A

Less than 7

23
Q

What is the pH of water/ neutral solution?

A

pH of exactly 7

24
Q

What is the pH of a base/ alkali?

A

pH more than 7

25
Q

What is the pH scale a measure of?

A

The concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) in any given solution

26
Q

How can the pH be measured?

A

pH meter
pH indicator
pH paper

27
Q

What is the name of OH-

A

Hydroxide ions

28
Q

What is the name for H+

A

Hydrogen ions

29
Q

In pure water what is the concentration of H+ and OH- ions?

A

Hydrogen ions = hydroxide ions

30
Q

What ion does all acids contain?

A

H+ / Hydrogen ions

31
Q

Why do acidic and alkaline solutions conduct electricity well?

A

They contain oppositely charged ions that are free to move in solution and can carry charge

32
Q

What is the proportion of hydroxide and hydrogen ions in alkaline solution ?

A

More OH- than H+

33
Q

What happens to the pH and the concentration of an acid when you dilute it?

A

The pH goes up and concentration of the acid goes down

34
Q

What happens to the pH and the concentration of an alkali when you dilute it?

A

The pH goes down and concentration of the alkali goes down

35
Q

If a metal oxide is soluble in water what does it produce ?

36
Q

If a non metal oxide is soluble in water what does it produce

37
Q

What does acids contain?

A

Charged particles called hydrogen ions

38
Q

what is the difference between a base and an alkali

A

A base is a substance that neutralises an acid
A base that is soluble in an alkali
All alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis

39
Q

What is a spectator ion?

A

It’s an ion that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction

40
Q

what is titration?

A

an experimental method to determine the concentration of an unknown solution.

41
Q

How to recognise hydrogen? (test for hydrogen?)

A

Burns with a pop

42
Q

How to recognise oxygen? (test for oxygen)

A

Relights a glowing splint

43
Q

How to recognise carbon dioxide? (test for carbon dioxide)

A

Turns lime water cloudy

44
Q

What is the name of a metal oxide that do not dissolve in water but is capable of neutralising an acid?

45
Q

What are the products of this reaction: Hydrochloric acid + potassium carbonate?

A

potassium chloride + water + carbon dioxide

46
Q

What are the products for this reaction:

Sulfuric acid + Lithium oxide? (write the chemical formula for the salt produced)

49
Q

Write the chemical equation for the neutralisation reaction between Magnesium oxide and Nitric acid

A

MgO + HNO3 –> Mg(NO3)2 + H2O

50
Q

H2SO4 + 2NaOH

If 20ml of acid of concentration 0.2 mol/l were used to neutralised 25ml sodium hydroxide, what is the concentration of sodium hydroxide?
