are fully reacted. *Filter solution to remove excess. *Perform crystallisation on the filtrate.

#23
Front (Question)

What is the method used to make a soluble salt using an alkali

Back (Answer)

*perform a titration with the acid, alkali and indicator to find the exact amount of alkali to neutralise the acid. *Perform neutralisation with the same volume of acid and alkali but without the indicator. *Perform crystallisation on the salt and water solution.

#24
Front (Question)

What is the process of crystallisation

Back (Answer)

*take solution and gently heat it over a bunsen burner until crystals begin to form. *Remove from the bunsen burner and leave the solution to cool and crystallise. *Once crystals form, filter the solution and leave in a hot, dry oven. *Remove and pat dry with paper towels.
