16
Q

name the unreactive metals

A

copper, gold, silver

these metals will not react with acids

17
Q

If the gas/liquid turns red litmus paper -> blue, is it acid or alkali

A

alkaline

18
Q

If the gas/liquid turns blue litmus paper -> red, is it acid or alkali

A

acid

19
Q

What is the test for hydrogen gas

A

Gas extinguishes a lighted splint with a “pop” sound

20
Q

Explain why we cannot test for the gas with a lighted splint immediately when the metal is added to the acid

A

The metal needs time to react with the acid

21
Q

What is the test for carbon dioxide

A

Gas forms a white precipitate with limewater

22
Q

what is the test for ammonia gas?

A

gas turns moist red litmus paper blue

23
Q

What is limewater and the white precipitate it forms with CO2

A

Ca(OH)2
