Acids and redox Flashcards
What is an acid
a proton donor ( contain H+)
What is a strong acid
An acid that completely dissociates in an aqueous solution
eg: HCL ⇌ H+ + Cl-
what is a weak acid
AN acid that does not fully dissociate in an aqueous solution
eg: CH3COOH ⇌ H+(AQ) + CH3COO-
what is a base
neutralises an acid to form a salt. (nh3)
what is an alkali
A water soluble base that realeases OH- into solution
What is the ionic equation for any neutralisation reaction
H+ + OH- ➝ H2O
Salt name that is prepared using HCL
Chloride
Salt name that is prepared using h2so4
sulfate
Salt name that is prepared using HNO3
nitrate
Salt name that is prepared using ehtanoic acid
ethanoate
What equipment is used in a titration
Beurette
pipette
spotting tile
single change indicatiort such as methyl orange
What is an oxidation number
A number that is based upon the number of e- involved in bonding
oxidation number rules
O2 ➝ -2
H ➝ +1
F ➝ -1
Ion ➝ charge of ion
H in hydride ➝ -1
O in peroxide ➝ -1
O bonded to F ➝ +2
rule of oxidation numbers
sum of ask of the oxidation numbers = charge of molecule
What is a redox reaction
a reaction involving oxidation and reduction
