Acids Alkalis And Salts Flashcards
Use of universal indicator
Useful for testing a combination of dyes and presents to normal string of colours
Use of litmus paper
Test whether a solution is acidic or alkali
Red acidic
Purple neutral
Alkaline blue
Use of phenolphthalein
Used in titration
Change acidic to colourless
Change alkali to bright pink
Use of methyl orange
Changes acidic solutions red
Changes alkaline a yellow
Purpose of the pH scale
Goes from 0-14
Strongest alkali is 14
Strongest acid is 0
Neutral is 7
What are acids
A source of hydrogen ions (H+)
What are alkalis
Bases that can neutralise an acid
Have soluble bases
A source of hydroxide ions (OH-)
Predict the product if reactions between dilute hydrochloric acid and metal oxides
Hydrochloric acid + metal oxide➡️ metal chloride + water
Predict the product if reactions between hydrochloric acid and metal carbonate
Hydrochloric acid + metal carbonate ➡️ metal chloride + water + carbon dioxide
Predict the product if reactions between sulfuric acid and metal oxide
Sulfuric acid + metal oxide ➡️ metal sulfate + water
Predict the product of reactions between sulfuric acid and metal carbonate
Sulfuric acid + metal carbonate ➡️ metal sulphate + water + carbon dioxide
Predict the product of reactions between nitric acid metal oxide
Nitric acid + metal oxide ➡️ metal nitrate + water
Predict the product of reactions between nitric acid and metal carbonate
Nitric acid + metal carbonate ➡️ metal nitrate + water + carbon dioxide
