well im doin all three modules tomo and havent started revisin yet, can i conquer AS chem in one night? only time will tell..
no you cant u fool, i just hope your in as level and can retake next year! you will realise then how silly u were to do that!

Oughta say it's only infinite because it can be fermented from renewable sugar.

Indeed.

Q: Give all the equations involved in the extraction of iron by carbon reduction in the blast furnace, including the removal of impurities.
C + O2 --> CO2
C + CO2 --> 2CO
Fe2O3 + 3CO --> 2Fe + 3CO2
2Fe2O3 + 3C --> 4Fe + 3CO2
CaCO3 --> CaO + CO2
CaO + SiO2 --> CaSiO3
slag

Mg + S -->MgS
2C + O2 -->2CO
P4 + 5O2 --> P4O10

define the standard enthalpy of formation and the mean bond enthalpy

Standard enthalpy of formation: The enthalpy change when one mole of a substance is formed from its elements in their standard states.

Mean bond enthalpy: The amount of energy required to break a particular bond averaged out over a range of similar compounds.

Erm ... What is Le Chatelier's Principle? What are the (approx) conditions for the Haber process and why?

Btw, in my notes I haven't got 2Fe2O3 + 3C --> 4Fe + 3CO2, I've got Fe2O3 + 3C --> 2Fe + 3CO instead.
you have to put for the formation all elements in standard states, and UNDER STANDARD CONDITIONS for the full marks if it says standard.

Le chateliers=- A system will respond to a change in condition by shifting the equilibrium to oppose the change. Lowish temperature, highish pressure, (both are compromises between rate and costs) 2000kpa and 700ishK
sorry your equations right just checked! oh god id learned a wrong one by some reason!!!

Define elecronegativity.

The ability of an atom to withdraw electron density from a covalent bond.

Define first ionisation energy. Give the equations for the first 3 ionisation energies of Mg.

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelp...... what is the relative mass of an electron?????
Reply 52
The enthalpy change when one mole of electrons is removed from one mole of gaseous atoms to form one mole of gaseous unipositive cations.
Mg(g) -> Mg+(g) + e
Mg+(g) -> Mg2+ + e
Mg2+(g) -> Mg3+ + e

Describe what observations you would make when Sodium Iodide is added to Sulphuric Acid.

1/1837 there are lots of variations on that number... thats just the one ive learnt

HI - misty fumes
H2S - colourless, bad egg smelling gas
I2 - purple vapour/black solid

(? not too sure)

Describe, briefly, how a mass spectrometre works.

lol exactly my next question!
Ionisation-high energy electrons fired from electron gun
-knocks out an electron forming positive ions

Acceleration-by electric field
-accelerated towards negatively charged plates
-focused into a beam

Deflection-by magnetic field
-depends on m/z ratio
-smaller m/z value the greater the deflection

Detection-ions hit a plate and induces a current
-graph plotted m/z against abundancies

erumm next question... how does fractional distillation work

erumm next question... how does fractional distillation work


- crude oil vapourised
- passed into fractionating column
- tower cooler at top than bottom ie. temperature gradient
- hydrocarbons seperated according to boiling point
- only shortest chain alkanes (lowest Mr, weakest v.d.W forces) reach top
- rest condense in trays at different levels up the tower and drawn off
- heavier fractions seperated under vacuum distillation (not to sure about that bit!)

glocose (in aq. solution) converted by anaerobic respiration of yeast into Carbon dioxide and c2h5oh. Enzyme in yeast which does this.... temp no more than 40degrees c because yeast denatures... conc of ethanol can't get too high either or yeast dies
