CHAPTER 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Name a reaction that is reversible? | CuSo4.5H2O - CuSO4 + 5H2O |
| Name a reaction that is not a reversible reaction? | Combustion of alkanes |
| Heating pink cobalt chloride crystals forms a blue solid and steam. The blue solid turns pink when water is added. Describe the pink cobalt chloride and the reaction? | Pink cobalt chloride hydrate and the action is reversible |
| Name a reaction that will result in a decrease in pH? | Adding citric acid to sodium hydrogen carbonate solution |
| When blue copper sulfate is heated, a white solid and water are formed. The white solid turns blue and gives out heat when water is added to it. Describe the blue copper sulfate and the reactions? | The blue copper sulfate hydrate and the reaction can be reversed |
| One of the instructions for an experiment reads as follows. Quickly add 50cm³ of acid. What is the best piece of apparatus is use? | A measuring cylinder |
| What is a burette? | The burette measures the volume of liquid added in a titration. |
| A student measures the rate of two reactions. One reaction there is a change in mass of the reactants during the reaction. Second reaction there is a change in temperature during the reaction. Which piece of apparatus would be essential in both? | A Clock |
| A student was provided with only a thermometer, a stopwatch and a beaker. What could the student measure? | 25 degrees Celsius and 45 seconds |
| A student carries out an experiment to find how fast 3 cm pieces of magnesium ribbon dissolve in 10cm³ samples of sulfuric acid at different temperatures. Which piece of apparatus does the student not need? | Balance |
