A

Sodium, potassium and ammonium

55
Q

What are 2 observations from an acid+Metal reaction

A

The metal disappears and effervescence

56
Q

What 3 metals are too reactive to do a metal+acid reaction

A

Potassium, sodium and lithium

57
Q

What 3 metals aren’t reactive enough to do a metal+acid reaction and why

A

Copper, silver and gold as they are less reactive than hydrogen

58
Q

A

The base is used up in the reaction

59
Q

What are the 4 stages to making a salt crystal

A

1) Add the base to an acid and heat it
2) Filter out excess base
3) Heat the salt solution until crystals start to form on the outside
4) Leave the salt solution to crystallize

60

64
Q

What colour does red litmus turn in acids

65
Q

What colour does red litmus turn in a neutral substance

66
Q

What colour does red litmus turn in alkalis

67
Q

What colour does Blue litmus turn in acids

68
Q

What colour does Blue litmus turn in a neutral substance

69
Q

What colour does blue litmus turn in alkalis

70
Q

Why shouldn’t litmus paper be used alone to determine is a solution is acidic or alkali

A

1) It doesn’t give an indication of of how acidic or alkalinic it is and so universal indicator should be used as well
2) It stays the same colour in neutral substances as well
