acids Flashcards
def of acid
a substance that produces hydrogen ions when dissolved in water
chemical formula for: sulfuric acid nitric acid sulfurous hydrochloric acid phosphoric acid carbonic ethanoic
H2SO4 HNO3 H2SO3 HCL H3PO4 H2CO3 CH3COOH
all acids have_____
h+ ions
acids turn ___ ____ litmus paper ___
damp; blue; red
metals that usually do not react with dilute acids
copper silver gold platinum
dilute HNO3 reacts with copper to form
nitrate salt + nitrogen oxide + water
proof of ionization
acid soln able to conduct electricity
acid + metal oxide (base)
salt + water
acid + metal
salt + hydrogen gas
acid + metal hydroxide
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate/ hydrogen carbonate
salt + h2o + co2
metal ion or ammonium ion replaces hydrogen ion in acid to form ___
salt
lead + dilute hcl/ dilute h2so4-> appears not to react. why?
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
why do acids have acidic properties only when dissolved in water
when dissolved in water the acid molecules ionizes into hydrogen and [ ] ions
not in water, acid exists as small covalent molecules
basicity of acid
the max no of hydrogen ions produced by a molecule of acid in water
