Here are some topics you should know for Chemistry Unit 3B exam.
- Test for Halides
- Flame tests
- Preparation of aldehydes using simple distillation and carboxylic acids by heating under reflux
- Preparation of halogenoalkanes
- Test for alkenes using bromine water and acidified potassium per manganate
- Test for halide present in a halogenoalkane by warming with sodium hydoroxide dissolved in ethanol followed by dilute nitric acid (to neutralize OH) and silver nitrate followed by ammonia solution
- Distinguish between aldehydes and ketones using Benedicts or Fehlings solution. Formation of red precipitate confirms aldehyde
- Drawing apparatus for simple distillation, heating under reflux and seperation of two immiscible liquids (dropping funnel)
- Test for sulfates, sulfites and carbonates using barium chloride solution
- Energetics: Enthalpy of neutralisation, combustion and displacement
- Rates of reaction
- Chemical equilibria
- Reactions of group 2 and group 7 elements
- Volumetric analysis: esp thiosulfate
- Test for SO2, CO2, H2 and O2. (by sankait36): SO2 - turns acidified potassium dichromate(VI) from orange(Cr6+) to green(Cr3+), CO2 - turns lime water milky (due to insoluble calcium carbonate), H2 - test with burning splint, ignites with a pop sound, O2 - relights a glowing splint
- Uncertainties (by sankait36): uncertainty = (maximum reading) - (minimum reading) / 2 , %uncertainty = (uncertainty / actual reading) * 100
- In titration, discard the titre that is not concordant to 0.2 cm^
