Hi Jeryl T,
Since you do not know what is your first Chemistry topic in 2013, we shall do some recap on Sec 3 stuff.
Before you proceed further, I want to remind you ( Oh no, Mrs Chew wants to nag again? ) that Chemistry needs to spend some time to memorise the information before you can do A LOT OF questions. 🙂
Every week, I shall try to give you something ( I will not give you a lot each time so dont worry!!) to memorise and I will give you a short worksheet to test your memory+ understanding during class.
I AM VERY SURE , WITH THESE KNOWLEDGE IN YOUR HEAD, YOU CAN DO VERY WELL! I have confidence in you!
For you, this week homework is to STUDY and REMEMBER
– Some common gases’ solubility in water
– Some common gases’ density (relative to air)
– Collection of Gases methods
– Some common drying agents for gas
Some common gases’ solubility in water
- More common gases i.e oxygen, carbon dioxide and hydrogen are nearly insoluble in water.
- More “chim” gases ( those which our young siblings do not know) i.e ammonia, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gases are soluble.
Some common gases’ density (relative to air)
- Hydrogen, Ammonia –> less dense ( you can remember Handsome Admirer Likes Damsel)
- Carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas –> More dense ( you can remember CD, Heavy Cat and Cat sinks in water )
- Oxygen –> Equally dense
Collection of Gases methods
- Displacement of air – downwards delivery ( Means gas is collected at the bottom, so it is used when gas is denser than air)
- Displacement of air – upwards delivery ( Means gas is collected at the top, so it is used when gas is less dense than air)
- Displacement of water – used when gas is insoluble in water
Some common drying agents for gas
- Concentrated sulfuric acid ( used for acidic gas)
- Quick lime aka Calcium oxide ( used for alkaline gas i.e ammonia)
- Fused calcium chloride ( used for general gases like hydrogen and oxygen as it is neutral in nature)
I want your commitment to MEMORISE these information hor! 🙂
Watsapp me when you know the topic of Chemistry you are learning at school currently! See ya!
Thank you for helping my IGCSE Chemistry Revision! Have a good day 🙂
No problem! Blessed Christmas!
Thanks a lot!!
mnemonics
Hydrogen, Ammonia –> less dense (Handsome Ali Likes Donut)
Carbon dioxide, hydrogen chloride and chlorine gas –> More dense (Come down & Have chocolates & Candies My Dear)
thanks
Helped me more than my book thank you for making a page for this topic ????;-)
Heya i’m fоr the first time here. I came across this
board and I find It truly uѕeful & it helped me out a lot.
I hope to give sometһing bɑck and help others like yօu aided me.
limpeh like your idea!! damn creative siaa… Makes chemistry so much easier
Your means of telling all in this piece of writіng is truly рleasant, all
be capable of witһߋut difficսⅼty undеrstand it, Thankѕ a lot.
Thanks
Ӏ want to to thank you for this excellent reаd!!
I definitely enjoyed every bit of it. I have you book-mɑrked
to check out new things you post…
Great! Thank You so much. It really helped me clear my concepts.
You are so awеsome! I do not think I havе read a
single thing like this before. So great to find аnother person with some genuine thouɡhts on this topic.
Really.. many thanks for starting this up. This site іѕ one thing that is needed on the web,
someone witһ a little οriginality!
Thanks for the great
