20
Q

What is an acid in an aqueous solution a source of?

A
  • a source of hydrogen ions

- hydrogen ions are positively charged

21
Q

What is an alkali in an aqueous solution a source of?

A
  • hydroxide ions

- hydroxide ions are negatively charged

22
Q

How to calculate moles?

A

mass/relative molecular mass

23
Q

“Calculate the mass of KOH when HNO3+ KOH = KNO3+ H2O when HNO3is 3g”

A

HNO3: mass = 3g, Mr = 63, moles = 0.048KOH : Mr = 56, moles = 0.048, mass = mol by Mr = 0.048 by 56 = 2.67g

24
Q

What is neutralisation?

A

acid + base = salt + water

25
Q

How to calculate the concentration of an acid or alkali?

A

Titration

26
Q

What is the apparatus needed for titration?

A
  • burette
  • conical flask
  • pipette
  • pipette filler
  • clamp and stand
27
Q

What is the titre (cm3) in titration?

A

The difference between the reading at the start and the final reading gives the volume of the acid (or alkali) added.

28
Q

When do we know when neutralisation has taken place in a titration experiment?

A
  • when the alkali in the conical flask which phenolphthalein has been added turns colourless
29
Q

metal + acid = ?

A

metal + acid = salt + hydrogen

30
Q

acid + base = ?

A

acid + base = salt + water

31
Q

acid + carbonate = ?

A

acid + carbonate = salt + water + carbon dioxide

32
Q

Are common sodium, potassium and ammonium compouds soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

33
Q

Are all nitrates soluble or insoluble?

A

soluble

34
Q

Are common chlorides soluble or insoluble? Which 2 are an exception?

A
  • soluble

- silver and lead(II) are insoluble

35
Q

Are common sulfates soluble or insoluble? Which 3 are an exception?

A
  • soluble

- barium, calcium and lead(II) are insoluble

36
Q

Are common carbonates soluble or insoluble? Which 3 are an exception?

A
  • insoluble

- sodium, potassium and ammonium are soluble

37
Q

Are common hydroxides soluble or insoluble? Which 3 are exceptions?

A
  • insoluble

- sodium, potassium and calcium are soluble

38
Q

Method of knowing if a salt is soluble:

A
  • measure out acid
    If base is soluble:
  • add base (excess)
    If base is insoluble:
  • add base
  • when fizzing stops and the solid has disappeared, add more base (keep repeating). There should now be excess, unreacted powder in the flask
  • filter the mixture
    For both methods, then:
  • pour the solution into an evaporating dish and heat to concentrate the solution by evaporating some of the water
  • leave the solution to cool and crystallize
  • filter off the crystals and pat dry between clean dry filter papers
39
Q

Method of knowing if a salt is insoluble:

A
  • measure out acid
  • add base (excess) until no more precipitate is produced
  • filter the mixture
  • pat dry between clean dry filter papers
