TOPIC; QUALITATIVE ANALYSIS

A very good morning to you all and hope you are working hard,especially those of you registed for GCE exams.Today, we will look at the above topic whivh is also called SALT ANALYSIS.It talks about the stuff a chemical compound is made up of i.e the ions present in a given compounds.Basically there are two types of ions present in a sample -ANION and CATION.

Qualitative ananlysis questions shall be based on tests for gases like O2,CO2,NH3,SO2,H2S, and NO2 and tests for acid radicals[anions] like NO3-,Cl-,SO32-,and CO32-

and also metallic radicals[cations]like Ca2+,Cu2+,Pb2+,Fe2+,Fe3+,NH4+,Zn2+ and Al3+.Test for unsaturation,functional groups like OH,COOH,etc from organic compounds.Also test for sugar,starch,protiens,fats and oils.

PRELIMINARY TESTS

This involves observation of the salts for physical properties.

1.COLOUR

Some substances have characteristics colurs which can give a useful guide to their identification,as shown below.

COLOUR OF SOLUTION SUBSTANCE. INFERENCE.

Pale green Iron[ii] or anhydrous copper[ii]salt.

Yellow Hydrated Iron[iii]

Blue Hydrated copper[ii]

Bright green Hytrated Nickel[ii]

Black colour Oxide or Sulphide

White or colourless Salt of Ca,Pb,Na,Zn,Al, or NH3

Note that;A colourless salt that smells of ammonia may contain an ammonium salt.

2. FLAME TESTS

This gives a quick preliminary test for metallic radicals.

OBSERVATION OF FLAME COLOUR. INFERENCE

Persistent yellow/Golden yellow Sodium

Lilac Potassium

Bluish-green Copper

Apple green Barium

Crimson-red Strontium

Brick-red Calcium

Green flashes Zinc

Yellow sparks Iron

Bluish Lead

The colour of the flame is an indication of the metallic ion present.

3. ACTION OF HEAT ON DRY SOLID

When the solid sample is heated,thermal decomposition can occur.This may lead to evolution of a gas or gases.The type of gas can lead to identification of the acid radical e.g trioxocarbonate[iv] can decompose thermally to produce carbon[iv]oxide.

ASSIGHMENT

In a tabular form,indicate odour,colour,reaction with litmus,other reactions for the following gases;H2S,HCL,NO2,NH3,NO,SO2,O2,H2,Cl2,CO2.

Topic:  Preparation  and  collection of gases

   Good morning everyone ,hope your weekend was good. Today we will look at the above topic, before then ,make sure you check the corrections to previous lessons .God bless you.

     In the preparation of gasses, various method are employed and it depends on two major factors.

[i]Vapour  density of the gas.

[ii]Solubility of the gas in water.

Gases which  are lighter than air[less dense  air]are collected by upward  delivery of gas also known as

Downward displacement of air .Gases in this category are :Hydrogen[H] and ammonia[NH 3].

On the other hand ,gases which are denser[heavier] than  air are collected by  downward delivery of gas[upward displacement of air].Examples are HCL,NO2,CO2,SO2,C l2,H2S, SO3.

However ,gases with vapour densites close to that of air[vapour density of air is 14.4],these gases can

Neither displace air upward nor  downward. Such gases are collected over water ,if their  solubilitiies   in

Water  are negligible,  that is slightly  soluble or  insoluble in water. Examples of gases in  this  category 

Are O2,  N2O, NO, CO, N2 and PH3.

Assignment:

  1. List gases that can be collected by upward delivery of gases.

LESSON 4

DATE: 09-06-20

TOPIC: CONTINUATION OF RATE OF REACTION

Good morning my students and how are you today? Hope you are doing great. The corrections for lesson 1&2 should be checked properly, ensure that you check those areas that you missed and always show your workings in calculation. For lesson 2 correction (Hydrogen) the number 2 question, some of you did not indicate how the series increases or decreases. So please take note of that. In the next lesson I shall give you the scheme of work for third term.

TAKE NOTE: ENSURE THAT ALL NOTES GIVEN MUST BE COPIED INTO YOUR CHEMISTRY NOTEBOOK AND NOTES WILL BE CHECKED WHEN WE FINALLY RESUME.

