Q

Practical: Measuring percentage of oxygen

A

Use a syringe and react oxygen with copper, once all has been added to metal, use the equation:

Decrease in vol
——————— X 100
Initial Volume

Q

Definition of Acid

A

A H+ donor (protons)

25
Q

Definition of an alkaline

A

OH- donor

26
Q

Definition of a base

A

H+ acceptor

27
Q

Acid Description

A

Acids dissolve in water then donate H+ making the pH less than 7

28
Q

Alkaline Description

A

Alkali’s dissolve in water and donate OH- ions making the pH more than 7

29
Q

Bases Description

A
  • Bases dissolve and accept the H+ from H2O molecules

- Left over is OH- cause the solution to have a pH more than 7 also resulting in it being alkaline

30
Q

Important Acids

A 
Hydrochloric Acid: HCl

51
Q

Observations of acid + metal reaction

A
  • The metal disappears as it is sued up in the reaction

- There is fizzing because hydrogen gas is produced

52
Q

Test for hydrogen

A

Lit splint in gas, pop if hydrogen is present

53
Q

Observation of Acid + Base Reaction

A

-The base disappears as it used up in the reaction

54
Q

Making salt crystals (Acid + Base)

A
  • Add excess base to hit acid
  • Filter out excess bass
  • Salt solution is then collected in evaporation basin
  • Heat salt solution until crystals form around edges
  • Leave salt solution to crystallise
  • Evaporation of water allows crystals to form
55
Q

Acid + Carbonate Reaction

A

Acid + Carbonate —> Salt + Water + Carbon Dioxide

56
Q

Observations of Acid + Carbonate Reaction

A
  • The carbonate disappears as it has been used up in the reaction
  • Fizzing as carbon dioxide gas is produced
57
Q

What happens to the salt in an Acid + Something reaction

A

If it is soluble, it will dissolve

58
Q
