C2 Salts Flashcards
How is an insoluble base like copper oxide used to make a soluble salt?
Excess copper oxide is added to acid and the extra is filtered out before evaporation and crystallisation
What scale measures acidity or alkalinity of a solution?
pH
What are metal oxides and hydroxides?
Bases
What acid is used to make a chloride salt?
Hydrochloric acid
What ions make a solution acidic?
H+
What is a precipitate?
Solid insoluble salt
How could an insoluble salt be removed?
Filtration
What acid is used to make a nitrate salt?
Nitric acid
Is ammonia an acid or an alkali?
Alkali
Give one use of making insoluble salts?
Photography
Acids and alkalis reacted completely produce a salt solution, what substance is used to show when this has happened?
Indicator
What 2 chemicals could be used to make an insoluble salt of lead chloride?
Sodium chloride
Lead nitrate
Give an ionic equation that represents neutralisation.
H+ + OH- → H2O
Why are ammonium salts important?
Make fertilisers
What salt is produced if potassium hydroxide reacts with nitric acid?
Potassium nitrate
