Acids and alkaline Flashcards
Acids
0 - 6
Any substance that forms an aqueous solution with a PH less than 7
Alkaline
What is a base
8 - 14
Any substance with a PH greater than 7
What term can be used to describe solutions with a pH of 7?
Give an example of a neutral substance
Neutral
Pure water
2 ways you could measure PH
Using a chemical indicator - universal indicator
Using a PH probe which gives accurate results
Hydrogen equation
That will form h2o
H(+) + OH(-) → H20
What would metal oxide + acid form
salt + water
How does the salt form
You take the negative ion from the acid and combine it with the positive ion from the base
What does PH mean
A measure of the hydrogen ions (H+) concentration of the solution
What is the strength of an acid
How much ion dissociates (splits)
Concentration
The amount of acid molecules in a given volume of a solution
What are bases
Bases are a chemical which can neutralise acids and produce saltand water
Bases which are soluble in water are called alkalies
What does dilute mean
weak
What does concentrated mean?
A relatively large quantity of substances present in a amount of a mixture
Part 1 - Obtain a solution of the soluble salt that we want
Place dilute acid in a beaker and heat gently.
Add the solid base bit by bit until it stops reacting, which means it’s in excess.
Isolate the salt solution by filtering out the excess solid base using filter paper and a funnel.
Part 2 - Isolate the soluble salt crystals from the solution
Heat the salt solution gently in a water bath until crystals start to form.
Let the solution cool further, which will cause more crystals to precipitate.
Filter out the soluble salt crystals using filter paper and funnel.
What ions are in acids and alkali
Acids produce hydrogen ions in solutions H+
Alkali release hydroxide ions OH-
