Questions for chemistry exams
HI! After an year into alevels, I have got some questions before the exams. I have not found any satisfactory answers from my own research or even from my teacher. So I need your help. If you do not have time to answer all these, then answer at leaset one for now. That will be beneficial for me.
1. Why is titration only possible with liquids? I mean we can take a solid in the beaker and run the other reactant from the burette. Rate of reaction may be slow but we can wait for it to complere before we add more reactant from the burette?
2. Write two observations when CaNO3 is heated. Well, one may be a brown gas is produced. What about the other? My answer was - The solid CaNO3 gets smaller but I got no credits for it. Can you tell me why?
3. Shaking an alkene with acidified KMnO4 produces a diol. Will it happen with Na2Cr2O7 too? If no, then why?
4. We know about ocidation of alcohol with acidified K2Cr2O7. Will I get the same products if I use acidified KMnO4?
5. Keeping silver chloride in light causes it to turn gray. What about the other silver halides?
6. What happens when you shake you bubble an alkene through bromine dissolved in an organic solvent? My answer- it goes red to colourless. But it has been rejected by the markscheme. Any ideas why?
Any help will be appreciated very much. Thank you.
