acids and redox Flashcards
sulfuric acid
H2SO4
nitric acid
HNO3
acid
release H+ in aq sol
alkali
release OH- in aq sol
strong acid
fully dissociates in sol- rel all of H+
weak acid
partially dissociates- rel small prop oh available H atoms as H+
what does the ebm sign indicate
the forwards reaction is incomplete
example of weak acid
CH3CH2COOH- ethanoic acid
neutralisation reaction
reaction of H+ and OH- to form water
neutralisation reactions of acids and bases
acid+metal (hydr)oxide-> salt and water
acid+carbonate-> CO2+H2O+salt
alkali
water soluble base
standard solution
sol of a known conc
uses of titrations
finding conc of a sol
identifying unknown chemicals
finding the purity of a substance
why is checking impurities important
medicines and food
impurities can cause harm to patients
