Q

why does the stomach produce hydrochloric acid?

A

to help with digestion as the enzymes will break down food in the stomach and they work best in an acidic environment

30
Q

having acid in the stomach helps to do what?

A

kill bacteria

31
Q

what is indigestion caused by?

A

too much hydrochloric acid in the stomach

32
Q

what do indigestion tablets contain?

A

based such as calcium carbonate, which neutralises the excess acid

33
Q

what are metal oxides and metal hydroxides often?

34
Q

metal oxides and metal hydroxides are often bases so what does this mean?

A

they can be neutralised with acids to form a salt and water

35
Q

acid + metal oxide = ?

A

salt + water

36
Q

acid + metal hydroxide = ?

A

salt + water

37
Q

what decides the salt?

A

the combination of metal and acid

38
Q

hydrochloric acid + copper oxide = ?

A

copper chloride + water

39
Q

hydrochloric acid + sodium hydroxide = ?

A

sodium chloride + water

40
Q

sulfuric acid + zinc oxide = ?

A

zinc sulfate + water

41
Q

sulfuric acid + calcium hydroxide = ?

A

calcium sulfate

42
Q

nitric acid + magnesium oxide = ?

A

magnesium nitrate + water

43
Q

nitric acid + potassium hydroxide = ?

A

potassium nitrate + water

44
Q

what physical state is a oxide?

45
Q

what physical state is a hydroxide?

46
Q

what physical state is a acid?

47
Q

what physical state is water?

A

48
Q

what do metal carbonates give?

A

salt + water + Carbon dioxide

49
Q

acid + metal carbonate = ?

A

salt + water + Carbon dioxide

50
Q

what do carbonates give off when they neutralise acids?

A

Carbon dioxide

51
Q

what is the symbol for hydrochloric acid?

52
Q

what is the symbol for sodium carbonate?

53
Q

what is the symbol for sodium chloride?

54
Q

what is the sodium for carbonate?

55
Q

what is the symbol for sodium?

56
Q

what is electrolysis?

A

the breaking down of a compound using electrical energy

57
Q

during electrolysis the electricity used come from a ?

A

direct current (d.c)

58
Q

what is an example of a d.c?

59
Q

what does the battery require to conduct the electricity?

60
Q

what is the liquid called that allow electricity to be conducted?

A

electrolytes

61
Q

how is the electricity applied to the electrolyte?

A

two electrodes

62
Q

what does the electrolyte contain?

A

the compound which is broken down into its component parts

63
Q

how are the component parts released?

A

as atoms or molecules - often as a gas

64
Q

what would happen if a d.c current is applies to the electrolyte?

A

the hydrochloric acid would decompose into its two component parts

65
Q

what are the two component parts of hydrochloric acid?

A

hydrogen gas and chlorine gas

66
Q

what is the symbol for hydrogen gas?

67
Q

what is the symbol for chlorine gas?

68
Q

how can the faded bubbling through the solution be collected?

A

at the electrodes

69
Q

how can you test for chlorine gas?

A

chlorine bleached litmus paper, turning it white

70
Q

what is the test of hydrogen gas?

A

hydrogen makes a “squeaky pop” with a lighted splint

71
Q

where does the “squeaky pop” come from whilst testing for hydrogen?

A

the hydrogen burning with the oxygen in the air to form H2O
