test for h2 gas
colourless, odourless hydrogen gas extinguishes a lighted splint with a “pop” sound
test for co2 gas
colourless, odourless carbon dioxide gas forms a white precipitate when bubbled into limewater
def base
a substance which reacts with acid to give out salt and water
def alkali
a base soluble in water
properties of alkalis (texture, taste, ph, conductivity)
corrosive, bitter, soapy, 7>x>14, turns moist red litmus paper blue, dissolves in water to form solutions which can conduct electricity
test for nh3 gas
colourless, pungent ammonia gas turns most red litmus blue
strong acid vs weak acid (conductivity)
strong acids conduct electricity better than weak acids
