Acids and Alkalis 2 Flashcards
non-metal oxides dissolve in water to form
acids
metal oxides dissolve in water to form an
alkaline solution
acids may be neutralised by
soluble or insoluble metal hydroxides, metal oxides or metal carbonates
acid + alkali
salt + water
base
a substance which neutralises an acid
alkalis
bases which dissolve in water
acid + metal ➡️
salt + hydrogen
acid + metal hydroxide ➡️
salt + water
acid + metal oxide
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate ➡️
salt + water + carbon dioxide
acids
substances which dissolve in water to produce an excess of hydrogen ions
alkalis
substances which dissolve in after to produce an excess of hydroxide ions
neutral solution
contains equal numbers of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions
hydrochloric acid
HCl
sulfuric acid
H₂SO₄
nitric acid
HNO₃
sodium hydroxide
NaOH
calcium hydroxide
Ca(OH)₂
ammonium hydroxide
NH₄OH
titration
- neutralise an acid with an alkali accurately
- this produces a salt and water
- evaporate the water to produce a pure sample of the salt
spectator ions
not involved in the reaction because they remain unchanged
a salt can be regarded as a
substance in which the hydrogen ion of the acid had been replaced by the positive metal ion of the neutraliser
H⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)
H₂O (l)
