Acids, Alkalis And Salts Flashcards
What is the pH scale
The pH scale, from 0-14 , can be used to classify solutions we strongly acidic, weakly acidic, neutral, weakly alkaline or strongly alkaline
What is the use of the universal indicator
To measure the approximate pH value of a solution
What are acids
Sources of hydrogen ions , H+
What are alkalis
Sources of hydroxide ions, OH-
Hydrochloride acid + metal ->
Metal chloride salt + hydrogen
Sulfuric acid + metal ->
Metal sulphate + hydrogen
Hydrochloric acid + metal oxide ->
Metal chloride salt + water
Nitric acid + metal oxide ->
Metal nitrate salt + water
Sulphuric acid + metal oxide ->
Metal sulfate + water
Hydrochloride acid + metal carbonate
-> metal chloride salt + water + carbon dioxide
Nitric acid + metal carbonate ->
Metal nitrate salt + water + CO2
Sulphuric acid + metal carbonate ->
Metal sulfate + water + CO2
All common sodium, potassium and ammonium salts are
Soluble
All nitrates are
Soluble
Common chlorides are………..except…….
Soluble except solve chloride
