Q

What are the physical properties of acid?

A
  • Sour taste
  • Corrosive
  • Turns blue litmus to red
  • Strong acids are good electrolytes (conduct electricity)

Q

How do you use the universal indicator differentiate between strong and weak acids? (process)

A
  • Dip universal indicator in equal amount
    of different acids
  • Compare the color with the pH chart
  • If pH is low then it is a strong acid; vice versa

Q

Methanesulfonic acid is a stronger acid than ethanoic acid.

Explain this statement

A

Methanesulfonic acid completely dissociates in water to release H+ ions whereas ethanoic acid partially dissociates in water

Q

What are the physical properties of bases?

A
  • bitter taste
  • feels soapy and slippery
  • Turns red litmus to blue
  • Strong alkalis are good electrolytes (can conduct electricity due to free ions)

Q

How do you use the universal indicator to differentiate between strong and weak alkalis? (process)

A
  • Dip the universal indicator in equal amounts of both alkali solutions
  • Compare the color with the pH chart
  • The greater the pH, the stronger the alkali

Q

How can we find pH?

A
  • Litmus solution ( test for acids and bases)
  • it only tells us about acid or base and no pH
16
Q

Methyl orange indicator.

COLOR in ACID:

COLOR in NEUTRAL:

COLOR in BASE:

A

COLOR in ACID: RED

COLOR in NEUTRAL: ORANGE

COLOR in BASE: YELLOW

17
Q

Phenothalein indicator.

COLOR in ACID:

COLOR in NEUTRAL:

COLOR in BASE:

A

COLOR in ACID: Colorless

COLOR in NEUTRAL: Colorless

COLOR in BASE: Pink

18
Q

Thymolphthalein indicator.

COLOR in ACID:

COLOR in NEUTRAL:

COLOR in BASE:

A

COLOR in ACID: Colorless

COLOR in NEUTRAL: Colorless

COLOR in BASE: Blue

19
Q

Why do we use the universal indicator method to find pH on paper?

A
  • It gives a rough idea of the pH
  • Therefore, It’s better than using the litmus test method
20
Q

Why is it not advisable to add fertilizers and limewater simultaneously? (2)

A
  • Ammonium salts react with limewater to give off ammonia gas.
  • As a result, nitrogen content for plants decreases since ammonia gas escapes to its surroundings.
21
Q

What’s salts?

A

it is a specie formed when hydrogen of an acid is replaced by a metal.

22
Q

Explain the process of titration.

A
  • Take the measured amount of HCl and NaOH in a burette and conical flask.
  • Pour a few drops of indicator into the conical flask
  • Allow HCl to pour into the conical flask until a color change is observed.
  • Note the volume of HCl used
  • perform titration again using the noted volumes of HCL and NaOH
  • {for evaporation} Boil off the solution 1/3rd and allow it to cool and crystallize.
  • {for evaporation} Dry them between sheets of filter paper
23
Q

Explain the process of crystallization.

A
  • Put excess CuO in a beaker containing HCl
  • Gently mix it until no more solid is disappearing
  • Filter off the excess CuO
  • {for evaporation} Boil off the solution 1/3rd and allow it to cool and crystallize.
  • {for evaporation} Dry them between sheets of filter paper
24
Q

Why is the excess CuO used?

A

To ensure that all the acid has reacted

25
Q

Explain the process of insoluble salts.

PRECIPITATION: TWO SOLUBLE salts react to give an INSOLUBLE salt and SOLUBLE salt

A
  • Put salt solution 1 into a beaker of salt solution 2
  • Gently mix until no more solid is forming
  • Perform filtration to obtain the insoluble salt formed
  • Wash the salt crystals with distilled water and dry them between sheets of filter paper.
