Q

State the colour change of red litmus and blue litmus paper when acids and bases are present

A

Red - red = acid
Red - blue = base
Blue - blue = base
Blue - red = acid

Q

Give me an example of a base neutralising an acid

A

Hydrochloride acid + sodium hydroxide = sodium chloride(salt) + water

(HCL) + (NaOH) = NaCl + H20

Q

Give me an example of method 2 in neutralisation

A

Hydrochloride acid + Calcium carbonate = calcium chloride + carbon dioxide + water

(2HCL) + (CaCO3) = CaCl2 + CO2 + H20

Q

What is titration

A

To find the exact amount of acid required to just neutralise a certain volume of base

17
Q

When acids and metals react what do they produce

A

Salt and hydrogen

18
Q

Give me an example of when metals and acids reac

A

Zinc + hydrochloride acid = zinc chloride + hydrogen

Zn + 2HCL = ZNCL2 + H2
