Acids and bases Flashcards
what happens when you add acid or alkali to water
positively charged hydrogen ions or negative hydroxide ions
what colour does phenolphthalein go in acids and alkali
colourless in acids and pink in alkali
what colour does litmus paper go in acids and alkalis
red in acids blue in alkalis
what colour does Methyl orange go in acids and alkalis
red in acids and yellow in alkalis
what happens when you increase the PH by 1
a decrease in factor 10 in hydrogen concentration
what happens when you decrease the ph by 2
you increase the hydrogen concentration by 100
Tell me the method for the neutralisation reaction for acids and bases neutralisation reaction
measure a volume of HCL into a conical flask
add a fixed mass CaO into HCL
wait for base to completely react and record the PH of the solution using glass rod if u added UI
repeat till unreacted CaO on bottom of flask
Plot graph
Explain a strong acid
ionise completely in water as large amounts of acid molecules dissociate to release H+
explain a weak acid
do not fully ionise and set up reversible reaction as only few proportion of acids dissociate to release H+
what is a concentrated solution
large amount of solute in a given volume of solution per dm3
What is a Alkali
a water soluble base
what are the four reaction of acids and metals we must know
acid + metal oxide
acid + metal hydroxide
acid + metal
acid + metal carbonate
what are the results of metal oxide
salt + water
what are the results of acid and metal hydroxide
salt + water
what are the results of acid + metal
salt + hydrogen
