    Are the winkler reagents Manganese sulfate and potassium iodide or manganese sulfate and sulfuric acid?

    Manganese sulfate and alkaline potassium iodide :)

    Cheers, wrote them both down in my book and had them both crossed out!

    oooh lads i like the look of 2009 q3 if i were an examiner id be asking that again

    Also you guys would be idiots (not saying you are yet :P) if you go into the exam not knowing:
    Mn+7 = purple
    Mn+4 = brown
    Mn+2 = colourless

    You add H2SO4 to provide protons to enure complete redution of Mn+7 to Mn+2 NOT Mn+4
    Mn+4 is in the BOD expriment its the brown percipitate...
    Mn+2 is a catalyst (autocatalysis!)

    We add conc H2SO4 to get rid of the Brown ppt in the experiment and liberate iodine right?

    Should be my best exam so not that worried about this, have a feeling experiments are going to be pretty hard seeing as last years were just beautiful in all fairness! Have a feeling anion testing is going to make a sneaky appearance, once the soap experiment stays away should be ok.

    Anion tests scare me that needs to stay away!

    Ok heres 2 out of the way:

    Test for a chloride ion:
    Princess chloride is trapped in an aqueous solution...
    Along come sliver knight (silver nitrate) to rescue her
    They then try escape on his white horse percipitate...
    But the evil queen dilute ammoniam returns! and they dissappear and drown :(

    Ionisation Energy:
    The energy required to remove the most loosely bound electron from a neutral atom in its gaseous state.

    Ionisation energies....
    -Increase across the period:
    -Due to the decrease in atomic radius (See above)
    -Increase in atomic charge (more protons)
    -Decrease down the period:
    -Due to increasing atomic radius.
    -Screening effect of inner electrons!

    You haven't accounted for the interruption of the increase across groups 1&2 and 5&6 because of the half filled sublevels increased stability.

    Sulfate and Sulfite:
    Sulfate and sulfite are twin brothers walking in the woods...
    They come across a bear (Barium chloride) and "poop" themselves (white percipitate)
    Then sulfite remembers the Hyrogen Courage Liquid (HCl) in back pocket...
    He shares it with his brother...
    However Sulfite disappears and runs like the wind (ppt goes)
    His brother doesnt seem to gain any courage and stands there frozen forever (ppt stays!)

    If only there was a story for them all!

    So as a last minute study attempt, what question 3 experiment should I revise?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭MarieCurie22


    Phosphate:
    Goes canary yellow! Ammonium Molybdate sounds to me like an exoctic bird so it must have something to do with canaries!
    Cannaries fly but the acid we want is in the ground in fertilizer (occasionally) so it must be nitric acid!

    I'm sorry...what?!

    A quick look over:
    Anions (see above) and flame tests
    Rates of rxn (aLL)
    equilirbrium and
    those dodgy water ones! like chlorine in h20 (NB hypochlorous acid!!!!)

    What are the conditions necessary for a dust explosion? :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,827 ✭✭✭Prodigious


    Dust!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 204 ✭✭MarieCurie22


    What are the conditions necessary for a dust explosion? :eek:

    Easy peasy calm!!!
    -Enclosed space
    -Flamable dust
    -A spark/ignition....

    High volumes of small particles?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 571 ✭✭✭Parawhore.xD


    High volumes of small particles?

    It's high concentration either I think?

    Guys its CONDIOTIONS
    the dust must be flammable yes when we say dust we mean finely ground particles in high concentration but you need it to be flammable or else it wont explode...
    you also need an enclosed space for this to occur at all
    and an ignition to start it all off!

    You don't be playing with dust silos Mrs Curie! A science experiment already got the better of you before..*cough*radiation*cough*

    I'm well aware it's conditions plural, no need to take on such a condescending tone thanks.

    Eek does the intermediate formation theory explain homogeneous, heterogeneous or autocatalysis ?

    I was trying to help you...

    Homogenoous.....they have to be in the same phase for intermediate compounds to form...

    Heterogenous is....surface adsorbtion...

    ill surely get an A1 now :3
