Acids Bases and salts Flashcards
What ions are present in all acids
the ion is the H+
What ions are present in all alkalis
OH-
Define an acid
An acid is a solution that has more free hydrogen ions
Define an base
A base is a solution that has less free hydrogen ions
what is the difference between a base and an alkali
A base is a substance that neutralises an acid.
An alkali is a SOLUBLE base.
acid + base =
acid + base = salt +water
acid + alkali =
acid + alkali = salt +water
metal + acid
metal + acid → salt + hydrogen
acid + metal carbonate
acid + metal carbonate → a salt + water + carbon dioxide
formula for sulphuric acid
H2SO4
formula for ethanoic acid

Ammonias formula
NH3
Whats is an indicator
a thing that indicates the state or level of something
copper oxide + sulphuric acid =
copper oxide + sulphuric acid → copper sulphate + water
Hydrochloric acid + Iron =
Hydrochloric acid + Iron → Iron (II) Chloride + Hydrogen gas
