A solution in which no more solute can dissolve at a given temperature.
Predict the state and colour of astantine at room temperature
Black solid
How can you predict the states and colours of the halogens?
The halogens get darker in colour as you go down the group - fluorine and chlorine are gases, bromine is a liquid and iodine and astantine are solids.
Predict the state and colour of fluorine?
Gas, pale yellow
Predict the state and colour of chlorine?
Gas, green
Predict the state and colour of bromine?
State: Liquid Color: Red
Predict the state and colour of iodine?
Solid, purple
If you were purifying nickel by electrolysis, what would the anode and cathode be made of?
Anode: impure nickel Cathode: pure nickel
What is a reducing agent?
A reducing agent is a substance that donates electrons and causes another substance to be reduced, while being oxidised itself.
What is an oxidising agent?
A substance that causes oxidation by accepting electrons from another substance, however the oxdising substance itself is reduced.
What is the symbol reaction for the Haber process?
N2 + 3H2 <=> 2NH3 (all gases)
Describe the Haber process
The Haber process is the process in which ammonia is manufactured from hydrogen and nitrogen
What are the sources of nitrogen and hydrogen in the Haber process?
Nitrogen: Air Hydrogen: Natural gas or methane
What are the conditions needed for the Haber process?
Pressure of 200atm, temp of 450 degrees C and an iron catalyst.
What are the solubility rules of salts?
Soluble salts can be made by reacting acids with soluble or insolbule reactants.
How are insoluble salts made?
Precipitation reactions
How are soluble salts made?
By reacting an acid with a base - titration
What is titration?
Titration is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a substance in a solution by reacting it with a known concentration of another substance.
