#1
Front (Question)

3 signs of a PHYSICAL change

Back (Answer)

• Creates no new substances • Are usually easy to reverse • Absorb or release small ammounts of energy

#2
Front (Question)

3 signs of a CHEMICAL change

Back (Answer)

• Creates new substances • Usually difficult to reverse • Absorb or release large amounts of energy

#3
Front (Question)

Chemical test for water

Back (Answer)

Anhydrous Copper(II) Sulfate turns from white to blue

#4
Front (Question)

Physical test for water

Back (Answer)

Pure water will boil at 100c

#5
Front (Question)

Define an element

Back (Answer)

A substance containing one type of atom only

#6
Front (Question)

Typical properties of metals

Back (Answer)

• High MP/BP • Electrical conductors • Malleable • Shiny

#7
Front (Question)

Typical properties of non-metals

Back (Answer)

• Low MP/BP • Electrical insulators • Brittle • Dull

#8
Front (Question)

Diatomic Molecules

Back (Answer)

Nitrogen, Oxygen, Hydrogen + Halogens

#9
Front (Question)

Define a compound

Back (Answer)

A substance containing more than one type of atom, chemically bonded together

#10
Front (Question)

Define a mixture

Back (Answer)

A substance containing more than one type of atom not chemically bonded together

#11
Front (Question)

How does the ammonium chloride tube illustrate diffusion

Back (Answer)

• Ammonium chloride forms as a white smoke towards the hydrogen chloride end • The hydrogen chloride molecules are heavier so diffuse slower compared to ammonia • Heating the tube will speed up the reaction but not change the results

#12
Front (Question)

Define solute

Back (Answer)

The substance which is going to be dissolved

#13
Front (Question)

Define solvent

Back (Answer)

The liquid which is going to do the dissolving

#14
Front (Question)

Define solution

Back (Answer)

The resulting mixture of a solute dissolved in a solvent

#15
Front (Question)

Define saturated

Back (Answer)

A solution in which no more solute can be dissolved

#16
Front (Question)

Define suspension

Back (Answer)

A solid floating in a liquid because it cannot dissolve

#17
Front (Question)

Define soluble

Back (Answer)

A substance which can be dissolved

#18
Front (Question)

Define insoluble

Back (Answer)

A substance which cannot be dissolved

#19
Front (Question)

How is solubility measured

Back (Answer)

• g / 100g solvent • You can use it as a ratio and scale it up and down

#20
Front (Question)

How do solubility curves work

Back (Answer)

• Measures solubility compared to temperature • Below the line = soluble • On the line = saturated • Above line = insoluble

#21
Front (Question)

How do you carry out a chormatography experiment

Back (Answer)

• Draw a line near the bottom of the paper in pencil - as it won’t dissolve in the solvent • Add spots of different dyes at regular intervals • Place paper in beaker of solvent - with solvent below pencil line, so inks don’t dissolve into solvent • Place lid on beaker - to stop solvent evaporating • Allow solvent to move up paper until it is just below the top • Take paper out and mark solvent front • Allow paper to dry

#22
Front (Question)

How do you carry out paper chromatography

Back (Answer)

• Draw a base line in pencil at the bottom of the chromatography paper - so it doesn’t dissolve in solvent • Add spots of dye on line in different inks • Place paper in beaker of solvent - ensure below solvent line so it doesn’t dissolve into solvent • Place lid on beaker - to prevent solvent evaporating • Allow solvent to move up paper, until it is near the top • Take the paper out and mark solvent front • Allow paper to dry

#23
Front (Question)

What happens to soluble dyes in chromatography

Back (Answer)

They will move further up the paper

#24
Front (Question)

What happens to soluble dyes in chromatography

Back (Answer)

They will move further up the paper
