acids alkali Flashcards
what are the middle and end numbers of the pH scale
7 and 14
testing for neutralisation reaction equation
alkali + acid arrow salt + water
what is indicator
something that changes colour depending if its alkali or acid
two types of indicator
litmus paper (blue=alkali red=acid)
universal indicator = turns to colour of pH scale
4 steps for making salts
add acid + alkali to water
test drops of it on universal indicator paper
when neutral(green) boil
leave solution to crystallise
reactivity series in order
Au, Ag, Cu, H, Pb, Fe, Zn, C, Al, Mg, Ca, Na, K
how are some ores extracted
reduction (carbon used)
electrolysis
how to test for hydrogen equation
metal (higher than hydrogen) + acid —> salt + hydrogen
what is displacement reaction
when a more reactive metal deplaces a less reactive element from its compound
