110-167 (joel) Flashcards
A titration is used to measure fixed volumes of what
Acid and alkali that react with eacother
A pipette is used in titrations to measure what
Fixed volume of a solution
A burette is used in titrations to obtain what
Accurate measurements of the volume of the solution added
In titrations what kind of indicator is used and an example
One with a sharp end point
e.g Phenoltphalein
Results are repeated until you have 3 concordant results what does concordant mean
With in 0.1 of each other
What does a strong acid do in an aqueous solution
It completely ionises
What are examples of strong acids(3)
Nitric acid
Hydrochloric acid
Sulphuric acid
What do weak acids do in an aqueous solution
Partially ionise
What are examples of weak acids
Ethanoic, citric, carbonic
The stronger the acid the lower or higher the pH
Lower
As the pH deceased by 1 unit what happens to the hydrogen ion concentration
It increases by a factor of 10
Acids produce what ions in aqueous solution
Hydrogen (H+)
Aqueous solutions of alkalis contain what ions
Hydroxide ions (OH-)
What is the pH scale
A measure of the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
What can pH be measured with
Universal indicator or pH probe
What is the pH of a neutral solution
7
Acids have a pH of?
Less than 7
Alkalis have a pH of ?
Greater than 7
In neutralisation reactions what do the ions do
Hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions neutralise each other
H+ + OH- >H2O
Acids react with some metals to produce
Salt plus hydrogen
Sulphuric acid produce salts called
Hydrochloric acids produce
Nitric acids produce
Sulphates
Chlorides
Nitrates
What are alkalis
Soluble metal hydroxides
What are bases
Insoluble metal hydroxides
When acids are neutralised by alkalis or bases what is produced
Salt plus water
When acids are neutralised by a metal carbonate what is produced
Salt, water and carbon dioxide
What happens to the excess solid when reacting insoluble base with an acid to make a soluble salt
It is used then filtered off after the reaction
What can be done to salt solutions to produce pure solid salts
Crystallisation
What is an oxidation reaction
Metals react with oxygen to form a metal oxide
When metals react they lose what
Electrons to form positive ions
What’s the reactivity series
Potassium
Sodium
Lithium
Calcium
Magnesium
Aluminium
Carbon
Zinc
Iron
Tin lead
Hydrogen
Copper
Silver
Gold
What is a displacement reaction
When a more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal
What do metals more reactive than hydrogen reactive with to form hydrogen
Acid
When can reduction with carbon be used
With metals less reactive than hydrogen can be extracted from their ores
What is reduction
The gain of electrons
What is reduction
The loss of electrons
What is oxidation
The loss of electrons
