C4- Making a salt,redox equations, pH of acids and electrolysis Flashcards
What is the equation for neutralisation?
acid+base—>salt+water
Name some strong acids
Hydrochloric, sulfuric,nitric
Name some weak acids
ethanoic, citric, carbonic
What are metal OXIDES and metal HYDROXIDES?
Bases
Give the order of the reactivity series from most to least reactive
Potassium Sodium Lithium Calcium Magnesium CARBON Zinc Iron HYDROGEN Copper
What is oxidation?
gain of oxygen
What is reduction?
loss of oxygen
A loss of electrons is called…..
Oxidation
A gain of electrons is called…..
Reduction
What are REDOX reactions?
where a reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal
What does Electrolysis mean?
Splitting up with electricity
The positive electrode is called the….
anode
The negative electrode is called the….
cathode
What happens at the negative electrode?
Metals are attracted as they form positive ions (opposites attract) So for example, aluminium is formed at the cathode
What happens at the positive electrode?
Non-metals are attracted as they form negative ions (opposites attract) so for example, oxygen is formed at the anode
