C4 Chemical Changes Flashcards
Ph scale goes from 0-14
Lower ph of a solution the more acidic
Higher ph of a solution the more alkaline it is
You can measure the ph of a solution
An indicator is a dye that changes colour depending on whether its above or below a certain PH
Acids and bases Neutralise each other
When acids dissolve in water, they form solutions with a PH less than 7
Reactions of acids
Metal oxides and metal hydroxides are Bases
Metal oxides ans hydroxides
They react with acids in neutralisation reactions to form a salt and water
The reactivity series and extracting metals
You can place metals in order of reactivity
The Reactivity series-How easily a metal reacts
The reactivity series lists metals in order of how reactive they are.
-metals react to form positive ions
-
Very reactive metals
Potassium,sodium,lithium and calcium all react explosively with acids
Less reactive metals
Magnesium,zinc and iron react less violently
