:sl:
I created this specially for us Chemistry ppl. Anyway, i follow OCR, and any1 has practical exam coming up soon?
Well,this thread is just for discussion of chemistry. Help with chem, etc
I have a go, any1 know this:
A titration was carried out using an 0.10 moldm-3 solution of an unknown acid, HxA to determine the value of ‘x’ in the acid formula. 25 cm3 of 0.15 moldm-3 sodium hydrogen carbonate solution was found to require an average titre of 12.35 cm3 of acid to just neutralise it. What is the value of x?
Well, the answer is this:
1. Amount of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.75 x 10-3 mol,
ratio is 1:1, so amount H+ = 3.75 x 10-3 mol
H+ is 0.3 moldm-3, so x=3
any idea how they got that? :zip:

Assalamu'Alaykum
Molar concentration of the acid was 0.1M, yet it react as if it was 0.3M - the only possible explanation is that it contains three protons per particle.
hope that clears it up for u

Lol...I'm doing A2 Chemistry, I think its quite hard, probably because I really dont like it. Anyway, I'm so glad I've got my CW out of the way... I just thought I'd express my relief!!! :D

ok Bismillaah...
Molar concentration of acid was given - it was 0.1M
Such an acid should be able to neutralize some amount of hydrogen carbonate - but it neutralizes more. So it must have more than one proton reacting.

Salam,
I will be doing A2 when college begins again.
If anyone needs AS help, you are more than welcome to ask.:)

Salam,
Could anyone explain homolytic fission and the star theory.
I have forgotten it. I have read through my textbook but there is too much.

salam,
According to my Nuffield Chem. book, summarised in two sentences:
Homolytic fission is when UV (Ultraviolet) light is used / absorbed by a molecule such as chlorine (Cl-Cl ), to 'split' it into two atoms (Cl and Cl), each with an odd number of electrons on the outer shell.
This is different to the formation of ions following the gain and loss of electron/s by each atom, because in this case, a covalent bond is broken, with each atom in the bond taking one electron, to form two 'free-radicals'.
Please ask if I can clarify further.
Also, when you say 'star theory', are you talking about the life cycle of stars?
If so, is that not covered in the Biology syllabus (not Chemistry) ?

Correct
If so, is that not covered in the Biology syllabus (not Chemistry) ?I have not yet come across it in the Biology book but it is in the chemistry book

JazakAllah for your help so far.

salam,
well, this is basically what happens when a chlorine molecule absorbs UV light:
Attachment 2076
do you see how the covalent bond in the middle (left-hand side) is broken and the molecule is split into two identical free-radicals (right-hand side) ?
It's called 'homolytic fission' because 'homo-' is from the Ancient Greek meaning 'same' and 'fission' because the molecule splits.

Isn't it physics? ^o)

yes, I was wrong. According to my book, it's Physics, under the topic - 'Forces', but it's probably Chemistry as well, since it's in sr. ameeratul layl's chemistry-book.

the following short summary of the life-cycle of a star is from a GCSE book, but still may have relevance to A-level:

SubhanAllah, that is great Br. Ameen. (I take you are a brother, for some reason). It is so consice and to the point. Just what I need.
Sister Arwa, the star life cycle has not been mentioned in my AS Physics lessons. But, it sure has been mentioned in Chemistry. Do you study Physics?

as-salamu'alaikum,
to all students of A-Level Chemistry: if you are able to purchase only ONE book for your course (other than a syllabus-specific book), then I think the
'Complete A-Z Chemistry - Handbook' would be best, because it is like a 'dictionary' of all A-level Chemistry terms and concepts.
So for example, to look up
'homolytic fission', you would simply skip to the letter 'H' category in the book, and look up the 'definition' / explanation:
The book can be purchased at the following link:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/0...725321-1523844
wsalam

H+ is 0.3 moldm-3, so x=3
any idea how they got that? :zip:
Concentration = mole /Volume
HxA
Conc = 0.10 mol dm-3
NaOH
Conc = 0.15mol dm3
Volume = 25ml =0.025 L
H+ (Acid)
Conc= ?
Volume= 12.35ml = 0.01235
No of moles H+ = 0.025 x 0.15 = 3.75 x 10-3 moles
Conc of H+ = 3.75 x 10-3 / 0.01235 = 0.30 mol dm-3
HxA concentration is 0.1 mol dm-3 but the acid in the titration gives concentration of 0.3 mo dm3 which is 3 times stronger. x Must be 3.
Hope that helps to clarify it further.
