Q

lead + dilute hcl/ dilute h2so4-> appears not to react. why?

A

1) a layer of lead (II) chloride or lead (II) sulfate is formed from the initial reaction
2) this layer is insoluble and quickly forms a coating around the metal
3) this coating protects the metal from further attack by the acid and stops the reaction

Q

why do acids have acidic properties only when dissolved in water

A

when dissolved in water the acid molecules ionizes into hydrogen and [ ] ions

not in water, acid exists as small covalent molecules

16
Q

strength of acid:

A

extent of ionization

17
Q

concentration:

A

amt of solute dissolved in a unit volume of soln

18
Q

→ (single arrow)

A

strong acid is on that completely ionises in water to give H+ ions-complete ionization

19
Q

→←(double arrow)

A

weak acid is one that partially ionises in water to give h+ ions - incomplete ionization

20
Q

monobasic :

A

when one acid molecule produces one hydrogen ion when dissolved in water (e.g HCL/ HNO3)
