18
Q

Nitric acid produces…

but it reacts with….. to produce …. instead.

A

Nitrates

metals to produce nitrogen oxides

19
Q

Metal oxides and hydroxides are…

A

BASES

20
Q

Some Metal oxides and hydroxides do what in water?

A

Dissolve

21
Q

The Metal oxides and hydroxides that dissolve in water are called what?

A

Alkalis

22
Q

Bases that don’t dissolve in water still…

A

react with acid

23
Q

So all Metal oxides and hydroxides react with … to get…
Write the word equations for these…
acid + metal oxide =
acid + metal hydroxide =

A

Acid to get salt and water.
Salt + water
Salt + water

24
Q

What type of reaction is acid + Metal oxide or hydroxide

A

Neutralisation

25
Q

What decides what salt you get when neutralising Metal oxides and hydroxides
e.g
Hydrochloric acid + copper oxide =

A

The metal and acid

Copper chloride and water

26
Q

What can ammonia be neutralised with to make a good fertiliser?

A

HNO3, Nitric acid

27
Q

What is the formula for ammonia

A

NH3

28
Q

What does ammonia dissolve into in water?

A

An alkaline solution

29
Q

When ammonia’s alkaline solution reacts with …. you get a …. called…

A

Nitric acid you get a neutral salt called ammonium nitrate

30
Q

What is he symbol and word equation for the neutralisation of ammonia?
What is not produced that normally is in a neutralisation reaction?

A

NH3 + HNO3 = NH4NO3 (aq all the way through)
ammonia + nitric acid = ammonium nitrate
Water

31
Q

Why is ammonium nitrate a good fertiliser?

A

It has two sources of nitrogen, the ammonia and nitric acid, a double dose, and plants need this to make proteins.

32
Q

Most oxides and hydroxides are….. in water.

A

Insoluble

33
Q

Making soluble salts from a metal or insoluble base:

  1. Pick a metal or … and the right acid for the salt you want
  2. Add the two together, the …. will dissolve in the .. as it reacts.
  3. You will know when all the acid has been …. because the excess … will ….. .
  4. Then………. the excess metal or ………… or……. to get the salt solution.
  5. To get……… of salt evaporate some of the ….. to make the solution more……… the leave the rest to ……. very slowly, this is called ……………
A
  1. an insoluble base, metal hydroxide or oxide
  2. solid in the acid
  3. neutralised …. metal or metal oxide/hydroxide will sink to the bottom of the flask.
  4. filter… oxide or hydroxide
  5. pure solid crystals of salt…. water… concentrated… evaporate … Crystallisation.
34
Q

Making soluble salts using an alkali.. a BASE that dissolves in water:

  1. Add exactly the right amount of… to … the acid
  2. Use … to check if the solution is fully….
  3. Then … the experiment so that the products aren’t … with indicator
  4. Then… the water to … the salt as normal
A
  1. alkali, neutralise
  2. Universal indicator … neutralised
  3. repeat…. contaminated
  4. The evaporate off the water to crystallise
35
Q

Why can’t you use crystallisation using an alkali?

A

You can’t see when the reaction’s finished because you can’t just add excess solid to neutralise all the acid.

36
Q

Making insoluble salts…

  1. Pick two …. containing the …. you need
  2. For example to make lead chloride mix lead nitrate … with … ions, for example mix ….. with …..
  3. As the salt is …. it will ….. out to the bottom of the flask
  4. You then…… it from the …. , .. it and dry it on … paper
A

Precipitation reactions

  1. solutions … ions
  2. …ions with chloride ions, for example mix lead nitrate solution with.. sodium chloride solution.
  3. insoluble… precipitate out…
  4. filter it from the solution, wash it dry it on filter paper.
37
Q

How many experiments are there for making salts? What are they?
Making … salts from….

A

3
Soluble salts from an insoluble base (or metal)
Soluble slats from an alkali
Insoluble salts using two solutions containing the wanted ions.

38
Q

What can precipitation reactions be used for?
Water (2)
Waste

A

Removing poisonous ions from drinking water (lead).
Magnesium and calcium can be removed, they make water “hard”, stopping soap lathering properly,
Treating effluent (sewage) removing unwanted ions.
