Well what group is S in? Group 6. They usually form 2- ions when reacted with metals. And it says iron (II) sulfide which means that the oxidation number for iron is +2. So it's 2 to -2 already and the "charge" balances so it's just FeS

Use your knowledge of oxidation states - Iron(II)Sulfide: We're aware that Iron, in this instance, will have an oxidation state of +2, we're also aware of the fact that Sulfur will always have an oxidation state of -2 (Group 6), so in order to equate the oxidation state value to 0 we'll require one atom of Iron and one atom of Sulfur, thus creating Iron Sulfide: FeS!


Ahhhhhh I get it now thank you !!!!!!!

hey I'm a bit confused on this question- would be grateful for any help :smile: so I get that the green colour disappears when the NaOH is added because it reacts with either acid on the right and the equlibrium has to shift to the right to restore the acid. My question is why doesn't the NaOH react with the chlorine? In this case the equilibrium would shift the other way ....
sorry if this is confusing!
if anyone could help me with this I'd be really grateful - it's not like the other Hess' cycleschem.png

The way I teach this to my students is to get them to set up the Hess cycle and then say that

anti-clockwise arrows = clockwise arrows

So;

+ 963 + ΔH = -432 + (-75)

ΔH = -1470

for ocr f322

what do you need to know for these points on spec

- describe benefits of developing chemical processes with high atom economy in terms of fewer waste products

- explain a reaction may have a high % yield but a low atom economy

thanks

For spec,recognise which bonds vibrate,like OH in water,C=O in co2 and CH in methane.
Learn how to interprete what functional groups are in a compound from the spectrum (IR)
Learn about the fragments (mass spec) which ones can come from a compound (use molar mass) and.that they are unique.
Learn about applications of both.

Chemical processes with high atom economy means less waste products are produced,so it is.more sustainable, more desired product, cheaper as less money spent disposing of waste products and separating them from the desired product.

High percentage yield means most of the reactants are converted into the products, but it can have. Alow atom economy as most of the products could be the waste product and not the desired product.
Hope this helps :smile:.

Wow, my over board studying of green chemistry might actually pay off. I'm going to attempt this.

*ahem*
Initiation:
CCL2F2 ----> CClF2 + Cl•

Propagation:
Cl• + O3 ----> ClO• + O2

ClO• + O3 ----> 2O2 + Cl•

Termination:
They'll probably accept any two free radicals combining.

ClO• + Cl• ----> Cl2O

It's a serious issue because the free radical regenerates and continues to break down ozone into oxygen depleting the amount of ozone we have. Edit: Due to the depletion, more UV rays enter and causes skin cancer and other bad things.
So overall we get something like:
2O3 --> 3O2

Note: still kind of iffy about the propagation steps so please do check them with a mark scheme or something.

Thankyou for replying :smile: What do you mean when you say "anti-clockwise arrows = clockwise arrows" and with the arrow along the bottom for the reaction equation, is that a + or - sign, that's where I'm confused :s-smilie:

S goes from 6 to 2 (it is reduced) - hope this helps :h:

See below.
Hi I'm doing OCR A Chemistry. How is everyone feeling for the F322 paper?

Does it mention whether it's in acidic medium or alkaline medium?

In acidic medium:

SO42- + 4H+ + 2e- ------> SO2 + 2H2O
How do you tell if a molecule is polar or not?

I did actually see a mark scheme that specifically said to reject phenolphthalein if you spelt it wrong lol

yeah usually they accept recognisable phonetic spelling but once they felt like rejecting lol
