monoprotic/basic acid definition

A

acids that can only donate 1 proton

27
Q

standard solution definition

A

a solution with a known concentration

28
Q

standard solution method

A

1- weigh out amount of solid with 3dp balance and weighing boat
2- transfer solid into a beaker, wash out any leftover solid into beaker using deionised water
3- fully dissolve solid with deionised water and stir
4- transfer solution into volumetric flask with a funnel and rinse everything into flask
5- fill volumetric flask with deionised water up to graduation line
6- mix by inverting several times with the lid on

29
Q

titration method

A

1- chemical with known concentration and volume goes in burette, add a few drops of indicator to chemical in conical flask
2- slowly add chemical in burette to the chemical in conical flask until indicator changes colour
3- when nearing end point indicator colour will disappear when swirled, start adding drop by drop
4- read how much chemical was added from burette from the bottom of the meniscus at eye level
5- record results to 2dp and repeat until 2 results are concordant

30
Q

avogadro’s constant definition

A

the number of atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12

31
Q

molar mass definition

A

the mass of 1 mole of a substance, units gmol-1

32
Q

salt definition

A

a compound formed of an ionic lattice between anions and cations that is neutral overall, made as the product of a reaction in which positive ions from an acid are replaced with metal or ammonium ions

33

A

CO3 2-

34
Q

what is the formula of a sulfate ion

A

SO4 2-

35

40
Q

what is the formula of a hydronium ion

A

H3O +

41
Q

what type of ion do metals form

A

positive ions

42
Q

acid definition

A

proton donors

43
Q

base definition

A

proton acceptors

44
Q

what is the difference between a strong and weak acid/base

A

strong acids/bases fully dissociate in aqueous solution, so 100% of the product is ions

weak acids/bases only partially dissociate in aqueous solution, so only a small proportion of the product is ions

45
Q

what is the difference between a concentrated and dilute acid/base

A

concentrated means there is a large amount of acid/base moles relative to the number of solvent moles in a solution

dilute means there is a small amount of acic/base moles relative to the number of solvent moles in a solution