Today we will discus other terms in reaction rate.

Listen to the voice note below

Activation energy

This is minimum energy that is required for a chemical reaction to occur. It is equivalent to the energy barrier that must be overcome before a chemical reaction can take place. The activation energy is reduced or lowered by the use of positive catalyst. Once the activation energy is achieved, a complex of high energy content than the reactant or product called the activation content is formed.

Activated complex

This is a complex of high energy content than the reactant or products in the graphical representation of energy changes during a chemical reaction. It is unstable intermediate particle that is formed when a reactant gradually proceeds to the products during a chemical reaction.

ENERGY PROFILE DIAGRAM OR REACTION PROFILE DIAGRAM

An energy profile diagram or a reaction profile is a graphical representation of the energy changed that occurs during a chemical reaction. It shows the gradual steps in which the reactant proceeds to form an intermediate particle called activated complex and the the product. An energy profile diagram can be drawn for endothermic and exothermic reactions with or without catalyst.

[c]Surface

area—–The higher the surface area,the higher the rate  of reaction.The surface area of a solid substance is increased by  grinding  it into  a powdery form.For  example ,powdered  form of marble[CaCO3] react  faster  with dilute  HCl to give  effervescence  than  when it is chips or lump form.

Catalyst—–Positive catalyst increase the rate  of chemical reaction  by lowering the activation energy while negative catalyst   decreases the rate of chemical reaction  by raising the activation energy.

TOPIC; RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTION

The rate of a chemical reaction  is the amount[in grams or moles] of  the reactants converted to products or the amount  [in grams or moles] of the product formed per unit time.It can also be defined as the change in the  concentration  of reactants  used or product formed per unit time.

Mathematically,

Rate of reaction =amount or quantity of  reactant used/time

LESSON TWO

DATE:20/05/20

Hello students, hope you are fine and keeping safe as well.

TOPIC:HYDROGEN

Hydrogen is the lightest gas ,it is prepared in the laboratory by the action of water,steam or dilute mineral acids on metals above copper in the activity series.

Industrally ,hydrogen can be produced from water gas, methane or by eletrolytic methods.

The activity series of metals gives the order of reactivity of metals,with the most reactive metal at the top and the least reactive at the bottom.Metals above Hydrogen in the series displace it from dilute acids ,while metals below hydrogen cannot do so .

Hydrogen is neutral to litmus,burns air in but does not support combustion,is a strong reducing agent,undergoes direct combination with active metals to form ionic hydrides ,reacts with oxygen to form oxides ,reacts with halogens to form halides ,and reduces the metallic oxides to their metals .

With a lighted wooden splinter,gives a pop sound and burns with a pale blue flame.This is a test for hydrogen .

Hydrogen has three isotopes- protium,deuterium,and tritium.

Hydrides of alkali and alkali -earth metals are ionic and reac with water to form hydroxides and liberate hydrogen .Hydrides of non-metals are mainly covalent.

ASSIGNMENT

[1]Under what conditions do the following metals react with water? Na,Ca,Mg,Fe,Cu.

How would you arrange the metals listed in order of their relative reactivities?.

LESSON ONE

Good day students,hope you have been coping with the present situation? Keep staying safe.

On this platform, we shall have revision and questions on previous term’s work.

Topic: Calculations based on empirical, molecular and structural formulae.

  1. Empirical formular: this is the simplest formular of a compound that tells us the component elements in a molecule of a compound and also, the mole ratio of the elements e.g CH2 .
  2. Molecular formular: This gives us all the information obtainable from empirical formular and also gives us the exact number of mole of each of the elements present in the compound . e.g ethyne, molecular formular is C2H2 while for benzene, it is C6H6.
  3. Structural formular: This formular gives us all the information that can be obtained from both empirical and molecular formular and further tells us how the atoms in the molecule of the compound are linked together i.e arranged. For example the empirical formular of ethane is CH3 molecular formular is C2H6.

Class work

  1. A compound contains the following 40% Ca, 12%C and 48% O. Find its empirical formular ( Ca = 40%, C = 12, O = 16.
