what is an acid?
a species that releases H+ ions in aqueous solution
a strong acid … dissociates in solution
fully
a weak acid … dissociates in solution
partially
strong acid dissociations have the sign
->
weak acid dissociations have the sign
⇌ as they are reversible because an equilibrium exists between the ions and the acid. at any one time all 3 exist in the solution
what is a base?
a compound that neutralises an acid to form a salt
what is an alkali?
a water soluble base that releases OH- ions in aqueous solution
acid + metal hydroxide
salt +water
acid + metal oxide
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate
salt + CO2 + water
acid + metal
salt + hydrogen
what is a salt?
the product of a reaction in which the H+ ions from the acid are replaced by metal or ammonium ions
when making observations, state colour and state ….. a reaction
before during and after
what are the 3 most common alkalis?
NaOH, KOH, NH3
what is neutralisation?
the reaction between acids and bases to produce a salt
how do you test for halides?
add aqueous silver nitrate to an aqueous solution of a halide. the aqueous silver ions react with the aqueous halides to form precipitates of silver halides
silver chloride precipitate
white
silver bromide precipitate
cream
silver iodide precipitate
yellow
to test solubility for halides if precipitate colours hard to distinguish
add aqueous ammonia
is silver chloride soluble in NH3?
yes - dilute and concentrated
is silver bromide soluble in NH3?
no - dilute
yes - concentrated
is silver iodide soluble in NH3?
no - dilute and concentrated
how do you test for carbonate ions?
add dilute (nitric) acid, should get bubbles of CO2. Bubble the gas through limewater and precipitate of calcium carbonate turns lime water cloudy
CO3 2- reacts with H+ to form CO2
how do you test for sulfate ions?
add aqueous barium ions (from barium chloride or nitrate) to a solution. A white precipitate of barium sulfate will form if sulfate ions are present
how do you test for ammonium ions?
add aqueous sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to a solution of an ammonium ion (NH4+). Ammonia gas (NH3) is produced. Warm mixture and gas will be released. Will turn damp red litmus paper blue as it is alkaline
