C4—Chemical Changes Flashcards
What is a displacement reaction
Occurs when a MORE reactive metal displaced a LESS reactive metal from a compound
What is a use of a displacement reaction
Obtain metals from their core
What’s is OIL RIG
Oxidation
Is
Loss of electrons
Reduction
Is
Gain of electrons
What’s the equation for alkali and acid
ACID+ALKALI———>SALT+WATER
Why is an acid pH<7
Due to its H+ ions
Why is an alkali pH>7
Due to its OH- Ions
The pH scale is….
NON-LINEAR
What gives you the indication of a pH by colour
Universal indicator
A strong acid…..
DISSOCIATES more completely.
an example of a strong acid is Hydrochloric
What are the Equipment for Titration
Burets
Pipette
Conical flask
Dilute Acid
Dilute Alkali
Retort stand
What is Electrolysis
Involved passing an ELECTRICAL CURRENT through a substance to cause oxidation and reduction
When can Electrolysis occur
Only happens if the Ions are free to mode.
Ionic compounds-only happen if molten metal are in solution
