Indicators: change colour depending on how acidic or basic the solution is
Universal indicator is a mixture of litmus, phenolphthalein, methyl orange and
bromothymol blue.
Each of these can also be used independently as an indicator

Identify and describe some everyday uses of indicators including the testing of
soil acidity/basicity
In chemistry:
Used regally in laboratories to:
• Moniter how acidic or alkaline solutions from industries are before they
are pumped into a river or sea- this ensures that we can monitor the
affect they have on the environment and make sure we minimise this
affect
Not in chemistry:
• Testing the water in aquariums- some aquatic organisms can only
survive withing a very narrow pH, it is therefore imperative that we
measure this pH to ensure their survival
• Testing the water in swimming pools
• Testing soil samples- if the pH of soil is too great or small this may
result in the death of some plants

If one of these changes occur the system will adjust as to minimise this
change, by reacting in one specific way.
The effect of changing temperature and pressure can be regarded as
moving the ‘position of equilibrium’
‘Position of equilibrium’ or ‘equilibrium position’ means the extent to
which the reaction has gone forward or reversed in direction
If the equilibrium position ‘lies to the left’, then only some of the
reactants have reacted to form the products
If the equilibrium position ‘lies to the right’, then most of the reactants
have reacted to form the products

Identify natural and industrial sources of sulfur dioxide and oxides of
nitrogen
describe, using equations, examples of chemical reactions which
release sulfur dioxide and chemical reactions which release oxides of
nitrogen
Analyse information from secondary sources to summarise the
industrial origins of sulfur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen and evaluate
reasons for concern about their release into the environment
Sulfur Dioxide:
Industrial sourcesThe burning of fossil fuels, this is because most coal contains sulfur
and it is not practical to extract the sulfur prior to burning it. The sulfur
is therefore converted to sulfur dioxide when it is burnt with the coal, as
is shown in the following reaction:
S + O2(g)
SO2
Crude oil also contains sulfur compounds. These can be extracted and
sold to sulfuric acid manufacturers, although the extraction process
results in the release of some sulfur into the atmosphere. Also, some
sulfur can be left in the gas or crude oil and is later released into the
atmosphere.
Also the extraction of metals from sulfide ores. Many metals, such as
Cu, Zn, Ag and Ni, are found in sulfide ores. The first step in the
extraction process involves roasting the sulfide in air, resulting in the

release of sulfur dioxide. For example in the extraction of Cu from it’s
ore: 2ZnS(s) + 3O2(g)
2ZnO(s) + 2SO2(g)
The manufacturing of sulphuric acid
Refining of petroleum
Natural Sources- About two thirds of the sulfur dioxide released world
wide originates from:
Geothermal hot springs
Volcanoes
Decay of organic material
•
Oxides of Nitrogen:
•
Nitric Oxide (NO) and Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
Natural Sources• NO is formed as a result of the high and concentrate temperatures
formed as a result of lightning. As is demonstrated by the following
reaction:
O2(g)+N2(g)
2NO(g)
•
The NO then gradually reacts with the oxygen found in the
atmosphere to
form NO2: 2NO(g)+O2(g)
2NO2(g)
Industrial sources• NO and NO2 are both formed as a result of combustion, from both cars
and power stations. Due to the high temperature the oxygen and
nitrogen found in air to combine to form NO, just as they do due to
lightning in the environment. Also, just as stated above, the NO is
gradually changed to NO2.
Nitrous oxide
Natural sources• Bacteria acts upon nitrogenous materials in the soil in a way that
results in the formation of nitrous oxide
• Industrial sources• The use of nitrogenous fertilizer adds to the amount of nitrous oxide
produced by bacteria, therefore increasing the amount of nitrous oxide
released into the atmosphere
•
SO2 and NO2 can have a negative impact on barley, impacting upon
its growth patterns. This could have a negative impact on food
production and damage the economy. NO2 can cause irritation to the
lungs as well as lowering the body’s resistance to respiratory infections
such as influenza. Regular exposure in children may result in acute
respiratory illness. SO2 also has negative health affects, including
respiratory illness. Asthmatics and those with chronic lung disease or
cardiovascular disease, as well as children and elderly, are particularly
receptive to SO2.

concentration of oxides of sulfur and nitrogen

oxides is not easy to find, due to the following:

