Q

What is reactivity?

A

How chemically reactive a metal is. When added to water some metals have high reactivity and react very vigorously and other metal barely react because they have low reactivity

Q

What substance releases H+ ions?

A

Acids are compounds that, when dissolved in water, release H+ ions

23
Q

What are the three main acids?

A

Sulfúrico acid, Nitric acid, Hydrochloric acid

24
Q

What is the symbol for sulfuric acid?

A

H2SO4

25
Q

What is the symbol, for nitric acid?

A

HNO3

26
Q

What is the symbol for hydrochloric acid?

A

HCl

27
Q

What substance release OH-?

A

Alkalis are compounds that, when dissolved in water, release OH- ions

28
Q

What is the pH scale?

A

A measure of acidity and alkalinity which runs from 0 to 14

29
Q

Which solutions are acidic?

A

<7

30
Q

Which solutions are alkaline?

A

> 7

31
Q

Which solutions are neutral?

A

7

32
Q

What is a logarithmic scale?

A

As the pH scale increases by 1 the number of H+ ions decreases by 10x and the number of OH- ions increases by 10x

33
Q

What is universal indicator?

A

Can tell us the approximate pH of a solution

34
Q

What is an electronic pH probe?

A

Tell us the exact pH of a solution

35
Q

What is a strong acid?

A

When dissolved in water, every molecule splits up into ions - they are completely ionised e.g sulfuric, nitric, hydrochloric

36
Q

What is a weak acid?

A

Only a percentage of their molecules split up into ions when dissolved in water - they are only partially ionised e.g ethanoic, citric, carbonic

37
Q

What is concentration?

A

How much of a substance there is dissolved in water

38
Q

What is a concentrated acid?

A

Lots of acid in small volumes of water

39
Q

What is a less concentrated acid?

A

Little acid in a large volume of water

40
Q

How are salts formed?

A

When acids react with metals or metal compounds, they form salts

41
Q

What salt does hydrochloric acid produce?

A

Chloride salt

42
Q

What salt does nitric acid produce?

A

Nitrate salt

43
Q

What salt does sulfuric acid produce?

A

Sulfate salt

44
Q

What does a reaction of acid with a metal produce?

A

Metal Salt + hydrogen

45
Q

What does a reaction of acid with a metal hydroxide produce?

A

Metal salt + water

46
Q

What does a reaction of acid with a metal oxide produce?

A

Metal salt + water

47
Q

What does a reaction of acid with metal carbonate produce?

A

Metal salt + water + carbon dioxide

48
Q

What type of reaction is the reaction of acids with metals?

A

Redox

49
Q

What is neutralisation?

A

Bases neutralise acids to form water in neutralisation reactions. Some metal hydroxides dissolve in water to form alkaline solutions called alkalis.
Some metals and metal hydroxide do not dissolve in water. They are bases but are not alkalis.

50
Q

What is crystallisation?

A

Chose the correct acid and base to produce the salt
Put some of the dilute acid into a flask. Heat gently with a Bunsen burner
Add a small amount of the base and stir
Keep adding the base until no more reacts and it is in excess
Filter to remove unreacted base
Add the remaining solution to an evaporating dish
Use a water bath to evaporate the water. Salt crystals will be left behind

51
Q

What does redox stand for?

A

Reduction and oxidation

52
Q

What is a spectator ion?

A

An ion that does not change charge

53
Q

What is the method for making soluble salts?

A

Measure out 10cm^3 acid
Add acid to boiling tube in hot water bath
Add base to acid until powder remains after stirring (excess)
Filter the solution
Use an evaporating basin to evaporate the solution
Pat crystals dry
