Q

Can litmus paper determine the pH of a solution?

A

Litmus cannot be used to determine the strength of a solution and therefore cannot be used to determine the pH

Q

What is the pH scale?

A

The pH scale is a scale used to measure how acidic or how alkaline a solution is. The pH scale runs from 0 to 14. A pH value of 7 is neutral. A pH value less than 7 is acidic and a pH value more than 7 is alkaline.

23
Q

What is a base

A

A base is
* any metal oxide e.g. calcium oxide
* any metal hydroxide e.g. calcium hydroxide
* any metal carbonate e.g. calcium carbonate
* any metal hydrogen carbonate e.g. calcium hydrogen carbonate

24
Q

What is an alkali

A

An alkali is a base that is soluble in water.

25
Q

Reaction for Metal Carbonate + Acid and Metal Hydrogen Carbonate + Acid

A

ACID + METAL = METAL SALT + WATER + CARBON
CARBONATE DIOXIDE

ACID + METAL = METAL SALT + WATER + CARBON
HYDROGEN CARBONATE DIOXIDE

25
Q

Reaction for Metal + Acid

A

METAL + ACID = METAL SALT + HYDROGEN

26
Q

Reaction for Ammonia + Acid

A

AMMONIA + ACID = AMMONIUM SALT

26
Q

Reaction for Acid + Metal Oxide and Acid + Metal Hydroxide

A

ACID + METAL OXIDE METAL SALT + WATER

ACID + METAL HYDROXIDE METAL SALT + WATER

27
Q

What is the chemical test for Hydrogen?

A

When a lighted splint is placed in a test tube of hydrogen gas there is a squeaky pop. This is a mini-explosion because the hydrogen burns very quickly forming water.
2H₂ + O₂ 2H₂O

28
Q

What is the chemical test for Oxygen?

A

When a glowing splint is placed in a test tube of oxygen it will relight.

28
Q

What is the chemical test for Carbon Dioxide?

A

When carbon dioxide is bubbled through limewater the limewater changes from a colourless clear solution to a cloudy or milky suspension.

Ca(OH)₂ (aq) + CO₂(g) CaCO₃ (s) + H₂O (l)
(limewater solution)

29
Q

What is a salt?

A

A salt is a compound that is formed when some or all of the hydrogen ions present in an acid are replaced by metal ions or ammonium ions.

30
Q

Describe method one of Preparing salts

A

The insoluble solid (metal, metal oxide or metal carbonate) is added to the acid until there is excess. The solid is added in excess to ensure all the acid has reacted.

The excess solid is then removed by filtration and the filtrate heated to half the volume and then left to cool and crystallise.

In order to obtain a pure dry sample the crystals are dried between sheets of filter paper or in a dessicator.

31
Q

Describe method two of Preparing salts

A

Adding an acid to an alkali,

This method is known as titration and an indicator is used to determine when the acid and alkali have become neutral and the salt has formed.

The indicator can be removed by heating the solution with charcoal.

31
Q

What colour are most of group l, Group ll, aluminium and zinc compounds and when dissolved in water.

A

Most Group I, Group II, aluminium and zinc compounds are white in colour and when dissolved in water form colourless solutions.

32
Q

Why Hazard symbols are used instead of words

A
  • are eye catching
  • can be understood by those who cannot read
  • are internationally recognised symbols
  • are easily recognised symbols indicating a warning
33
Q

Meaning of Hazard sign Explosive

A

May explode when heated, exposed to a flame or knocked

34
Q

Meaning of Hazard sign Toxic

A

Serious risk of causing death by poisoning when swallowed or breathed -Look in book for symbol

35
Q

Meaning of Hazard sign Caution

A

Less poisonous than toxic substances, but must be handled with care. May irritate the skin or eyes -Look in book for symbol

36
Q

Meaning of Hazard sign Corrosive

A

Destroy (‘eat away’) flesh and other materials -Look in book for symbol

37
Q

Meaning of Hazard sign Highly Flammable

A

Easily catches fire -Look in book for symbol
