Acids Tests & Chemical Equations Flashcards
What is sulfuric acid
H2SO4. ( both numbers down below the line)
Formula for sulfate- with charge
SO4. (4 below) charge is -2
Nitric acid
HNO3 ( number down below)
Formula for nitrate with charge
NO3 (3 below). -1 charge
Carbonate formula with charge
CO3 2- ( 3 below line)
Formula for hydroxide
OH (-1 charge)
Acid + Metal ->
Salt + hydrogen
Acid + Base ->
Salt + Water
Acid + Carbonate ->
Salt + Water + carbon dioxide
(A)Nitrate + (B) chloride ->
(B)Nitrate + (A)Chloride
(A)Oxide + (B)
(B)Oxide + (A) where B is higher up in the reactivity series than A
A + Oxygen ->
A Oxide, where A is a metal that corrodes or rusts
Group 1 Metal + Water ->
Metal Hydroxide + Hydrogen
Why does sodium have a +1 charge
During a reaction, it looses it’s single electron in the outer shell to the other atom- the sodium now has 1 more proton than electron, giving it a +1 charge
State why reacting Magnesium Oxide and copper will not work (displacement reaction)
Magnesium is higher up in the reactivity series, meaning copper can’t “steal” the oxygen from it
