acids and bases Flashcards
acidic solution
more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions
alkaline solution
more hydroxide ions than hydrogen ions
neutral solution
equal amount of hydrogen and hydroxide ions
name 3 metal bases
metal oxide
metal carbonate
metal hydroxide
equations for metal bases
metal oxide —> salt + water
metal hydroxide —> salt + water
metal carbonate —> salt + water + carbon dioxide
type of oxide that dissolves in water to form acidic solution
soluble non metal oxides
type of oxide that dissolves in water to form alkaline solution
soluble metal oxides
what’s a base
substance that neutralises an acid
what’s a neutralisation reaction
reaction where base reacts with acid to form water and salt
spectator ions
ions which don’t take part in the reactions and appear on both sides of the equation
titration
technique that uses neutralisation reaction to determine the conc of an acid or alkali
apparatus used to measure titration
burette and pipette
titration formula
c1 v1 / n1 = c2 v2 / n2
why is titration used
to prepare soluble salts
concordant results
results within 0.2cm cubed of eachother
what would adding water to an acidic or alkaline solution do
acidic = decrease number of hydrogen ions
alkaline = decrease number of hydroxide ions
precipitation reaction
one in which dissolved substances react to form one (or more) solid insoluble products
with spectator ions and long reaction
to create crystals from a base reacting w acid
add, filter, heat