There is only a very small amount of these gasses, 0.001 ppm in
populated areas. The instruments required to measure these very low
concentrations of the gasses have only been available since the 1970s
When SO2 dissolves in water it forms sulfate ions and NO2 forms
nitrate ions. Sulfate and nitrate ions are usually soluble in water, they
circulate the biosphere and hydrosphere being chemically changed in
the process. This means that SO2 and NO2 are very hard to measure
from water samples.
Despite this there is some evidence to suggest the atmospheric
concentration of oxides of sulfur and nitrogen has increased. This
evidence comes from analysis of air bubbles that have been trapped in
Antarctic ice; measurement of carbon isotopes in old trees and grass
seeds found in museums, as well as calcium carbonate found in coral.
The amount of acid oxides released into the atmosphere has increased
dramatically since the industrial revolution. Large amounts of SO2
and NO2 dissolve in rainwater and are as a result washed out of the
atmosphere with rain. As a result there is not a significant build up of
these gasses over time, compared with CO2 and Nitrous oxide which
have built up to a huge extent. Overall, the evidence is inaccurate due
to the difficulties involved in collecting data. Due to technological
advances, the evidence collected in recent times is considerably more
reliable, however, there is a lacking of reliable past data to compare it
to in order to see changes over time.

Gas pressure is due to constant bombardment of the walls of the
container by moving molecules. A rise in temperature increases the
kinetic energy of the molecules, which results in more collisions
therefore a rise in gas pressure.

Pressure equals force per unit area. SI unit is Pascal (Pa)
Pressure can be used using a manometer. A manometer used only to
measure atmospheric pressure is called a barometer.

Molar Volume of a Gas
According to Avogadro, any gas occupies the same volume at the
same temperature and pressure. The molar volume of a gas is the
volume of one mole of any gas.
At 100 kPa one mole of any gas will occupy 22.71 litres at 00C and at
250C it will occupy 24.79 litres
•

Explain the formation and effects of acid rain
Acid rain is rain that has a higher hydrogen ion concentration than
normal, unpolluted rain. Unpolluted rainwater therefore has a pH of
about 5.6, due to atmospheric CO2 dissolving in the rain water to form
carbonic acid. Acid rain is formed as a result of the exposure of
rainwater to, CO2, NO and SO2. The acid that is generally present in
acid rain is sulfuric acid and nitric acid.
NO slowly reacts in air to form NO2. NO2 then reacts with water to
form nitric acid, HNO3. As is demonstrated through the following
reaction:
3NO2(g) + H2O(l)
2HNO3(aq) + NO(g)
The nitric acid then disassociates in water, forming nitrate and
hydrogen ions.
SO2 reacts with water to produce sulphurise acid (it is an acid-oxide)
and can be oxidised to form sulphur trioxide:
SO2(g) + H2O(l)
H2SO3(aq)
2SO2(g) + O2(g )
2SO3(g)
SO3(g) + H2O(l)
H2SO4(aq)

Sulfuric acid, being a strong acid, disassociates in water to give of
hydrogen ions:
H2SO4(aq)
HSO4- + H+
HSO4SO42- + H+
•
There are many negative affects of acid rain both on society and the
environmentSociety:
Acid rain causes the erosion of marble and limestone, as both marble
and limestone contain CaCO3. The following reaction shows how
CaCO3 is eroded by sulfuric acid:
CaCO3(s) + H2SO4(aq)
Ca2+(aq) + SO4-2(aq) + H2O(l) +
CO2(g)
This results in the damage of building surfaces and decorations.
Environment:
Acid rain has lead to an increase in the acidity of many lakes, having
negative affect on organisms that inhabit these areas. It may also
release toxic ions such as Al3+ into the lakes or rivers.
Many pine forests in North America and parts of Europe have been
damaged as a result of acid rain. Acid rain has caused damage to
vegetation in areas around mines and smelter sites as they release
CO, NO and NO2.

Aim: To decarbonate soft drink, measure the mass changes involved
and calculate the volume of gas released at 250C at 100kPa.
•
Method:
1. Weigh the soda water bottle before opening as well as the beaker.
2. Open the soda water bottle and pour it into the beaker.
3. Weigh the empty bottle.
4. Place approximately the same amount of water into another beaker
and weigh (the water in the beaker is to be used as a control so that
the weight loss due to the evaporation so that the water can be
estimated)
5. Leave the two beakers out in the lab covered lightly with a piece of
towel so there is no chance of inaccuracy (eg: Flies falling in)
6. Weigh the beakers at regular intervals over several days.

Decarbonation is the removal of dissolved CO2 from solution (soft
drink).
Define acids as proton donors and describe the ionisation of acids in
water
Acids are proton donors because they give of protons. In spolution they
give of H+, which contain one proton, hens they are proton donors. The
H+ ion then combines with the H2O in water to form hydronium- H3O+.

