Q

what is the method for investigating the neutralisation reaction between calcium oxide(base) ad adult hydrochloric acid?

A
  1. measure out dilute hydrochloric acid into conical flask
  2. measure fixed mass of calcium oxide, scales
  3. add together
  4. wait for base to completely react, record pH
  5. repeat 2-4 until all acid reacted
  6. plot graph to see how pH changes with mass of base added

Q

what are alkalis?

A

soluble bases

17
Q

acid + metal =

A

salt hydrogen

18
Q

metal oxides + acid=

A

salt + water

19
Q

metal hydroxides + acid=

A

salt + water

20
Q

metal carbonates + acid=

A

salt + water + carbon dioxide

21
Q

what is the chemical test for hydrogen?

A
  • lightened splint

- makes sneaky pop

22
Q

what is the chemical test for carbon dioxide?

A
  • bubbling it through limewater

- it will turn cloudy

23
Q

what is neutralisation reaction?

A

is a reaction between an acid and a base

24
Q

what is an acid-alkali reaction?

A

when hydrogen ions (H+) from the acid react with hydroxide ion(OH-) from the alkali to form water

25
Q

how do you make soluble salts using an acid and insoluble base?

A
  1. heat acid in water bath-speeds up reaction
  2. add base to acid- form a soluble salt
  3. you will know when it all has been naturalised when the excess solid will just skink to the bottom
  4. filter of solid to leave salt and water
26
Q

how can you make soluble salts using acid/alakali and a soluble reactant?

A
  1. set amount of acid measured using pipette, add indicator
  2. slowly add alkali to acid until reached end point using burette, when indicator changes colour so its neutralised
  3. carry out reaction using same volumes of alkali and acid but no indicator
  4. salt and water left
  5. evaporate to leave pure, dry salt
27
Q

are common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

28
Q

are nitrates soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

29
Q

are common chlorides soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

except silver chloride and lead chloride

30
Q

are common sulphates soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

except lead, barium, calcium chloride

31
Q

are common carbonates and hydroxides soluble or insoluble?

A

insoluble

expect sodium, potassium, ammonium

32
Q

what is the method used to prepare a pure dry sample of an insoluble salt?

A
  • use a precipitation reaction
    1. 1 scapular of lead nitrate in test tube. add deionised water, till lead dissolved
    2. same with sodium chloride
    3. mix into beaker. stir.
    4. use filterpaper filter it
    5. tip sediment into new beaker and leave to dry
