C P1 -Chemical Changes Flashcards
What is the salt that comes from hydrochloric acid?
Hydrochloric acid = Chloride salt
What is the salt that comes from sulfuric acid?
Sulfuric acid = Sulfate salt
What is the salt that comes from nitric acid?
Nitric acid = Nitrate salt
What is the equation for neutralisation?
Neutralisation = sodium hydroxide + hydrochloric acid > sodium chloride + water
What is reduction?
Reduction is when oxygen is removed from a compound during a reaction
What is oxidation?
Oxidation is when oxygen is gained by a compound during a reaction
What charge are the ions which are produced by metals?
Metals produce positive ions when they react
How does the reactivity change in group 1 metals?
In group 1 metals, the reactivity increases down the group
What happens when group 2 metals react with acid?
When reacted with acid, group 2 metals fizz and their temperature increases
Does group 2 metals react with water?
Group 2 metals do not react with water
Does zinc, iron and copper react with water?
Zinc, iron and copper does not react with water
What happens when Zinc and Iron react with acid?
Zinc and iron react slowly with acid
Does copper react with acid?
Copper does not react with acid
What are metals called which are unreactive?
Unreactive metals are called native metals
What happens in a redox reaction?
In a redox reaction, the metal donates electrons to the hydrogen ions. This displaces hydrogen as a gas while the metal ions are left in the solution
What is a redox reaction between?
Redox reaction is between metals and acids
What is electrolysis?
Electrolysis is the process by which ionic substances are decomposed into simpler substances when an electric current passes through them
What are electrolytes?
Electrolytes are the free ions that comes from a melted or dissolved ionic compound, which can conduct electricity
What is a positive electrode called?
A positive electrode is called the anode
What is a negative electrode called?
A negative electrode is called the cathode
What are cations?
Cations are positive ions
What are anions?
Anions are negative ions
