Acids bases and salts Flashcards
Examples of strong acid
Sulfuric acid
Hydrochloric acid
Nitric Acid
Examples of weak acid (3-4 5-6)
Ethanoic acid (vinegar)
Carbonic acid
Examples of weak alkali
Ammonia
Examples of strong alkali
Sodium Hydroxide
Potassium Hydroxide
what does strong mean
Strong = acids or alkalis completely ionised in water
what does weak mean
weak = acids or alkalis partially ionised in water.
What is the neutralisation equation
H+ (aq) + OH- (aq) -> H20 (l)
What is a soluble Base
Alkali
What is the test for hydrogen
Lit splint in a test tube with hydrogen causes a pop
What is the test for carbon dioxide
bubble through limewater
milky liquid.

Observations of Acid and Metal
bubbles
heat is released
solid disappears

What is and what produces HN03
produces HN03 = nitric acid
HN03 = nitrate
What is and what produces HCL
produces HCL = Hydrochloric acid
HCL = chloride
What is and what produces H2SO4
produces H2SO4 = sulfuric acid
H2SO4 = sulfate
Neutralisation reactions are…
Exothermic
Neutralisation practical steps were
adding acid and alkali together in a beaker with a thermometer the temperature would rise this experiment is carried out in a polystyrene cup (insulator)
What is a salt
Salt = compound formed when some or all of hydrogen ions of an acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions. Salts are named by taking name of metal then adding ending based on acid used.
Acid + ammonia forms what salt?
Ammonium salt
