acids bases and salts Flashcards
What is the role of the pH scale?
pH scale is used to show the acidity or alkalinity of a solution
metal + acid →
salt + hydrogen
alkali + acid →
salt + water
What type of reaction is an metal + acid reaction?
redox reaction
metal hydroxide + acid →
salt + water
metal carbonate + acid →
salt + water + carbon dioxide
acid + base →
salt + water
Acid ion
(H+)
Base ion
(OH-)
Neutralisation reaction
Reaction in which acids react with bases or alkalis to produce salts.
Titration
Used to follow the course of a neutralisation reaction which can be used to find out how much of an acid/alkali reacts with a certain volume of an alkali/acid.
crystillation
long explanation
Heat the filtrate Until crystals form in a cooled sample Leave the solution to cool and filter to remove crystals Wash with deionised water Dry on filter paper
insoluble salt separation long explanation
Mix Stir using a glass rod Flitter Wash in deionised water Dry and leave in warm place
what elements in reactivity series don’t react with acid
below hydrogen
what elements don’t react with water
below calcium
