C4 Flashcards
is a strong acid the same as a concentrated acid
no
strength = proportion of molecules to ionise in water
conc = how much acid in a given volume
acid + metal hydroxide =
salt + water
acid + metal carbonate =
carbon dioxide + water + salt
if less reactive than carbon metals can be extracted by
reduction
more reactive than hydrogen
reacts with acids
acid + metal =
salt + hydrogen
metal + water =
metal hydroxide + hydrogen
formation of ore
oxidation
extraction of ore
reduction
electrolyte
molten or dissolved ionic compound
positive ions are…
reduced to gain electrons
negative ions are…
oxidised to lose electrons
why can’t solids be electrolysed
ions are in a fixed position
aqueous solution cathode contents
H+ ions if more reactive
less reactive = layer of pure metal
aqueous solution anode contents
OH if present or oxygen and water
