23
Q

What is an indicator?

A

A dye that changes colour depending on whether it’s above or below a certain pH

24
Q

What are wide range indicators? What are they useful for?

A

Indicators that contain a mixture of dyes, so they change colour gradually over a broad range of pH. They are useful when estimating pH.

25
Q

How can you measure the pH of a solution?

A

With an indicator

With a pH probe attached to a pH meter

26
Q

What is a pH probe? How accurate is it compared to an indicator?

A

An electronic device that measures the pH of a solution. They are more accurate than indicators because they output a number rather than a colour.

27
Q

Acid + base –> ?

What is this reaction called?

A

Salt + water

Neutralisation

28
Q

What is the pH of the products formed in a neutralisation reaction?

A

7 (neutral)

29
Q

What do strong acids do in water?

A

They ionise completely - all the acid particles dissociate to release H+ ions.

30
Q

What do weak acids do in water?

A

They don’t fully ionise - only a small proportion of acid particles dissociate to release H+ ions.

31
Q

What do acids do in aqueous solutions?

A

They ionise

32
Q

Why are strong acids more reactive than weak ones?

A

Reactions of acids involve the H+ ions reacting with other substances. If the concentration of H+ ions is higher, the reaction will happen faster.

33
Q

What is the pH of an acid or alkali?

A

The concentration of H+ ions in the solution

34
Q

How does the concentration of H+ ions change across the pH scale?

A

For every decrease of 1 on the pH scale, it multiplies by 10

35
Q

Metal + water –> ?

A

Metal hydroxide + hydrogen

36
Q

Which metals react with water? (4)

A

Potassium, sodium, lithium, calcium

37
Q

Which metals do not react with water? (3)

A

Zinc, iron, copper

38
Q

What is an ore?

A

A compound containing enough of a metal to make it worth the cost of extracting it

39
Q

What is oxidation?

A

The gain of oxygen and the loss of electrons

40
Q

What is reduction?

A

The loss of oxygen and the gain of electrons

41
Q

What does OIL RIG stand for?

A

Oxidation Is Loss, Reduction Is Gain (of electrons)

42
Q

Which metals can be extracted by reduction with carbon? (general case and 3 examples)

A

Those which are below carbon in the reactivity series.

Zinc, iron, copper

43
Q

What does PANIC stand for?

A

Positive Anode, Negative Is Cathode

44
Q

Which reactants are reduced and oxidised in a displacement reaction?

A

The metal ion is reduced, the metal atom is oxidised

45
Q

Which ions are attracted to which electrodes in electrolysis?

A

The positive metal ions go to the negative cathode, the negative non-metal ions go to the positive anode.