When an acid dissolves in water it ionises, i.e. it breaks up into ions.
For example:
HCl(g) + H2O(l)
H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
It is the presence of the hydronium ion which makes the solution acidic
•
•
•
•
Water is a very weak electrolyte because it has slight ionisation.
H2O
H3O+ + OHThis is called the self ionisation of water.
It is an equilibrium reaction that lies well to the left.
This self ionisation also occurs in aqueous solutions such as an acid,
base or salt solution.
At any given temperature the product of the hydrogen and hydroxide
ions is constant. At 250C it is always 1 x 10-14 (mol/L)2 OR 10-14 and
the symbol used is KW. This is called the ionic product or ionisation
constant of water.

HCl is a strong acid- close to 100% is ionised in solution:

water
•
If you prepare 0.1 M solutions of each you should find the hydrochloric
acid has a pH of 1 corresponding to a [H+] = 10-1 = 0.1 M.
That is, practically every HCl molecule has ionised, producing a H+.
•
•
By contrast a 0.1 M solution of acetic acid will have a pH close to 3
indicating a [H+] close to 10-3 = 0.001 M. Only about 0.001 / 0.1 = 1%
of the acetic acid molecules have ionised producing a H+.

•
Gather and process information from secondary sources to write ionic
equations to represent the ionisation of acids
•
A strong acid ionises completely, donating protons freely.
Eg: HCl(g) + H2O(l)
H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
All of the hydrochloric acid is present as ions; there are no neutral acid
molecules present.
•
•
•
A weak acid does not ionise completely; it is not a good proton donor.
Eg: CH3COOH(aq) + H2O(l)
H3O+(aq) + CH3COO-(aq)
This reaction is an equilibrium reaction. It does not go to completion.
Only a small percentage of the molecules ionise; the rest remain as
molecules of acetic acid.
•
Use available evidence to model the molecular nature of acids and
simulate the ionisation of strong and weak acids
•
Here you can build models of acid molecules and remove the
appropriate H to simulate ionisation. Note that in organic acids, the H
that ionises comes from a –COOH group. The two electronegative
oxygen atoms attract the pair of electrons in the covalent bond
between the O and the H. This weakens the bond so that sometimes
the H can break away as a H+ ion, leaving an electron from the H on
the –COO– , thus providing the charge of –1.
•
Gather and process information from secondary sources to explain the
use of acids as food additives
•
Acids such as vinegar have been used as food preservatives for
thousands of years, acid oxides such as SO2 are also widely used.
They prevent the growth of microbes, as they can not grow in acidic
environments.
(Any product with food codes 220 to 225 or 228 has one of these acidic
substances added: SO2 and H2SO3 or a sulfite, bisulfite or
metabisulfite salt)
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
The concentration of the additive decreases with time and this limits
the shelf life of the food.
Examples of food preservatives:
Sulfur dioxide SO2
• Sorbic acid

Lactic acid CH3CHOHCOOH
• Acetic acid CH3COOH
Nitrous acid HNO2

Describe the correct technique for conducting titrations and preparation
of standard solutions
•
A volumetric analysis is a form of chemical analysis in which the
concentration or amount of substance A is determined by measuring
the volume of solution of a known concentration of another substance
B which is just sufficient enough to react with all of the sample A.
Titration is the process the ‘just sufficient’ volume
•
•
•
The equivalence point: the point of a chemical reaction at which the
amount of two reactants are just sufficient to cause complete
consumption of two reactants.
This point is often determined by using an indicator. The indicator must
be chosen so that the pH at the end point (when the indicator changes
colour) is as close as possible to the equivalence point.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
For a strong acid-strong base titration:
Litmus (6 to 8)
Bromothyle blue (6.2 to 7.6)
For a strong acid- weak base titration:
Methyl orange (3.1 to 4.4)
Bromophenol blue (3.0 to 4.6)
Bromocresol green (3.8 to 5.4)
For a weak acid-strong base titration:
Phenolphthalein (8.3 to 10.0)
Thymol blue (8.0 to 9.6)
•
•
Method in acid-base titrations:
Wash the burette with water and then rinse with a little of the solution to
be placed in it
Fill the burette with a solution of known concentration (solution A) and
adjust the level of solution to the zero mark
Wash the pipette with water and then rinse with a little of the solution
(solution B) to be placed in it
Wash the conical flask with water
Use the pipette to transfer an exact volume, and hens an exact number
of moles of solution B into the conical flask
Add one or two drops of indicator to the conical flask
Slowly run solution A from the burette into the conical flask with
continuous swirling and washing of the inside of the conical flask until
the indicator just changes colour
Accurately record the volume delivered from the burette into the flask
Calculate the concentration of solution B

