[Al(OH)6]- and [Al(OH)6]3- are both correct.


Do you mean [Al(OH)4]-?
Thanks so much!

Do we have to learn the redox titration equations as well? For example the one with MnO4 and Fe.
Does anyone know if it is worth learning the equations on page 237 regarding the carbonate ion? I did learn them before but forgotten them, I've just not seen them in exam questions.

hi guys anyone fancy explaining an answer to question 2b on the specimen paper

using a born haber cycle, a value of -905kJ/mol was determined for the lattice enthalpy of silver chloride. a value for the lattice enthalpy of silver chloride using the ionic model was -833kJ/mol
Explain what a scientist would be able to deduce from a comparison of these values?

hi help needed!

just wondering how this question is calculated.

A chemical company has a waste tank of volume 25 000 dm
3
. The tank is full of
phosphoric acid (H3PO4) solution formed by adding some unwanted phosphorus(V)
oxide to water in the tank.
A 25.0 cm
3
sample of this solution required 21.2 cm
3
of 0.500 mol dm
–3
sodium
hydroxide solution for complete reaction.
Calculate the mass, in kg, of phosphorus(V) oxide that must have been added to the
water in the waste tank. jan 2010 paper

There was a carbonate one with a 3+ transition metal in Jan 2011
Do we need to know the reactions of period 3 elements with Chlorine? :/

do you like it??
Ive just been looking at a few pages on the cgp website and its soo clear and concise :smile:
I want it but the exam is tomorrow :frown:

The Ag-Cl bond is slightly covalent due to the high difference in electronegativity. The lone pair of electrons are pulled away from the Cl and towards the Ag, thus why the enthalpy change is higher (less negative). The born-haber cycle assumes everything is an ion and there is no covalent.

Write an equation for NaOH and H3PO4
3NaOH + H3PO4 ---> Na3PO4 + H320

Calculate the number of moles of NaOH and therefore moles of H3PO4
21.2 x 0.5 / 1000 = 0.0106 moles of NaOH
It reacts 3 : 1 so divide by 3
3.53 x10^-3 moles of H3PO4 in 25 cm^3

Work out the number of moles in 25 dm^3
3.53 x10^-3 x 25000000 = 3533.3 moles of h3PO4

Work out the number of moles of P4010
P4010 + 6H20 ---> 4H3PO4
Reacts 1 : 4 so divide by 4
Therefore 883.3 moles of P4O10

m = n x Mr
m = 883.3 x 284
m = 2508572 g

m = 250.9 kg

ohh its really good :biggrin: hmm I really liked it for mod4, it really helped me learn the stuff because NT was just too confusing,..Anything specific you want? I can copy out some stuff for you if you want? :smile:

No need to know it.


It's Yellow. I have a list of colours off the Chief Examiner since they're obviosly colourblind.. but it's on the list?

Assuming atoms are perfect spheres, the lower value for the lattice enthalpy shows that silver chloride is not perfectly ionic and shows covalent character. The lattice is partially polarised.

Hope this helps.
Can someone pleaseeeeeeeee help me with q8c in the jan10 paper?? :smile:
