acid + base=?
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate=?
salt+ water + carbon dioxide
acid + metal=?
salt + hydrogen
acid + metal oxide=?
salt + water
acid + metal hyrdoxide =?
salt + water
metal + water=?
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
elements below or above carbon get extracted via electrolysis?
above carbon
what are the top 5 most reactive metals in the reactivity series?
potassium sodium lithium calcium magnesium
in a aqueous solution in electrolysis, what is the rule for the product made at the cathode?
hyrdrogen has will be produced if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen
if metal isn’t more reactive, then a solid layer of metal will be produced instead
in a aqueous solution in electrolysis, what is the rule for the product made at the anode?
if there is a halogen involved, the halogen will be produced
if there isn’t a halogen, then oxygen will be produced
what is the half equation for the cathode?
2H+ + 2e- = H2
what is the half equation for the anode?
2Cl- - 2e- = Cl2