Cannot absorb water or other substances from the atmosphere during
weighing or when in use
It must be a crystalline solid and hence able to accurately be weighed
It must have a relatively high molar mass and so the experiment is very
accurate and the % error is very small
Sodium carbonate and oxalic acid make suitable primary standards for
titrations.
Sodium hydroxide and hydrochloric acid are not suitable primary
standards. NaOH absorbs water and carbon dioxide from the air. HCl,
obtained commercially from muriatic acid, is approximately 10 molar.
If an acid is added to a buffer the hydrogen ions are removed by:

If a base is added to a buffer the hydroxide ions are removed by:
OH- + HCO3H2O +CO3-2

Salts: ionic compounds.
Salt solutions can be acidic, basic or neutral depending on the

Aim:
To identify the pH of salt solutions.
Risk Assessment:
Salt solutions may be acidic as well as corrosive to skin, thus wear

Analyse information from secondary sources to assess the use of
neutralisation reactions as a safety measure or to minimise damage in
accidents or chemical spills
•
Neutralisation reactions are widely used for safety in laboratories and
factories where acids or bases are used. Because many acids and
alkalis are very corrosive, it is important to neutralise any spills of these
substances quickly.
•
•
•
•
Sodium carbonate is widely used to neutralise acidic spills because:
It is a stable solid, which is easily and safely handled and stored
It is the cheapest alkali available
If too much of it is used there is less danger than from excess sodium
hydroxide or lime (calcium hydroxide)
As it is amphiprotic it can be used for acid and base spills

Factors that need to be considered in choosing a substance to
neutralise acid or alkali spills in factories or laboratories, need to
consider:
The speed of the reaction for neutralising the spill material
The need for a regent that will not have any harmful effect if any excess
of it is used (since it is hard to determine exact quantities, for
neutralising spills)
The safety in handling and storing the reagent
The cost of the reagent
The possibility of one reagent being able to neutralise both acid and
alkali spills
Therefore, neutralisation is valuable but only when you have the
neutraliser as you’re creating an environmentally friendly substance
(salt and water) which is easy to get rid of compared to the acid base.

Explain the difference in melting point and boiling point caused by
straight-chained alkanoic acid and straight-chained primary alkanol
structures
•
The first few members of the alkane or alkene homologous series are
gases at room temperature. Intermolecular bonds do not form to the
same extent as they do for other substances of similar masses that are
liquid or solid at room temperature.
Alkanols contain C-O and O-H bonds with are polar. Also alkanols can
form hydrogen bonds with other alkanols. So there are strong
intermolecular forces in alkanols. As a result there are no alkanols that
are gas at room temperature
Alkanoic acid contains polar C=O bonds. The intermolecular forces are
even greater than that of the corresponding alkanol, therefore, they
have higher boiling points.
Alkanoic acids contain polar group, C=O. They have higher boiling
points than the corresponding alkanols

Absorbing the water formed, as a result forcing the equilibrium to the
right.
A strong acid may donate a proton to the unshared oxygen electron
pairs of either the acid or the alkanol. This makes the alkanol and the
alkanoic acid more reactive. The proton is eventually returned to the
solution. This reaction can be written asAlkanoic acid + alkanol (H+, above the arrow) ester + water
Acid-catalysed esterification is reversible and generally at equilibrium
there are appreciable quantities of both the ester and alkanol present
Explain the need for refluxing during esterification
•
As an alternative for the use of a catalyst during esterification the
reaction mixture can be heated above 100o C, this removes the water
as it is forms, forcing the equilibrium to the right.
This heating is nessesary to cause the reaction to proceed to any
appreciable extent. The heating gives the reacting partivles a greater
kinetic energy and therefore more successful collisions, but in the
process, volatile substances may be lost.

Outline some examples of the occurrence, production and uses of
esters
•
•
•
•
•
•
Esters occur naturally as:
Flavouring agents and scents in plants and fruits
Animal fats and plant oils.
The production of esters involves either:
Extraction from natural sources.
Manufacture in an industrial environment, which is generally far less
expensive (esterification)
Uses of esters include:
Flavouring agents and scents in foods.
Solvents and thinners.
Medications.
Plasticisers.

ExampleOctyl ethanoate:
It is associated with orange flavour, as it is the main ester present in
oranges.
Production- reacting 1-octanol with ethanoic acid while concentrated sulfuric
acid acts as a catalyst and increases the yield
• Uses- as a flavouring agent in foods, such as orange-flavoured
confectionary.

Process information from secondary sources to identify and describe
the uses of esters as flavours and perfumes in processed foods and
cosmetics
•
Esters occur naturally in living things as animal fats and oils and give
perfume and taste to flowers and fruits.
Esters are used in processed foods and in cosmetics (eg: ethyl acetate
in nail polish remover) as they have strong flavours and odours. They
are also useful as solvents.
Examples of common natural flavours:
Apple: methyl butanoate
Orange: octyl thanoate
Pear: pentyl ethanoate
